Dum Dums: Why Do I Want What I Haven't Got?

What do I tell her when she stops on kissing
Cause she knows that my heart is not there
What do I tell her when she empties out my mind
Find my fingers through another girls hair
Do I tell her about my close encounter
How I pulled myself away
Or should I drink from another mans altar
That's the way of the world today

Why do I want what I haven't got
To the point that I threw what I had away
Why do I strive for the mystery prize
When I've got the ticket for the satisfied life
And if the grass is greener when I get there
I know I'm gonna let it rot
That's why it remains mysterious
Why I want what I haven't got

No wonder you doubt my honesty
Have you seen what goes on in my head
But my motives are pure and my hands are clean
I'm whiter than the living dead
But maybe I'm playing you for a fool again
I wouldn't believe your ears
I'm a Jekyll and Hyde with a devil inside
I'm darker than your deepest fears

Why do I want what I haven't got
To the point that I threw what I had away
Why do I strive for the mystery prize
When I've got the ticket for the satisfied life
And if the grass is greener when I get there
I know I'm gonna let it rot
This is why it remains mysterious
Why I want what I haven't got
Why I want what I haven't got

Farewell my happy ending
And my security
Farewell my happy life
It don't mean that much to me
I know a woman she dances for riches
She's dressed in the finest gold
She looks like the cover of vogue
She's naked underneath those clothes
I know a lady she dances for free
She can see things that she hates about me
And she has to win though it don't mean a thing
It means everything when you lose
It means everything when you lose

Why do I want what I haven't got
To the point that I threw what I had away
Why do I strive for the mystery prize
When I've got the ticket for the satisfied life
And if the grass is greener when I get there
I know I'm gonna let it rot
This is why it remains mysterious
Why I want what I haven't got
Why I want what I haven't got
Why I want what I haven't got
Why I want what I haven't got

Farewell my happy ending
And my serenity
Farewell my happy life
It don't mean that much to me
It don't mean that much to me
It don't mean that much to me
It don't mean that much to me
