Lyrics Steve Lukather

Steve Lukather

Tell Me What You Want From Me

Come and see the smoke and mirror show

See how we turn the truth around

After which we slide across the floor

Lead you away from solid ground

The angel falls and tempts the youth

But that’s not the way

But I know what’s right

What I hold in my soul helps me sleep through the night

It’s hard not to stray

When the voices persuade you to turn and complain

Everything fades away

Tell me what you want from me

Watch the people come, and watch them leave

They sell your heart and watch it grieve

Always feeding from a helping hand

And slip away ‘cause that’s the plan

But you know what's right

What I hold in my soul helps me sleep through the night

It’s hard not to stray

When the voices persuade you to turn and complain

Everything fades away

Tell me what you want from me

All the tears (all of the tears)

Tears you cry

All the years (all of the years)

Years gone by

Tell me what you want from me
