slave to your desire - you'll buy anything
curse & criticize
middle-aged & at your door
& they're selling you the son of God

it's so hard to ignore
you want so much
& then you want some more
somehow your appetite grows
you'd just love what you can't possess
you know it's out there
somewhere

read & memorize
make a wish come true
& you can telephone free
eyes & ears & mouth & nose
in a face that you compose
but it cuts you like never before

it's so hard to ignore
you want so much
& then you want some more
somehow your appetite grows
you'd just love what you can't possess
you know it's out there
somewhere

it's so hard to ignore
you'd really love so much
& then you'd go & spoil yourself with more
strange how your appetite's grown
till you're just lying in a corner upstairs
looking out there
somewhere
