LYRICS:

I thought you’d be my streetcar named desire
My way, my taste of wine
I thought you’d be that flame within the fire
One dream that just won’t die

All night, out looking for new love
Impossible true love, nothing at all
Looking for new gods, looking for new blood
Looking for you oh oh

I thought I’d find you walking in the rain
Just like a wayward child
I thought I’d find you calling out my name
So foolish is my pride

All night looking for new love
Impossible true love, nothing at all
Looking for new ways, looking for strange blood
Looking for you oh oh

I thought I’d be your streetcar named desire
Your man, the one you seekI thought I’d take you deep within myself
Subtitles when we speak

Hold on, the flower says reach out
The thunder says no shout is greater than mine
Listen and hold on, until the day fades out
Smothered in gold
