I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too";
He said, "You're not Him"
The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder
Gonna sleep down in the parlor;
And relive my dreams
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
I'd never say;
That I done it the way;
That you'd have liked me to.
your pleasure knows no limits
The man in me will hide sometimes to keep from bein' seen,;
But that's just because he doesn't want to turn into some machine.
Those are the hills of hell-fire my love;
Where you and I will unite
You got a lotta nerve;
To say you are my friend
Don't you know there's nothing new that's under the sun?;
Well, there ain't no man righteous, no not one.
He said, Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?;
I said, I got no money. He said, That ain't necessary.
I'm going out of my mind;
With a pain that stops and starts
That long black cloud is comin' down
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,;
And the dust of rumors covers me.
Now, when I was just a bawlin' child,;
I saw what I wanted to be
Everybody's doin' something,;
I heard it in a dream,;
But when there's too much of nothing,;
It just makes a fella mean.
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.
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
Not one more night, not one more kiss,;
Not this time baby, no more of this,;
Takes too much skill, takes too much will,;
It's revealing.
The treasure can't be found by men who search
Your magnetic movements;
Still capture the minutes I'm in.
Have I surrendered to the will of God;
Or am I still acting like the boss?
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past;
I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
Trees that've stood for a thousand years suddenly will fall.
Everybody must get stoned.
Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift
All the laughter is just making me sad
I'm going back to New York City;
I do believe I've had enough
I hear that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.
