I stood unwound beneath the skies;
And clouds unbound by laws.
I can change, I swear, oh, oh,;
See what you can do.;
I can make it through,;
You can make it too.
I've paid the price of solitude, but at last I'm out of debt.
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation;
There are no words that need to be said
I can't provide for you no easy answers,;
Who are you that I should have to lie?
I got nothing left to burn
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
Where black is the color, where none is the number
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.
And, when I was through;
I filled up my shoe;
And brought it to you.
Well, you're on your own, you always were,;
In a land of wolves and thieves.
Pardon, monsieur," the desk clerk says,;
Carefully removes his fez,;
"Am I hearin' you right?"
I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies;
I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
You're so damn nonchalant;
But it's your mind that I want.
Well, I try my best;
To be just like I am,;
But everybody wants you;
To be just like them.
If you're lookin' to get silly;
You better go back to from where you came
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,;
Should I leave them by your gate,;
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
If you're a doctor, I need a shot of love.
Rock me, pretty baby, rock me 'til everything gets real;
Rock me for a little while, rock me 'til there's nothing left to feel;
And I'll rock you too
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
I hear that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.
Temptation's not an easy thing
But even the president of the United States, Sometimes must have, To stand naked.
Put my tears in a bottle
Screw the top on tight
In the home of the brave
Jefferson turnin’ over in his grave
it is not he or she or them or it;
That you belong to.
You can pound on the President's gate;
But you oughta know by now it's gonna be too late.
All the laughter is just making me sad
