Gotta Know Now

Primitive Radio Gods

I saw you standing in the doorway in the corner

Of the room where I observed you looking out the kitchen window

I wanna throw my arms around you like a lonely hidden dirge (?)

Marijuana smoke is blowing out the screen door



Let me in, let me out, let me go, let me up

Let me down, let me stay, let me know

Let me hear, let me see, let me sigh

Let me think, for the truth, for the truth, gonna try



I wanna write your lucky number on the scrap of paper towel

I confiscated from the restroom of the hotel

I wanna give you a massage and watch “Bonanza”

Clip your toenails, order Chinese food and eat it with our fingers



Let me in, let me out, let me go, let me up

Let me down, let me stay, let me know

Let me be, let me see, let me sigh

Let me think, for the truth, for the truth, gonna try



Gotta know, gotta know, gotta know, gotta know now

Gotta know, gotta know, gotta know, gotta know now



This time it's nothing like the first time I saw Jesus

Drinking seven bloody Marys on the bar stool in Miami

This night is nothing like the time I saw Picasso

Throwing rings of cigar smoke around the head of Fidel Castro



Let me in, let me out, let me go, let me up

Let me down, let me stay, let me know

Let me feel, let me see, let me sigh

Let me see, for the truth, for the truth, gonna try

Let me in, let me out, let me go, let me up

Let me down, let me stay, let me know

Let me be, let me see, let me sigh

Let me see, for the truth, for the truth, gonna try



Gotta know, gotta know, gotta know, gotta know now

Gotta know, gotta know, gotta know, gotta know now
