Whenever You Get What You Want Lyrics

I try not to pay much attention

To what other people all say

Whenever you get what you want

With a trick you just give it away

All that you see is a number

Nearer or farther from to one

The longer I take to compare them

The more that I feel like I’m dumb

As the gleam in the eye of a blindfolded child

Who gets paid by the inch while she looks like five miles

That I’d walk through with no shoes

Across property lines til the end of time

Do I look like I do what I’m supposed to do

I’m the ghost of a dude in business suit

On a hook in the dark at the end of a line

That I broke from a ghoul in a high priced room

With a baseball bat and a mop and a broom

In a boat on a lake in the light of the moon

I try not to pay much attention

To what other people all say

Whenever you get what you want

With a trick you just give it away

Whenever you get what you want

With a trick you just give it away
