Meryn Cadell - Steam Clean Express lyrics

Nothing can keep you down. Nothing can keep you dumb. Nothing can keep you marching. Nothing will keep you young. You talk about your life in sports an*logy Secretly you're feeling kind of empty You play the stock market in your spare time Away from the demanding rocket science grind Are you on the highway clenching Your teeth in your mouth, and the wheel in your hand... With your self-help tape on 10 are you rattling the windows? Do you think you just saw your last chance fly past and go? Paper clip, paper Keeping it together Stay with it, stay with it forever. Paper clip, paper Keeping it together Stay with it, stay with it forever Life is hammered down to just one hamster Wondering if you are gonna feed it. Or does it have to roll over, play dead, For you to even see it. The problem is that when you wear your nice lace bu*toned to the top it irritates your neck Where you had an operation a few years back And they removed the defiant look from your face. Paper clip, paper Keeping it together Stay with it, stay with it forever. If everyone else jumped off a cliff.... Would you drive down to the bottom in your Jeep And go through everyone else's wallets, Just to see if there was anything worth keeping? Don't settle down, don't settle For nothing til you're clear on who you're doing it for. Are you gonna let your petri dish of plans Fester by the back door? The road well-travelled is the boring one. You're gonna fall asleep on the ride, hon A bit of drool against a dirty window Keeping you from going where you should go. Paper clip, paper Keeping it together Stay with it, stay with it forever. Paper clip, paper Keeping it together Stay with it, stay with it forever. If you can never be too rich or too thin..... When you eventually collapse on the street, Is it expensive to keep the story out of the newspaper? Once the sod really takes root here, And the trees are large enough That the dogs can't pull them out of the ground, This will be a lovely place to live. If money can't buy you love, what are you saving it for? Thinking small thoughts? Thinking mall thoughts? Counteract it baby with a little acting up maybe
