What looks large from a distance,;
Close up ain't never that big.
I've already ripped out the phones, honey.;
You can't walk the streets in a war
Love is so simple, to quote a phrase,;
You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days.
I was just too stubborn to ever be governed by enforced insanity
And I can't let go, won't let go, and I can't let go no more.
She once was a true love of mine
Wallflower, wallflower;
Take a chance on me.;
Please let me ride you home.
For the loser now;
Will be later to win
Well, the road is rocky and the hillside's mud;
Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood
She got a weird sense of humor that's all her own
I must admit I felt a little uneasy;
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
Now the rainman gave me two cures,;
Then he said, "Jump right in.";
The one was Texas medicine,;
The other was just railroad gin.
Just like you I'm wondrin' what I'm doin' here.;
Just like you I'm wondrin' what's goin' on.
Took a stranger to teach me, to look into justice's beautiful face;
And to see an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
I stood unwound beneath the skies;
And clouds unbound by laws.
My conscience is beginning to bother me today.
I was all right 'til I fell in love with you
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
They tell me everything is gonna be all right;
But I don't know what "all right" even means
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells;
I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
Something there is about you that brings back a long forgotten truth
Are you still my friend, baby, show me a sign
They said it was the land of milk and honey,;
now they say it's the land of money.;
Who ever thought they could ever make that stick.
Pain sure brings out the best in people, doesn't it?
Either I'm too sensitive or else I'm gettin' soft.
I must be guilty of something,;
You just whisper it into my ear.
Soon as a man is born, you know the sparks begin to fly, He gets wise in his own eyes and he's made to believe a lie.
I gotta go;
Find out something only dead men know
