"Pleasantville" Lyrics
Copyright 2006 by John Durant
There's Mr. Peebles
at the five 'n dime
handin' candy to the children
with their hands open wide
my sister Mary
on her brand new bike
and the sun shines so bright
here in
Pleasantville
Momma's on the porch
with her apron on
my dog Charlie's
chewin' a bone
Daddy's out back
drawin' water from a well
that never runs dry
here in Pleasantville
(chorus)
I'm ready to start my new life
in a place I've never been
but it feels like home
in Pleasantville
there ain't no war
there ain't no fightin'
ain't no diff'rence
'tween black
'n white
the bull and the matador
lion and child
play in the fields
and time stands still
here
in Pleasantville
(chorus)
(bridge)
tears stream down my face
it took eighty-three years
to find this place
(chorus) >> (final chorus)
I'm ready to start my new life
in a place
I've never been
but I know I'm home
in Pleasantville....in Pleasantville
