The grass looked greener on the other side   So I tried to, snatch myself from your hand   Caught a boat to anywhere but Nineveh   And, well you know, I got spit back on dry land.    Verse 1:   Give me purity and give me continence   But oh no, not yet.   Like a coin hiding in the corner   Trying not to be swept   And I was trying not to be swept.      Kicking against these goads   Sure did cut up my feet   And didn't your hands get bloody   As you washed them clean (you washed them!),      Chorus:   Here I am again, back where I began   Try as I may I can't get away from you   And all of these roads lead me to roam,   Bring me back home.   Here I am again, back where I began.      Verse 2:   So you have yourself your ninety nine (ninety nine),   Isn't that enough for you?   Still you followed me to the shadowed valley   Carried me on your shoulders too.      I've done the work of Sisyphus   Thinking that I could get over this hill   But the one thing I can't get over now...(is the)   Is the force of your will.      Chorus x2
