Well I don't dare close my eyes and I don't dare wink;
Maybe in the next life I'll be able to hear myself think
Never could learn to drink that blood;
And call it wine
The way is long but the end is near, Already the fiesta has begun
I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
It's mighty funny;
the end of time has just begun
It was true that in his later years he would not carry a gun;
"I'm around too many children," he'd say, "they should never know of one."
I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech
I don't wanna be hers, I wanna be yours.
Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down
All the laughter is just making me sad
Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial
Not one more night, not one more kiss,;
Not this time baby, no more of this,;
Takes too much skill, takes too much will,;
It's revealing.
For the loser now;
Will be later to win
Well, you're so bad and nasty;
But I love you, yes I do
Won't you come with me, baby?;
I'll take you where you wanna go.;
And if it don't work out, You'll be the first to know
Put my tears in a bottle
Screw the top on tight
They say ev'rything can be replaced
Then she says, "I know you're an artist, draw a picture of me!";
I say, "I would if I could, but, ;
I don't do sketches from memory."
I'm listening to Neil Young, I gotta turn up the sound;
Someone's always yelling turn it down
The drinks are ready and the dogs are going to war
It's so impossible to even learn the tune.
My feet are so tired, my brain is so wired
I'm in the streets;
With the tombstone blues
What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this?
We pointed out the way to go;
And scratched your name in sand,;
Though you just thought it was nothing more;
Than a place for you to stand.
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.;
Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
The world of illusion is at my door
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke
