Closer to Fine

[Verse 1]

I'm tryin' to tell you somethin' 'bout my life

Maybe give me insight between black and white

And the best thing that you ever done for me

Is to help me take my life less seriously

It's only life after all

[Verse 2]

Well, darkness has a hunger that's insatiable

And lightness has a call that's hard to hear

And I wrap my fear around me like a blanket

I sailed my ship of safety 'til I sank it

I'm crawling on your shores

[Chorus]

I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains

I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains

There's more than one answer to these questions

Pointing me in a crooked line

And the less I seek my source

The closer I am to fine

Closer I am to fine

[Verse 3]

And I went to see the doctor of philosophy

With a poster of Rasputin and a beard down to his knee

He never did marry or see a B-grade movie

He graded my performance, he said he could see through me

I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind

I got my paper and I was free

[Chorus]

I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains

I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains

There's more than one answer to these questions

Pointing me in a crooked line

And the less I seek my source

Closer I am to fine, yeah

Closer I am to fine

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

We go to the doctor, we go to the mountains

We look to the children, we drink from the fountain

Yeah, we go to the Bible, we go through the workout

We read up on revival, we stand up for the lookout

There's more than one answer to these questions

Pointing me in a crooked line

And the less I seek my source

Closer I am to fine, yeah

Closer I am to fine

Closer I am to fine
