gets hard and harder, the piston strains to the mortar
that's when I'm in love I'm in love I'm in love
what I seek is rhythm
put that strain into my head Lord
Lord take me and make me reel,
take these fantasies and turn them into a reality
Lord I know it's a simple and a dumb wish
I know that I'm stupid, Lord, but grant me this:
if you can be kind Lord, I can be strong
if you can be kind Lord, I can be faithful
I can be patient, I can be loving, I can be strong
I can be evil, I can be wicked, I can be alone
I can be truthful, I can be a liar, I can be lost
I can be evil, I can be wicked, I can be one
so stand alone, stand alone
Lord take it from my gentle hands
what I want is music, what I want is living, what I want is this:
what I want is myself unto the borders and into the bliss
what I want is a record of all that has passed through these little hands
what I want is a record of all that I have loved
and all that I will
and I want a picture, a picture that I can kiss
my little sweetheart, my true and new one,
my one and only love
