Lyrics

Can you treat it like an oil well
When it's underground, out of sight?
And if the sight 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, favors down
I'll watch some yards 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 you try
Make you try [3x]

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 can open it up and it's up and down

It's what I want (it's what I want)
To 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 dry
Makes you dry [3x]

I've been down, the king of it, it is all we have
I've been down and I could wait to hear the words
They're diamond sharp today
