Desert Love 04:02
ou searched for me in the desert and You made it rain i praised the Lord for the weather. You didn’t complain Shower me with praise and glory i drink it up like chocolate milk, I wear Tattered robes and cheap jewelry And you tell me they’re silk She could do better But why would I let her? I came to you with my problems You fixed them all in a day Kept me from harm like a firewall Or just let me get my way? Cause you know I get uptight, I get uptight You can’t do anything right It's always the same You're always to blame You never complain She could do better But why would I let her? Time is a vine that has to be climbed in all weather. She may not truly be mine but I’m still feeling fine so why the fuck would I let her. Why would I let her. Let her know? That I I I I I I cant do better, And I I I I I I will never tell her, Oh yeah I I I I I I I cant do better, So why would I?

It's not alright that you want to break me, It's not OK to say you hate me, I just can't stand how you are still the one who ruins my fun my none trick pony. Its not OK that you want to bring me, Down to my knees with words that sting me, I'm just not strong enough to call you out, consumed with doubt, My none trick pony. You left me down and out with ease, Why must you bring me to my knees? Everybody falls, Everybody falls into your arms, Everybody falls, Everybody falls, Everybody falls but me. There was a time when I was lonely And couldn’t bear to be the only Boy dancing in the club, you fucked me up, from dom to sub, how you owned me. And now I’m born again, like Jesus The groove just spilling from my genus Something you can’t control is all my thoughts, my heart and soul, you great big phoney. You say it's time for me to go, But I wont make space for your ho. Everybody falls, Everybody falls into your arms, Everybody falls, Everybody falls, Everybody falls but me. Everybody falls into your arms, Everybody falls but me.

Night! It's not far away, Light! What the heavens say, Tight! All your friendships today. Make! Yourself a new home, Bake! Bread that feeds the soul, Fake! That's no longer your role. Fulfill your... Pseudopotential x3 Walk! Down my avenue, Block! Love that's overdue, Mock! All them how do you dos. Shake! Off the social fold, Caked! In ex lovers' mould, Break! Every promise untold. Fulfill your... Pseudopotential x3 Pseudopotential x2

There's a stranger in my head, He doesn't know the kind of coffee I drink, There's a stranger in my head, He doesn't want to know the thoughts I want to think. But now I have to go and do the things we did together, Now I have to go and do the things we did alone, all alone. There's a stranger in my bed, And I don't know if he's alive or he's dead, There's a stranger in my bed, I wouldn't know, he's been asleep for years, But now I have to go and do the things we did together, Now I have to go and do the things we did alone, You can't resuscitate a life refusing it's alive, You can't get in the water if you don't learn how to dive, Into that pool of happiness, where all the sweet girls roam, Into that pool of happiness, But it's gone, it's gone, gone gone, gone. That pool of happiness well, It's gone, it's gone, gone, gone, gone. That pool of happiness well it's gone, It's gone, it's gone gone, gone. That pool of happiness well it's gone, That pool of happiness well it's gone, It's gone, it's gone gone, gone. That pool of happiness well it's gone, It's gone, it's gone gone, gone. That pool of happiness well it's gone, It's gone, it's gone gone, gone. That pool of happiness yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, That pool of happiness, It's gone, gone, gone.
