I Wanna Know
Lyricist:Lou Reed
Under the intense scrutiny of Ligeia's eyes I have felt the full knowledge And force of their expression And yet been unable to possess it
And felt it leave me As so many other things have left The letter half-read The bottle half-drunk
Finding, finding in the commonest objects of the universe A circle of analogies of metaphors For that expression which has been willfully Withheld from me The access to the inner soul denied
I wanna know I wanna know I wanna know I wanna know
In consideration In consideration of the faculties and impulses Of the human soul Of the human soul
In consideration Of our arrogance, of our arrogance Our radical, primitive, irreducible arrogance of reason We have all overlooked the propensity
We saw no need for it, the paradoxical something Which we may call perverseness, perverseness Through its promptings we act without Comprehensible object Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
We act for the reason we should not We act for the reason we should not For certain minds this is absolutely Irresistible, irresistible
The conviction of the wrong or impolicy of an action Is often the unconquerable force, the unconquerable force It is a primitive impulse, it is a primitive impulse Primitive impulse
The overwhelming tendency The overwhelming tendency to do Wrong for the wrongs sake To do wrong for the wrongs sake
We persist in acts Because we feel that we Should not persist in them Because we feel we, feel we Should not persist, persist in them
So I wanna know I wanna know I wanna know I wanna know
I wanna, I wanna know I wanna, I wanna know
Persist in the action Persist in the action Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong Wrong, wrong Persist in the action
