And the words that are used;
For to get the ship confused;
Will not be understood as they're spoken.
Now, when I was just a bawlin' child,;
I saw what I wanted to be
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me,;
See like me or be like me.
I don't want to fake you out
the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that it passes through
You could ride like Annie Oakley,;
You could shoot like Belle Starr.
Well, they're not showing any lights tonight;
And there's no moon.
there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden
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.
It's so impossible to even learn the tune.
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats;
Too noble to neglect;
Deceived me into thinking;
I had something to protect
If dogs run free, why not me;
Across the swamp of time?
I must admit I felt a little uneasy;
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
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.
She said, "Be easy, baby,;
There ain't nothin' worth stealin' in here."
But the magician is quicker and his game;
Is much thicker than blood and blacker than ink
Your loyalty is not to me;
But to the stars above
I'm T-boned and punctured;
But I'm known to be calm
All he believes are his eyes, And his eyes, they just tell him lies
I'm goin' down to Tennessee,;
Get me a truck 'r somethin'.;
Gonna save my money and rip it up!
People are crazy and times are strange
She got a weird sense of humor that's all her own
She still lives inside of me, we've never been apart.
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation;
There are no words that need to be said
My children will go, As soon as they grow.;
Well, there ain't nothing here now to hold them.
I don't mind a reasonable amount of trouble
Oh the fishes will laugh;
As they swim out of the path;
And the seagulls they'll be smiling.
