Took a stranger to teach me, to look into justice's beautiful face;
And to see an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy
What was it you wanted;
When you were kissing my check?
I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech
Now at midnight all the agents;
And the superhuman crew;
Come out and round up everyone;
That knows more than they do
If your mem'ry serves you well,;
You'll remember you're the one;
That called on me to call on them;
To get you your favors done.
Shall I hold you close?;
Or Shall I let you go by?;
Tell me.;
Tell me.
You don't want a love that's pure;
You wanna drown love;
You want a watered-down love
Pain sure brings out the best in people, doesn't it?
I couldn't see where we were goin';
But you said you knew an' I took your word
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.
Everybody's doin' something,;
I heard it in a dream,;
But when there's too much of nothing,;
It just makes a fella mean.
The vagabond who's rapping at your door;
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
How did I meet you? I don't know.
Done so many evil things in the name of love, it's a crying shame;
I never did see no fire that could put out a flame.
You say my kisses are not like his,;
But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is.
Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love.
Well, it's always been my nature to take chances;
My right hand drawing back while my left hand advances
Well, I wake in the morning, Fold my hands and pray for rain.;
I got a head full of ideas, That are drivin' me insane.
It's mighty funny;
the end of time has just begun
Through the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales
Three fellas crawlin' on their way back to work,;
Nobody stops to ask why.
The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face
I just can't fit;
Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
Let me ask you one question;
Is your money that good
I got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles,;
I think maybe we'd better leave each other alone.
