Indigo Girls Indigo Girls - Closer to Fine Lyrics

I'm trying to tell you something about my life
Maybe give me insight between black and white
And the best thing you ever done for me is to help me take my life less seriously.
It's only life after all. Yeah.

Well, the darkness has a hunger that's insatiable,
And the lightness has a call that's hard to hear.
And I wrapped my fear around me like a blanket,
I sailed my ship of safety 'til I sank it.
I'm crawling on your shores.

CHORUS:
I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains.
There's more than one answer to these questions pointing me in a crooked line.
And unless I seek my source for some definitive,
Closer I am to fine, yeah, closer I am to fine.

Now I went to see the doctor of philosophy, with a poster of Rasputin and a beard down to his knees.
He never did marry or see a "B" grade movie.
He graded my performance, he said he could see thru me.
I spent four years, prostrate to the higher mind, got my paper and I was free.

CHORUS:
I went to the doctor----

I stopped by the bar at 3am to seek solace in a bottle or possibly a friend.
And I woke up with a headache like my head against a board, twice as cloudy as I been the night before.
And I went in seeking clarity.

CHORUS:

We go to the doctor, we go to the mountains
We look to the children, we drink from the fountains
We go to Bible, we go thru the workout
We read up on revival, we stand up for the look out.

There's more than one answer to these questions, pointing me in a crooked line.
And unless I seek my source for some definitive,
The closer I am to fine, yeah, closer I am to fine.
