lyrics

i know just what you are
it's not a bowl of ice-cream
it's not a conflict diamond
or a double scoop of saline
i know just what you want
it's what we all desire
it's not a foxy lover
or the call of higher powers
i smash my crystal ball
i burn my tarot cards
cause i can't hit the notes i use to
pyramids of money
silhouetting in your dreams
pyramids of money
that you'll probably never see
it's true
i don't need no PHD
to show me that my flaws run deep
we'll burn our merit badges at night
i don't need no EMT
to show me how my heart should beat
we'll earn our merit badges at night
i know just what you are
it's not a burmese pony
it's not a dying death-wish
or a child that raised by kony
i know just what you want
it's what we all desire
it's not a call for peace
or knocking down the ivory towers
i smash my crystal ball
i burn my tarot cards
cause i can't hit the notes i use to
i can't hit the notes i want to
pyramids of money
silhouetting in your dreams
pyramids of money
pirouetting in your dreams
pyramids of money
that you'll probably never see
it's true
i know just what you are
it's not a bowl of ice-cream
it's not a conflict diamond
or a double scoop of saline
i know just what you want
it's what we all desire
it's not a foxy lover
or the call of higher powers
i smash my crystal ball
i burn my tarot cards
i know just what you are
it's not a burmese pony
it's not a dying death-wish
or a child that raised by kony
i know just what you want
it's what we all desire
it's not a call for peace
or knocking down the ivory towers
i smash my crystal ball
i burn my tarot cards
i know just what you are
i know just what you are
i know just what you are
i know just what you are
