Someone Purer

I was gripped with a bit of fear

Worried the one thing that I loved

Back when I was just a kid

Might now never be enough

That the body I was in

Might belong to someone else

Someone kinder

Someone surer

Someone innocent

Young and beautiful

Someone purer

I was scratching at my skin

Hopin changes would begin

But what laid beneath was blood

Well of course

What the hell was I thinking of

Won't you take me down to the creek

Wash away our sins of sleep

I feel so tired

As though I might

Not wake at all on the other side

That's no way to go

Oh my dear one

Bathe me in your glow

Cut out my lonely heart

And bury it in the snow

Nothing really means nothing

Is the saddest thing I know

So deliver me from sin

And give me rock and roll

Give me rock and roll

And in the morning there'll be hope

And in the morning there'll be light

And if I sleep and dream up a system

A solution

To fend off perils of the night

Come on in, I'll be born again

Born again as someone else

Someone kinder

Someone surer

Someone beautiful

Someone purer

And when I am you'll know

And when I am you'll know

??????

The devil knows my name

Will salvation come

And wash away my pain?

For I was once a kid

With a pure and innocent soul

So deliver me from sin

And give me rock and roll

Give me rock and roll

Give me rock and roll

A pure and innocent soul

And a pure and innocent soul

Give me rock and roll

Give me rock and roll

And a pure and innocent soul

And a pure and innocent soul
