The Lust, the Flesh, the Eyes, and the Pride of Life

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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? [Chorus] The lust, the flesh, the eyes, and the pride of life Drain the life right out of me [Verse 2] 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, want it, baby, 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 [Chorus] The lust, the flesh, the eyes, and the pride of life Drain the life right out of me [Verse 3] 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 am lookin' 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 [Chorus] The lust, the flesh, the eyes, and the pride of life Drain the life right out of me Ho!
