I hear that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.
Give me a string bean, I'm a hungry man.
All I feel is heat and flame and all I see are dark eyes.
I must admit I felt a little uneasy;
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
I'm in the streets;
With the tombstone blues
She's got everything she needs,;
She's an artist, she don't look back
I'm going out of my mind;
With a pain that stops and starts
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
But I mean no harm nor put fault, On anyone that lives in a vault, But it's alright, Ma, if I can't please him.
Yes, I see you on your window ledge;
But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,;
Should I leave them by your gate,;
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection
Ain't no reason to go anywhere.
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours
Now the rainman gave me two cures,;
Then he said, "Jump right in.";
The one was Texas medicine,;
The other was just railroad gin.
When the last rays of daylight go down;
Buddy, you'll roll no more;
I can hear the church bells ringing in the yard;
I wonder who they're ringing for
Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy
Gon' walk on down until I'm right beside the sun;
I'm gonna have to put up a barrier to keep myself away from everyone.
If you're lookin' to get silly;
You better go back to from where you came
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously;
But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
Yes, I know now, traps are only set by me;
And I do not really need to be;
Assured that love is just a four-letter word
Drinkin' man listens to the voice he hears;
In a crowded room full of covered up mirrors;
Lookin' into the lost forgotten years;
For dignity
Not one more night, not one more kiss,;
Not this time baby, no more of this,;
Takes too much skill, takes too much will,;
It's revealing.
It was true that in his later years he would not carry a gun;
"I'm around too many children," he'd say, "they should never know of one."
Well, I don't have to be no doctor, babe,;
To see that you're madly in love.
I thought somehow that I would be spared this fate
This is the key to the kingdom and this is the town;
This is the blind horse that leads you around
Just do your thing, you'll be king;
If dogs run free.
