i'm trying to tell you something about my life
maybe give me inside between black and white
and the best thing you ever done for me
used to help me take my life less seriously
it's only life after all yeah
well darkness has a hunger that's insatiable
and lightness has a call that's hard to hear
and i wrap my fear around me like a blanket
i sailed my ship of safety till i sank it
i'm crawling on your shores
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 find yeah
closer i am to find yeah
and 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 big great 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
and the less i seek my source for some definitives
closer i am to find yeah
closer i am to find
yeah
i stopped by the bar at three 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've been the night before
and 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
yeah 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 upon 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 find
closer i am to find
closer i am to find
yeah
