Album: Catch for Us The Foxes

If you fail to see a problem,
(Which I find hard to believe)
Or if you're hanging on to branches
Licking honey from the leaves you say
"The hopelessness of living, and the childishness of suicide."
But there's a call to love my brother
That can never be destroyed
However much you talk,
However well you talk,
You make a certain sense,
It's still only stupid talk.
However much I strut around,
However loud I sing the shining one inside me won't say anything

Oh, to want one thing!
Oh, to want one thing!
Oh, purity of heart!
Oh, to want one thing!
Oh, to want one thing!

You'll remind me how I said you were
A quiet bed in all my noise to rest
Well I was charming you at best
And you remember, dear, when I said how
"My coming here was like a terrible fall!"
As we crept like thieves along your bedroom hall
I'd come down and touch your eyelids,
But if you stay up too late I'll throw you back into the cupboard
With all the chipped and dirty plates!
Like the carnival game with the bottleneck and rubber ring,
Even if you win, even then you don't win.

All I want is to want one thing.
All I want is to want one thing.
All I want is to want one thing.
All I want is to want one thing.
