Put my tears in a bottle
Screw the top on tight
I been hangin’ on threads
I been playin’ it straight
Now, I’ve just got to cut loose
Before it gets late
I couldn't see what you could show me;
Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed
Every time you leave and go off someplace,;
Things fall to pieces in my face
Someone else is speakin' with my mouth, but I'm listening only to my heart.
We grew up together;
From the cradle to the grave;
We died and were reborn;
And then mysteriously saved.
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
They said it was the land of milk and honey,;
now they say it's the land of money.;
Who ever thought they could ever make that stick.
Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy
If I had wings and I could fly,;
I know where I would go.
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
Well, I don't have to be no doctor, babe,;
To see that you're madly in love.
You'd better do somethin' quick;
She's your lover now.
But I mean no harm nor put fault, On anyone that lives in a vault, But it's alright, Ma, if I can't please him.
It's for myself and my friends my stories are sung.
The night is pitch black, come an' make my;
Pale face fit into place, ah, please!
No time to suffer or blink;
And no time to think
I gotta go;
Find out something only dead men know
You're the other half of what I am, you're the missing piece
the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
people don’t live or die, people just float
Do you ever wonder just what God requires?;
You think He's just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires.
Do I need your permission to turn the other cheek?;
If you can read my mind, why must I speak?
Go 'way from my window,;
Leave at your own chosen speed.
Not one more night, not one more kiss,;
Not this time baby, no more of this,;
Takes too much skill, takes too much will,;
It's revealing.
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
Put your body next to mine;
And keep me company,;
There is plenty a room for all,;
So please don't elbow me.
All I feel is heat and flame and all I see are dark eyes.
