True Happiness This Way Lies - The The

作词：Matt Johnson

作曲：Matt Johnson

And have you ever wanted something so badly

That it possessed your body & your soul

Through the night & through the day until you finally get it

And then you realise that it wasn't what you wanted after all

And then those selfsame sickly little thoughts

Now go & attach themselves to something or somebody new

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 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

I'll be looking over your shoulder for something new

'Cause I ain't ever found peace upon 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
