lirik lagu bob bennett - joy deep as sorrow

i want good to come after me
half as relentlessly
as trouble does … like a curse
i want health to protect me
invade and infect me
like disease does … but in reverse

i want sweetness and light
to keep me up all night
happy hours p-ssing without sleep
as sharp as a knife
i want love in this life
to cut me fast … cut me deep
i’d like to see good fortune
paint a target on my back
i want laughter to stage
a surprise attack

one fine day
maybe two or three in a row
blessings lined up
waiting to become the status quo
i don’t want to be unfaithful
but i really want to know
is there a joy deep as sorrow?

the story is told
from the days of old
about the sad fate of humankind
how at some prenatal stage
or accountable age
we’re all h-ll-bent in heart and mind
we used to call it sin
but now we’re not so sure
seems when everybody’s god
then there’s no need for a cure … or …

one fine day
maybe two or three in a row
blessings lined up
ready to become the status quo
i don’t want to be unfaithful
but i really want to know
is there a joy deep as sorrow?

joy deep as sorrow
pleasure as potent as pain
stable as an earthquake
harmless as a hurricane
inmates freed from the asylum
at long last everybody driven sane
by a joy as deep as sorrow

what if ecstasy
reinvented me
so little children would point and smile
what if misery
were like the lottery
all my losing tickets in a pile
an avalanche of plat-tudes
better left unsaid
when that which does not k!ll me
makes me wish that i was dead

every day that i am walking
it’s always something new
i want to step in a pile of good
and leave it on my shoe …

one fine day
maybe two or three in a row
one fine day
a joy deep as sorrow
