Don'T You Need Lyrics

I had a dream late last night

 The water was running low

 And my fields were on fire, burning my sky

 My body was moving slow

 And when I awoke I tasted the sweat of desire in my mouth

 And I realized my heart had abducted my mind

 And they were last seen headed south

 Now I can't sleep I'm so wired

 And I find myself screaming out

 

 Don't you need don't you want

 Can't you taste it when you're alone

 Don't you cry don't you feel

 Sometimes I wonder if you are real

 Don't you bleed

 Don't you need

 

 There's no quenching the thirst there's no relief

 For the hungry at heart

 And as far as you're concerned I'm just a thief

 Entertaining in the dark

 But it's you that holds the cards

 Now that the joker is wild

 

 Don't you want to lay it down

 And feel your skin against the ground

 Don't you want to ride the storm

 And then sleep inside the calm

 Don't you want to get that high

 Don't you want to be satisfied

 Well if you don't want it from me

 Don't you need

 

 I had a dream late last night

 The water was running low

 And my fields were on fire burning my sky

 How was I to know

 That I burn every night in my dreams

 And only morning can set me free

 

 Don't you need don't you want

 Can't you taste it when you're alone

 Don't you cry don't you feel

 Sometimes I wonder if you are real

 Don't you bleed

 Don't you need
