lyrics

Hey kids, wolf's home
He drops into his easy chair
Stares up out blank
Then bids his family come and gather 'round his chair
Then clears his throat
No one knows quite what to expect
Says, "man's a God
When he dreams, and a beggar when he reflects"
My life of get and get
I've gotten more than most and yet
I didn't run
I didn't vanish when I was afraid
I never asked
How many out there, I only asked where are they?
My life of get and get
I've gotten more than most and yet
I got great touch
I learned to vanish when I was afraid
I don't know much
But I don't try not to try, I don't do what I hate
In my life of get and get
I've gotten more than most and yet
Throw the heart and target
The stereo has started
All the brokenhearted
All I want is
The dearly departed
All the hurts I started
Young and old poor-hearted
All I want is
All I've been afforded
My life, my love distorted
It's its own reward but all I want is you
All I want is you
All I want is you
All I want is you
