Cities on fire, phones out of order
Sooner or later, one of us must know;
That I really did try to get close to you
I need a steam shovel mama to keep away the dead
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.
Tell her she can look me up if she's got the time.
Somebody's got to find your trail,;
I guess it must be up to me.
I can tell you fancy, I can tell you plain;
You give something up for everything you gain
Now, I can't go back to what was, baby,;
I can't unring the bell.
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past;
I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
Well, if I had to do it all over again,;
Babe, I'd do it all over you.
she's true, like ice, like fire
The treasure can't be found by men who search
When there is no more,;
You cut to the core;
Quicker than anyone I knew.
What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this?
My love she speaks like silence
They like to take all this money from sin, build big universities to study in;
Sing Amazing Grace all the way to the Swiss banks
She knows where I'd like to be;
But it doesn't matter.
Yes, I know now, traps are only set by me;
And I do not really need to be;
Assured that love is just a four-letter word
if every bone in his body was broken he would never admit it
He looks so truthful, is this how he feels;
Trying to peel the moon and expose it
People ask about you;
I didn't tell them everything I knew
You cast your spell and I went under,;
I find it so difficult to leave.
Lost time is not found again
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',;
But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
Ever since you walked right in, the circle's been complete
I'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to me
Now the rainman gave me two cures,;
Then he said, "Jump right in.";
The one was Texas medicine,;
The other was just railroad gin.
I can change, I swear, oh, oh,;
See what you can do.;
I can make it through,;
You can make it too.
Oh, baby, that god you been prayin' to;
Is gonna give ya back what you're wishin' on someone else
