But does anyone hear the music they play
Does anyone even try?
We're going all the way 'til the wheels fall off and burn
Don't trust me to show you beauty; When beauty may only turn to rust.
Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer; It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.
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.
All he believes are his eyes, And his eyes, they just tell him lies
I must admit I felt a little uneasy; When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
While my conscience explodes; The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
And I, I don't mind the pain; Don't mind the driving rain; I know I will sustain; 'Cause I believe in you.
You're gonna have to serve somebody.
For I know that you know that I know that you know; Something is tearing up your mind.
We're both just one too many mornings; An' a thousand miles behind.
You have explained every mystery.; What can I do for You?
Now the moon is almost hidden; The stars are beginning to hide; The fortunetelling lady; Has even taken all her things inside
Well, you're so bad and nasty; But I love you, yes I do
Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder
You can't get to glory by the raising and the lowering of no flag.; Put your goodness next to God's and it comes out like a filthy rag.
Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed; Dignity never been photographed
Well, if I had to do it all over again,; Babe, I'd do it all over you.
there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden
Well the desert is hot, the mountain is cursed,; Pray that I don't die of thirst,; Baby, two feet from the well.
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
I don't know why I love her but I just can't stop
She says, "What'll it be?"; I say, "I don't know, you got any soft boiled eggs?"
Junk is piling up, taking up space
My conscience is beginning to bother me today.
Now, don't crowd me, lady; Or I'll fill up your shoe
Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted
I couldn't see where we were goin'; But you said you knew an' I took your word
Turn your back, wash your hands,; There's always someone who understands
And the words that are used; For to get the ship confused; Will not be understood as they're spoken.
If you're a doctor, I need a shot of love.
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.
The sky is erupting, I must go where it's quiet.
Build a fire, throw on logs; And listen to it hiss; And let it burn, burn, burn, burn; On a night like this.
You'd better do somethin' quick; She's your lover now.
Don't follow leaders; Watch the parkin' meters
The angels play on their horns all day,; The whole earth in progression seems to pass by.; But does anyone hear the music they play,; Does anyone even try?
People carry roses
Make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her
Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift
Betrayed by a kiss on a cool night of bliss; In the valley of the missing link
But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency
I'm listening to Neil Young, I gotta turn up the sound; Someone's always yelling turn it down
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.
The country music station plays soft; but there's nothing, really nothing, to turn off
People tell me it's a sin; To know and feel too much within.
