Lyrics=
This is a world of danger and manifest attractions
It is a world that leads you on thru infinite distractions
A million lures are dangling in an ocean world of night
You can’t see the hook; it’s shining much too bright
You think you’re going to get it all
You think that it’s your due
but the thing that you are chasing
is the thing that’s chasing you,
You can keep on wishing for the thing that’s coming next
It’s a sad reminder... of what happened to the rest
It’s a burning waste of space. You’ll find nothing there.
The caravan goes backward, through a dancing fire ring
and your lower regions sing,
and your lower regions call
You’re up against the wall
while it waits for you to beg
roll over and play dead,
pretend you’ve lost your head
then you can dance the night away
in zombie-land Club Med
You think you’re going to get it all
You think that it’s your due
but the thing that you are chasing
is the thing that’s chasing you,
There is a priceless gift from the real world up above
It’s the everlasting wonder of his glory and his love
There is nothing here to match it; without it, you’re in Hell
Its presence fashions Heaven, no matter where you dwell
If you have it, you lack nothing. It is everything you seek
It always has its eye out for the humble and the meek
It’s the cornerstone of truth and the light upon the path
It’s dancing in the numbers, and it’s present in the math
The glass that holds the candle is the window of the soul
That is where the spirit shines and makes your being whole
It chases off the shadows... it’s the freedom in the wine
It’s the living peace transcendent in the labyrinth of time
You think you’re going to get it all
You think that it’s your due
but the thing that you are chasing
is the thing that’s chasing you,
It is the ringing song of God... the origin of sound
It’s the source of light where your freedom is found
It hums below your hearing and holds everything in place
It’s the universal architect that shapes the human face
If you have found the key of life, nothing follows that
It’s in the mind of God that you find out where you’re at.
It is always at its best... whether in motion or at rest
letting go of everything means you passed the test
You think you’re going to get it all
You think that it’s your due
but the thing that you are chasing
is the thing that’s chasing you,
If it troubled you, it was anger... greed... or fear
The very chains of Satan that have kept you here
Love destroys all bondage and is your only friend
When you discover love, you will not be lost again
You will not be lost again. You will not be lost again.
This is a world of dangers and manifest attractions
It is a world that leads you on to manifold distractions
A million lures are dangling in an ocean world of night
You can’t see the hook; it is shining far too bright
You think you’re going to get it all
You think that it’s your due
but the thing that you are chasing
is the thing that’s chasing you.
You think you’re going to get it all
You think that it’s your due
but the thing that you are chasing
is the thing that’s chasing you,
