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.
You got a lotta nerve;
To say you are my friend
When you think that you lost everything;
You find out you can always lose a little more
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
I hear that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.
I'll remember you;
At the end of the trail,;
I had so much left to do,;
I had so little time to fail.
Took a stranger to teach me, to look into justice's beautiful face;
And to see an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
Did I miss the mark or;
Over-step the line;
That only you could see?
The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face
The truth was obscure, too profound and too pure, to live it you have to explode.
I wish that for just one time;
You could stand inside my shoes;
You'd know what a drag it is;
To see you
And you, you took me in,;
You loved me then;
You didn't waste time.
And every time you get this close;
It makes me want to scream
I'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to me
it is not he or she or them or it;
That you belong to.
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,;
And the dust of rumors covers me.
I'm going back to New York City;
I do believe I've had enough
You can't get to glory by the raising and the lowering of no flag.;
Put your goodness next to God's and it comes out like a filthy rag.
And they're breaking down the distance;
Between right and wrong.
Now, don't crowd me, lady;
Or I'll fill up your shoe
goodbye's too good a word, gal;
so I'll just say fare thee well
I just can't fit;
Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
Pardon, monsieur," the desk clerk says,;
Carefully removes his fez,;
"Am I hearin' you right?"
He said his name was Columbus;
I just said, "Good luck."
Everybody must get stoned.
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells;
I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
Go 'way from my window,;
Leave at your own chosen speed.
Well, I wake in the morning, Fold my hands and pray for rain.;
I got a head full of ideas, That are drivin' me insane.
