All he believes are his eyes, And his eyes, they just tell him lies
My children will go, As soon as they grow.;
Well, there ain't nothing here now to hold them.
When you think that you lost everything;
You find out you can always lose a little more
You could ride like Annie Oakley,;
You could shoot like Belle Starr.
All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
Go melt back into the night, babe,;
Everything inside is made of stone.;
There's nothing in here moving, An' anyway I'm not alone.
I was all right 'til I fell in love with you
Now, I can't go back to what was, baby,;
I can't unring the bell.
I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies;
I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
Won't you dance with me?;
I'm fallin' in love with you.
I'm in the streets;
With the tombstone blues
I finally realize there's no room for regret
Oh what dear daughter 'neath the sun;
Would treat a father so,;
To wait upon him hand and foot;
And always tell him, "No"?
No knife could ever cut our love apart
When you know as well as me;
You'd rather see me paralyzed
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
If you're lookin' to get silly;
You better go back to from where you came
Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood.;
He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good.
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',;
But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
A million faces at my feet;
But all I see are dark eyes
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.
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take;
To find dignity
Pardon, monsieur," the desk clerk says,;
Carefully removes his fez,;
"Am I hearin' you right?"
the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
You don't want a love that's pure;
You wanna drown love;
You want a watered-down love
The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed
She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the Jack of Hearts
The truth was obscure, too profound and too pure, to live it you have to explode.
