If you fail to see a problem, which I find hard to believe
Or if you're hangin' on from 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, the purity of heart)
Oh, to want one thing
Oh, to want one thing
And 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, my saying how my coming here was 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 the chipped and dirty plates
Like the carnival game with the bottleneck and rubber ring
For 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)
(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)
