The Lust, The Flesh, The Eyes And The Pride Of Life Lyrics - Smalltown Poets

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
