Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed
I hear that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.
Now, I can't go back to what was, baby,;
I can't unring the bell.
Do you ever wonder just what God requires?;
You think He's just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires.
You're gonna have to serve somebody.
I couldn't see where we were goin';
But you said you knew an' I took your word
Cities on fire, phones out of order
It's the last temptation;
The last account;
The last time you might hear the sermon on the mount,;
The last radio is playing.
I'm going back to New York City;
I do believe I've had enough
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.
It's too bright a light, he said, "For anybody's eyes,;
If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."
Our conversation was short and sweet;
It nearly swept me off-a my feet.
People carry roses
Make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her
Now I wish I could write you a melody so plain;
That could hold you dear lady from going insane
The treasure can't be found by men who search
Hot chili peppers in the blistering sun
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,;
Should I leave them by your gate,;
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
All I really want to do,;
Is, baby, be friends with you.
Darkness at the break of noon
The party's over, and there's less and less to say
Have I surrendered to the will of God;
Or am I still acting like the boss?
And I, I don't mind the pain;
Don't mind the driving rain;
I know I will sustain;
'Cause I believe in you.
Well, You've done it all and there's no more anyone can pretend to do.;
What can I do for You?
Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
But the magician is quicker and his game;
Is much thicker than blood and blacker than ink
I was in a whirlwind, now I'm in some better place.
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.
When I'm all alone;
In the great unknown,;
I'll remember you.
