Desire

Set fire by a girl named desire
 Set fire by a girl named desire
 Somewhere between half cocked
 And full-blown insanity
 Stuck in grid lock
 Running on an unknown battery
 Full-grown profanity
 Why can't it be that I could speak freely
 Freely speaking and this dreaming
 Couldn't possibly have any meaning
 It's just the same old shit
 And it keeps on repeating
 The purpose well it
 What she said to me
 As she was leaving
 And keeps on repeating
 Must save face now that I'm on the case
 And what a terrible waste with all this extra space
 And yet no place to put an entire empire
 That's been set fire by a girl named desire
 But that's the battle with one's self
 Happiness or wealth
 Letting it ride on these cards I been dealt
 And who would ever, ever, ever
 Go and hand it to you for free
 Would you believe me, never
 When it ain't even happened to me
 It wouldn't the first time
 Tripping into, into the sublime
 And that's fine
 Because I see it's so easy
 How everything comes to you
 It amazes me how everybody wants to come get next to you
 Must save face now that I'm on the case
 And what a terrible waste with all this extra space
 And yet no place to put an entire empire
 That's been set fire by a girl named desire
 Put it down
 Put it down, down, down
 Must save face now that I'm on the case
 And what a terrible waste with all this extra space
 And yet no place to put an entire empire
 That's been set fire by a girl named desire
 Set fire by a girl named desire
 Set fire by a girl named desire
