Sam Roberts Band - If You Want It

A getaway car full of bullet holes
Didn't stop pushin' til they broke the mold
Didn't die young but they didn't grow old as well
The Necromancer and the Southern belle
Sittin' outside the gates of hell
Lickin' their lips 'cause the ashes fell again
And they were singin'

If you want it
If you want it, well you're gonna have to take it from me
If you want it, well it's all for sale
Never gonna give it for free
If you want it
If you want it, well you're gonna have to give me something
If you want it, well I need to know
What's in it for me?

Some of them fall, some of them fail
Some get lost in the masquerade
Looking for the sun but you found the shade again
The cosmic dancer and my key desire
Holdin' on to the lightnin' rod
Looking for kicks but the plan was flawed again
And again, they were singin'

If you want it
If you want it, well you're gonna have to take it from me
If you want it, well it's all for sale
Never gonna give it for free
If you want it
If you want it, well you're gonna have to give me something
If you want it, well I need to know
What's in it for me?

I remember love and the stars above
When push comes to shove, you run for cover
Found the scent again, you're hell bent again
And now you can't pretend to be a lover
In the afterlife, on the other side
Found peace of mind, undercover
You're the rock that rolls, you're the bell that tolls
You're the one that pulls me underwater

I'm livin' outside the law
I'm waitin' for the ice to thaw
Just listen for the crow to call again
And again, we were singin'

If you want it
If you want it, well you're gonna have to take it from me
If you want it, well it's all for sale
Never gonna give it for free
If you want it
If you want it, well you're gonna have to give me something
If you want it, well I need to know
What's in it for me?

If you want it
If you want it, well you're gonna have to take it from me
If you want it, well it's all for sale
Never gonna give it for free
If you want it
If you want it, well you're gonna have to give me something
If you want it, well I need to know
What's in it for me?
What's in it for me?
What's in it for me?
