All I Really Want
[FRANKIE]
Do I stress you out?
[MJ]
Yes
[FRANKIE]
My sweater is on backwards and inside out
And you say, how appropriate
[NICK]
She didn't mention your sweater
[MJ]
I don't like to dissect everything today
I don't mean to pick you apart you see
But I can't help it
[STEVE]
You said you were going to try
[FRANKIE]
And there I go jumping before the gunshot has gone off
Slap me with a splintered ruler
And it would knock me to the floor if I wasn't there already
If only I could hunt the hunter
[MJ and Chorus]
And all I really want is some patience
A way to calm the angry voice
[FRANKIE and Chorus]
And all I really want is deliverance, ah
Do I wear you out?
[MJ]
You must wonder why I'm relentless and all strung out
I'm consumed by the chill of solitary
[FRANKIE and Chorus]
I'm like Estella
I like to reel it in and then spit it out
I'm frustrated by your apathy
[FRANKIE]
And I am frightened by the corrupted ways of this land
If only I could meet the maker
And I am fascinated by the spiritual woman
I am humbled by her humble nature, yeah
And what I wouldn't give to find a soul mate?
Someone else to catch this drift
And what I wouldn't give to meet a kindred? Ah
Enough about me, let's talk about you for a minute
[MJ]
Enough about you, let's talk about life for a while
[FRANKIE]
The conflicts
[MJ]
The craziness
[BOTH and Chorus]
And the sound of pretenses is falling
All around, all around
[FRANKIE]
Why are you so petrified of silence?
Here can you handle this?
Did you think about your bills, your pills, your deadlines
Or when you think you're going to die?
Or did you long for the next distraction?
And all I need now is intellectual intercourse
A soul to dig the hole much deeper
[STEVE]
And I have no concept of time other than it is flying
[Chorus]
If only I could kill the killer
[NICK]
And all I really want is some peace man
A place to find some common ground
[FRANKIE]
And all I really want is a wavelength, ah
[MJ]
And all I really want is some comfort
A way to get my hands untied
[FRANKIE]
And all I really want is some justice, ah
[MJ]
It's all I really want, some patience
A way to calm me down
[FRANKIE]
And all I really want is deliverance
A way to find some common ground
