lyrics

i'm all i wanna be, content that i'm not free
i'd just love to hear you knocking at my door this summer eve
there's nothing i can do, for nothing can be done
while everything is happening; this machine always hums

the figments of desire i'd mummefied & packed
i left you crying in your bed to toss those curtains back
but much to my chagrin, state that i was in,
the undead wouldn't give me play, nor even let me wrap 'em back up again

so i went on the prowl to find a new gal pal
i glimpsed her freak flag flyin', i took aim and took her down
i was happy for a week, intermittently
then she flew home to vegas, and all she left me was an s.t.d.

so i took a trip out east, where the food and flesh are cheap
i thought about you often, told myself it was the heat
me and the lady from montreal had a great night in hong kong
but my mind was so incessant, it's just like i wasn't there at all

came home and met the santa ana girl, i was almost woman enough for her
but we drank so much alcohol, it's all sort of a blur
i'm sure it made sense at the time, whatever went on in my mind
but i can't help wishing i could take back everything i said and re-make you mine

still i'm all i wanna be, content that i'm not free
i'd just love to hear you knocking at my door this summer eve
there's nothing i can do, for nothing can be done
while everything is happening; this machine always hums
