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 that 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 the b***er, the spiders and flies
where the fishers are jumping and the 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
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 that 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?
