Drinkin' man listens to the voice he hears;
In a crowded room full of covered up mirrors;
Lookin' into the lost forgotten years;
For dignity
People disagreeing everywhere you look,;
Makes you wanna stop and read a book.
Cities on fire, phones out of order
No time to suffer or blink;
And no time to think
I was all right 'til I fell in love with you
Gon' walk on down until I'm right beside the sun;
I'm gonna have to put up a barrier to keep myself away from everyone.
Gon' walk on down that dirt road 'til I'm right beside the sun
your pleasure knows no limits
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
Well, you're so bad and nasty;
But I love you, yes I do
Goodnight, my love, may the lord have mercy on us all.
Well it's way past midnight and there are people all around;
Some on their way up, some on their way down
Lovin' you is the one thing I'll never regret.
Don't trust me to show you the truth;
When the truth may only be ashes and dust.
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.
All the people we used to know;
Are an illusion to me now
Don't have to look no further, you're the soul of many things.
Today on the countryside it was a-hotter than a crotch
I just want you to know;
I can see through your masks
Too many thoughts get in the way in the day
Junk is piling up, taking up space
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast;
Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last.
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
You could ride like Annie Oakley,;
You could shoot like Belle Starr.
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.
I can change, I swear, oh, oh,;
See what you can do.;
I can make it through,;
You can make it too.
I'm going back to New York City;
I do believe I've had enough
I'm walking through streets that are dead
