Ruthless Flower of Desire
When you want the gun, I am the hand
and when you want money, I am emotion
When you want to rest, I am desire
and when I'm all desire, you don't want
and when you want nothing, I give you all
when you fly up high, I am the ground
and when step on the ground, my soul jumps and frees itself in the vastness...
When you want family, I am derranged
and when you want romatic, bourgeois
when you want the suburb, I am downtown
and when you want eunuch, the stud.
When you want yes or no, maybe
and when you see, I am blind reason
when you want the insane, I am the brother
and when you want cowboy, I am chinese
Oh ruthless flower of desire, ruthless flower, ruthless wanting.
Poised lust (4)
gives place to poised hurt (8)
the church (3)
brings distinction (2)
beauty stab (9)
fear (6)
and your hand I wish to hold (5)
take me to your dreams (11)
the soil (1)
and God (7)
your face (10) stands still
and your embrace (12) saves me
These are the 12 states of the mind
all with the capacity to change your smile!
When you want the act, I am the spirit
and when you want tenderness, I am a hard on
when you want free ryme, decassylable
and when you want the angel, I am the woman
when you want pleasure, I am what hurts
and when you want torture, gentleness
when you wnat a home, revolution
and when you want the outlaw, I am the hero
I wanted to want you, to love love
to build the most naked prison
to find the most coherent harmony
all just metric, and ryme, and never pain
but life is real, and sideways
just see the ambush, love set me
I want you, but you don't want me how I am
I don't want you, and you don't want the way you are!
Oh ruthless flower of desire, ruthless flower, ruthless wanting
Even if the blood of a lamb
and the light of a lamp
tell me, you got to surrender your part
still I say, a man must follow his heart
if love killed Abel, and love killed Cain
"to be or not to be" said the great Dane
still I claim, love is no boundary
love pulls my train
and love has my brain!
And when I seal the blue
and the wind shouts true
I see all those angels
and I swear I see you!
When you want the rally, I am the mass
and when you want romance, rock and roll
when you want the moon, I am the sun
and when nature nurtures, extermination
When you want the riddle, I am the slogan
and when you want a corner, the whole world
When you want lent, I am Mardi Gras
and when you want the palm tree, I am the Missile!
Your wanting, and constant readiness
for what in me create sthe unequal
makes me wish you well, wish you evil
well to you, evil for you wanting me this way
my infinite personal hammer
And myself, wanting to eant without end
wanting to learn you, the whole
not wanting what's in you, and not in me.
