Can you hear the darkness is rising?
Ravens sound the night’s first song
From the bricks slip dealers of pleasure and wrong
It’s not for me, I like it clean and easy
Can you see the cries of the helpless?
Walking shadows lost to time
Matches flare, blades flash on the roll of a die
It’s all so complicated
Not for me, I like it clean and easy
From the mists drifts one who is different
Sliding by the dread and despair
Heard the lies, seen promises turn to thin air
They don’t touch him, Mr Clean and Easy
Desperate men look on him with envy
Painted women sigh by his feet
They can’t see the truth is what gives him peace
It’s not so complicated
Not for him, he’s Mr Clean and Easy
