True Happiness This Way Lies

And have you ever wanted something so badly
 That it possessed your body and your soul
 Through the night and through the day
 Until you finally get it
 And then you realize that it wasn't what you wanted after all
 And then those selfsame sickly little thoughts
 Now go and 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 lookin' over your shoulder for somethin' 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
