Lyrics

It caused a fire in New York
Where is my self control?
[Verse 2]
You gotta learn to be thankful
For the things that you have
Now bathe my idle soul with

Desire

Desire
[Verse 4]
Taken by force
Twist of fate
Well, what weighs more?
Down on your plate
[Verse 5]
A ton of love
A ton of hate
We're waiting for
A chance of
Chance of

A place to crawl with our own
We'll give our God away
[Verse 9]
Taken by force
Twist of fate
Well, what weighs more?
Down on your plate
[Verse 10]
A ton of love
A ton of hate
We're waiting for
A chance of
Chance of
