JUST WHAT THE SUCKER WANTED

I'm running through the city
With my fingers in my ears
Her heart is beating
Behind the steering wheel

The things I say, I only half believe
They are so entangled with the things I need
Coming up from my toes, coming up from below
I feel I know you, though we've never met before

(Keeping the outside out)
Youre holding the inside in
(Keeping the outside out)
Youre always asking why
(Keeping the outside out)
Holding the inside in
(yoiur feet never touch the street)

And if it is not enough to feel
And if I am stranded out of rhyme
And if it is not enough to feel
And if I am stranded out of reason

Oh, I'm running through the city
To slow to know you
Your heart is beating behind the controls
(The glass is bending how we look, and how we see)
You talk I'm a predator, a hungry sucking vampire
when I'm asking when, you’re always asking why

(Keeping the outside out)
You’re holding the inside in
(Keeping the outside out)
You’re always asking why
(Keeping the outside out)
Holding the inside in
(Your feet never touch the street)

And if it is not enough to feel
And if I am stranded out of rhyme
And if it is not enough to feel
And if I am stranded out of reason

Time passes slowly
When winter comes, the winter run
Winter, winter, winter
Yeah, you end up giving, giving in the end
giving just what the sucker wanted

And if it is not enough to feel
And if I am stranded out of rhyme
And if it is not enough to feel
And if I am stranded out of reason
