Now there's spiritual warfare and flesh and blood breaking down.;
Ya either got faith or ya got unbelief and there ain't no neutral ground.
I stood unwound beneath the skies;
And clouds unbound by laws.
Today on the countryside it was a-hotter than a crotch
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation;
There are no words that need to be said
I'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to me
When destruction cometh swiftly;
And there's no time to say a fare-thee-well,;
Have you decided whether you want to be;
In heaven or in hell?
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
I need a steam shovel mama to keep away the dead
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that it passes through
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss.
Everything passes,;
Everything changes,;
Just do what you think you should do.
I was in a whirlwind, now I'm in some better place.
Every brain is civilized,;
Every nerve is analyzed,;
Everything is criticized when you are in need.
If you want to live easy
Baby pack your clothes with mine
Don't trust me to show you the truth;
When the truth may only be ashes and dust.
Your cracked country lips,;
I still wish to kiss,;
As to be under the strength of your skin.
You can't get to glory by the raising and the lowering of no flag.;
Put your goodness next to God's and it comes out like a filthy rag.
Boys in the street beginning to play;
Girls like birds flying away
Without freedom of speech, I might be in the swamp.
The truth was obscure, too profound and too pure, to live it you have to explode.
We grew up together;
From the cradle to the grave;
We died and were reborn;
And then mysteriously saved.
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
Thought I'd shaken the wonder and the phantoms of my youth
That's how it is when things disintegrate
If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise, remind me to show you the, scars.
Don't know if I saw you, if I would kiss you or kill you;
It probably wouldn't matter to you anyhow
That long black cloud is comin' down
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke
