I'd buy house and rail
And go straight to jail
I'd slay horse and king
I'd do anything you want
Whatever else may come and go I can take it
But there is one thing that I know
I cannot find a way, I can't
Find a way to please you
Find a way to please you
Find a way to please you
You draw fingerprints
I play evergreens
You dance on a string
I try to upgrade my chance
But there is one thing I know and for certain
Whatever else may come and go
I cannot find a way, I can't
Find a way to please you
Find a way to please you
Find a way to please you
Who guesses, who knows?
Where from your wind
I can read my lips
With your fingertips
But I can't read your mind
FFWD RW
If you don't stop this tape
I'll spit wrath and grape
If you don't play my game
I'll go straight insane
Find a way to please you, roll the good times
With the bread and bu*ter, the spiders and flies
Where the fishes are jumping and cotton is light
In the evening I'm living, by the working I die
Find the way to please you fore the curtain falls
Over all of the prophets and the subway halls
With a secret entrance or a hidden door
I fly out as a raven just to come back NEVERMORE
