We were born to be our own destroyers
That's how the universe ends
We build our temples
We burn 'em down, and start all over again
You and me were meant to be together
I hope we still remain friends
When every day's
Another heartbreak
For causes we can't defend
Desire
Desire
Preaching to the choir
The truth is it's a liar
Hand in hand we're on the great adventure
To Paradise we set sail
We will find God
See what he's doing
And watch him chase his own tail
We were born to question all the answers
We know the truth lies within
So tell me why we're never satisfied
It's the ultimate sin
Desire
Desire
Preaching to the choir
The truth is it's a liar
The wedding's tomorrow
It looks like rain
The mother of sorrows
Is gonna change her name:
(Desire, Desire, Desire, Desire)
Take all your teachers
Grab all the preachers
And wash their mouths out with soap.
Take Mom and Dad
They're just as bad
It's like they're all smoking dope
They got this song
They always singing
Just like a chorus of loons:
All we need is more!
That's all they ask for
So they're never in tune
Desire
Desire
Preaching to the choir
The truth is it's a liar
Desire
Desire
Preaching to the choir
The truth is it's a liar
Desire
Desire
Preaching to the Choir
The truth is it's a liar.
