| The song wants to repeat just now, | |
| It sings itself to show you how, | |
| It throws away its finest line | |
| Just to keep the feel and time. | |
| Just to keep | |
| The feel and time, | |
| It throws away now | |
| Its finest line. | |
| The word wants just to leave my tongue, | |
| To turn your face, and when that's dope | |
| I've got no use for what it proves, | |
| It only means the way you move. | |
| It only means | |
| The way you move, | |
| I've got no use now | |
| For what it proves. | |
| Close your eyes and shut my mouth, | |
| The day has worn its welcome out. | |
| It pats you down and cuffs your hands | |
| And makes its bed right where you stand… | |
| The prayer wants to believe in you | |
| And does in spite of all you do, | |
| It sings itself just like a song | |
| When hope is weak and pride is strong. | |
| When hope is weak | |
| And pride is strong, | |
| It sings itself now | |
| Just like a song. | |
| The thought wants nothing more than show | |
| How little now you really know. | |
| It burns then it turns cold and mean | |
| Taking any offer sight unseen... | |
| The song wants to repeat just now, | |
