If you're lookin' to get silly;
You better go back to from where you came
Nations are angry, cursed are some,;
People are expecting a false peace to come.
We're idiots, babe.;
It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves.
Searching for my double, looking for;
Complete evaporation to the core
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting;
That's hanging in the Louvre
Today on the countryside it was a-hotter than a crotch
I don't want to fake you out
We're both just one too many mornings;
An' a thousand miles behind.
She's got everything she needs,;
She's an artist, she don't look back
Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties;
Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
I finally realize there's no room for regret
When you know as well as me;
You'd rather see me paralyzed
If you get close to her, kiss her once for me
All he believes are his eyes, And his eyes, they just tell him lies
I can't provide for you no easy answers,;
Who are you that I should have to lie?
Did I miss the mark or;
Over-step the line;
That only you could see?
While my conscience explodes;
The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
Then she says, "I know you're an artist, draw a picture of me!";
I say, "I would if I could, but, ;
I don't do sketches from memory."
I see people who are supposed to know better standin' around like furniture.
May you build a ladder to the stars;
And climb on every rung.
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
Turn your back, wash your hands,;
There's always someone who understands
What drives me to you is what drives me insane.
When you think that you lost everything;
You find out you can always lose a little more
You could ride like Annie Oakley,;
You could shoot like Belle Starr.
Has the record been breaking,;
Did the needle just skip
You can make me cry;
Never say goodbye
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past;
I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
