And have you ever wanted something so badly
that it possessed your body and your soul
through the night and through the day
until you finally get it!
And then you realize that it wasn't what you wanted
after all.
And then those selfsame sickly little thoughts
now go and attach themselves to something....
....or somebody....new!
And the whole goddamn thing starts all over again.

Well, I've been crushing the symptoms
but I can't locate the cause.
Could God really be so cruel?
To give us feelings
that could never be fulfilled.
Baby!

I've got my sights set on you.
I've got my sight set on you
And someday, someday, someday,
you'll come my way.
But when you put your arms around me
I'll be looking over your shoulder
for something new
'cause I ain't ever found peace
upon the breast of a girl
I ain't ever found peace with the religion
of the world
I ain't ever found peace
at the bottom of a glass

sometimes it seems
the more I ask for
the less I receive
sometimes it seems
the more I ask for
the less I receive

The only true freedom
is freedom from the heart's desires
and the only true happiness....this way lies.
