Oh what dear daughter 'neath the sun;
Would treat a father so,;
To wait upon him hand and foot;
And always tell him, "No"?
Every brain is civilized,;
Every nerve is analyzed,;
Everything is criticized when you are in need.
I feel nothing for their game where beauty goes unrecognized
I can tell you fancy, I can tell you plain;
You give something up for everything you gain
Don’t think twice, it’s all right
I was in a whirlwind, now I'm in some better place.
Do you ever wonder just what God requires?;
You think He's just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires.
I've been walking through the middle of nowhere;
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
The pump don't work;
'Cause the vandals took the handles
Seen the arrow on the doorpost;
Saying, "This land is condemned;
All the way from New Orleans;
To Jerusalem."
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.
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
A saxophone someplace far off played
What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this?
How long can I stay in this nowhere café
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore;
You may not see me tomorrow.
And every time you get this close;
It makes me want to scream
We pointed out the way to go;
And scratched your name in sand,;
Though you just thought it was nothing more;
Than a place for you to stand.
The treasure can't be found by men who search
I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too";
He said, "You're not Him"
Something there is about you that brings back a long forgotten truth
Tell her she can look me up if she's got the time.
the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
I just can't fit;
Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
you remind me of something that used to be;
somethin' that crossed over from another century
You will search, babe, At any cost.;
But how long, babe, Can you search for what's not lost?
I hear that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.
Drinkin' man listens to the voice he hears;
In a crowded room full of covered up mirrors;
Lookin' into the lost forgotten years;
For dignity
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
