Lyrics Smalltown Poets

Smalltown Poets

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

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
