Want

Midnight in a claustrophobic metropolitan flat

Wishing for a burst of nicotine

Midnight with nicotine oozing out of me

Wishing for a limousine.

Well I got everything I want

Well I got everything I need

When I have everything I want

Is when I start to bleed.

Midnight in my lover's arms

Longing for the days I was free

Forgetting all the tears I shed

Unwelcome escape from misery

Well I got everything I want

Well I got everything I need

When I have everything I want

Is when I start to bleed.

Happily, home-fed, lazy bum

Singing the home-sick blues

Overworked, malnourished, wage slave

Wishing for a home to go to

Well I got everything I want

Well I got everything I need

But no matter how much I get

It's never enough to still my greed.
