Lyrics for Song: Seek Up
Lyrics for Album: Live At Luther College [1999]
Fall back again, fall back again,
Fall back again, fall back again
Oh, life it seems a struggle between
What we see and what we do
I'm not going to change my ways
Just to please you or appease you
Well look at this crowd, five billion proud
Willing to punch it out
Right, wrong, weak, strong
Ashes to ashes all fall down
Look around about this round
About this merry-go-round around
If at all God's gaze upon us fall
It's with a mischevous grin, look at him
Forget about the reasons and
The treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that
Our emotions can be kept at bay
Forget about being guilty,
We are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away
Oh, Look at me in my fancy car
And my bank account
Oh, how I wish I could take it all down
To my grave, God knows I'd save and save
Man, Take a look again, take a look again,
Things you have collected
Well in the end it all piles up so tall,
To ine big nothin' one big nothin' at all
Forget about the reasons and
The treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that
Our emotions can be swept away, kept at bay
Forget about being guilty, we are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away
(You know how it is)
You seek up an emotion
And your cup is overflowing
You seek up an emotion,
Sometimes your well is dry
Your looking for a monster
For him to fight your wars for you
But when he finds his way to you,
The devil's not going--ha, ha
(Say Oh say)
Late at night with TV's hungry child
His belly swells
Well, for a price of a coke or a smoke
I could keep alive those hungy eyes
Man, Take a look again, take a look again,
Take a look again
Everyday things change, but basically they stay the same
Forget about the reasons and
The treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that
Our emotions can be kept at bay
Forget about being guilty, we are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away
You seek up an emotion
And our cup is overflowing
You seek up an emotion,
Sometimes your well is dry
You seek up a big monster
For him to fight your wars for you
But when he finds his way to you, the devil's not
Going--ha, ha
Fall back again, fall back again, fall back again...
