Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,; Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,; With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,; Let me forget about today until tomorrow.
Do I need your permission to turn the other cheek?; If you can read my mind, why must I speak?
Don't trust me to show you love; When my love may be only lust.
Since every pleasure's got an edge of pain; Pay for your ticket and don't complain
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
Sooner or later, one of us must know; That I really did try to get close to you
Give ya delusions of grandeur; And a evil eye; Give you idea that; You're too good to die
While my conscience explodes; The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
Time is all I have to give
If I ever lose her I will go insane; I go half crazy when she calls my name
When the last rays of daylight go down; Buddy, you'll roll no more; I can hear the church bells ringing in the yard; I wonder who they're ringing for
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore; You may not see me tomorrow.
She's got everything she needs,; She's an artist, she don't look back
My heart's in the Highlands at the break of dawn; By the beautiful lake of the Black Swan; Big white clouds, like chariots that swing down low; Well my heart's in the Highlands; Only place left to go
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.
Everybody's wearing a disguise; To hide what they've got left behind their eyes
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
The pump don't work; 'Cause the vandals took the handles
She once was a true love of mine
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're on your own, you always were,; In a land of wolves and thieves.
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.
We sat in an empty theater and we kissed,; I asked ya please to cross me off-a your list.
Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer; It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.
You can make me cry; Never say goodbye
Down the highway, down the tracks, down the road to ecstasy,; I followed you beneath the stars, hounded by your memory,; And all your ragin' glory.
You will search, babe, At any cost.; But how long, babe, Can you search for what's not lost?
Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed; Dignity never been photographed
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
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 hate myself for lovin' you and the weakness that it showed; You were just a painted face on a trip down Suicide Road
don't criticize; what you can't understand.
Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
Lost time is not found again
I can't help it if I'm lucky.
If God's on our side; He'll stop the next war.
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
You breathed on me and made my life a richer one to live,; When I was deep in poverty you taught me how to give
Everybody's doin' something,; I heard it in a dream,; But when there's too much of nothing,; It just makes a fella mean.
I don't wanna be hers, I wanna be yours.
I got nothing left to burn
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand,; And rivers that ran through ev'ry day.
I thought somehow that I would be spared this fate
Wiggle 'til you're high, wiggle 'til you're higher,; Wiggle 'til you vomit fire
We're going all the way 'til the wheels fall off and burn
Dark Beauty; Meet me at the border late tonight
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats; Too noble to neglect; Deceived me into thinking; I had something to protect
Could you ever be true?
I was in your presence for an hour or so; Or was it a day? I truly don't know.
They say ev'rything can be replaced
You're the one I've been looking for,; You're the one that's got the key.; But I can't figure out whether I'm too good for you; Or you're too good for me.
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
Ain't complaining 'bout what I got; Seen better times, but who has not?
Gonna sleep down in the parlor; And relive my dreams
