You don’t remember what to say
Cmaj7 Em
You don’t remember what to do
Em Em7
You don’t remember where to go
Cmaj7 Em
You don’t remember what to choose
Em Em7 Cmaj7 Em Em7 Cmaj7 Em
You wheel, you steal, you feel, you kneel down, down, down, down
Chorus:
G
All the stony people
B7
Walking ’round in Christian licorice clothes
Em
I can’t hesitate
G Em Em7 Cmaj7 Em
And I can’t wait For Pleasant Street

The sunshine reminds you of concreted skies
Em Em7 Cmaj7 Em
You thought you were flying but you opened your eyes
Em Em7 Cmaj7 Em
And you found yourself falling back to yesterday’s lies
Em Em7 Cmaj Em
Hello, Pleasant Street, you know she’s back again

You wheel, you steal, you feel, you kneel down, down, down, down
(Chorus)
Em Em7 Cmaj7 Em
At twilight your lover comes to your room
Em Em7 Cmaj7 Em
He’ll spin you, he’ll weave you ’round his emerald loom
Em Em7 Cmaj7 Em
And softly you’ll whisper all around his ear
Em Em7 Cmaj7 Em
«Sweet lover, I love Pleasant Street
Em Em7 Cmaj7 Em Em7 Cmaj7 Em
I wheel, I steal, I feel my way down to kneel. down, 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 who to choose
You wheel, you steal, you feel, you kneel down, down, down down
