I wanted the women To go 'round the world Got the boat down to Helsinki city With boys who act like little girls Ain't quite what I pictured Ain't quite what I had in mind I realized that the closer I got that close has the taste of real cheap wine Clearly, nearly I open my eyes, but only see things barely And I can smell it but I don't get high I know it's good, but it just ain't right Ended up with a donkey When my mind was set on a horse I bargained and begged for a pony And I rode it with a fake smile on, only wanting more I've had it with just about right now Moderate won't get me no far Been through almosts, okays, in-betweens, nights, and descents But close just ain't no cigar Clearly and nearly In the corner of my eye, only works in theory And I can see it even shines a light I know it's good, but it just ain't right Clearly and nearly I open my eyes, but only see things barely And I can smell it, but I don't get high I know it's good, but it just ain't right I know it's good, but it just ain't right
