Tho' you're older now its just the same:
You can play this dandelion game.
When you're finished with your childlike prayers -
Well, you know you should wear it...
Tho' you're older now its just the same:
You can play this dandelion game.
When you're finished with your childlike prayers -
Well, you know you should wear it...
You can't always get what you want,
But if you try sometimes you might find
You'll get what you need.
All your love, baby, don't put around.
Love is one thing, baby,
You won't find on the ground.
Why do we live in this strange grey town?
They build it up and let it all fall down.
Feel like we're living in a battleground,
Everybody's jazzed.
Oh, Angie, don't you weep, all your kisses still taste sweet
I hate that sadness in your eyes
But Angie, Angie, ain't it time we said good-bye?
With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black.
With flowers and my love both never to come back.
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away -
Like a new born baby it just happens every day.
Living in a fantasy but it's way too far,
But this kind of loneliness is way too hard.
I've been wandering, feeling all alone,
I lost my direction and I lost my home...
You can turn off and on more times,
than a flashin' neon sign.
When you want you're bad,
but you can be so kind.
