Life, Love, Sweet Satisfaction

I took a bullet but I’ll be fine
There’s a chopper with morphine coming
I see you when I close my eyes
You’re my life, love, my sweet satisfaction
In my pocket there’s a photograph
Me and you with a pretty smile
Freaking war tore us in half
All I got is a little while

So give me some good news
Let’s talk about me and you
Tell me what you look forward to
Everything that we’re gonna do
In a world of darkness
What good have I done
If we can’t have
Life, love and sweet satisfaction

I saw a hundred streets on fire
Everybody torn and broken
I walked out of that funeral pyre
You were why I kept going
I don’t want to say the words
What really happened
But I held on tight to you
My life, love, my sweet satisfaction

It’s summer up at the lake, in the cool grass next to you
A sky full of fire flies, on a blanket of midnight blue
Hold me now and wash away what I’ve been through

And give me some good news
Let’s talk about me and you
Tell me what you look forward to
Everything we’re gonna do
My world is flames
That block out the sun
But when I say your name
I see life, love and sweet satisfaction
