We're both just one too many mornings;
An' a thousand miles behind.
You know, the streets are filled with vipers;
Who've lost all ray of hope,;
You know, it ain't even safe no more;
In the palace of the Pope.
You can't get to glory by the raising and the lowering of no flag.;
Put your goodness next to God's and it comes out like a filthy rag.
Those are the hills of hell-fire my love;
Where you and I will unite
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.;
Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore;
You may not see me tomorrow.
Oh, ev'ry thought that's strung a knot in my mind,;
I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung.
What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood
They got him on conspiracy, they were never sure who with.
I don't know why I love her but I just can't stop
Seen the arrow on the doorpost;
Saying, "This land is condemned;
All the way from New Orleans;
To Jerusalem."
And, when I was through;
I filled up my shoe;
And brought it to you.
Shall I hold you close?;
Or Shall I let you go by?;
Tell me.;
Tell me.
If there's a poor boy on the street,;
Then let him have my seat;
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
Go melt back into the night, babe,;
Everything inside is made of stone.;
There's nothing in here moving, An' anyway I'm not alone.
She said, "Be easy, baby,;
There ain't nothin' worth stealin' in here."
This is the key to the kingdom and this is the town;
This is the blind horse that leads you around
I got a poison headache,;
But I feel all right
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.
Now you stand here expectin' me to remember somethin' you forgot to say
Now, when I was just a bawlin' child,;
I saw what I wanted to be
I must admit I felt a little uneasy;
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
Can't you make any sound?
Your magnetic movements;
Still capture the minutes I'm in.
Satan whispers to ya, "Well, I don't want to bore ya,;
But when ya get tired of the Miss So-and-so I got another woman for ya."
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,;
That we could sit simply in that room again.
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
I can tell you fancy, I can tell you plain;
You give something up for everything you gain
In order to deal in this game, got to make the queen disappear,;
It's done with a flick of the wrist.
