Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry,;
What good am I?
Now the moon is almost hidden;
The stars are beginning to hide;
The fortunetelling lady;
Has even taken all her things inside
I hear that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.
Where black is the color, where none is the number
I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea;
Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me.
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
If you get close to her, kiss her once for me
Well it's way past midnight and there are people all around;
Some on their way up, some on their way down
If you're a doctor, I need a shot of love.
Don't follow leaders;
Watch the parkin' meters
Ain't no reason to go anywhere.
If I ever lose her I will go insane;
I go half crazy when she calls my name
But is your heart made out of stone, or is it lime;
Or is it just solid rock?
Everything passes,;
Everything changes,;
Just do what you think you should do.
Temptation's not an easy thing
goodbye's too good a word, gal;
so I'll just say fare thee well
Oh, some of us'll end up;
In St. Cloud Prison,;
And some of us'll wind up, To be lawyers and things
People are crazy and times are strange
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
You were trying to break into another world;
A world I never knew.;
I always kind of wondered;
If you ever made it through.
It was true that in his later years he would not carry a gun;
"I'm around too many children," he'd say, "they should never know of one."
People disagreeing on all just about everything, yeah,;
Makes you stop and all wonder why.
I must be guilty of something,;
You just whisper it into my ear.
Now the rainman gave me two cures,;
Then he said, "Jump right in.";
The one was Texas medicine,;
The other was just railroad gin.
On the rising curve,;
Where the ways of nature will test every nerve,;
You won't get anything you don't deserve,;
Where we were born in time.
Try to be pure at heart, they arrest you for robbery,;
Mistake your shyness for aloofness, your shyness for snobbery
What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood
