Well, I got a harmonica job, begun to play,;
Blowin' my lungs out for a dollar a day.
Well it's way past midnight and there are people all around;
Some on their way up, some on their way down
I must be guilty of something,;
You just whisper it into my ear.
Oh, ev'ry thought that's strung a knot in my mind,;
I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung.
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
Don't follow leaders;
Watch the parkin' meters
Heart of mine be still,;
You can play with fire, But you'll get the bill
Ring them bells, for the time that flies,;
For the child that cries;
When innocence dies.
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
Those are the hills of hell-fire my love;
Where you and I will unite
I'll remember you;
At the end of the trail,;
I had so much left to do,;
I had so little time to fail.
The way is long but the end is near, Already the fiesta has begun
How long can I stay in this nowhere café
I need a steam shovel mama to keep away the dead
Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,;
Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
Handy dandy, he got a basket of flowers and a bag full or sorrow
Well my house is on fire, burning to the sky
You can pound on the President's gate;
But you oughta know by now it's gonna be too late.
The night passed away so quickly;
It always does when you're with me.
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
All the tired horses in the sun;
How'm I supposed to get any ridin' done? Hmm.
What looks large from a distance,;
Close up ain't never that big.
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.
Leaving men wholly, totally free;
To do anything they wish to do but die
Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy
For I know that you know that I know that you know;
Something is tearing up your mind.
Some things are too hot to touch;
The human mind can only stand so much
