You Can't Want What You Always Get...

Give it a bit of hard on the rudder

hot on the heels of foot to the floor;

setting your mind on one thing or the other,

do you still find you're

always wanting something more?

Yes, and the thing you want forever

is always the thing you can never have -

I want doesn't get.

Try out the line of 'This is original';

spin out the story: 'This is brand new';

give a bit of 'I never felt like this before';

cut to the chase: 'I only want you'.

And the one you want forever

will always be the one you can never have....

(Here's a message from the future I want

you don't have time to forget.... doesn't get

Here's a message from the darkside: I want

better live with your regrets.) Doesn't get

And the thing you want 's forever -

it's always, the thing you can never have....

I want doesn't get.

Who was it told you you were the gifted one?

Who was it said that yours is the lucky star?

Somehow you're always looking to shed your next skin,

always too busy to be who and what you are,

still the one you chase forever

turns into the one you can never have.

(Here's a message for your present I want

and there isn't any catch: doesn't get

better live the life you're living, I want

no conditions are attached.) Doesn't get

You can't live a life as constant acquisition,

you're missing the present,

always looking to live in the future tense;

You build up your hopes for Corpus Non Delicti....

the crack of temples -

who're you going to sue for recompense

when the thing you want forever

will always be the thing you could have had?

(Here's a message from the future I want

that you'd better not forget..... just means I lack

Here's a message from the darkside but I don't want

better live with your regrets. to turn the clock back

Here's a message for the present I want

if you haven't got it yet: doesn't get

better live the life you're living.) I want

Doesn't get.
