You speak to me;
In sign language;
As I'm eating a sandwich
I still can remember the way that you smiled
Mama, take this badge off of me
I've been walking through the middle of nowhere;
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
What was it you wanted;
When you were kissing my check?
And then you told me later, as I apologized;
That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
If this is love then gimme more;
And more and more and more and more.
No time to suffer or blink;
And no time to think
And if my thought-dreams could be seen, They'd probably put my head in a guillotine
I'd never say;
That I done it the way;
That you'd have liked me to.
I'll remember you;
When the wind blows through the piney wood.
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
Always on the outside of whatever side there was,;
When they asked him why it had to be that way, "Well," he answered, "just because."
If you're lookin' to get silly;
You better go back to from where you came
Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift
When they came for Him in the garden, did they know?
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats;
Too noble to neglect;
Deceived me into thinking;
I had something to protect
Pardon, monsieur," the desk clerk says,;
Carefully removes his fez,;
"Am I hearin' you right?"
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
Won't you descend from the throne, from where you sit?
The sky is erupting, I must go where it's quiet.
Something there is about you that brings back a long forgotten truth
Your temperature's too hot for taming
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind;
You could have done better but I don't mind;
You just kinda wasted my precious time
Put your body next to mine;
And keep me company,;
There is plenty a room for all,;
So please don't elbow me.
Thought I'd shaken the wonder and the phantoms of my youth
When destruction cometh swiftly;
And there's no time to say a fare-thee-well,;
Have you decided whether you want to be;
In heaven or in hell?
Well the desert is hot, the mountain is cursed,;
Pray that I don't die of thirst,;
Baby, two feet from the well.
