Primal Scream - The Centre Cannot Hold

You want to know how it feels to be free You crave a glimpse of eternity (oh oh) A prisoner of consensual reality It's hard to fit in when you feel so strange Suppressed emotions mark a chemical change (oh oh) Locked down to your soul Lovers drown each other Trying to save their wretched souls Falling ever further 'cause the centre cannot hold Shrinks and gurus sell you spiritual junk This self-obsession is a rich man's curse (oh oh) You've got karma to burn Searching for meaning but the meaning is lost You'll try to buy it whatever the cost (oh oh) Keep on chasing the wind Lovers drown each other Trying to save their wretched souls Falling ever further 'Cause the centre cannot hold No one knows another We can see only what they show Hidden depths might harbour Sacred monsters The centre cannot hold The centre cannot hold The centre cannot hold The centre cannot hold The centre cannot hold The centre cannot hold
