Have you ever wondered why the last thing on your mind
Is the first thing that goes under when you fall behind
Ain't it just like a midnight comet, like a spirit from on far
To find you down and lonesome, blindly wishing on a star
No matter how much wishing, how much lust or how much greed
The only thing you ever get is exactly what you need
When that road has gotten rocky around another hairpin turn
Just like the smell of freedom when that fire begins to burn
When all your luck has run out and all your friends have left your side
And all the saints and soldiers have defected or have died
No matter how much wishing, how much lust or how much greed
The only thing you ever get is exactly what you need
