In the Mouth a Desert (Live 1992) lyrics

Can you treat it like an oil well
When it's underground, out of sight?
And if the site is just a whore-sign
Well, it makes enough sense to me

Pretend the table is a trust-knot
We'll put our labels down, favors down
I'll watch a yarn of twine unravel
And you'll never get it back

It's what I want (It's what I want)
It's what I want (Twine comes down)
It's what I want
It's what I want (It's what I want)
Don't you know
I could make a try
Make a try
Make a try
Make a try

Well, I've been down the King of Id
Saw him up in town
And I could wait
To hear my words
And they're diamond-sharp
I could open it up
And it's up and down
Ooh-ooh-oh, ooh-ooh-oh
Ooh-ooh-oh, ooh-ooh-oh
Ooh-ooh-oh, ooh-ooh-oh
Ooh-ooh-oh

It's what I want (It's what I want)
It's what I want (Twine comes down)
It's what I want
It's what I want (It's what I want)
Don't you know
I could make a try
Make a try
Make a try
Make a try

Well, I've been down
Well, I've been down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down
Down

Ooh-ooh-oh, ooh-ooh-oh
Ooh-ooh-oh, ooh-ooh-oh
Ooh-ooh-oh, ooh-ooh-oh
Ooh-ooh-oh

Thank you very much
Thanks a lot
