The Pleasures

Well he thought his life would be perfect
If he were a billionaire
He could do whatever he wanted
And live without a care
He could buy himself a great big house
With a heated swimming pool
Feast on gourmet lobster
But he was a fool
Because possessions don't make us happy
They only feed us for a while
Well, it's love and understanding
That truly make us smile
The baser pleasures well they blow the mind away
But it's the pleasures of the mind and soul
That are here to stay
It's a moment of time in your memory
That you can always call to mind
It's an image of a perfect world
That you hold down deep inside
It's about love in a spiritual state of mind
The baser pleasures well they blow the mind away
But it's the pleasures of the mind and soul
That are here to stay
Well, he thought his life would be awesome
If he were really rich
But his friends they'd only want some
And his wife became a w-
If she only lived him for his money
Well he had whatever he wanted
To satisfy any desire
But his soul would be haunted
If he put out that fire
The baser pleasures well they blow the mind away
But it's the pleasures of the mind and soul
That are here to stay
The baser pleasures blow the mind away
But it's the pleasures of the mind and soul
