Mystery Iets - “Someone Purer” from the album Radlands
lyrics
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, that's the one I know
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.
That’s no way to go.
That’s no way to go.
CHORUS:
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
ADDITIONAL LYRICS:
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
when I am you’ll know
when I am you’ll know
Oh mighty one
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
Soul
Pure and innocent soul
Pure and innocent soul
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, that's the one I know
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.
That’s no way to go.
That’s no way to go.
CHORUS:
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

Pure and innocent soul
Pure and innocent soul
