They say you're usin' voodoo, I seen your feet walk by themselves
They don't want me around;
'Cause I believe in you.
Lot of water under the bridge, Lot of other stuff too;
Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through
Those are the hill of heaven, my love;
You and I'll never know
At dawn my lover comes to me;
And tells me of her dreams;
With no attempts to shovel the glimpse;
Into the ditch of what each one means
For the loser now;
Will be later to win
The sky is trembling, And I must leave.
Junk is piling up, taking up space
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
My conscience is beginning to bother me today.
Without freedom of speech, I might be in the swamp.
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
It was then that I got up to leave;
But she said, "Don't forget,;
Everybody must give something back;
For something they get."
Are you looking at me and thinking of somebody else?
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
Silver and gold;
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously;
But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
I gotta go;
Find out something only dead men know
This is the key to the kingdom and this is the town;
This is the blind horse that leads you around
I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
Ever since you walked right in, the circle's been complete
It's for myself and my friends my stories are sung.
I see, I see lovers in the meadow;
I see, I see silhouettes in the window;
I watch them 'til they're gone and they leave me hanging on ;
To a shadow
he not busy being born, Is busy dying
You can't get to glory by the raising and the lowering of no flag.;
Put your goodness next to God's and it comes out like a filthy rag.
