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
