I couldn't see where we were goin';
But you said you knew an' I took your word
This is the key to the kingdom and this is the town;
This is the blind horse that leads you around
Do you ever wonder just what God requires?;
You think He's just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires.
Well, they're not showing any lights tonight;
And there's no moon.
Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
It's mighty funny;
the end of time has just begun
Everything passes,;
Everything changes,;
Just do what you think you should do.
They said it was the land of milk and honey,;
now they say it's the land of money.;
Who ever thought they could ever make that stick.
My head tells me it's time to make a change;
But my heart is telling me I love ya but you're strange.
Every day of the year's like playin' Russian roulette
don't criticize;
what you can't understand.
I don't need no alibi when I'm spending time with you.;
I've heard all of them rumors and you have heard 'em too.
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder
Now, I can't go back to what was, baby,;
I can't unring the bell.
I'm hungry and I'm irritable;
And I'm tired of this bag of tricks.;
At one time there was nothing wrong with me;
That you could not fix.
Has the record been breaking,;
Did the needle just skip
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
Never could learn to drink that blood;
And call it wine
Does she know I still care?
Time passes slowly when you're lost in a dream.
I been hangin’ on threads
I been playin’ it straight
Now, I’ve just got to cut loose
Before it gets late
Son, this ain't a dream no more, it's the real thing.
When we meet again;
Introduced as friends;
Please don't let on that you knew me when;
I was hungry and it was your world.
What looks large from a distance,;
Close up ain't never that big.
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.;
Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
If I ever lose her I will go insane;
I go half crazy when she calls my name
If there's a poor boy on the street,;
Then let him have my seat;
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
