Lyrics

[00:10.19] I'm trying to tell you something 'bout my life
[00:13.90] Maybe give me insight between black and white
[00:19.17] And the best thing you ever done for me
[00:24.12] Is to help me take my life less seriously
[00:28.27] It's only life after all, yeah
[00:34.47] Well, darkness has a hunger that's insatiable
[00:39.03] And lightness has a call that's hard to hear
[00:44.19] And I wrap my fear around me like a blanket
[00:48.60] I sailed my ship of safety till I sank it
[00:52.76] I'm crawling on your shores
[00:56.47][01:54.95] And I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
[01:01.18][01:59.66][03:02.78] I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains
[01:06.01][02:04.16][03:27.16] There's more than one answer to these questions
[01:09.82][02:08.41][03:31.37] Pointing me in a crooked line
[01:13.47][02:11.97][03:33.90] And the less I seek my source for some definitive (The less I seek my source)
[01:17.24][02:15.85][03:48.56] Closer I am to fine, yeah
[01:28.14] And I went to see the doctor of philosophy
[01:32.64] With a poster of Rasputin and a beard down to his knee
[01:37.67] He never did marry or see a B-grade movie
[01:42.57] He graded my performance, he said he could see through me
[01:47.28] I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind
[01:50.84] Got my paper and I was free
[02:36.50] I stopped by the bar at 3 A.M.
[02:40.81] To seek solace in a bottle or possibly a friend
[02:45.88] And I woke up with a headache like my head against a board
[02:50.76] Twice as cloudy as I'd been the night before
[02:54.82] And I went in seeking clarity
[02:58.44] I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
[03:07.59] We go to the doctor, we go to the mountains
[03:12.72] We look to the children, we drink from the fountain
[03:17.35] Yeah, we go to the Bible, we go through the workout
[03:22.48] We read up on revival, we stand up for the lookout
[03:38.84] Closer I am to fine
