The J. Geils Band Sanctuary

Times are tough, frustration
Need relief, medication
Gone too far, intoxication
Fight the urge of temptation
Miles ago, no destination
Is it real, hallucination
Lose the dream, stagnation
Feel so lost, desperation

It's much too close, contamination
Love and pain, and deviation
Just suck it all, ejaculation
It's much too late, damnation

When I was young,
My mother told me,
She said, Son,
Someday everything's gonna be alright.
There's no escape,
There's no salvation,
It's much too dark for revelation.
