I thought somehow that I would be spared this fate
I'm walking through streets that are dead
It ain't my cup of meat.
There's only one step down from here, baby,; It's called the land of permanent bliss.
Oh ev'ry foe that ever I faced
The cause was there before we came.
Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial
Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
Nations are angry, cursed are some,; People are expecting a false peace to come.
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
You could ride like Annie Oakley,; You could shoot like Belle Starr.
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
Don't you know there's nothing new that's under the sun?; Well, there ain't no man righteous, no not one.
I'm going out of my mind; With a pain that stops and starts
What happened to the real you, you've been captured but by whom?
Just what do you think you have to guard?
I am hanging in the balance, of the reality of man; like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand
Any day now, any day now,; I shall be released.
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."
I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down
We're going all the way 'til the wheels fall off and burn
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.
But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency
I don't wanna be hers, I wanna be yours.
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
People are crazy and times are strange
And, when I was through; I filled up my shoe; And brought it to you.
Praise be to Nero's Neptune; The Titanic sails at dawn; And everybody's shouting; Which Side Are You On?
People disagreeing on all just about everything, yeah,; Makes you stop and all wonder why.
the cops don't need you; and man they expect the same
goodbye's too good a word, gal; so I'll just say fare thee well
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore; You may not see me tomorrow.
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.
If the bible is right, the world will explode
Whatever you wanted; Slipped out of my mind
Are you looking at me and thinking of somebody else?
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
I'm in love with the Ugliest Girl in the World
We always did feel the same,; We just saw it from a different point of view
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
I got new eyes ; Everything looks far away
May you always know the truth; And see the lights surrounding you.
I don't know why I love her but I just can't stop
You're gonna have to serve somebody.
Too many thoughts get in the way in the day
You could make me cry if you don't know.
And they're breaking down the distance; Between right and wrong.
The treasure can't be found by men who search
I still can remember the way that you smiled
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.
My head tells me it's time to make a change; But my heart is telling me I love ya but you're strange.
He said his name was Columbus; I just said, "Good luck."
I've already ripped out the phones, honey.; You can't walk the streets in a war
I was all right 'til I fell in love with you
Lovin' you is the one thing I'll never regret.
I don't need any reminder; To know how much I really care
