Praise be to Nero's Neptune;
The Titanic sails at dawn;
And everybody's shouting;
Which Side Are You On?
Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties;
Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
What was it you wanted;
When you were kissing my check?
Well, they're not showing any lights tonight;
And there's no moon.
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke
I am hanging in the balance, of the reality of man;
like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand
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.
Son, this ain't a dream no more, it's the real thing.
Last night I danced with a stranger;
But she just reminded me you were the one
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
Oh, some of us'll end up;
In St. Cloud Prison,;
And some of us'll wind up, To be lawyers and things
The sky is trembling, And I must leave.
Junk is piling up, taking up space
I could say that I'd be faithful, I could say it in one sweet, easy breath;
But to you that would be cruelty and to me it surely would be death.
How can I explain?;
Oh, it's so hard to get on
Put my tears in a bottle
Screw the top on tight
No time to suffer or blink;
And no time to think
I see, I see lovers in the meadow;
I see, I see silhouettes in the window;
I watch them 'til they're gone and they leave me hanging on ;
To a shadow
Now there's spiritual warfare and flesh and blood breaking down.;
Ya either got faith or ya got unbelief and there ain't no neutral ground.
Someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody
When there is no more,;
You cut to the core;
Quicker than anyone I knew.
It's mighty funny;
the end of time has just begun
I was just too stubborn to ever be governed by enforced insanity
The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face
This is the key to the kingdom and this is the town;
This is the blind horse that leads you around
People tell me it's a sin;
To know and feel too much within.
All the people we used to know;
Are an illusion to me now
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
