I Want You
I want you like thunder in the treeson the switchblade of my bluegrass melodyI'm a big sky, I'm a helicopter flying byover jungles, and Amazons who bend to tietake positions, I've known them hard enough to clarifyfor munitions and their sliding scopes and seeing eyeson a white hill the scented soldiers come and goto the wind-whipped language on the radioI'm a dark cloud, I'm circling on your soul tonightand I need you baby, I'm going crazy in my cell tonightTake your positions; baby, I've loved you hard enough to satisfyfor munitions and slaves and our sliding scopes and seeing eyesit's a theatre of war, my lover, and every player drops his lineI'm the break horse and I'm stepping to the bar in timeYou can't leave me behindI've loved you hard enough to satisfyout of sight is out of mindfor sliding scopes and seeing eyesIt's a theatre of warit's a cold word a hundred blue beneath the seayou're the sunlight down here babyyou're the breeze to answer sailor's dreamsSongtextelying at anchor the world in all her feelings swaybent in penancea supplicant on judgement day(you can't leave me behind)Take your positions; baby, I've known them hard enough to clarify (out of sight is out of mind)for munitions and slaves and our sliding scopes and seeing eyes (it's a theatre of war)It's a cold war, my baby, and every player drops his line(I'm the break horse)I'm the break horse and I'm stomping down the funky lineAnd I want you like thunder in the treesAnd I want you, down on my bent knees Aus Songtexte Mania
