Try to be pure at heart, they arrest you for robbery,;
Mistake your shyness for aloofness, your shyness for snobbery
And then you told me later, as I apologized;
That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
Satan whispers to ya, "Well, I don't want to bore ya,;
But when ya get tired of the Miss So-and-so I got another woman for ya."
I got new eyes ;
Everything looks far away
Well, you're so bad and nasty;
But I love you, yes I do
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
She was born in spring, but I was born too late
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
Some things last longer than you think they will;
There are some kind of things you can never kill
Your loyalty is not to me;
But to the stars above
You were trying to break into another world;
A world I never knew.;
I always kind of wondered;
If you ever made it through.
But I will be back, I will survive,;
You'll never get rid of me as long as you're alive.
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells;
I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
The treasure can't be found by men who search
The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder
Junk is piling up, taking up space
And you, you took me in,;
You loved me then;
You didn't waste time.
What looks large from a distance,;
Close up ain't never that big.
All I feel is heat and flame and all I see are dark eyes.
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
All the people we used to know;
Are an illusion to me now
I couldn't see where we were goin';
But you said you knew an' I took your word
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
if every bone in his body was broken he would never admit it
People tell me it's a sin;
To know and feel too much within.
I can't help it if I'm lucky.
Give me a string bean, I'm a hungry man.
Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy
Everybody's doin' something,;
I heard it in a dream,;
But when there's too much of nothing,;
It just makes a fella mean.
