I can smile in the face of mankind.;
Don't even remember what her lips felt like on mine;
Most of the time.
The world of illusion is at my door
When I met you, baby,;
You didn't show no visible scars.
There's always some new stranger sneakin' glances,;
Some trigger-happy fool willin' to take chances
Are you looking at me and thinking of somebody else?
You're so damn nonchalant;
But it's your mind that I want.
In the home of the brave, Jefferson turnin' over in his grave
'Twas then that I knew what he had on his mind.
Pain sure brings out the best in people, doesn't it?
And now the heart is filled with gold;
As if it was a purse.;
But, oh, what kind of love is this;
Which goes from bad to worse?
It's for myself and my friends my stories are sung.
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
But I will be back, I will survive,;
You'll never get rid of me as long as you're alive.
I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still
Something there is about you that brings back a long forgotten truth
We're idiots, babe.;
It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves.
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast;
Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last.
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours
Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,;
Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
I was just too stubborn to ever be governed by enforced insanity
Oh, man has invented his doom, First step was touching the moon.
I got a poison headache,;
But I feel all right
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
I am hanging in the balance, of the reality of man;
like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand
We're going all the way 'til the wheels fall off and burn
Down the highway, down the tracks, down the road to ecstasy,;
I followed you beneath the stars, hounded by your memory,;
And all your ragin' glory.
Roses are red, violets are blue;
And time is beginning to crawl
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
