Lookin' at my shadow watching the colors up above
May you build a ladder to the stars;
And climb on every rung.
How long can I stay in this nowhere café
So long, New York.;
Howdy, East Orange.
You're gonna have to serve somebody.
Look into infinity, all you see is trouble.
Oh, some of us'll end up;
In St. Cloud Prison,;
And some of us'll wind up, To be lawyers and things
All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
People tell me it's a sin;
To know and feel too much within.
This time tomorrow I'll know you better;
When my memory is not so short.
Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
I must admit I felt a little uneasy;
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
I'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to me
Now, don't crowd me, lady;
Or I'll fill up your shoe
I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too";
He said, "You're not Him"
If you're lookin' to get silly;
You better go back to from where you came
He looks so truthful, is this how he feels;
Trying to peel the moon and expose it
I feel nothing for their game where beauty goes unrecognized
I don't need no alibi when I'm spending time with you.;
I've heard all of them rumors and you have heard 'em too.
I hear that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.
And, when I was through;
I filled up my shoe;
And brought it to you.
He said his name was Columbus;
I just said, "Good luck."
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,;
All the pigeons gonna run to him.
I'm T-boned and punctured;
But I'm known to be calm
Some things last longer than you think they will;
There are some kind of things you can never kill
I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings, And I've never been too impressed.
Now, a very great man once said;
That some people rob you with a fountain pen.;
It didn't take too long to find out;
Just what he was talkin' about.
My conscience is beginning to bother me today.
When I met you, baby,;
You didn't show no visible scars.
