You know, the streets are filled with vipers;
Who've lost all ray of hope,;
You know, it ain't even safe no more;
In the palace of the Pope.
If God's on our side;
He'll stop the next war.
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats;
Too noble to neglect;
Deceived me into thinking;
I had something to protect
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go;
To the valley below
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
Well, I got a harmonica job, begun to play,;
Blowin' my lungs out for a dollar a day.
If there's a poor boy on the street,;
Then let him have my seat;
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
Put my tears in a bottle
Screw the top on tight
Leaving men wholly, totally free;
To do anything they wish to do but die
And the words that are used;
For to get the ship confused;
Will not be understood as they're spoken.
My conscience is beginning to bother me today.
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down
Has the record been breaking,;
Did the needle just skip
You can make me cry;
Never say goodbye
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.
There's only one step down from here, baby,;
It's called the land of permanent bliss.
The sky is erupting, I must go where it's quiet.
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.
She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the Jack of Hearts
Are you looking at me and thinking of somebody else?
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin,;
Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in.
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
Now you stand here expectin' me to remember somethin' you forgot to say
Ring them bells, for the time that flies,;
For the child that cries;
When innocence dies.
They don't want me around;
'Cause I believe in you.
Let me ask you one question;
Is your money that good
