i wish i had your voice
i wish i had your demonic nature
i wish i had your hunger
i wish i had your addiction to danger
tell me your jokes
show me your brilliant fingerpainting
let me drink in your sunshine
let me peer through my little grating
this is not for the faint of heart
nor for the faint of mind
if this is more open than what you are
please pardon if i seem unkind
i wish i had your eyes
i wish i had your moment in the spotlight
i wish i had your mercy
i wish i knew how to break with the night
this is not for the pure of mind
nor for the pure of heart
i can't promise you that i'll stay this way but
i promise i'll look away if you fall apart
and i will welcome you to my hole in the wall
and i will wipe my feet on the mat
and i will show you where i am coming from
and i will knock your senses flat
just you wait
