You're the one I adore, come over here and give me more
I thought somehow that I would be spared this fate
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table.
If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry,;
What good am I?
People disagreeing everywhere you look,;
Makes you wanna stop and read a book.
All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift
I'll give you more gold;
Than your apron can hold;
If you'll only let your hair hang low
Well my nerves are exploding and my body's tense;
I feel like the whole world got me pinned up against the fence
They say you're usin' voodoo, I seen your feet walk by themselves
Well my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
In the hills of mystery,;
In the foggy web of destiny,;
You can have what's left of me,;
Where we were born in time.
I feel nothing for their game where beauty goes unrecognized
I got nothing left to burn
The treasure can't be found by men who search
You could ride like Annie Oakley,;
You could shoot like Belle Starr.
Don't you know there's nothing new that's under the sun?;
Well, there ain't no man righteous, no not one.
Oh ev'ry foe that ever I faced
The cause was there before we came.
Roses are red, violets are blue;
And time is beginning to crawl
It's the last temptation;
The last account;
The last time you might hear the sermon on the mount,;
The last radio is playing.
Well, you're so bad and nasty;
But I love you, yes I do
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
If I ever lose her I will go insane;
I go half crazy when she calls my name
You'd better do somethin' quick;
She's your lover now.
You're the other half of what I am, you're the missing piece
I'm already there in my mind;
And that's good enough for now
Lay down your weary tune, lay down,;
Lay down the song you strum,;
And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings;
No voice can hope to hum.
They don't want me around;
'Cause I believe in you.
