Tough Mama;
Can I blow a little smoke on you?
All the people we used to know;
Are an illusion to me now
Junk is piling up, taking up space
While my conscience explodes;
The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously;
But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
I'd never say;
That I done it the way;
That you'd have liked me to.
Lot of water under the bridge, Lot of other stuff too;
Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through
I fought with my twin, that enemy within, 'til both of us fell by the way.
Yesterday everything was going too fast;
Today, it's moving too slow
your pleasure knows no limits
If the bible is right, the world will explode
Don't know if I saw you, if I would kiss you or kill you;
It probably wouldn't matter to you anyhow
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
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.
Wealth is a filthy rag;
So erotic so unpatriotic;
So wrapped up in the American flag
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
It's the last temptation;
The last account;
The last time you might hear the sermon on the mount,;
The last radio is playing.
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me,;
See like me or be like me.
I like the cool way you look at me,;
Everything about you is bringing me;
Misery.
Now, a very great man once said;
That some people rob you with a fountain pen.;
It didn't take too long to find out;
Just what he was talkin' about.
Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder
Everybody's doin' something,;
I heard it in a dream,;
But when there's too much of nothing,;
It just makes a fella mean.
Where black is the color, where none is the number
What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this?
The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed
I believe in the impossible, you know that I do
But I will be back, I will survive,;
You'll never get rid of me as long as you're alive.
What kind of sign they need when it all come from within
