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
