Lyrics

Deep they've designed you From cradle to pyre In the mortal attire Desire Desire It's so hard to find you The mist you've acquired Has you turned to a liar Desire (every 24 wretchin' with desire) Desire (every 24 wretchin' with desire) Desire (every 24 wretchin' with desire) Desire I see them driving into nothing, where the nothing is sure They drown their wishes in the fountain like their fathers before And in the park, the firefighters turned their bodies to glass Some people seem to take their time when they pass Deep they've designed you From cradle to pyre In the mortal attire Desire Desire It's high to be wanted But haunted is higher And the change require Desire Desire Desire Desire Desire (every 24 wretchin' with desire) Desire (all 24 wretchin' with desire) Desire (every 24 wretchin' with desire) Desire (all 24 wretchin' with desire) Desire (every 24 wretchin' with desire) Desire (all 24 wretchin' with desire) Desire (all 24 wretchin' with desire) Desire (all 24 wretchin' with desire)
