Smalltown Poets Album: Third Verse Track: Lust, the Flesh, the Eyes and the Pride of Life
Lust, the Flesh, the Eyes and the Pride of Life Lyrics
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
