Who shared a brand new point of view

No angel wings, no fairy dust
Just the rush of lust, but it's all right
And though this place is far from heavenly –
No golden throne, the ecstasy
Is just temporary, but it's all right
It's all right
I think I found
I think I found
I think I found some kind of –
