More to Life
Alone again with these four walls
and a hall that leads to four more
And I’m drained from the pain of a trampled on heart
and my hand that got slammed in the door
City lights, starless nights,
parked in your car on Mulhulland Drive
Contemplation, an old revelation,
I’m still hungry for more than what keeps me alive
(Chorus)
Whoa, la da dai la la da la dai
Is there more to life than this?
So I paid my rent and my money’s spent
Now I’m feelin’ like I’m a mouse on a wheel
Back to the grind but I’m starting to find
I’m hungry and they’re trying to sell a spiritual meal
Ancient verses, wiccan witch curses, and chicken soup quotations
Misfortune cookies, and tarot card rookies,
They point to my next revelation
(Chorus)
So I stop to listen to the man dressed in crimson
He’s on the scene and he’s got a following
Says idols are the fix that we mix in
to spice up our existential recipe
Did the guru mention to all of life’s questions
He holds the answers in his brain
And for a price he’ll bestow his advice
And his supreme knowledge we will gain
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
She says she knows the way
But there’s a price to pay
Is there some truth for free
No price for this decree?
(Chorus)
So now we’re broke and we smoked our last smoke
And we stare catatonic at the stars
But we start to see by their design
A designer’s got to be behind their order
And who we are
