You were trying to break into another world; A world I never knew.; I always kind of wondered; If you ever made it through.
There are those who worship loneliness, I'm not one of them
I've already ripped out the phones, honey.; You can't walk the streets in a war
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
They say you're usin' voodoo, I seen your feet walk by themselves
If your mem'ry serves you well,; You'll remember you're the one; That called on me to call on them; To get you your favors done.
Soon as a man is born, you know the sparks begin to fly, He gets wise in his own eyes and he's made to believe a lie.
Let's try to get beneath the surface waste, girl,; No more booby traps and bombs,; No more decadence and charm,; No more affection that's misplaced, girl
What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood
You were snow, you were rain; You were striped, you were plain,;
Someone else is speakin' with my mouth, but I'm listening only to my heart.
My conscience is beginning to bother me today.
Now, I can't go back to what was, baby,; I can't unring the bell.
Now the moon is almost hidden; The stars are beginning to hide; The fortunetelling lady; Has even taken all her things inside
The vagabond who's rapping at your door; Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
What good am I if I say foolish things; And I laugh in the face of what sorrow brings; And I just turn my back while you silently die,; What good am I?
Some things last longer than you think they will; There are some kind of things you can never kill
Nobody feels any pain
I've been hit too hard, I've seen too much; Nothing can heal me now, but your touch
Wealth is a filthy rag; So erotic so unpatriotic; So wrapped up in the American flag
I'm going back to New York City; I do believe I've had enough
A saxophone someplace far off played
All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
People disagreeing everywhere you look,; Makes you wanna stop and read a book.
Mama, take this badge off of me
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
You can make me cry; Never say goodbye
Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
A million faces at my feet; But all I see are dark eyes
You cast your spell and I went under,; I find it so difficult to leave.
she's true, like ice, like fire
She once was a true love of mine
Then she says, "I know you're an artist, draw a picture of me!"; I say, "I would if I could, but, ; I don't do sketches from memory."
I seen the kingdoms of the world and it's makin' me feel afraid.
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
Run your fingers down my spine; Bring me a touch of bliss
Don't trust me to show you the truth; When the truth may only be ashes and dust.
Silver and gold; Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
I'm in a cowboy band
Well my nerves are exploding and my body's tense; I feel like the whole world got me pinned up against the fence
Boys in the street beginning to play; Girls like birds flying away
She's got everything she needs,; She's an artist, she don't look back
Lost time is not found again
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
Do you know where we're headin'?; Lincoln County Road or Armageddon?
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
And I can't let go, won't let go, and I can't let go no more.
And now the heart is filled with gold; As if it was a purse.; But, oh, what kind of love is this; Which goes from bad to worse?
How can I explain?; Oh, it's so hard to get on
Oh the fishes will laugh; As they swim out of the path; And the seagulls they'll be smiling.
Did I miss the mark or; Over-step the line; That only you could see?
Gon' walk on down that dirt road 'til I'm right beside the sun
If you're looking for assistance, babe,; Or if you just want some company; Or if you just want a friend you can talk to,; Honey, come and see about me.
She was born in spring, but I was born too late
Won't you come with me, baby?; I'll take you where you wanna go.; And if it don't work out, You'll be the first to know
