How did I meet you? I don't know.
In the day of confession;
We cannot mock a soul.;
Oh, when there's too much of nothing,;
No one has control.
My children will go, As soon as they grow.;
Well, there ain't nothing here now to hold them.
I'm in the streets;
With the tombstone blues
For the loser now;
Will be later to win
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin,;
Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in.
I fought with my twin, that enemy within, 'til both of us fell by the way.
Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road
Darkness at the break of noon
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
I couldn't see where we were goin';
But you said you knew an' I took your word
They say ev'rything can be replaced
You say my kisses are not like his,;
But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is.
That long black cloud is comin' down
Well, there's voices in the night trying to be heard;
I'm sitting here listening to every mind polluting word
There are those who worship loneliness, I'm not one of them
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,;
All the pigeons gonna run to him.
Can't you hear that motor turnin'?;
Automobile comin' into style
I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down
It was then that I got up to leave;
But she said, "Don't forget,;
Everybody must give something back;
For something they get."
People disagreeing on all just about everything, yeah,;
Makes you stop and all wonder why.
Was that the thunder that I heard?;
My head is vibrating, I feel a sharp pain
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
Ain't no reason to go anywhere.
When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things that remain?
I don't mind a reasonable amount of trouble
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.
Junk is piling up, taking up space
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.
