i ask for water
i ask for sleep
batteries for my remote
telephone to speak
electricity in abundance
mirror shades
japanese food
midnight raid

i ask for silence
i ask for sex
give me a ray gun
tell me how to dress
call my mother
call the priest
tell them my lover
has turned a beast

(this situation is now
as old as anything my eyes
have seen in the darkened
space of this existence)

i ask for strength
a clear head
maybe a razor
to paint you red
i want a radar
i want a light
i want division
i want to fight

(this situation is now
as old as anything my eyes
have seen in the darkened
space of this existance

this situation is now
as old as anything my eyes
have seen in the darkened
space of this existance)

don't want magic
don't want a friend
don't want to listen
just let it end
