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
|
But will it last me for all my life
|
Or just one more lonely night
|
|
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 costs me now or later
|
I want it and I want it fast
|
I'll go to any length
|
Sacrifice all that 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
|
|
The lust, the flesh
|
The eyes
|
And the pride of life
|
Drain the life
|
Right out of me
|
|
And I love 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
|
Never knowing that they probably
|
Won't remember what they said tomorrow
|
Tomorrow I could be dead
|
|
The lust, the flesh
|
The eyes
|
And the pride of life
|
Drain the life
|
Right out of me
|
|
