All he believes are his eyes, And his eyes, they just tell him lies
Always on the outside of whatever side there was,;
When they asked him why it had to be that way, "Well," he answered, "just because."
We always did feel the same,;
We just saw it from a different point of view
Well, You've done it all and there's no more anyone can pretend to do.;
What can I do for You?
to live outside the law, you must be honest
He got an all girl orchestra and when he says;
"Strike up the band," they hit it
I wouldn't be ashamed to be seen with you anywhere.
Everybody's wearing a disguise;
To hide what they've got left behind their eyes
if every bone in his body was broken he would never admit it
In the home of the brave
Jefferson turnin’ over in his grave
I got new eyes ;
Everything looks far away
Down the highway, down the tracks, down the road to ecstasy,;
I followed you beneath the stars, hounded by your memory,;
And all your ragin' glory.
I'm going out of my mind;
With a pain that stops and starts
I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies;
I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,;
And the dust of rumors covers me.
I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech
Won't you descend from the throne, from where you sit?
Go 'way from my window,;
Leave at your own chosen speed.
I was all right 'til I fell in love with you
Lost time is not found again
Do you ever wonder just what God requires?;
You think He's just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires.
All I really want to do,;
Is, baby, be friends with you.
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',;
But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
What looks large from a distance,;
Close up ain't never that big.
Oh, baby, that god you been prayin' to;
Is gonna give ya back what you're wishin' on someone else
Just what do you think you have to guard?
The world of illusion is at my door
I wish that for just one time;
You could stand inside my shoes;
You'd know what a drag it is;
To see you
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells;
I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
