Wash (Lyrics)

Artist: Pearl Jam

Lyrics:

Oh please let it rain today. This city's so filthy. Like my mind in ways.
Oh it was the time. Like a clean new taste.
Smiling eyes before me and tears from my face.

Wash my love. Wash my love. Wash my love, yeah.

Sin for sale. Buying just a need. O who planted all the devils seeds?
And what's the truth? And the truth that lies at home.
It's on the inside and I can't get it off. Yeah.

Wash my love. Wash my love. Wash my love, yeah.

What's clean is pure. But hey, I'm white on the outside. Though I stray.
What she don't know today might kill us both tomorrow. Bring it back someway.
Bring it back, back, back... to the clean form. To the pure form.

Wash my love. Wash my love. Wash my love. Wash my love.
Wash my love. Wash my love. Wash my love. Yeah
Wash my ...wash my...wash my love....yeaaaaaaahhhhhhh

Comments

This song has always taken my breath away. It's one of those songs where you don't want to listen to it very often, just because of the affect it has on you....Really intense, really passionate, take a deep breath.

How this one didn't end up on Ten I'll never know...

It would have fit right in on Ten for sure.

It's the best song I ever heard live - Quicken Loans Arena 5/9/10.

The first time I saw them live in Rochester in 94 they opened up with Wash and Eddie came walking on stage with a Batman mask...hooked. Fan for life.
