Didn't I say to you not too recent It was never gonna stay It was never gonna stay here You're like the moon in a basket of wheat You rose out of the roses Right under my mouth A far away cry from this petty little town Shine back, we will notice Though you never owed us Some passionately painted creatures were meant To descend from the bleachers Without much more than a promise Well, you got it in your gut stinking I could taste it in your paint When you left and when you came Like a remarkable mellow feeling But that won't make it remarkable feeling Didn't I taste it, feel it and know In so many ways, so many ways The feel of your honey in the corner of my mouth Like a loop around the block Like a shadow in your notebook Oh c'mon what's based in rhyme doesn't matter Now we pause the tape for some laughter I won't accept the conceit any further I will return it to you in a fervor Oh Hey hey Hey hey Oh come on My sole cousin told me I was featured in a play I was meant to take the stage, I turned to him okay And in it we drove all night and you smiled so much You got creases on your face, the kind that give you grace And I try to keep cool regardless of what I know to be true, I know to be true You got good timing and you listen blindly You're a street fighter, no prize fighter, well Desire, desire It was never gonna stay (Never gonna stay) It was never gonna stay (Never gonna stay) Desire, desire It was never gonna stay (Never gonna stay) It was never gonna stay (Never gonna stay) Well, fictions are frightening Like statues in lightning And I wore my boot sole And you gave it a new hole Well Desire, desire It was never gonna stay (Never gonna stay) It was never gonna stay (Never gonna stay) Desire, desire It was never gonna stay (Never gonna stay) It was never gonna stay (Never gonna stay) Woah oh oh oh oh (Never gonna stay) (Never gonna stay) Woah oh oh oh oh (Never gonna stay) (Never gonna stay) Hmmm Hmmm (Never gonna stay) Hmmm (Never gonna stay) Hmmm Hmm Woah oh oh oh oh Woah oh oh oh oh
