True happiness this way lies lyrics

Hey man, I got what you need!

And have you ever wanted something so badly

That it possessed your body and your soul

Through the night and through the day

Until you finally get it!

And then you realize that it wasn't what you wanted after all

And then those selfsame sickly little thoughts

Now go and attach themselves to something, or somebody, new!

And the whole goddamn thing starts all over again

Well, I've been crushing the symptoms

But I can't locate the cause

Could God really be so cruel?

To give us feelings that could never be fulfilled.

Baby!

I've got my sights set on you

I've got my sights set on you

And someday, someday, someday

You'll come my way

But when you put your arms around me

I'll be looking over your shoulder for something new

'cause I ain't ever found peace upon the breast of a girl

I ain't ever found peace with the religion of the world

I ain't ever found peace at the bottom of a glass

Sometimes it seems the more I ask for the less I receive

Sometimes it seems the more I ask for the less I receive

The only true freedom is freedom from the heart's desires

and the only true happiness, this way lies
