Send "Baby's Clean Conscience" Ringtone to Cell

I got a baby's clean conscience
I walk around with my head off
And in the state of the big sky
The ground holds on to my grandpa's
I'm always walking back one pace
I'm walking back, head off
And in the state of the loud feet
The dirt stores much in my familiy
I'm always walking that one way
That dirt stores much in my family
I blew off my laundry
And my clothes hold on to the dirt, see
And in the state of the loud feet
I've got a baby's clean conscience
I walk around with my shoes off
And the ground holds on to my bad walk

    General Comment:I love his song so much and i agree that it is way better the Casanova version. has a soothing calming innocence to it. its in the sound of his voice and the soothing beat of the guitar and bass. it really ties in together well. "The dirt stores much in my family" he is saying that there are things in his family to hide things that have been barred underground. "I blew off my laundry And my clothes hold on to the dirt, see" The same dirt that stores the dead and the barred he has stirred up on to his clothing perhaps proving that he himself is not void of these things they hide but he blows it off to preserve his baby clean conscience. OR is it that he must walk among the dirt that holds the dead and barred? "I walk around with my head off" to walk around with ones head off would imply that he is not thinking.. maybe is not fully aware of what is around him.
