I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
You're the other half of what I am, you're the missing piece
That long black cloud is comin' down
Tough Mama;
Can I blow a little smoke on you?
Temptation's not an easy thing
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.
Go melt back into the night, babe,;
Everything inside is made of stone.;
There's nothing in here moving, An' anyway I'm not alone.
Well, it's always been my nature to take chances;
My right hand drawing back while my left hand advances
For all eternity I think I will remember;
That icy wind that's howling in your eye.
I seen the kingdoms of the world and it's makin' me feel afraid.
And I can't let go, won't let go, and I can't let go no more.
When I met you, baby,;
You didn't show no visible scars.
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,;
Should I leave them by your gate,;
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise, remind me to show you the, scars.
Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road
He looks so truthful, is this how he feels;
Trying to peel the moon and expose it
Well, the chances are against it and the odds are slim,;
That he'll live by the rules that the world makes for him
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
My feet are so tired, my brain is so wired
I was in a whirlwind, now I'm in some better place.
Well I don't dare close my eyes and I don't dare wink;
Maybe in the next life I'll be able to hear myself think
If the bible is right, the world will explode
If there's a poor boy on the street,;
Then let him have my seat;
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
What looks large from a distance,;
Close up ain't never that big.
When He rose from the dead, did they believe?
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.
Your loyalty is not to me;
But to the stars above
Reality has always had too many heads
