You could ride like Annie Oakley,;
You could shoot like Belle Starr.
Well, they're not showing any lights tonight;
And there's no moon.
When the last rays of daylight go down;
Buddy, you'll roll no more;
I can hear the church bells ringing in the yard;
I wonder who they're ringing for
Yes, I see you on your window ledge;
But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge
Not one more night, not one more kiss,;
Not this time baby, no more of this,;
Takes too much skill, takes too much will,;
It's revealing.
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
you remind me of something that used to be;
somethin' that crossed over from another century
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.
May you have a strong foundation;
When the winds of changes shift
What happened to the real you, you've been captured but by whom?
When they came for Him in the garden, did they know?
We sat in an empty theater and we kissed,;
I asked ya please to cross me off-a your list.
People tell me it's a sin;
To know and feel too much within.
You're gonna have to serve somebody.
Do you ever wonder just what God requires?;
You think He's just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires.
Leaving men wholly, totally free;
To do anything they wish to do but die
'Cause he doesn't tell you jokes or fairy tales, say he's got no style.
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.
Put your body next to mine;
And keep me company,;
There is plenty a room for all,;
So please don't elbow me.
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
Wallflower, wallflower;
Take a chance on me.;
Please let me ride you home.
Do I need your permission to turn the other cheek?;
If you can read my mind, why must I speak?
Pain sure brings out the best in people, doesn't it?
Don't follow leaders;
Watch the parkin' meters
Now, when I was just a bawlin' child,;
I saw what I wanted to be
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously;
But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
as long as the world keeps a-turnin', I just keep a-turnin' too.
The party's over, and there's less and less to say
I'm sick of love but I'm in the thick of it
