Running after recognition

Instant gratification
D               C#m     F#    C#m
Silky cradle of illusion
D                 E
Immediate satisfaction (pleasure, pleasure, why?)
D               E
I want to build a castle (pleasure, pleasure, why?)

The one by which one must have

Pleasure, pleasure all of the time
D                   E
In looking for this for real life (pleasure, pleasure, why?)

Doesn't exist, I realize

D                 E
His false and artificial means (pleasure, pleasure, why?)
D             E
Isn't my reality (pleasure, pleasure, why?)
D                   C#m
Enforces a state of ennui

[Chorus]

F#    Bm    G         F#m

You may lie among your (oh eeeheeeh oh eeehoooh)

Eternal amusement
