Sam Roberts Band - If You Want It Lyrics

Getaway car full of bullet holes
Didn't stop pushing till they broke the mold
Didn't die young but they didn't grow old as well
The Necromancer and the Southern Belle
Sittin' outside the gates of Hell
Lickin' their lips 'cause the axe just fell again
And they were singing

(chorus)
If you want it, if you want it
Then you're gonna have to take it from me
If you want it
Well it's all for sale, never gonna get it for free
If you want it, if you want it
Well you're gonna have to give me something
If you want it
Well I need to know - what's in it for me?

Some of them fall, some of them fade
Some get lost in the masquerade
Looking for the sun but you found the shade again
The Cosmic Dancer, the Marquis de Sade
Were holding on to the lightning rod
Looking for kicks but the plan was flawed again
And again they were singing

I remember love and the stars above
When push comes to shove you run for cover
You found the scent again, you're hell-bent again
Now you can't pretend to be a lover
In the afterlife, on the other side
You found peace of mind undercover
You're the rock that rolls, you're the bell that tolls
You're the one that pulls me like no other

I'm living outside the law
I'm waiting for the ice to thaw
Just listening for the crow to call again ...
and again we were singing...

(chorus)
