Lyrics
[Verse 1] I'm tryin' to tell you somethin' 'bout my life Maybe give me insight between black and white And the best thing you ever done for me Is to help me take my life less seriously It's only life after all, yeah [Verse 2] Well, darkness has a hunger that's insatiable And lightness has a call that's hard to hear And I wrap my fear around me like a blanket I sailed my ship of safety 'til I sank it I'm crawling on your shores [Chorus] And I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains There's more than one answer to these questions Pointing me in a crooked line And the less I seek my source for some definitive (The less I seek my source) Closer I am to fine, yeah Closer I am to fine, yeah [Verse 3] And I went to see the doctor of philosophy With a poster of Rasputin and a beard down to his knee He never did marry or see a B-grade movie He graded my performance, he said he could see through me I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind Got my paper and I was free [Chorus] And I went to the doctor (Woo!), I went to the mountains I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains There's more than one answer to these questions Pointing me in a crooked line And the less I seek my source for some definitive (The less I seek my source) Closer I am to fine, yeah Closer I am to fine, yeah [Verse 4] I stopped by the bar at 3 a.m. To seek solace in a bottle, or possibly a friend And I woke up with a headache like my head against a board Twice as cloudy as I'd been the night before When I went in seeking clarity [Chorus] I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains I looked to the children, I drank from the fountain And we go to the doctor, we go to the mountains And we look to the children, and we drink from the fountain Yeah, we go to the Bible, and we go through the workout And we read up on revival, and we stand up for the lookout There's more than one answer to these questions Pointing me in a crooked line And the less I seek my source for some definitive (The less I seek my source) Closer I am to fine Closer I am to fine Closer I am to fine, yeah
