Want
Unfun LP/CD, Demo #2

Been staring for a hundred hours.
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.

Dark secrets burn their vessel.
Tearing out to grab a mouthful.
Chunk of heart destroyed by quiet.
Yell it out before it kills you now.
Let it all out.

Used to let rumors do my work.
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.

Dark secrets burn their vessel.
Tearing out to grab a mouthful.
Chunk of heart destroyed by quiet.
Yell it out before it kills you now.
Let it all out.

I want you.
(4x)

So now you know where I come from.
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

I want you.
(4x)

I want you.
(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.
