All my life I've been searching for something Something never comes never leads to nothing Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close Closer to the prize at the end of the rope All night long I dream of the day When it comes around and it's taken away Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most Feel it come to life when I see your ghost Calm down don't you resist You've such a delicate wrist And if I give it a twist Something to hold when I lose my grip Will I find something in there To give me just what I need Another reason to bleed One by one hidden up my sleeve (one by one hidden up my sleeve) Don't let it go to waste, I love it but I hate the taste Weight keepin' me down Don't let it go to waste, I love it but I hate the taste Weight keepin' me down Will I find a believer Another one who believes Another one to deceive Over and over down on my knees If I get any closer And if you open up wide And if you let me inside On and on I've got nothing to hide (on and on I've got nothing to hide) Don't let it go to waste, I love it but I hate the taste Weight keepin' me down Don't let it go to waste, I love it but I hate the taste Weight keepin' me down All my life I've been searching for something Something never comes never leads to nothing Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close Closer to the prize at the end of the rope All night long I dream of the day When it comes around and it's taken away Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most Feel it come to life when I see your ghost Then I'm done done on to the next one Done done and I'm on to the next one Done done and I'm on to the next one Done done and I'm on to the next one Done done and I'm on to the next one Done done and I'm on to the next one Done done and I'm on to the next one Done I'm done and on to the next Done done on to the next one Done I'm done and on to the next one Done done on to the next one Done I'm done and on to the next Don't let it go to waste, I love it but I hate the taste Weight keepin' me down Don't let it go to waste, I love it but I hate the taste Weight keepin' me down Done done on to the next one And I'm done and on to the next
