I don't need any reminder;
To know how much I really care
Goodnight, my love, may the lord have mercy on us all.
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
Pain sure brings out the best in people, doesn't it?
Do you ever wonder just what God requires?;
You think He's just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires.
You can pound on the President's gate;
But you oughta know by now it's gonna be too late.
All I feel is heat and flame and all I see are dark eyes.
The world of illusion is at my door
You breathed on me and made my life a richer one to live,;
When I was deep in poverty you taught me how to give
The truth was obscure, too profound and too pure, to live it you have to explode.
We're idiots, babe.;
It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves.
Well, he can be fascinating, he can be dull,;
He can ride down Niagara Falls in the barrels of your skull.
And every time you get this close;
It makes me want to scream
People are crazy and times are strange
And the words that are used;
For to get the ship confused;
Will not be understood as they're spoken.
The country music station plays soft;
but there's nothing, really nothing, to turn off
Tell ev'rybody;
Down in ol' 'Frisco;
That Tiny Montgomery's comin';
Down to say Hello
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.
Now, a very great man once said;
That some people rob you with a fountain pen.;
It didn't take too long to find out;
Just what he was talkin' about.
Oh, man has invented his doom, First step was touching the moon.
I feel nothing for their game where beauty goes unrecognized
And you never ask questions;
When God's on your side.
Yes, I see you on your window ledge;
But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go;
To the valley below
Well, I try my best;
To be just like I am,;
But everybody wants you;
To be just like them.
What drives me to you is what drives me insane.
We always did feel the same,;
We just saw it from a different point of view
Never could learn to drink that blood;
And call it wine
She said, "Be easy, baby,;
There ain't nothin' worth stealin' in here."
