Songtext I want you William Topley

I want you

I want you like thunder in the trees
on the switchblade of my bluegrass melody
I'm a big sky, I'm a helicopter flying by
over jungles, and Amazons who bend to tie

take positions, I've known them hard enough to clarify
for munitions and their sliding scopes and seeing eyes

on a white hill the scented soldiers come and go
to the wind-whipped language on the radio
I'm a dark cloud, I'm circling on your soul tonight
and I need you baby, I'm going crazy in my cell tonight

Take your positions; baby, I've loved you hard enough to satisfy
for munitions and slaves and our sliding scopes and seeing eyes
it's a theatre of war, my lover, and every player drops his line
I'm the break horse and I'm stepping to the bar in time

You can't leave me behind
I've loved you hard enough to satisfy
out of sight is out of mind
for sliding scopes and seeing eyes
It's a theatre of warit's a cold word a hundred blue beneath the sea
you're the sunlight down here baby
you're the breeze to answer sailor's dreams
lying at anchor the world in all her feelings sway
bent in penance
a supplicant on judgement day

(you can't leave me behind)
Take your positions; baby, I've known them hard enough to clarify
(out of sight is out of mind)
for munitions and slaves and our sliding scopes and seeing eyes
(it's a theatre of war)
It's a cold war, my baby, and every player drops his line
(I'm the break horse)
I'm the break horse and I'm stomping down the funky line

And I want you like thunder in the trees
And I want you, down on my bent knees
