When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
I'm T-boned and punctured;
But I'm known to be calm
If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise, remind me to show you the, scars.
if every bone in his body was broken he would never admit it
When we meet again;
Introduced as friends;
Please don't let on that you knew me when;
I was hungry and it was your world.
A million faces at my feet;
But all I see are dark eyes
And now the heart is filled with gold;
As if it was a purse.;
But, oh, what kind of love is this;
Which goes from bad to worse?
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer;
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.
If God's on our side;
He'll stop the next war.
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.
Some things in life, it gets too late to learn
Shine your light, shine your light on me;
Ya know I just couldn't make it by myself.;
I'm a little too blind to see
Oh what dear daughter 'neath the sun;
Would treat a father so,;
To wait upon him hand and foot;
And always tell him, "No"?
May you build a ladder to the stars;
And climb on every rung.
Don't trust me to show you the truth;
When the truth may only be ashes and dust.
I don't mind a reasonable amount of trouble
Pain sure brings out the best in people, doesn't it?
Have you got some unfinished business?;
Is there something holding you back?;
Are you thinking for yourself;
Or are you following the pack?
Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,;
Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
You say my kisses are not like his,;
But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is.
My children will go, As soon as they grow.;
Well, there ain't nothing here now to hold them.
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss.
Don't the moon look good, mama, Shinin' through the trees?
This is the key to the kingdom and this is the town;
This is the blind horse that leads you around
The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face
Somethin' there is about you that I can't quite put my finger on.
