Can't Satisfy Me Now

I watched you disappear Into a crowded gray line You were shaking off the tears from woeful eyes But you couldn't stop the shaking of your spine When I was a boy I used you soothe a cruel streak by kicking your heart around I thought I left that side behind when I became a man But here's your heart right back upon the ground That can't satisfy me now The sight of pain and misery That strange gratifying sound That wrote a fool's history When I saw you yesterday The sky seized the breath from my burning throat like a toad Your voice froze me stiff Like I'd just seen my life's secrets Scattered by the wind in the road I looked upon my Lazarus And its shook me like I'd flown my kite into electrical skies By some trick of time I'd forgotten your smell And the water in the well at the bottom of your eyes That can't satisfy me now The sight of pain and misery That strange gratifying sound That wrote a fool's history Why? I just can't say There was so much I wouldn't give to you Today, in the cold light of day It's so clear to me I should have loved you... too Your broken glass eyes are calling me like a slave They have my soul but cannot be filled I got a spoonful of medicine I once gave And by God it's such a bitter pill... That can't satisfy me now The sight of pain and misery That strange gratifying sound That wrote a fool's history Why? I just can't say... There was so much I wouldn't give to you Today, in the cold light of day It's so clear to me I should have loved you... too That can't satisfy me now... satisfy me now
