I gotta go;
Find out something only dead men know
No time to suffer or blink;
And no time to think
Give ya delusions of grandeur;
And a evil eye;
Give you idea that;
You're too good to die
Just what do you think you have to guard?
The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face
Son, this ain't a dream no more, it's the real thing.
But I will be back, I will survive,;
You'll never get rid of me as long as you're alive.
It's all been designed, he said, "To make you lose your mind,;
And when you go back to find it, there's nothing there to find."
Don't you know there's nothing new that's under the sun?;
Well, there ain't no man righteous, no not one.
Tough Mama;
Can I blow a little smoke on you?
Won't you dance with me?;
I'm fallin' in love with you.
And you, you took me in,;
You loved me then;
You didn't waste time.
In the fury of the moment I can see the Master's hand;
In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand.
There are those who worship loneliness, I'm not one of them
I feel nothing for their game where beauty goes unrecognized
Oh my name it is nothin';
My age it means less
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
Don't the moon look good, mama, Shinin' through the trees?
When you know as well as me;
You'd rather see me paralyzed
If I had wings and I could fly,;
I know where I would go.
It's the last temptation;
The last account;
The last time you might hear the sermon on the mount,;
The last radio is playing.
Every brain is civilized,;
Every nerve is analyzed,;
Everything is criticized when you are in need.
Oh ev'ry foe that ever I faced
The cause was there before we came.
While my conscience explodes;
The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
That long black cloud is comin' down
You breathed on me and made my life a richer one to live,;
When I was deep in poverty you taught me how to give
Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,;
Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
This time tomorrow I'll know you better;
When my memory is not so short.
Temptation's not an easy thing
