Seek Up (Live at Luther College, Decorah, IA - February 1996)

Sometimes I feel like I'm falling Fall back again, fall back again, Fall back again, fall back again Oh, life it seems a struggle between What we think what we see I'm not going to change my ways Just to please you or appease you Inside a crowd, five billion proud Willing to punch it out Right, wrong, weak, strong Ashes to ashes all fall down Look around about this round About this merry-go-round around If at all God's gaze upon us fall His mischievous grin, look at him Forget about the reasons and The treasons we are seeking Forget about the notion that Our emotions can be swept away Forget about being guilty, We are innocent instead For soon we will all find our lives swept away Sit awhile with TV's hungry child Big belly swelled Oh, for a price of a coke or a smoke Keep alive those hungy eyes Take a look at me, what you see in me, Mirror look at me Face it all, face it all again Forget about the reasons and The treasons we are seeking Forget about the notion that your emotions can be Wept away, kept at bay Forget about being guilty, I am innocent instead For soon we will all find our lives swept away You seek up an emotion And our cup is overflowing You seek up an emotion, Sometimes your well is dry You seek up a big monster For him to fight your wars for you But when he finds his way to you, the devil's not Going--ha, ha Say, say Look at me in my fancy car And my bank account Oh, how I wish I could take it all down Into my grave, I'd save Take a look again, take a look again, Take a look again Everyday things change... stay the same Forget about the reasons and The treasons we are seeking Forget about the notion that Your emotions can be swept away Intentions are not wicked, Don't be tricked into thinking so Soon we will all find our lives swept away You seek up an emotion And our cup is overflowing You seek up an emotion, Sometimes your well is dry You seek up a big monster For him to fight your wars for you But when he finds his way to you, The devil's not going - ha, ha Fall back again, fall back again, fall back again
