The - True Happiness This Way Lies lyrics

rate me

*****************************<br />

And have you ever wanted something so badly<br />

That it possessed your body & your soul<br />

Through the night & through the day<br />

Until you finally get it!<br />

And then you realise that it wasn't what you wanted after all.<br />

And then those selfsame sickly little thoughts<br />

Now go & attach themselves to something....<br />

....or somebody....new!<br />

And the whole goddamn thing starts all over again.<br />

Well, I've been crushing the symptoms but I can't locate the<br />

Cause.<br />

Could God really be so cruel?<br />

To give us feelings that could never be fulfilled. Baby!<br />

I've got my sights set on you. I've got my sight set on you<br />

And someday, someday, someday, you'll come my way.<br />

But when you put your arms around me<br />

I'll be looking over your shoulder for something new<br />

'cause I ain't ever found peace upon the breast of a girl<br />

I ain't ever found peace with the religion of the world<br />

I ain't ever found peace at the bottom of a glass<br />

Sometimes it seems the more I ask for the less I receive<br />

Sometimes it seems the more I ask for the less I receive<br />

The only true freedom is freedom from the heart's desires<br />

& the only true happiness....this way lies.
