Well I feel like I have to feel
|
Something good all of the time
|
With most of life I cannot deal
|
But a good feeling I can feel
|
Even though it may not be real
|
And if a person, place, or thing can deliver
|
I will quiver with delight
|
Will it last me for all my life
|
Or just one more lonely night
|
|
Chorus:
|
The lust, the flesh, the eyes, and the pride of life
|
Drain the life right out of me
|
|
Well I see something and
|
I want it, bam, right now, no questions asked
|
Don't worry how much it cost me
|
Now or later I want it want it, babe, and I want it now
|
I'll go to any length
|
Sacrifice all I already have, and all that I might get
|
Just to get something more that I don't need
|
And Lord please don't ask me what for
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Can I look when folks look right at me
|
and what I'm doing or have done
|
And lay it on about how groovy I am
|
And that I'm looking grand
|
And every single word makes me think
|
I'll live forever and ever
|
Knowing that they probably won't remember
|
What they said tomorrow
|
Tomorrow I could be dead
|
|
Chorus
