The night passed away so quickly;
It always does when you're with me.
If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise, remind me to show you the, scars.
People carry roses
Make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
Done so many evil things in the name of love, it's a crying shame;
I never did see no fire that could put out a flame.
I can tell you fancy, I can tell you plain;
You give something up for everything you gain
Don’t think twice, it’s all right
He said, Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?;
I said, I got no money. He said, That ain't necessary.
I fought with my twin, that enemy within, 'til both of us fell by the way.
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
to live outside the law, you must be honest
Handy dandy, he got a basket of flowers and a bag full or sorrow
Well, it's always been my nature to take chances;
My right hand drawing back while my left hand advances
Silver and gold;
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
Don't have to look no further, you're the soul of many things.
I stood unwound beneath the skies;
And clouds unbound by laws.
You think you can hide but you're never alone,;
Ask Lot what he thought when his wife turned to stone.
On the rising curve,;
Where the ways of nature will test every nerve,;
You won't get anything you don't deserve,;
Where we were born in time.
I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down
We never thought we could ever get old.;
We thought we could sit forever in fun
My conscience is beginning to bother me today.
But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency,;
All non-believers and men stealers talkin' in the name of religion
I seen the kingdoms of the world and it's makin' me feel afraid.
The treasure can't be found by men who search
I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies;
I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
I was in your presence for an hour or so;
Or was it a day? I truly don't know.
Gonna take dancing lessons do the jitterbug rag;
Ain't no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag;
Only a fool in here would think he's got anything to prove
