lyrics

Well I feel like I have to feel something good all of the time
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 will 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 look at something and I want it bang!
Right now, no questions asked
Don't worry about what you might cost me now or later
I want it baby and I want it now
I'll go to any lengths, sacrifice, all that I already have and all that I might give
Just to get something more 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

Well people come right up to me and ask what happened or have done
And play on about how groovy I am and that I'm looking grand
And every single word makes me think I'll last forever, never knowing
That they probably won't remember what they say tomorrow
Tomorrow I could be dead
The lust, the flesh, the eyes and the pride of life
Drain the life right out of me
