Lyrics

G5 w/riffs 1&2
What I want
I want now

           F5             C7
And it's a whole lot more

            G5 w/riffs 1&2
Than anyhow

G5 w/riffs 1&2
I want to fly
Fly a fountain

          F5              C7
I want to jump, jump, jump

               G5 w/riffs 1&2
Jump a mountain

D w/riff 3
I understand all -- I see no
Destructive urges -- I see no
It seems so perfect -- I see no

G5 w/riff 3
I see,

G5 w/riff 3  G5 w/riff 3
I see no

C    (hook to verse)
EVIL!

I get ideas
I get a notion
I want a nice little boat
Made out of ocean
I get your point
You're so sharp
Getting good reactions
With your bebo talk

I understand all -- I see no
Destructive urges -- I see no
It seems so perfect -- I see no
I see, I see no EVIL

Solo

Don't say unconscious
No, don't say doom
If you gotta say it
Let me leave this move
Cuz what I want
I want now
And it's a whole lot more
Than anyhow, get it

I understand all -- I see no
Destructive urges -- I see no
It seems so perfect -- I see no
I see, I see no EVIL

I'm running wild with the one I love
 -- I see no evil
I'm running wild with the one-eyed ones
 -- I see no evil
I'm running wild with the one I love
 -- I see no evil
Pull down the future with the one you love
 -- I see no evil
Pull down the future with the one you love
 -- I see no evil
