Why Can't I Have What I Want Any Time That I Want? Songtext
von Swans

When will time erase
This stupid smile from my face?
I still feel you in my veins
Pure and refined, while I raged

Questions are of no consequence
Humiliations are easily subsumed
In oblivion and indifference
With a love that is malignant and true

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
I am wrong in this skin, but that′s where my need for you begins
With your nails through my hands, on the hill that I tilled
On the cross that I built, crying for more, more, more


Give me more, give me more, I'm your supplicant, I′m your whore
I'm unconscious on the floor, but my hand is reaching for your door
There's a shadow of your taste, and the blood-rush in my gut
No, it′s never, never enough, why would I ever give you up?

Lost, lost, lost, now I want to pay the cost
I don′t care, just erase every memory, every trace
Let me run through the ruins, from the failure and regret
Just open up my mouth and pour your tongue into my head

Ah, gone, gone, gone, I am lost without your breath
Now my teeth are cracked and red, I am begging at the foot of your bed
Give me one more taste of death

Why can't I have what I want
Any time that I want?
Why can′t I have what I want
Any time that I want?
