lyrics

I wanna dance, i wanna dance with you out on this hall
I'd sure love to babe but there's nails in the boards.
I'm sick of the romance, it's terrible flaws.
But the boys in the jungle keep trekking till dawn.

I wanna cry, I wanna cry, I wanna cry myself red.
If i could see what you said when you said what you meant.
I wanna change, wanna change, change to something new
Wanna wake-up with someone like you.

Gotta light, wanna light, wanna light up this life.
Then climb straight back down into the fire.
Wanna kill, wanna slay, till I'm top of the pile.
Wanna be the man with whom you'll spend the rest of your life.

i want to dye, i want to die, i want to dye myself red.
If i see what you said when you said what you meant.
Wanna change, wanna change. Change to somebody new.
Wanna wake up to someone like you

What happens when the person you love don't love the person you do?
