Getting Rid Of What I Wanted

Getting rid of what I wanted gave me far more pleasure
than getting what I wanted as my trashy treasure.

Getting rid of what I wanted gave me far more freedom
than getting what I wanted as my kinky kingdom.

Getting rid of what I wanted gave me far more relief
than getting what I wanted as my bandy belief.

Getting rid of what I wanted gave me far more prudence
than getting what I wanted as my crazy credence.

Getting rid of what I wanted gave me far more marrow
than getting what I wanted as my phony pharaoh.

Getting rid of what I wanted gave me far more passion
than getting what I wanted as my flighty fashion.

Getting rid of what I wanted gave me far more swagger
than getting what I wanted as my dirty dagger.
