But even the president of the United States, Sometimes must have, To stand naked.
goodbye's too good a word, gal;
so I'll just say fare thee well
Love is so simple, to quote a phrase,;
You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days.
Well, you're on your own, you always were,;
In a land of wolves and thieves.
Whatever you wanted;
Slipped out of my mind
You know, the streets are filled with vipers;
Who've lost all ray of hope,;
You know, it ain't even safe no more;
In the palace of the Pope.
Don't the moon look good, mama, Shinin' through the trees?
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
Lay down your weary tune, lay down,;
Lay down the song you strum,;
And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings;
No voice can hope to hum.
I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down
don't criticize;
what you can't understand.
I can tell you fancy, I can tell you plain;
You give something up for everything you gain
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,;
Should I leave them by your gate,;
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
Here is your throat back;
Thanks for the loan
It's all been designed, he said, "To make you lose your mind,;
And when you go back to find it, there's nothing there to find."
There's always some new stranger sneakin' glances,;
Some trigger-happy fool willin' to take chances
It's many a guard;
That stands around smilin',;
Holdin' his club;
Like he was a king.
As the last fire truck from hell;
Goes rolling by, all good people are praying
I'm walking through streets that are dead
Well, you're so bad and nasty;
But I love you, yes I do
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
How did I meet you? I don't know.
I'll see you later when I'm not so out of my head,;
Maybe next time I'll let the dead bury the dead.
Shall I hold you close?;
Or Shall I let you go by?;
Tell me.;
Tell me.
It's the last temptation;
The last account;
The last time you might hear the sermon on the mount,;
The last radio is playing.
she's true, like ice, like fire
Ever since you walked right in, the circle's been complete
In order to deal in this game, got to make the queen disappear,;
It's done with a flick of the wrist.
