I'll see you later when I'm not so out of my head,; Maybe next time I'll let the dead bury the dead.
I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings, And I've never been too impressed.
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
It ain't my cup of meat.
I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring.
We're going all the way 'til the wheels fall off and burn
The night is pitch black, come an' make my; Pale face fit into place, ah, please!
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
Three fellas crawlin' on their way back to work,; Nobody stops to ask why.
Oh, some of us'll end up; In St. Cloud Prison,; And some of us'll wind up, To be lawyers and things
She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe; "I thought you'd never say hello," she said; "You look like the silent type."
don't criticize; what you can't understand.
Mama, take this badge off of me
I believe in the impossible, you know that I do
to live outside the law, you must be honest
I been hangin’ on threads
I been playin’ it straight
Now, I’ve just got to cut loose
Before it gets late
Roses are red, violets are blue; And time is beginning to crawl
Silver and gold; Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand,; And rivers that ran through ev'ry day.
Oh my name it is nothin'; My age it means less
All the tired horses in the sun; How'm I supposed to get any ridin' done? Hmm.
I'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to me
Love is so simple, to quote a phrase,; You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days.
I've been walking through the middle of nowhere; Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
I wasn't born to lose you.
Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift
Now, when I was just a bawlin' child,; I saw what I wanted to be
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
Because something is happening here; But you don't know what it is; Do you, Mister Jones?
I got a poison headache,; But I feel all right
He said his name was Columbus; I just said, "Good luck."
Yesterday everything was going too fast; Today, it's moving too slow
Pain sure brings out the best in people, doesn't it?
There was music in the cafes at night; And revolution in the air.
Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road
In the home of the brave, Jefferson turnin' over in his grave
Well, I don't have to be no doctor, babe,; To see that you're madly in love.
All the people we used to know; Are an illusion to me now
She says, "What'll it be?"; I say, "I don't know, you got any soft boiled eggs?"
I'll give you more gold; Than your apron can hold; If you'll only let your hair hang low
We're both just one too many mornings; An' a thousand miles behind.
Cities on fire, phones out of order
When there is no more,; You cut to the core; Quicker than anyone I knew.
Oh, the only decent thing I did when I worked as a postal clerk; Was to haul your picture down off the wall near the cage where I used to work.; Was I a fool or not to try to protect your identity?; You looked a little burned out, my friend,; I thought it might be up to me.
I seen the kingdoms of the world and it's makin' me feel afraid.
When you cease to exist, then who will you blame?; I've tried my best to love you, but I cannot play this game; Your best friend and my worst enemy is one and the same
She got a weird sense of humor that's all her own
And, when I was through; I filled up my shoe; And brought it to you.
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
Darkness at the break of noon
And every one of them words rang true; And glowed like burnin' coal; Pourin' off of every page; Like it was written in my soul from me to you
Try to be pure at heart, they arrest you for robbery,; Mistake your shyness for aloofness, your shyness for snobbery
You can make me cry; Never say goodbye
Always on the outside of whatever side there was,; When they asked him why it had to be that way, "Well," he answered, "just because."
I stood unwound beneath the skies; And clouds unbound by laws.
there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden
Some things last longer than you think they will; There are some kind of things you can never kill
