i’m trying to tell you something about my life
maybe give me insight between black and white
the best thing you’ve ever done for me
is to help me take my life less seriously it’s only life after all
well darkness has a hunger that’s insatiable
and lightness has a call that’s hard to hear
i wrap my fear around me like a blanket
i sailed my ship of safety till i sank it i’m crawling on your shore
and 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 for some definitive
closer i am to fine yeah
closer i am to fine yeah
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 bgrade movie
he graded my performance he said he could see through me
i spent four years prostrate to the higher mind got my paper
and i was free
and 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
the less i seek my source for some definitive
closer i am to fine yeah
closer i am to fine yeah
4
i stopped by the bar at am
to seek solace in a bottle or possibly a friend
and i woke up with a headache like my head against a board
twice as cloudy as i’d been the night before
when i went in seeking clarity
i went to the doctor i went to the mountains
i looked to the children i drank from the fountain
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 and 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 for some definitive
closer i am to fine
closer i am to fine
closer i am to fine yeah
