Lyrics

More Than NothingWatching flesh on the t.v. screen
Pitching pleasure in a sultry scene
Skin as perfect as the vacuum out in space
A rigid fire
Of bare desire
That fascination swells this race

Dashing in a frenzied heat before our teens
We indulge the urge but don't know what it means

And we want
And we need
It's urgent primal greed
It's said we live to breed but it's
Dramatic
Deceiving
Ecstatic
Bereaving
It's not the fabled path to enlightenment
It won't pay the bills when the money's spent
It's a fleeting sigh or a pregnant touch
A little more than nothing or much too much

Fielding choices in decisive games
Calling sex and death by different names
Pick it over with a spineless fine-toothed comb
That great old pastime
Could be the last time
It's risky even safe at home

Daring ruin with our calculating wills
We still tempt the fates for momentary thrills

'Cause we want
And we need
It's urgent primal greed
It's said we live to breed but we

Rarely grasp without a doubt
All our guesses force nothing out
Two bodies moving fast or slow
Fluids draining in the afterglow
It's hardly knowledge but from what we know it's

Dramatic
Deceiving
Ecstatic
Bereaving
It's not the fabled path to enlightenment
It won't pay the bills when the money's spent
It's a fleeting sigh or a pregnant touch
A little more than nothing or much too much

Daring ruin with our calculating wills
We still tempt the fates for momentary thrills

'Cause we want
And we need
It's urgent primal greed
It's said we live to breed but it's
Dramatic
Deceiving
Ecstatic
Bereaving
It's not the fabled path to enlightenment
It won't pay the bills when the money's spent
It's a fleeting sigh or a pregnant touch
A little more than nothing or much too much

A little more than nothing
A little more than nothing
