You can turn deserts into forests
Render diamonds down to sand
But you're far too damn immodest
And you'll never understand
How your goals and gains of glory
Wilt and wither where they will
You may make one major story
But you just can't buy a thrill
And in the morning you go running
Distancing pursuits in pain
Crafty creature full of cunning
Risky reasons in the rain
Through the trials and trite reunions
You refute the bitter pill
You may make reverent communions
But you just can't buy a thrill
You just can't buy a thrill
Never have and never will
You can cry to close the deal
But you just can't buy a thrill
Can't buy a thrill
