Deep they've designed you
From cradle to pyre
In the mortal attire
Desire
Desire
It's so hard to find you
The mist you've acquired
Has you turned to a liar
Desire (Every 24 wretchin' with desire)
Desire (All 24 wretchin' with desire)
Desire (Every 24 wretchin' with desire)
Desire
I see them driving into nothing
where the nothing is sure
(All they want denied)
They drown their wishes
in the fountain like their fathers before
(All they want denied)
And in the park the firefighters turned their bodies to glass
(All they want denied)
Some people seem to take their time when they pass
Deep they've designed you
From cradle to pyre
In the mortal attire
Desire
Desire
It's high to be wanted
But haunted is higher
And the change requires
Desire
Desire
Desire
Desire
Desire (Every 24 wretchin' with desire)
Desire (All 24 wretchin' with desire)
Desire (Every 24 wretchin' with desire)
Desire (All 24 wretchin' with desire)
Desire (Every 24 wretchin' with desire)
Desire (All 24 wretchin' with desire)
Desire (Every 24 wretchin' with desire)
Desire (All 24 wretchin' with desire)
