Ain't no reason to go anywhere.
But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency
the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go;
To the valley below
You lose yourself, you reappear
You're the other half of what I am, you're the missing piece
I stood unwound beneath the skies;
And clouds unbound by laws.
How can I explain?;
Oh, it's so hard to get on
Don’t think twice, it’s all right
Go melt back into the night, babe,;
Everything inside is made of stone.;
There's nothing in here moving, An' anyway I'm not alone.
But does anyone hear the music they play
Does anyone even try?
If you get close to her, kiss her once for me
I seen the kingdoms of the world and it's makin' me feel afraid.
Drinkin' man listens to the voice he hears;
In a crowded room full of covered up mirrors;
Lookin' into the lost forgotten years;
For dignity
You speak to me;
In sign language;
As I'm eating a sandwich
Can't you make any sound?
And every time you get this close;
It makes me want to scream
Soon as a man is born, you know the sparks begin to fly, He gets wise in his own eyes and he's made to believe a lie.
I could say that I'd be faithful, I could say it in one sweet, easy breath;
But to you that would be cruelty and to me it surely would be death.
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
I'm going back to New York City;
I do believe I've had enough
Rock me, pretty baby, rock me 'til everything gets real;
Rock me for a little while, rock me 'til there's nothing left to feel;
And I'll rock you too
I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
Some things in life, it gets too late to learn
The door has closed forevermore
If indeed there ever was a door
Took a stranger to teach me, to look into justice's beautiful face;
And to see an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
Some things are too hot to touch;
The human mind can only stand so much
People disagreeing everywhere you look,;
Makes you wanna stop and read a book.
She still lives inside of me, we've never been apart.
