I want to tell you about something special I want to tell you what makes men need I think I'm talking 'bout what we all get into I think I'm talking 'bout love & greed You can take it anyway but take it at your own speed 'Cause you wouldn't be the first to fall to love & greed A man in love gonna take to wanting A greedy man gonna do the same One is a man before congratulations One gonna make you feel the need to blame You say there's a difference but look once again When you're living on the tastes of a different man Love and greed are one and the same A man in love willing to walk through fire A greedy man like a moth to a flame A man in love willing to go half crazy A greedy man likely to go insane You can take it anyway but take it at your own speed 'Cause you wouldn't be the first to fall to love & greed So the trap's been set and you've took the bait You saw it all go down just a little too late But now you're hooked and to your surprise You saw how some of it was real and some was lies But you're in too deep 'cause you care too much And there's never been a cure for that as such You could see prison bars or call it home sweet home But like it or not you're no longer alone A man in love don't know what he's doing A greedy man always says he does A man in love sold his soul up the river That's where a greedy man's soul always was You can take it anyway but take it at your own speed 'Cause you wouldn't be the first to fall to love & greed © 1993 Blues Traveler Pub.

like a moth to a flame Moths will often circle around lighted objects - light bulbs and open flames - because they typically guide themselves by the moon, keeping it at a constant angle for navigation.sold his soul up the river The expression "sold down the river" (not up, as written here) is a reference to the days of slavery in the United States, when slaves who were less desirable were sold to the sugar plantations - backbreaking work by any standard - further down the Mississippi River. Nowadays, to be "sold down the river" means to be exploited or betrayed. |
