Sole Obsession Songtext
von Nation of Language

You promise not to run away
I promise not to overplay my card
Feign survival
I must stop limiting myself
You and your sensational soul
Slowly reframing our roles
Empty idol, strange disciple

I float across the temple grounds
Three whole years from side to side
To only seek and never find

My sole obsession
Finally, I feel it fading
Walk me home and walk away
Sole obsession
Suddenly, a different shading
Walk me home and walk away


Too far along to operate
Don′t offer me this measured attention
End the cycle
I must stop limiting myself
You and your sensational soul
Ornamentation and all
Empty idol, strange disciple

My sole obsession
Finally, I feel it fading
Walk me home and walk away
Sole obsession
Subtly, I see it changing
Walk me home and walk away

Walk me home and walk away
Yeah
Walk me home and walk away
Yeah
Walk me home and walk away
