Can't Satisfy Me Now Lyrics

I watched you disappear
Into a crowded gray line
You were shaking off the tears from woeful eyes
But you couldn't stop the shaking of your spine
When I was a boy
I used you soothe a cruel streak by kicking your heart around
I thought I left that side behind when I became a man
But here's your heart right back upon the ground
That can't satisfy me now
The sight of pain and misery
That strange gratifying sound
That wrote a fool's history
When I saw you yesterday
The sky seized the breath from my burning throat like a toad
Your voice froze me stiff
Like I'd just seen my life's secrets
Scattered by the wind in the road
I looked upon my Lazarus
And its shook me like I'd flown my kite into electrical skies
By some trick of time I'd forgotten your smell
And the water in the well at the bottom of your eyes That can't satisfy me now
The sight of pain and misery
That strange gratifying sound
That wrote a fool's history
Why? I just can't say
There was so much I wouldn't give to you
Today, in the cold light of day
It's so clear to me
I should have loved you... too
Your broken glass eyes are calling me like a slave
They have my soul but cannot be filled
I got a spoonful of medicine I once gave
And by God it's such a bitter pill...
That can't satisfy me now
The sight of pain and misery
That strange gratifying sound
That wrote a fool's history
Why? I just can't say...
There was so much I wouldn't give to you
Today, in the cold light of day
It's so clear to me
I should have loved you... too
That can't satisfy me now... satisfy me now
