The Desired Effect 歌词

She was raised a protestant I was raised by wolves Both of us sought dignity in vain Stretchin’ out in paradise It wasn’t in the cards See neither of us were ready for the rain Guess I was caught off guard when I heard the news last week Ran into a friend of mine with the word on the street That the life that you chose to lead had the desired effect That you hit the ground running the day that you left That you’re playing for every side That you’re going for every kill But I don’t believe it and I never will, never will Maybe it’s all dogs and bones Chasing every tail And howling at the injustice of the night And if I misjudged you well honey that’s on me But I really do hope you found a way to get what you need And the life that you chose to lead had the desired effect That you hit the ground running the day that you left That you’re playing for every side That you’re going for every kill Well I don’t believe it I never will Are you wondering where it all goes? Are you living the way you should? Are you taking the time to listen? Is it doing you any good? Are you wrestling with the demons? Are you moving the party forward in your time?..take your time any old time Are you looking to change the world? Or have you already changed your mind? Are you keeping the ten commandments? Or are you leaving them all behind? Are you practicing your pirouettes? Or are you going in blind this time? Did the life that you chose to lead have the desired effect? Did you hit the ground running the day that you left? Are you’re playing for every side? Are you’re going for every kill? Well I don’t believe it …I never will The desired effect
