Clean Slate

Clean slate
Burning all the rest
It's getting late
Throw away the past

Map out detailed passage
Electric compass and graphs
Ailing non-believers
Try to get their laughs in time

Clean slate
Love will prevail
It's getting late
Time to set sail

With great anticipation
I'm setting sail
No big imagination
No more tall tales
The future's getting ready
No time to fail
A new land
You can do it
Love will prevail

Santa Fe to Monterey
What about Berlin
They used to like Americans
Somewhere where you're no one
No fences of the past

They let you bring computers
Pack all perishables last
Including all the medicines
Leaving out the side effects

You know I wanna bring you
But the rules they don't allow
At least we have photos
Stored up in the clouds

The older you get they say you build up regret
It's time to pull that regret
leave your crap
Don't look back

The younger crowd will make you proud
The older folks supposed to have wisdom
But lately they're just hanging on
And putting happiness in prison

Reject all their hate
Put your faith in the future
The sky is lovely tonight

The sun will show the way
It's a clean slate
Set sail

I love you, forever and again
But I understand, you don't wanna let me in
So I'm gonna fly solo, for now
Try to find beauty in the clouds
