The Lust, the Flesh, the Eyes, and the Pride of Life
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
