From the recording Siren
Lyrics
“I need pleasure…”
You give your love and hope that it will fit
Masquerading in the thick of it
Sat in the back seat of your life you’ve been, while
Somebody else’ been asleep at the wheel, driving
Unresolved issues hidden from view
Dressed up again to fool someone new
All played out repeating things you do
Once again you find the fool is you
You’re hooked on
Pleasure from negative highs
Passion with pleasure ignored
Pleasure
Negative pleasures
I need pleasure
Different spaces, bodies, places, beds
You’re searching for somebody in your head
Who’s a such and such and so and so
A childhood figure you can’t let go (maybe)
Unresolved issues hidden from view
That your higher self keeps sending you
But your ego will obscure the clues
You’ve been runnin’ from yourself you fool
Pleasure…ooh give me pleasure…ad lib to fade
