Well, I got a harmonica job, begun to play,;
Blowin' my lungs out for a dollar a day.
The man in me will hide sometimes to keep from bein' seen,;
But that's just because he doesn't want to turn into some machine.
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take;
To find dignity
We sat in an empty theater and we kissed,;
I asked ya please to cross me off-a your list.
Has the record been breaking,;
Did the needle just skip
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation;
There are no words that need to be said
Well, he can be fascinating, he can be dull,;
He can ride down Niagara Falls in the barrels of your skull.
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',;
But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
goodbye's too good a word, gal;
so I'll just say fare thee well
If dogs run free, why not me;
Across the swamp of time?
Cities on fire, phones out of order
Those are the hills of hell-fire my love;
Where you and I will unite
the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
If I had wings and I could fly,;
I know where I would go.
Wealth is a filthy rag;
So erotic so unpatriotic;
So wrapped up in the American flag
Turn your back, wash your hands,;
There's always someone who understands
Time is all I have to give
When He rose from the dead, did they believe?
people don’t live or die, people just float
That long black cloud is comin' down
to live outside the law, you must be honest
Never could learn to drink that blood;
And call it wine
I hear that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.
If there's a poor boy on the street,;
Then let him have my seat;
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
Did I miss the mark or;
Over-step the line;
That only you could see?
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting;
That's hanging in the Louvre
What makes the wind wanna blow tonight?
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours
Just like you I'm wondrin' what I'm doin' here.;
Just like you I'm wondrin' what's goin' on.
Not one more night, not one more kiss,;
Not this time baby, no more of this,;
Takes too much skill, takes too much will,;
It's revealing.
