And then you told me later, as I apologized; That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
Lot of water under the bridge, Lot of other stuff too; Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through
Someone else is speakin' with my mouth, but I'm listening only to my heart.
Everything passes,; Everything changes,; Just do what you think you should do.
Does she know I still care?
there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden
People disagreeing on all just about everything, yeah,; Makes you stop and all wonder why.
What looks large from a distance,; Close up ain't never that big.
Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder
All he believes are his eyes, And his eyes, they just tell him lies
Could you ever be true?
I'm in the streets; With the tombstone blues
'Cause he doesn't tell you jokes or fairy tales, say he's got no style.
What was it you wanted; When you were kissing my check?
Well, if I had to do it all over again,; Babe, I'd do it all over you.
You cast your spell and I went under,; I find it so difficult to leave.
One of these days and it won't be long; Going down in the valley and sing my song; I will sing it loud and sing it strong; Let the echo decide if I was right or wrong
The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face
And every time you get this close; It makes me want to scream
Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line,; Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine.
Your loyalty is not to me; But to the stars above
Ain't no reason to go anywhere.
My feet are so tired, my brain is so wired
Through the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales
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."
Gonna sleep down in the parlor; And relive my dreams
I like the cool way you look at me,; Everything about you is bringing me; Misery.
I'll remember you; At the end of the trail,; I had so much left to do,; I had so little time to fail.
No time to suffer or blink; And no time to think
Can't you hear that motor turnin'?; Automobile comin' into style
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
I fought with my twin, that enemy within, 'til both of us fell by the way.
Don't follow leaders; Watch the parkin' meters
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,; All the pigeons gonna run to him.
She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the Jack of Hearts
Well, you're on your own, you always were,; In a land of wolves and thieves.
As the last fire truck from hell; Goes rolling by, all good people are praying
I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.
Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer; It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.
Heart of mine be still,; You can play with fire, But you'll get the bill
Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
Look into infinity, all you see is trouble.
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
Too many thoughts get in the way in the day
Oh it's rush hour now; On the wheel and the plow; And the sun is going down; Upon the sacred cow.
When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things that remain?
My conscience is beginning to bother me today.
Ain't complaining 'bout what I got; Seen better times, but who has not?
Are you looking at me and thinking of somebody else?
Some things are too hot to touch; The human mind can only stand so much
I want to thank You, Lord,; I just want to thank You, Lord,; Thank You, Lord.
I got new eyes ; Everything looks far away
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke,; How long must I suffer, Lord, how long must I be provoked?; Satan will give you a little taste, then he'll move in with rapid speed,; Lord keep my blind side covered and see that I don't bleed.
You're so damn nonchalant; But it's your mind that I want.
But I will be back, I will survive,; You'll never get rid of me as long as you're alive.
It's all been designed, he said, "To make you lose your mind,; And when you go back to find it, there's nothing there to find."
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
