Creatures of Need Lyrics – The Cardboard City
Singer: The Cardboard City
Title: Creatures of Need
It was an orange light
There was a quiet look
There was a web of anticipation
We were the first and second
There had been one before
The floor was laid with an open secret
Just an inch apart
Breathing synchronized
Skin impressed with anticipation
It was a quarter past
A broken spoken wish
Discarded clothing laying open secrets
The cable was not knit
The letter was not writ
All of the pieces fit
But nothing spoke to us
Nothing warned
We were alive
But merely for a moment
Creatures of need
Creatures of want
Putting up a fight
Putting up a front
Drawing a line
In the sand
Hanging your hat
On a nail in your head
I had a parched intent
You had a turtle’s heart
We had a treasure buried down by the river
There was a route to take
There was some gasoline
You found a finger underneath your pillow
The cable was not knit
The letter was not writ
All of the pieces fit
But nothing spoke to us
Nothing warned
We were alive
But merely for a moment
I left on a boat
For the shores of iran
I left you a stamp
And an unfinished plan
Something was missing
Something was wrong
I got here too late
I’ve been here too long
The teacher left his notes
The plane arrived on time
We spent a nameless day down by the river
They were some friends of yours
They were no friends of mine
That was the last time anybody saw me
The cable was not knit
The letter was not writ
All of the pieces fit
But nothing spoke to us
Nothing warned
We were alive
But merely for a moment
I felt something simple
I felt something strong
It broke into pieces
‘Cause I did something wrong
Again and again
I trampled it down
I left it for dead
It fell through the ground
Creatures of need
Creatures of want
Putting up a fight
Putting up a front
Drawing a line
In the sand
Hanging your hat
On a nail in your head
Don’t waste your time
Don’t waste your breath
Dancing with me
Is dancing with death
Kiss me goodbye
Kiss me hello
I’ll be in bed
With the devil you know
