You know you get what you want - You get what you want - because you look at me - You know you get what you want - because we float downstream yeah - All is clear - under this translucent skin - but you won't let me in - The shade of your eyes - The shape of your eyes - Change the subject while you still can - but its not gone no its not gone - Engage the subject while you still can - but its not going anywhere - All is clear - under this translucent skin - but you won't me in - The shape of your eyes - The element of surprise - So sit down - Just sit down - lets wait here - cause its not over - YOU KNOW YOU'LL GET WHAT YOU WANT

I see these lyrics as spoken from the viewpoint of heroin, trying to coax a user into using it again. Bear with me: The user "gets what he wants", obviously, when using the drug. The heroin, when injected, "floats downstream" though his veins. Dead veins are probably visible under his "translucent skin". "The shape of your eyes", diluted pupils?, "the shade of your eyes", redness of the eyes? Maybe that's exclusive to marijuana, don't quote me. I'm tired.
