All I Need is One

[Chorus] One tape in the deck One way to connect (All I need is one) One moment alone One reason to roam One place I call home (All I need is one) One tick on the clock One trick up my sleeve One thing to believe (All I need is one) One person to love One verse and one prayer For one person who cares (All I need is one) So put one hand in the air [Verse 1] It used to be I’d get afraid and I’d drive Going forward’s always been the only place I can hide With no direction I would speed a hundred miles down the coast Until I lose the ghost that’s chasing me but never arrive I know the night’s scary, but we’re alive and the pipe’s cherry And I’ve got a stack of papers like a library I’m driving seeking a beacon of light freakishly All I needed was a speaker that might speak to me But my CD system is so janky a cone dangles And it dances on its chord like it’s Bo Jangles You can work it if you hold it at a low angle But when the bass hits it grows tangled Come on right speaker! I’ll take everything you give me But don’t pity me, there’s people living on a single kidney In my shitty car I’m living large and mashing through my city Sitting pretty I know That I’m ready to go (Because) [Chorus] One tape in the deck One way to connect (All I need is one) One moment alone One reason to roam One place I call home (All I need is one) One tick on the clock One trick up my sleeve One thing to believe (All I need is one) One person to love One verse and one prayer For one person who cares (All I need is one) So put one hand in the air [Verse 2] For beautiful babies in Vegas on their last chip For all my ninth life kittens hittin’ catnip For heavy drinkers thinking they were never jack shit You’re thinking that’s it, but hit a backflip You got a cracked rib or, maybe a bad liver You got a bad hip or even a bad temper But if it’s last supper, one legged mad leper Put on that glass slipper, you ain’t no half stepper This ain’t no last breath, it’s only one collapsed lung We’re holding up the bank with nothing but a cap gun Down to your last blank Down to my last drop Up in the gas tank We better have fun Time isn’t a sacred cow And I’m willing to take it down to the final minute or second, milking my last one Going up for a take and I’m itching for action All I need is one I should remind myself that All I need is one [Chorus] One tape in the deck One way to connect (All I need is one) One moment alone One reason to roam One place I call home (All I need is one) One tick on the clock One trick up my sleeve One thing to believe (All I need is one) One person to love One verse and one prayer For one person who cares (All I need is one) So put one hand in the air
