Curt Smith - Reach Out Lyrics

So many things you said last night

In your attempt to be forthright

How certain things are meant to be

If it's of benefit to me



This moments really celestine

You said "I'm not sure what that means"

But kept this to myself

Lest I intrude on your sincerity



And you said

Go reach out and find yourself

Go reach out and find yourself



I fail to understand these pearls

Of abject generosity

They're all that they appear to be

A conscience sold for precious words



The meat of your philosophy

Of TV talk show homily

Was heaven is within us all

I couldn't help but think your heaven must be very small



So I said

Go reach out and find yourself

Go reach out and find yourself



God could I use a drink or a cigarette

Since you're refusing to think

Guess we'd better get high

It's been a while

Thanks for being so frank I gotta go

You wear your candor and rank

Like a new trophy bride

It's back in style



I felt your need to share some more

I felt the pressure knock my door

Thank god for wood and all it's strength

The power to keep you at arms length



So I said



Go reach out and find yourself

Go reach out and find yourself



Go reach out and find yourself

Go reach out and f*ck yourself
