Tom Verlaine - Clear It Away lyrics

Well, the ruins are the big attraction around here The main draw, as they say But such contraction is hard to bear Let's clear it away Clear it away Clear it away Clear it away I used to crack a lot of safes Now, here I am dealing scrap It's a living but not a life What a beautiful, oh what a beautiful trap Let's clear it away Let's clear it away Let's clear it away Well, the ruins are the big attraction around here And there you are in search of novelty You take a big bite of your appetite And then you tell me that I'm starving - Oh no Let's clear it away Clear it away Oh, let's clear it away Let's clear it away Clear it away Let's clear it away Clear it away Well, the ruins are the big attraction around here
