to live outside the law, you must be honest
I couldn't see what you could show me;
Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
You say you love me;
And you're thinkin' of me,;
But you know you could be wrong.
I need a steam shovel mama to keep away the dead
If there's a poor boy on the street,;
Then let him have my seat;
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
Ain't complaining 'bout what I got;
Seen better times, but who has not?
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.
she's true, like ice, like fire
Either I'm too sensitive or else I'm gettin' soft.
Well my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
Just what do you think you have to guard?
Every time you leave and go off someplace,;
Things fall to pieces in my face
They tell me revenge is sweet and from where they stand, I'm sure it is.
A saxophone someplace far off played
Tell ev'rybody;
Down in ol' 'Frisco;
That Tiny Montgomery's comin';
Down to say Hello
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
Lookin' at my shadow watching the colors up above
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me,;
See like me or be like me.
You speak to me;
In sign language;
As I'm eating a sandwich
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
But does anyone hear the music they play
Does anyone even try?
I've been walking through the middle of nowhere;
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
The night passed away so quickly;
It always does when you're with me.
Well, I asked for something to eat;
I'm hungry as a hog;
So I get brown rice, seaweed;
And a dirty hot dog
It's many a guard;
That stands around smilin',;
Holdin' his club;
Like he was a king.
Seen the arrow on the doorpost;
Saying, "This land is condemned;
All the way from New Orleans;
To Jerusalem."
Give me a string bean, I'm a hungry man.
It's for myself and my friends my stories are sung.
