Can't Buy A Thrill
Chasing Elation: The Price of False Fulfillment
Lyrics
Campus gone and on your own
Campus life is behind, and now you're independent
And trying to maintain
Struggling to keep up or manage
Pricilla riding, yellow and green
Pricilla, symbolic figure, is vibrant and lively
Running through your veins
Her energy affects you deeply
And you see the dresses flowing
Observing elegant clothing in motion
You know just what to say
You're confident in knowing the right words to say
So you take her back to your house
Bringing her to your home, but it's not very close
But youʼre half a mile away
Distance separates you
Always easier to take a shot
It's simpler to take a risk or chance
Standing on a hill
Being in a privileged position
Money made you happy but
Wealth provided happiness previously
You canʼt buy a thrill
But true excitement or enjoyment cannot be purchased
Taming stallions
Symbolically dealing with powerful or challenging things
Best in show and
Achieving excellence, despite the surrounding challenges
Dirt is in the air
Difficulty and struggle are present
Hand on bridle
Controlling the situation gently
Speaking slowly
Communicating slowly and deliberately
You three make a pair
A group of three fits together well
And you pull the wagon over
Stopping to claim what you've earned
To claim your reward
Pricilla, feeling uninterested or discontent, is in the backseat
Pricillaʼs in the back seat crying that sheʼs bored
You believe you don't need friends like her
You donʼt need friends like that
She's considered difficult or unpleasant
Sheʼs such a pill
Wealth previously brought happiness
Money made you happy but
But it doesn't bring genuine excitement or enjoyment
You canʼt buy a thrill
You'll find joy and contentment while relaxed outdoors
Youʼll be laughing on the lawn
Close and relaxed with friends
Grass in your toes
Until that sense of contentment diminishes
Arm in arm, with your friends
But it never completely fades
Until the feeling goes
When it's time to depart
But it never goes
Returning to the initial situation
When itʼs time to say your good-bye
An unexpected surprise awaits
To go back the way you came
Circumstances remain the same
A shock is waiting for you
Despite efforts to change them
Things will never change
Wealth previously brought happiness
No matter how hard you try
But true enjoyment cannot be purchased
To bend your will
Attempting to control your destiny
Money made you happy but
Wealth previously brought happiness
You canʼt buy a thrill
However, it cannot provide genuine excitement or enjoyment
