Lyrics for Desire

I want this planet and I want it now To beat like an anvil 'til the poison's out I am a pencil-pusher with the pencil-pusher blues What the hell do I have left to lose? And I can't stop now (can you do the things you dream about?) I don't know how (do you wish to see fire in the clouds?) It's too late (desire, desire, desire) I can't stop now (desire, desire, desire) I want disaster, I don't want to sleep Fills my vision, I can hardly speak I'm just a knuckle-dragger with the knuckle-dragger grin You took my mind and left a hollow twin But I'm almost there (they have different colours of blood) I don't think so (they have power like you never could) It's too late (desire, desire, desire) I can't stop now (desire, desire, desire) Can I tell you that I'm empty? This is all that I see clearly Can I tell you that I'm empty? This is all that I see clearly (Desire, desire, desire) I can't stop now (desire, desire, desire) I said it's too late (desire, desire, desire) I don't know how (desire, desire, desire) Mmm, just let, just let me go Just let, oh, let me go Can I tell you that I'm empty? This is all that I see clear-
