Lyrics: Scott Kannberg/Stephen Malkmus
Music: Scott Kannberg/Stephen Malkmus
Can you treat it like an oil well
When it's underground, out of sight
And if the site is just a whore-sign
Can it make enough sense to me
Pretend the table is a trust-knot
We'll put our labels down, faith is down
I'll watch a yarn of twine unravel
And you'll never get it back
It's what I want (it's what I want)
It's what I want (Twine comes down)
It's what I want(It's what I want)
Don't you know
I could make a try
Make a try
Make a try
Make a try
I've been crowned the King of It
And it is all we have, so wait
To hear my words
And they're diamond-sharp
I could open it up
And it's up and down
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
It's what I want(it's what I want)
I'll see you beg like a little dog (ball of twine)
Don't you know that it's what I want? (it's what I want)
I'll see you beg and it makes you try
Make me try
Make me try
Make me try
I've been down, the King of It
It's all we have, I've been down
And I could wait
To hear those words
They're diamond-sharp today
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
