Half a Double Man Lyrics by Wye Oak

Cut All the Wires: 2009–2011

2021

[Verse 1]
You never let me find it
You never let me look
You always hid behind it
The pages in a book
You never let me look
[Verse 2]
Stand up and be collected
Like a half a double man
You’re all I ever wanted
But now I want again
Like half a double man
[Chorus]
Is wanting enough, enough
This is no obvious drug
And no god demanding blood
Is wanting enough
[Verse 3]
I ask about my body
You say it’s had enough
I’m living crossing fingers
Nothing to back it up
I say it’s had enough
[Chorus]
Is wanting enough, enough
This is no obvious drug
And no god demanding blood
Is wanting enough enough
[Verse 4]
I ask about the engine
We’re trusting with our lives
Not as a second guessing
In case we pay the price
But as though we were wise
