I need a dump truck mama to unload my head
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,;
Should I leave them by your gate,;
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
Well the desert is hot, the mountain is cursed,;
Pray that I don't die of thirst,;
Baby, two feet from the well.
Gon' walk on down that dirt road 'til I'm right beside the sun
Turn your back, wash your hands,;
There's always someone who understands
Now the moon is almost hidden;
The stars are beginning to hide;
The fortunetelling lady;
Has even taken all her things inside
He bought me with a price,;
Freed me from the pit,;
Full of emptiness and wrath;
And the fire that burns in it.
She still lives inside of me, we've never been apart.
It's many a guard;
That stands around smilin',;
Holdin' his club;
Like he was a king.
I been hangin’ on threads
I been playin’ it straight
Now, I’ve just got to cut loose
Before it gets late
I've paid the price of solitude, but at last I'm out of debt.
The vagabond who's rapping at your door;
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
May you build a ladder to the stars;
And climb on every rung.
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.
Don't trust me to show you the truth;
When the truth may only be ashes and dust.
But even the president of the United States, Sometimes must have, To stand naked.
May you have a strong foundation;
When the winds of changes shift
the cops don't need you;
and man they expect the same
Something there is about you that brings back a long forgotten truth
I'd never say;
That I done it the way;
That you'd have liked me to.
Am I no longer a part of your plans or your dreams?
Any day now, any day now,;
I shall be released.
God is in heaven;
And we all want what's his;
But power and greed and corruptible seed;
Seem to be all that there is
We grew up together;
From the cradle to the grave;
We died and were reborn;
And then mysteriously saved.
Heart of mine be still,;
You can play with fire, But you'll get the bill
If I ever lose her I will go insane;
I go half crazy when she calls my name
I'm T-boned and punctured;
But I'm known to be calm
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
She said, "Be easy, baby,;
There ain't nothin' worth stealin' in here."
