Everybody's doin' something,;
I heard it in a dream,;
But when there's too much of nothing,;
It just makes a fella mean.
Put your body next to mine;
And keep me company,;
There is plenty a room for all,;
So please don't elbow me.
Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer;
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.
I'll remember you;
At the end of the trail,;
I had so much left to do,;
I had so little time to fail.
When there is no more,;
You cut to the core;
Quicker than anyone I knew.
Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed
If dogs run free, why not me;
Across the swamp of time?
If your mem'ry serves you well,;
You'll remember you're the one;
That called on me to call on them;
To get you your favors done.
Where black is the color, where none is the number
You could make me cry if you don't know.
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me,;
See like me or be like me.
For I know that you know that I know that you know;
Something is tearing up your mind.
if every bone in his body was broken he would never admit it
Precious angel, you believe me when I say;
What God has given to us no man can take away.
He looks so truthful, is this how he feels;
Trying to peel the moon and expose it
All the people we used to know;
Are an illusion to me now
I hate myself for lovin' you and the weakness that it showed;
You were just a painted face on a trip down Suicide Road
Give me a string bean, I'm a hungry man.
Lovin' you is the one thing I'll never regret.
Roses are red, violets are blue;
And time is beginning to crawl
I see people who are supposed to know better standin' around like furniture.
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.;
Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
All the laughter is just making me sad
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
My conscience is beginning to bother me today.
She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the Jack of Hearts
Gonna take dancing lessons do the jitterbug rag;
Ain't no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag;
Only a fool in here would think he's got anything to prove
Now, a very great man once said;
That some people rob you with a fountain pen.;
It didn't take too long to find out;
Just what he was talkin' about.
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.
