Nields - Check It Out lyrics

rate me

I want to be beautiful, so I got a magazine<br />

But it made me so sleepy, and now I'm in a dream<br />

A voice says, "Go down to the river between the bridge and the ravine<br />

And don't come out of the water till your light shines clean"<br />

<br />

Chorus<br />

Check it out, check it out, check it out<br />

Check it out, check it out, check it out<br />

Check it out, check it out, check it out<br />

Check it out<br />

<br />

I put my head underwater, it's like my childhood room<br />

But the water won't clean me, it smells like women's perfume<br />

How can I wash my sins away with the water from this poisoned stream?<br />

And how can I get my light to shine when I don't know if I can be redeemed?<br />

<br />

Chorus<br />

<br />

I saw the Rocky Mountains on a dirty TV screen<br />

But when I tried to polish it, I found that it was clean<br />

Sometimes I want to buy Bob's old VW bug, drive back to 1969<br />

But then who'd be around to polish it when I finally get my light to shine?<br />

<br />

Chorus
