What I Want I’ll Take Lyrics by Alix Alixandra

Let’s Kill The Ones We Love (Halloween single, plus b​-​side)

2021

You tell me that you think I’m pretty but I don’t really hear the words cause the music is quite loud - you put your hand on my back, you lead me to the bathroom - I don’t know what you were planning but now the ushers stopped you
Here come the drums on the record on the mixing desk and the DJ is getting it wrong again and again and I think you want to break him down - I think you want to break him down
You step outside and now I think you want to smoke a cigarette - here comes the rain and I’m getting absolutely soaking wet - I say I’ll get a taxi, you say your flat is round the corner - close to the metro station, I could pick it up in the morning
Yeah, I’m lead by your shaking hands, your key barely fits in the lock on the door and you’re leading me up the fifth floor and my dress is coming off down onto the floor and another night between the sheets on an unknown bed - another headboard and I have hit my head - Another night not having much to really think about - on the bottom of your list of priorities
There’s something that you want from me that you’ll take
The last girl you spent with; she didn’t stand a chance now did she?
Whatever it was you put in her drink went to her head too quickly
No one could have guessed what happened next
Just another unknown girl with so many absent friends
And now you’re waking up with a hole in your skull - looking for your empathy I dug as deep as I could go and there are sequins and feathers coming out of your pretty boy mouth and if they ask me why I’ll say I couldn’t help myself - I couldn’t help myself - just like you couldn’t help yourself
There’s something that I want from you that I’ll take
