Desire - OPM

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

Seems to be self-defeating

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
