I'm tryin' to tell you somethin' 'bout my life
Maybe give me insight between black and white
And the best thing you ever done for me
Was 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
And I wrapped my fear around me like a blanket
I sailed my ship of safety 'til I sank it
I'm crawling on your shores
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
Closer I am to fine
I went to see a 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 - got my paper and I was free
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
Closer I am to fine
I stopped by the bar at three a.m.
To seek solace in a bottle, or possibly a friend
And I woke up with a headache like my head against the 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 fountains
We go to the doctor; we go to the mountains
We look to the children; we drink from the fountains
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 for some definitive - closer I am to fine
Closer I am to fine
Closer I am to fine
