True Happiness (Live)

Have you ever wanted something?

You gotta help sing along with this song in case I forget the words

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

Somebody or something

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, mm, you

I've got my sight set on you

And someday, someday, someday

You'll come my way

But when you put your arms around me

Well, I'll be looking over your shoulder for something new

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

I always have to add a disclaimer there

Because I've found a lot of peace

On the breast of girls

Haven't we all?

From infancy all the way to old age

There's no place like home and there's no home like 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
