Verse 1:
Em                 Em/D
You don't remember what to say
Cmaj7                      Em
You don't remember what to do
(Em)               Em/D
You don't remember where to go
Cmaj7                      Em     D
You don't remember what to choose
Em        Em/D       Cmaj7     Em   D     Em
You wheel, you steal, you feel, you kneel down
Em/D  Cmaj7 Em
Down, down, down
(Em)  Em/D  Cmaj7 Em
Down, down, down, down

Chorus:
G
All the stony people
         B         
Walking 'round in Christian licorice clothes
A
I can't hesitate
G
And I can't wait
             Em / / /
For Pleasant Street

Em/D / / / Cmaj7 / / / Em / / /

Verse 2:
The sunshine reminds you of concreted skies
You thought you were flying but you opened your eyes
And you found yourself falling back to yesterday's lies
Hello, Pleasant Street, you know she's back again
You wheel, you steal, you feel, you kneel down
Down, down, down

(chorus)

Verse 3:
At twilight your lover comes to room
He'll spin you, he'll weave you, 'round his emerald loom
And softly, you'll whisper all around his ear
"Sweet lover, I love Pleasant Street
I wheel, I steal, I feel, my way down to kneel"
Down, down, down

(chorus)

You don't remember what to say
You don't remember what to do
You don't remember which way to go
You don't remember what to choose
You wheel, you steal, you feel, you kneel down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down, down (repeat to fade)
