Keep Me Satisfied

(album: Emotions In Motion - 1982)

Early in the morning I'm laying on my bed
Sticking to the rhythm of the music in my head
Rocking in the mirror...rolling out the door
Hop into the car and put the pedal to the floor
Calling out your number--I'll take you for a ride
Find something to keep me satisfied

Running for the money...laying out the green
It's a tax accountant's nightmare--it's a rock 'n roll dream
The income may be different but the outcome's still the same
You'll never be a winner boy until you play the game
Hounded to distraction...racing to and fro
Losing my direction keeping up my status quo
Now I tried tried tried tried
It just don't seem to keep me satisfied

A hundred-thousand miles in a 747
Take it all in style if you wanna get to heaven
Chasing all the action every single night
Never understand it but you try to do it right
Ragged 'round the edges...none the worse for wear
Cutting all the corners but they never get me there
Now I try try try try
It just don't seem to keep me satisfied
