I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
Don't the moon look good, mama, Shinin' through the trees?
Temptation's not an easy thing
It's all been designed, he said, "To make you lose your mind,;
And when you go back to find it, there's nothing there to find."
Mama, take this badge off of me
Your loyalty is not to me;
But to the stars above
Just what do you think you have to guard?
No knife could ever cut our love apart
Time is all I have to give
I don't need no alibi when I'm spending time with you.;
I've heard all of them rumors and you have heard 'em too.
If you're a doctor, I need a shot of love.
I looked at my watch;
I looked at my wrist;
I punched myself in the face with my fist
I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea;
Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me.
Give ya delusions of grandeur;
And a evil eye;
Give you idea that;
You're too good to die
Guess it's too late to say the things to you;
That you needed to hear me say.
Gonna sleep down in the parlor;
And relive my dreams
Time passes slowly when you're lost in a dream.
Never could learn to drink that blood;
And call it wine
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
take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy
And, when I was through;
I filled up my shoe;
And brought it to you.
as long as the world keeps a-turnin', I just keep a-turnin' too.
Tough Mama;
Can I blow a little smoke on you?
If your mem'ry serves you well,;
You'll remember you're the one;
That called on me to call on them;
To get you your favors done.
Through the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales
Put my tears in a bottle
Screw the top on tight
He looks so truthful, is this how he feels;
Trying to peel the moon and expose it
