Mama, take this badge off of me
Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line,;
Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine.
She knows where I'd like to be;
But it doesn't matter.
Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial
It's so impossible to even learn the tune.
Everybody must get stoned.
Well, I wake in the morning, Fold my hands and pray for rain.;
I got a head full of ideas, That are drivin' me insane.
Those are the hills of hell-fire my love;
Where you and I will unite
My conscience is beginning to bother me today.
Your loyalty is not to me;
But to the stars above
Any day now, any day now,;
I shall be released.
I don't know why I love her but I just can't stop
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood.;
He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good.
I'm going back to New York City;
I do believe I've had enough
Get the loot, don't be slow, we're gonna catch a trout
Oh ev'ry foe that ever I faced
The cause was there before we came.
Don't trust me to show you the truth;
When the truth may only be ashes and dust.
No time to suffer or blink;
And no time to think
Ain't complaining 'bout what I got;
Seen better times, but who has not?
How long can I stay in this nowhere café
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
Your magnetic movements;
Still capture the minutes I'm in.
This is the key to the kingdom and this is the town;
This is the blind horse that leads you around
Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love.
I been hangin’ on threads
I been playin’ it straight
Now, I’ve just got to cut loose
Before it gets late
Shall I hold you close?;
Or Shall I let you go by?;
Tell me.;
Tell me.
Always on the outside of whatever side there was,;
When they asked him why it had to be that way, "Well," he answered, "just because."
You can make me cry;
Never say goodbye
