And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,; And the dust of rumors covers me.
It's the ways of the flesh to war against the spirit; Twenty-four hours a day you can feel it and you can hear it; Using all the devices under the sun.
I finally realize there's no room for regret
She knows where I'd like to be; But it doesn't matter.
Gon' walk on down until I'm right beside the sun; I'm gonna have to put up a barrier to keep myself away from everyone.
Are you looking at me and thinking of somebody else?
Everybody's doin' something,; I heard it in a dream,; But when there's too much of nothing,; It just makes a fella mean.
We pointed out the way to go; And scratched your name in sand,; Though you just thought it was nothing more; Than a place for you to stand.
I believe in the impossible, you know that I do
Lot of water under the bridge, Lot of other stuff too; Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through
What kind of sign they need when it all come from within
She knows there's no success like failure; And that failure's no success at all.
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.
People are crazy and times are strange
You don't want a love that's pure; You wanna drown love; You want a watered-down love
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.; Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
They say you're usin' voodoo, I seen your feet walk by themselves
Precious angel, you believe me when I say; What God has given to us no man can take away.
And you never ask questions; When God's on your side.
When I met you, baby,; You didn't show no visible scars.
If this is love then gimme more; And more and more and more and more.
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',; But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
I got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles,; I think maybe we'd better leave each other alone.
I got nothing left to burn
I'm going out of my mind; With a pain that stops and starts
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
The world of illusion is at my door
Nations are angry, cursed are some,; People are expecting a false peace to come.
They say ev'rything can be replaced
Has the record been breaking,; Did the needle just skip
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies; I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
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.
Well, You've done it all and there's no more anyone can pretend to do.; What can I do for You?
it is not he or she or them or it; That you belong to.
Some things are too hot to touch; The human mind can only stand so much
Junk is piling up, taking up space
I'll remember you; At the end of the trail,; I had so much left to do,; I had so little time to fail.
I was in a whirlwind, now I'm in some better place.
The country music station plays soft; but there's nothing, really nothing, to turn off
Those are the hills of hell-fire my love; Where you and I will unite
he not busy being born, Is busy dying
I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
Every brain is civilized,; Every nerve is analyzed,; Everything is criticized when you are in need.
your pleasure knows no limits
My conscience is beginning to bother me today.
The night is pitch black, come an' make my; Pale face fit into place, ah, please!
Can't you make any sound?
Three fellas crawlin' on their way back to work,; Nobody stops to ask why.
And the words that are used; For to get the ship confused; Will not be understood as they're spoken.
We're both just one too many mornings; An' a thousand miles behind.
Well, I don't have to be no doctor, babe,; To see that you're madly in love.
You know, the streets are filled with vipers; Who've lost all ray of hope,; You know, it ain't even safe no more; In the palace of the Pope.
Shall I hold you close?; Or Shall I let you go by?; Tell me.; Tell me.
goodbye's too good a word, gal; so I'll just say fare thee well
