I am hanging in the balance, of the reality of man;
like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand
That's how it is when things disintegrate
You don't need a weather man;
To know which way the wind blows
there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden
Well, he can be fascinating, he can be dull,;
He can ride down Niagara Falls in the barrels of your skull.
If he needs a third eye he just grows it
Ain't complaining 'bout what I got;
Seen better times, but who has not?
Well my nerves are exploding and my body's tense;
I feel like the whole world got me pinned up against the fence
A saxophone someplace far off played
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take;
To find dignity
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously;
But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
Well, you're so bad and nasty;
But I love you, yes I do
You got a lotta nerve;
To say you are my friend
Wiggle 'til you're high, wiggle 'til you're higher,;
Wiggle 'til you vomit fire
She's got everything she needs,;
She's an artist, she don't look back
You'd better do somethin' quick;
She's your lover now.
Can you tell me what we're waiting for, senor?
When I met you, baby,;
You didn't show no visible scars.
She said, "Be easy, baby,;
There ain't nothin' worth stealin' in here."
And, when I was through;
I filled up my shoe;
And brought it to you.
Are you looking at me and thinking of somebody else?
All the laughter is just making me sad
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory
Build a fire, throw on logs;
And listen to it hiss;
And let it burn, burn, burn, burn;
On a night like this.
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.
I don't know why I love her but I just can't stop
