In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection
But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency,;
All non-believers and men stealers talkin' in the name of religion
My head tells me it's time to make a change;
But my heart is telling me I love ya but you're strange.
Don't follow leaders;
Watch the parkin' meters
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory
Soon as a man is born, you know the sparks begin to fly, He gets wise in his own eyes and he's made to believe a lie.
Well, I try my best;
To be just like I am,;
But everybody wants you;
To be just like them.
No knife could ever cut our love apart
What drives me to you is what drives me insane.
Well my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
Someone else is speakin' with my mouth, but I'm listening only to my heart.
People on the platforms;
Waiting for the trains;
I can hear their hearts a-beatin';
Like pendulums swinging on chains
What was it you wanted;
When you were kissing my check?
Guess it's too late to say the things to you;
That you needed to hear me say.
Love is so simple, to quote a phrase,;
You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days.
What makes the wind wanna blow tonight?
And the words that are used;
For to get the ship confused;
Will not be understood as they're spoken.
Democracy don't rule the world,;
You'd better get that in your head.;
This world is ruled by violence;
But I guess that's better left unsaid.
She said, "Be easy, baby,;
There ain't nothin' worth stealin' in here."
And then you told me later, as I apologized;
That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,;
All the pigeons gonna run to him.
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
Darkness at the break of noon
I got nothing left to burn
Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
Those are the hills of hell-fire my love;
Where you and I will unite
Your cracked country lips,;
I still wish to kiss,;
As to be under the strength of your skin.
