Lyrics
Everything is grey I can't read between your lines
You turn to me and say Everything will work out fine
But do we really know, do we really know anything?
Ah do we really know , do we really know anything?
Ah do we really know, do we know, do we really know, do we know
do we really know anything?
Anytime you want me baby feel free to call
My hands are tied and my back is against the wall
The time is getting nearer these eyes have gotten old
The path is so much clearer its almost time to go
He wants control and yet he sold his soul
He cant let go yet fear has turned him into stone
But don't we really want, don't we really want everything?
Ah don't we really want, don't we really want everything?
Ah don't we really want, don't we want, don't we really want, don't we want,
don't we really want everything?
I sweat passion baby you sweat greed
We've got the same reaction but we've both got different needs
And as your life unfolds and changes crowd your mind
You find your skin is cold an it's tougher to be kind
Hey there I am only your lover transparent for no other
Maybe I'm your demon in disguise, oh in disguise
But beware I'm undercover of the left wing like my mother
This could be dangerous for you, oh dangerous for you
But don't we really want, don't we really want everything?
Ah don't we really want, don't we really want everything?
Don't we really want, don't we want, don't we really want, don't we want
Don't we really want everything?
Don't ya really want everything.
