But I will be back, I will survive,;
You'll never get rid of me as long as you're alive.
We heard the Sermon on the Mount and I knew it was too complex,;
It didn't amount to anything more than what the broken glass reflects.
In the hills of mystery,;
In the foggy web of destiny,;
You can have what's left of me,;
Where we were born in time.
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go;
To the valley below
Wiggle 'til you're high, wiggle 'til you're higher,;
Wiggle 'til you vomit fire
Wallflower, wallflower;
Take a chance on me.;
Please let me ride you home.
If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry,;
What good am I?
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.
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
Drinkin' man listens to the voice he hears;
In a crowded room full of covered up mirrors;
Lookin' into the lost forgotten years;
For dignity
Everything passes,;
Everything changes,;
Just do what you think you should do.
We grew up together;
From the cradle to the grave;
We died and were reborn;
And then mysteriously saved.
All the people we used to know;
Are an illusion to me now
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells;
I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
No time to suffer or blink;
And no time to think
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency
That long black cloud is comin' down
The night is pitch black, come an' make my;
Pale face fit into place, ah, please!
Your loyalty is not to me;
But to the stars above
Three fellas crawlin' on their way back to work,;
Nobody stops to ask why.
Well I don't dare close my eyes and I don't dare wink;
Maybe in the next life I'll be able to hear myself think
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
You don't need a weather man;
To know which way the wind blows
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke
Ain't no reason to go anywhere.
Gonna sleep down in the parlor;
And relive my dreams
I can't help it if I'm lucky.
Every time you leave and go off someplace,;
Things fall to pieces in my face
Now, don't crowd me, lady;
Or I'll fill up your shoe
Whatever you gonna do,;
Please do it fast.
But the magician is quicker and his game;
Is much thicker than blood and blacker than ink
She said, "Be easy, baby,;
There ain't nothin' worth stealin' in here."
Oh what dear daughter 'neath the sun;
Would treat a father so,;
To wait upon him hand and foot;
And always tell him, "No"?
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.
People ask about you;
I didn't tell them everything I knew
Run your fingers down my spine;
Bring me a touch of bliss
Do you know where we're headin'?;
Lincoln County Road or Armageddon?
Every day of the year's like playin' Russian roulette
I'll give you more gold;
Than your apron can hold;
If you'll only let your hair hang low
It's too bright a light, he said, "For anybody's eyes,;
If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."
What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this?
Well, I try my best;
To be just like I am,;
But everybody wants you;
To be just like them.
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore;
You may not see me tomorrow.
I got a poison headache,;
But I feel all right
Senor, senor, let's disconnect these cables,;
Overturn these tables.;
This place don't make sense to me no more.
If you're lookin' to get silly;
You better go back to from where you came
I got nothing left to burn
You say my kisses are not like his,;
But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is.
People disagreeing everywhere you look,;
Makes you wanna stop and read a book.
Oh ev'ry foe that ever I faced
The cause was there before we came.
What good am I if I know and don't do,;
I If I see and don't say, if I look right through you
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
A saxophone someplace far off played
Your temperature's too hot for taming
I wish that for just one time;
You could stand inside my shoes;
You'd know what a drag it is;
To see you
Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues;
You can tell by the way she smiles
I don't need no alibi when I'm spending time with you.;
I've heard all of them rumors and you have heard 'em too.
