So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.
I gotta go;
Find out something only dead men know
You're the other half of what I am, you're the missing piece
It's many a guard;
That stands around smilin',;
Holdin' his club;
Like he was a king.
But I will be back, I will survive,;
You'll never get rid of me as long as you're alive.
In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection
I'm T-boned and punctured;
But I'm known to be calm
My head tells me it's time to make a change;
But my heart is telling me I love ya but you're strange.
How can I explain?;
Oh, it's so hard to get on
Satan whispers to ya, "Well, I don't want to bore ya,;
But when ya get tired of the Miss So-and-so I got another woman for ya."
Was that the thunder that I heard?;
My head is vibrating, I feel a sharp pain
Through the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales
Those are the hills of hell-fire my love;
Where you and I will unite
This is the key to the kingdom and this is the town;
This is the blind horse that leads you around
Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy
It was then that I got up to leave;
But she said, "Don't forget,;
Everybody must give something back;
For something they get."
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
She said, "Be easy, baby,;
There ain't nothin' worth stealin' in here."
She says, "What'll it be?";
I say, "I don't know, you got any soft boiled eggs?"
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,;
Should I leave them by your gate,;
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder
Give me a string bean, I'm a hungry man.
In the day of confession;
We cannot mock a soul.;
Oh, when there's too much of nothing,;
No one has control.
The way is long but the end is near, Already the fiesta has begun
There are those who worship loneliness, I'm not one of them
Don't you cry and don't you die and don't you burn
Do I need your permission to turn the other cheek?;
If you can read my mind, why must I speak?
I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch.
