Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy
Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
goodbye's too good a word, gal;
so I'll just say fare thee well
I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
There's only one step down from here, baby,;
It's called the land of permanent bliss.
My children will go, As soon as they grow.;
Well, there ain't nothing here now to hold them.
And the words that are used;
For to get the ship confused;
Will not be understood as they're spoken.
I couldn't see what you could show me;
Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
The country music station plays soft;
but there's nothing, really nothing, to turn off
If he needs a third eye he just grows it
It was then that I got up to leave;
But she said, "Don't forget,;
Everybody must give something back;
For something they get."
Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,;
Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
I'm walking through streets that are dead
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.
Every day of the year's like playin' Russian roulette
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.
I'll give you more gold;
Than your apron can hold;
If you'll only let your hair hang low
She said, "Be easy, baby,;
There ain't nothin' worth stealin' in here."
What drives me to you is what drives me insane.
I wasn't born to lose you.
Precious angel, you believe me when I say;
What God has given to us no man can take away.
Will I ever learn that there'll be no peace, that the war won't cease;
Until He returns?
And then you told me later, as I apologized;
That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
Democracy don't rule the world,;
You'd better get that in your head.;
This world is ruled by violence;
But I guess that's better left unsaid.
You'd better do somethin' quick;
She's your lover now.
An' here I sit so patiently;
Waiting to find out what price;
You have to pay to get out of;
Going through all these things twice.
What kind of sign they need when it all come from within
All the people we used to know;
Are an illusion to me now
