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

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 see something and I want it

Bam! Right now! No questions asked

Don't worry how much it costs me now or later, I want it, I want it bad, and I want it fast

I'll go to any length, sacrifice all that 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

The lust, the flesh, the eyes, and the pride of life

Drain the life right out of me

And I love 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, never knowing

That they probably won't remember what they said tomorrow, tomorrow I could be dead

The lust, the flesh, the eyes, and the pride of life

Drain the life right out of me, oh
