as long as the world keeps a-turnin', I just keep a-turnin' too.
I'm walking through streets that are dead
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
Oh, some of us'll end up;
In St. Cloud Prison,;
And some of us'll wind up, To be lawyers and things
All I feel is heat and flame and all I see are dark eyes.
I don't need no alibi when I'm spending time with you.;
I've heard all of them rumors and you have heard 'em too.
Well, he can be fascinating, he can be dull,;
He can ride down Niagara Falls in the barrels of your skull.
When the last rays of daylight go down;
Buddy, you'll roll no more;
I can hear the church bells ringing in the yard;
I wonder who they're ringing for
I was just too stubborn to ever be governed by enforced insanity
In the home of the brave
Jefferson turnin’ over in his grave
I stood unwound beneath the skies;
And clouds unbound by laws.
Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
Those are the hill of heaven, my love;
You and I'll never know
Lovin' you is the one thing I'll never regret.
I've been walking through the middle of nowhere;
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
Turn your back, wash your hands,;
There's always someone who understands
Let me ask you one question;
Is your money that good
As the last fire truck from hell;
Goes rolling by, all good people are praying
I don't want to fake you out
Don't the moon look good, mama, Shinin' through the trees?
We grew up together;
From the cradle to the grave;
We died and were reborn;
And then mysteriously saved.
And every time you get this close;
It makes me want to scream
I gotta go;
Find out something only dead men know
I'll remember you;
At the end of the trail,;
I had so much left to do,;
I had so little time to fail.
I see people who are supposed to know better standin' around like furniture.
Handy dandy, he got a basket of flowers and a bag full or sorrow
I'm already there in my mind;
And that's good enough for now
