In The Mouth Of The Desert

by Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds

can you treat it like an oil well
when it's underground, out of sight?
and if the sight is just a whore sign
can it make enough sense to me?
pretend the table is a trust knot
we'll put our labels down, favors down
i'll watch some yards of twine unravel
and you'll never get it back
it's what i want (it's what i want)
it's what i want (twine comes down)
it's what i want (it's what i want)
don't you know, i could make you try
make you try [3x]
i've been crowned the king of it, and it is all we have
so wait to hear my words and they're diamond sharp
i can open it up and it's up and down
it's what i want (it's what i want)
to see you beg like a little dog (ball of twine)
don't you know that it's what i want (it's what i want)
i'll see you beg and it makes you dry
makes you dry [3x]
i've been down, the king of it, it is all we have
i've been down and i could wait to hear the words
they're diamond sharp today
