Want
Unfun LP/CD, Demo #2
Been staring for a hundred hours.
Dark secrets burn their vessel.
Used to let rumors do my work.
Dark secrets burn their vessel.
I want you.
So now you know where I come from.
I want you.
I want you.
Run down a spiral drain.
Keep mouth clamped tight,
and it isn't right.
Three words keep running 'round my mind,
but my tongue is hard to find.
I need to let it go,
because I know.
Tearing out to grab a mouthful.
Chunk of heart destroyed by quiet.
Yell it out before it kills you now.
Let it all out.
They got around real well.
Now they only hurt.
It's a liar's quirk.
This time I gotta say it straight.
I mean to do some good.
I'm calling out your name
while the chance remains.
Tearing out to grab a mouthful.
Chunk of heart destroyed by quiet.
Yell it out before it kills you now.
Let it all out.
(4x)
My secret's come undone.
My heart revealed my cause.
I'm lying naked at your feet.
Don't crush the heart that beats.
Take me at my word.
It may sound absurd, but
(4x)
(8x)
Notes: In the demo version, Blake sings, "Been staring for a hundred years" instead of "Been staring for a hundred hours."
Some live versions from 1992 and 1993 contain a modified chorus
in which Blake sings, "What I want is what I want. I think I want you" twice in place
of "I want you" four times.
