All the laughter is just making me sad
Now, I can't go back to what was, baby,;
I can't unring the bell.
I feel nothing for their game where beauty goes unrecognized
Does she know I still care?
When they came for Him in the garden, did they know?
I'm walking through streets that are dead
I seen the kingdoms of the world and it's makin' me feel afraid.
Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed
take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind
I just want you to know;
I can see through your masks
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.
Oh it's rush hour now;
On the wheel and the plow;
And the sun is going down;
Upon the sacred cow.
I hear that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.
Never could learn to drink that blood;
And call it wine
Well, I got a harmonica job, begun to play,;
Blowin' my lungs out for a dollar a day.
Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain
I'll see you later when I'm not so out of my head,;
Maybe next time I'll let the dead bury the dead.
If I ever lose her I will go insane;
I go half crazy when she calls my name
I can't provide for you no easy answers,;
Who are you that I should have to lie?
That long black cloud is comin' down
Oh what dear daughter 'neath the sun;
Would treat a father so,;
To wait upon him hand and foot;
And always tell him, "No"?
My head tells me it's time to make a change;
But my heart is telling me I love ya but you're strange.
You have explained every mystery.;
What can I do for You?
We always did feel the same,;
We just saw it from a different point of view
I'd never say;
That I done it the way;
That you'd have liked me to.
Well, if I had to do it all over again,;
Babe, I'd do it all over you.
She's got everything she needs,;
She's an artist, she don't look back
When you know as well as me;
You'd rather see me paralyzed
