Song Description

When you commit yourself to satisfaction of desire, you soon find that it is harder and harder to achieve; and you spiral down into deeper and deeper levels of obsession, while God is more and more distant.

Lyrics

You can go for love
you can go for money
They'll send you straight to hell
Without a tear
Didn't take a shove
To make you do it honey
It was so easy not to fear

(chorus 1)
And you're gone, gone again
and if you'll listen
Only God knows when
there's a back seat driver
Taking you down
You know his name, he's been around
And you're gone, gone again

Falling down again
Don't look in the mirror
You're not quite sure what you will find
You're your only friend
But you are such a dear
You've left those foolish thoughts behind

(chorus 2)
And you're gone, gone again
And it's looking more like
The devil's your only friend
Yeah, he's driving you to hell
On a wide and easy track
Straight ahead and don't look back
And you're gone, gone again

So you long for every time
You thought you saw the Lord
And you cry every time
You're wrong again
Sometimes those words cut just like a sword
You just want someone to be your friend

(chorus 1)
