Now, I can't go back to what was, baby,;
I can't unring the bell.
You lose yourself, you reappear
Do you ever wonder just what God requires?;
You think He's just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires.
For the loser now;
Will be later to win
A saxophone someplace far off played
Just do your thing, you'll be king;
If dogs run free.
If you get close to her, kiss her once for me
The country music station plays soft;
but there's nothing, really nothing, to turn off
That's how it is when things disintegrate
I don't know why I love her but I just can't stop
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,;
All the pigeons gonna run to him.
You don't need a weather man;
To know which way the wind blows
'Twas then that I knew what he had on his mind.
I hate myself for lovin' you and the weakness that it showed;
You were just a painted face on a trip down Suicide Road
I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
You're so damn nonchalant;
But it's your mind that I want.
if there's an original thought out there, I could use it right now
This is the key to the kingdom and this is the town;
This is the blind horse that leads you around
Well the desert is hot, the mountain is cursed,;
Pray that I don't die of thirst,;
Baby, two feet from the well.
You can make me cry;
Never say goodbye
Somebody's got to find your trail,;
I guess it must be up to me.
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells;
I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
No knife could ever cut our love apart
goodbye's too good a word, gal;
so I'll just say fare thee well
We pointed out the way to go;
And scratched your name in sand,;
Though you just thought it was nothing more;
Than a place for you to stand.
I don't need any reminder;
To know how much I really care
I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies;
I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder
