[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
Mmm, no questions asked
Don't worry how much it costs me now or later
I want it, want it, baby, and I want it now
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!
