Handy dandy, he got a basket of flowers and a bag full or sorrow
Oh it's rush hour now;
On the wheel and the plow;
And the sun is going down;
Upon the sacred cow.
It's all been designed, he said, "To make you lose your mind,;
And when you go back to find it, there's nothing there to find."
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
It's many a guard;
That stands around smilin',;
Holdin' his club;
Like he was a king.
I'm hungry and I'm irritable;
And I'm tired of this bag of tricks.;
At one time there was nothing wrong with me;
That you could not fix.
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,;
And the dust of rumors covers me.
I like the cool way you look at me,;
Everything about you is bringing me;
Misery.
Wiggle 'til you're high, wiggle 'til you're higher,;
Wiggle 'til you vomit fire
Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line,;
Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine.
I wasn't born to lose you.
I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
We heard the Sermon on the Mount and I knew it was too complex,;
It didn't amount to anything more than what the broken glass reflects.
While my conscience explodes;
The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
Well, he can be fascinating, he can be dull,;
He can ride down Niagara Falls in the barrels of your skull.
He bought me with a price,;
Freed me from the pit,;
Full of emptiness and wrath;
And the fire that burns in it.
to live outside the law, you must be honest
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
Soon as a man is born, you know the sparks begin to fly, He gets wise in his own eyes and he's made to believe a lie.
Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,;
Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
Whatever you gonna do,;
Please do it fast.
Can't you hear that motor turnin'?;
Automobile comin' into style
He got an all girl orchestra and when he says;
"Strike up the band," they hit it
My love she speaks like silence
Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed;
Dignity never been photographed
Seen the arrow on the doorpost;
Saying, "This land is condemned;
All the way from New Orleans;
To Jerusalem."
I just can't fit;
Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
I gotta go;
Find out something only dead men know
You breathed on me and made my life a richer one to live,;
When I was deep in poverty you taught me how to give
