I need a steam shovel mama to keep away the dead
Because something is happening here;
But you don't know what it is;
Do you, Mister Jones?
It's too bright a light, he said, "For anybody's eyes,;
If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."
Reality has always had too many heads
People disagreeing everywhere you look,;
Makes you wanna stop and read a book.
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.
Give me a string bean, I'm a hungry man.
Any day now, any day now,;
I shall be released.
Well my house is on fire, burning to the sky
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
Don't have to look no further, you're the soul of many things.
it is not he or she or them or it;
That you belong to.
While my conscience explodes;
The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
Well my nerves are exploding and my body's tense;
I feel like the whole world got me pinned up against the fence
I don't wanna be hers, I wanna be yours.
I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring.
She was born in spring, but I was born too late
You think you can hide but you're never alone,;
Ask Lot what he thought when his wife turned to stone.
I'm walking through streets that are dead
I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too";
He said, "You're not Him"
Well the desert is hot, the mountain is cursed,;
Pray that I don't die of thirst,;
Baby, two feet from the well.
What was it you wanted;
When you were kissing my check?
People disagreeing on all just about everything, yeah,;
Makes you stop and all wonder why.
I got nothing left to burn
Whatever you wanted;
Slipped out of my mind
I wish that for just one time;
You could stand inside my shoes;
You'd know what a drag it is;
To see you
All my friends have told me;
If I hang around with you;
That I'll go blind
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells;
I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
With haunted hearts through the heat and cold
We never thought we could ever get old
