lyrics

i wish that i never met you
i just want to undress you
you put your finger to my tongue
then said that i am not the one
you left me in our dearest time
you shined a light upon my love
then pulled all the electric plugs
only stay with me if i do enough drugs
she said she's into dealers
and that she wants me to deal
i said that's not me
and that i should be
now you walk me down through all the stairs
there was something strange filling up all the air
a puff of death black smoke
whatever it takes to depress your old folks
well it's over now
because of a mistake i made somehow
it'd be worth all of my while
to turn back the hands on your sundial
she said she's into dealers
and that she wants me to deal
i said that's not me
and then she said that it should be
i want you
i want you
i want you
i want you

there's no way to love politely
there's no way to love quietly
there's no way to love silently
