Not Everything That Feels Good

Not Everything That Feels Good

I was hungry for affection.
She was hungry for a friend.
I reached out and tried to listen.
She reached out and took my hand.
I did everything to please her.
We both wanted more and more.
Love finally came up empty.
Left us hungrier than before.

CHORUS:
Not everything that feels good,
Not everything that feels good,
Not everything that feels good
Is good.

He was heavy into business.
Corporate power at his command.
He was strung out on achievement
And the dollars in his hand.
He climbed higher on the ladder
Than the ladder ought to reach.
Wall street took a little tumble.
Left him laid-out in the street.

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
You feel the fire, confused
Between the good and bad.
You take the feel-good
And you lose what real good
You might have had.

We have all been true believers
When they tell that pretty lie.
They sell us on the feel good
That will kill us bye-and-bye.
Any showman has the power
To make you feel that ecstasy.
He can tell you it’s the Spirit,
But which spirit would that be?

CHORUS
