Lyrics

Out in the garden
There's half of a heaven
And we're only bluffing
We're not ones for busting through walls

But they've told us
Unless we can prove
That we're doing it
We can't have it all
(I want it all) *

He's gonna wangle
A way to get out of it
She's an excuse
And a witness who'll talk when he's called

But they've told us
Unless we can prove
That we're doing it
We can't have it all
(I want it all) *
(I want it all) *
We can't have it all
(I want it all) *

"I caught a glimpse of a god, all shining and bright."

Suddenly my feet are feet of mud
It all goes slo-mo
I don't know why I'm crying
Am I suspended in gaffa?
Not 'til I'm ready for you, *
Not 'til I'm ready for you hoo hoo-oo-oo *
Can I have it all

I try to get nearer
But as it gets clearer
There's something appears in the way
It's a plank in me eye
With a camel
Who's trying to get through it
Am I doing it?
Can I have it all now?
(I want it all) *

I pull out the plank and say
"Thank ye for yanking me back *
To the fact that there's
Always something to distract."

But sometimes it's hard
To know if I'm doing it right
Can I have it all now? *
(I want it all) *

Can I have it all now?
(I want it all) *
Can I have it all?
(I want it all) *
I can't have it all. *

"We all have a dream...maybe."

Suddenly my feet are feet of mud
It all goes slo-mo
I don't know why I'm crying
Am I suspended in gaffa?
Not 'til I'm ready for you
Not 'til I'm ready for you hoo hoo-oo-oo
Can I have it all

I won't open boxes
That I am told not to
I'm not a pandora
I'm much more a like a *

That girl in the mirror
Between you and me
She don't stand a chance of getting anywhere at all
(I want it all) *
Not anywhere at all
(I want it all)) *
No, not a thing
(I want it all) *
She can't have it all

"Mother, where are the angels? I'm scared of the changes."

Suddenly my feet are feet of mud
It all goes slo-mo
I don't know why I'm crying
Am I suspended in gaffa?
Not 'til I'm ready for you, *
Not 'til I'm ready for you *
Suddenly my feet are feet of mud
It all goes slo-mo
I don't know why I'm crying
Am I suspended in gaffa?
Not 'til I'm ready for you, *
Not 'til I'm ready for you hoo hoo-oo-oo *
Can I have it all now? *
