Lyrics for In The Mouth A Desert
Can you treat it like an oil well When it's underground, out of sight? And if the sight is just a whore sign Can it make enough sense to me? Pretend the table is a trust knot, We'll put our labels down, faith is down I'll watch the yarn of twine unravel And you'll never get it back It's what I want (it's what I want) It's what I want (twine comes down) It's what I want, it's what I want Don't you know, I could make you try Make you try, make you try, make you try I've been crowned the King of Id And Id is all we have, so wait To hear my words and they're diamond-sharp I could open it up And it's up and down Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh It's what I want (it's what I want) I see you beg like a little dog (ball and twine) Don't you know that it's what I want? (It's what I want) I'll see you beg, and it makes you dry Make me dry, make me dry, make me dry I've been down, the King of Ids Id's all we have, I've been down And I could wait to hear the words They're diamond-sharp today Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
