Clean Heart

Clean heart

Clean and sharp

Clean dream

Bad start

He loved his brother and his sister

Luke and Tony called him mister

They made him feel much more like a man

He loved his daddy, though he never told him

And how he loved his mama

He loved, he loved her like

Like an Italian

Little Janet said, "You look so fine, so fine"

But something in his smile made them feel like strangers

And then he straightened his belt with a lover's touch

And he said, "I'm gonna bring home the things

That are out of your clutch"

Seemed like the hottest night in summer

A heat that makes you feel like dying

Somewhere in the next block

There was a baby crying

Finger on the trigger for the years to come

Finger on the trigger for the years to come

And as the moon slid up over the restless streets

Sirens mockin', people stop to see

Ooh, their greedy eyes don't realize he's someone's son

Finger on the trigger for the years to come

Finger on the trigger for the years to come
