In a press release, through her label Dead Oceans, Mitski explained that the theme in her record, Puberty 2, and therefore this song, is that:… Read More [Verse 1]
Down empty streets sniffing glue, me and you
Blank, open eyes watch the moonflower bloom
It’s been a long, hard, twenty-year summer vacation
All these twenty years tryna fill the void
[Chorus]
Crack baby, you don’t know what you want
But you know that you had it once
And you know that you want it back
Crack baby, you don’t know what you want
But you know that you’re needing it
And you know that you need it bad
[Post-Chorus]
With wild horses running through your hollow bones
Wild horses running through your hollow bones
Ooh-oh
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Went to your room thinking, “Maybe, you’ll feel something”
But all I saw was your burning body waiting
All these twenty-years on a vacation
[Chorus]
Crack baby, you don’t know what you want (Ooh)
But you know that you had it once (Ooh)
And you know that you want it back
Crack baby, you don’t know what you want (Ooh)
But you know that you’re needing it (Ooh)
And you know that you need it bad
Crack baby, you don’t know what you want
But you know that you want it
Yeah, you know that you want it, you know that you (Ooh)
Crack baby, you don’t know what you want
But you know that you need it
And you know that you need it bad
[Outro]
With wild horses running through your hollow bones
Wild horses running through your hollow bones
Wild horses running through your hollow bones
Wild horses running through your hollow bones
