Lyrics
Strange Affection, strange emotion, strange condition
to your eyes
Moving music, moving pictures, moving mountains,
with your smile
Why do you always head for something that you know
Do you find it so hard to let go
Big addiction, big affliction, big restriction
on your life
More than heavy, more than ready, more than reason,
can provide
Why do you always head for something that you know
Do you find it so hard to let go
Say that you never feel alone, though your friends are all long gone
It seems the song goes on & on, just keeps on rearranging
You never made the grade, or burned bright enough to fade
was it your ego on parade, or is it the ties that bind you
What's the story, what's your worry, what's the lesson here,
you decide
Good convention, best intention, too good to mention,
for your pride
Why do you always head for something that you know
Do you find it so hard to let go
