I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was a foot-loose man
And you can?t always get what you want
Honey, you can?t always get what you want
You can?t always get want you want
But if you try sometime,
You just might find you get what you need
I went down to the demonstration to get my fair share of abuse
Singing "we're gonna vent our frustration,
If we don?t we?re gonna blow a fifty amp fuse
Chorus
So, I went down to the Chelsea Drugstore to get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with, Mr Jimmy
And man did he look pretty ill
We decided that we would have a soda
My favorite flavor, cherry red
I sung my song to Mr Jimmy
And he said one word to me and that was "dead"
I said to him
I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception
Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands
