Seek Up (Live at Luther College)

[Intro]
Fall back again
Fall back again
Fall back again
Fall back again

[Verse 1]
Oh, life it seems a struggle between
What we see and what we do
I'm not going to change my ways
Just to please you or appease you

Look at this crowd, five billion proud
Willing to punch it out
Right, wrong, weak, strong
Ashes to ashes all fall down

Oh look around about this round about
This merry-go-round and around
If at all God's gaze upon us falls
It's with a mischievous grin, look at him

[Refrain 1]
Forget about the reasons
And the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that
Our emotions can be kept at bay
Forget about being guilty
We are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away

[Verse 2]
Look at me in my fancy car
And my bank account
Oh, how I wish I could take it all down
To my grave
God knows I'd save and save
Man take a look again
Take a look again
Things you have collected
Well in the end it all piles up so tall
To one big nothing
One big nothing at all

[Refrain 2]
Forget about the reasons and
The treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that our emotions can be
Swept away, kept at bay
Forget about being guilty, we are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away

[Chorus 1]
You seek up an emotion
And your cup is overflowing
You seek up an emotion
Sometimes your well is dry
You looking for a monster
For him to fight your wars for you
But when he finds his way to you
The devil's not going ha ha

[Verse 3]
Say
Oh say
Late at night with TV's hungry child
His belly swells
Well for the price of a coke or a smoke
I could keep alive those hungry eyes

Man, take a look again
Take a look again
Take a look again
Every day things change
But basically they stay the same

[Refrain 3]
Forget about the reasons and
The treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that
Our emotions can be kept at bay
Forget about being guilty, we are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away

[Chorus 2]
You seek up an emotion
And your cup is overflowing
Hey hey, ah oh again

You seek up an emotion
Sometimes your well is dry
Oh yeah

You seek up a big monster
For him to fight your wars for you
But yeah hey hey

But when he find his way to you
The devil's not going ha ha ha ha

[Outro]
Fall back again
Fall back again (I said)
Fall back again (Ohh)
Fall back again
