By the time you get What you so badly wanted Within this world Within this life You probably won't want it anymore That is a consequence of life Of the long hallway And the time that it takes For you to commit To walking through that distant door Whatever it is By the time you get to that fame or fortune You might not even want it anymore

By the time you get What you so badly wanted Within this world Within this life You probably won't want it anymore That is a consequence of life Of the long hallway And the time that it takes For you to commit To walking through that distant door Whatever it is By the time you get to that fame or fortune You might not even want it anymore
TL;DR By the time you get the fame you desire... You probably won't want it.
