Album: A Fever Dream (2017)

  • I want this planet and I want it now
    To beat like an anvil 'til the poison's out
    I am a pencil-pusher with the pencil-pusher blues
    What the hell do I have left to lose?

    And I can't stop now
    (Can you do the things you dream about?)
    I don't know how
    (Do you wish to see fire in the clouds?)
    It's too late!

    Desire, desire, desire
    I can't stop now
    Desire, desire, desire

    I want disaster I don't want to sleep
    It fills my vision, I can hardly speak
    I'm just a knuckle-dragger with a knuckle-dragger grin
    You took my mind and left a hollow twin

    But I'm almost there
    (They have different colours of blood)
    I don't think so
    (They have power like you never could)
    It's too late!

    Desire, desire, desire
    I can't stop now
    Desire, desire, desire

    Can I tell you that I'm empty?
    This is all that I see clearly
    Can I tell you that I'm empty?
    This is all that I see clearly

    Desire, desire, desire
    I can't stop now
    Desire, desire, desire
    I said it's too late!
    Desire, desire, desire
    I don't know how
    Desire, desire, desire

    Just let, just let me go
    Just let, let me go
    Can I tell you that I'm empty?
    This is all that I see clear Writer/s: Alex Robertshaw, Jeremy Pritchard, Jonathan Higgs, Michael Spearman
