I had a dream late last nightthe water was running low
And my fields were on fireburning my skymy body was moving slow
And when I awoke I tasted the sweat of desire in my mouth
And I realized my heart had abducted my mind
And they were last seen headed south
Now I can t sleepI m so wiredand I find myself screaming out

(CHORUS)
Don t you needdon t you wantcan t you taste it when you re alone
Don t you crydon t you feelsometimes I wonder if you are real
Don t you bleeddon t you need

There s no quenching the thirst there s no relief for the hungry at heart
And as far as you re concerned I m just a thief entertaining in the dark
But it s you that holds the cards now that the joker is wild

Don t you want to lay it down and feel your skin against the ground
Don t you want to ride the storm and then sleep inside the calm
Don t you want to get that highdon t you want to be satisfied
Well if you don t want it from medon t you need

I had a dream late last nightthe water was running low
And my fields were on fireburning my sky
How was I to know that I burn every night in my dreams
And only morning can set me free

(CHORUS)
