Lyrics - True Happiness This Way Lies by The The

*****************************
And have you ever wanted something so badlythat it possessed your body & your soulthrough the night & through the dayuntil you finally get it!
And then you realise that it wasn't what you wanted after all.
And then those selfsame sickly little thoughtsnow 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 thecause.
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 glasssometimes it seems the more
I ask for the less
I receivesometimes it seems the more
I ask for the less
I receive
The only true freedom is freedom from the heart's desires& the only true happiness....this way lies.
