But does anyone hear the music they play
Does anyone even try?
If you get close to her, kiss her once for me
Goodnight, my love, may the lord have mercy on us all.
I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies;
I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
Those are the hills of hell-fire my love;
Where you and I will unite
What was it you wanted;
When you were kissing my check?
I couldn't see what you could show me;
Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
This time tomorrow I'll know you better;
When my memory is not so short.
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
Nations are angry, cursed are some,;
People are expecting a false peace to come.
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
Well, there's voices in the night trying to be heard;
I'm sitting here listening to every mind polluting word
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line,;
Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine.
Now, a very great man once said;
That some people rob you with a fountain pen.;
It didn't take too long to find out;
Just what he was talkin' about.
I'll remember you;
At the end of the trail,;
I had so much left to do,;
I had so little time to fail.
Well I don't dare close my eyes and I don't dare wink;
Maybe in the next life I'll be able to hear myself think
Oh the fishes will laugh;
As they swim out of the path;
And the seagulls they'll be smiling.
I seen the kingdoms of the world and it's makin' me feel afraid.
Well it's way past midnight and there are people all around;
Some on their way up, some on their way down
Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues;
You can tell by the way she smiles
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting;
That's hanging in the Louvre
Some things in life, it gets too late to learn
I don't mind a reasonable amount of trouble
I need a dump truck mama to unload my head
When he died I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious
You should be made;
To wear earphones
The drinks are ready and the dogs are going to war
