[rev. Oct. 30, 2010]
The oceans are drying
The children stop crying
We're trying, we're dying to leave this
Island to you
No recovery
Each day's a terrible discovery
Under the wound they cover me
Is this true
What do you want me to want
Something that means something
What do you want me to want
You don't have a clue, do you
The cities are stinking
Now keep quiet I'm thinking
I'm linking this unthinking
Ritual to you
No recovery
And all these sins don't bother me
Under the skin another me
Which is you
What do you want me to want
Something that means something
What do you want me to want
You don't have a clue, do you
A cry from Venus
I know she's above and between us
She's been with us, seen with us
Dreamed of us, too
No recovery
I wish this earth could mother me
I hope these skies don't smother me
Just like you do
What do you want me to want
Something that means something
What do you want me to want
You don't have a clue, do you
