Don't you know there's nothing new that's under the sun?;
Well, there ain't no man righteous, no not one.
And I, I don't mind the pain;
Don't mind the driving rain;
I know I will sustain;
'Cause I believe in you.
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast;
Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last.
to live outside the law, you must be honest
I looked at my watch;
I looked at my wrist;
I punched myself in the face with my fist
Everybody's doin' something,;
I heard it in a dream,;
But when there's too much of nothing,;
It just makes a fella mean.
Well, the road is rocky and the hillside's mud;
Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood
Just what do you think you have to guard?
My conscience is beginning to bother me today.
Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that it passes through
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation;
There are no words that need to be said
The night is pitch black, come an' make my;
Pale face fit into place, ah, please!
Now, I can't go back to what was, baby,;
I can't unring the bell.
I got new eyes ;
Everything looks far away
There's only one step down from here, baby,;
It's called the land of permanent bliss.
And they're breaking down the distance;
Between right and wrong.
Well my nerves are exploding and my body's tense;
I feel like the whole world got me pinned up against the fence
When they came for Him in the garden, did they know?
I can smile in the face of mankind.;
Don't even remember what her lips felt like on mine;
Most of the time.
Let me ask you one question;
Is your money that good
She's got everything she needs,;
She's an artist, she don't look back
she's true, like ice, like fire
Gonna take dancing lessons do the jitterbug rag;
Ain't no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag;
Only a fool in here would think he's got anything to prove
it is not he or she or them or it;
That you belong to.
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',;
But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed;
Dignity never been photographed
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats;
Too noble to neglect;
Deceived me into thinking;
I had something to protect
The pump don't work;
'Cause the vandals took the handles
