Well, I try my best; To be just like I am,; But everybody wants you; To be just like them.
What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this?
I'll give you more gold; Than your apron can hold; If you'll only let your hair hang low
But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency
People are crazy and times are strange
to live outside the law, you must be honest
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.; Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
It's for myself and my friends my stories are sung.
Mama, take this badge off of me
Wiggle 'til you're high, wiggle 'til you're higher,; Wiggle 'til you vomit fire
Everybody's doin' something,; I heard it in a dream,; But when there's too much of nothing,; It just makes a fella mean.
How can I explain?; Oh, it's so hard to get on
If I had wings and I could fly,; I know where I would go.
I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
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.
Whatever you gonna do,; Please do it fast.
Will I ever learn that there'll be no peace, that the war won't cease; Until He returns?
My feet are so tired, my brain is so wired
It was then that I got up to leave; But she said, "Don't forget,; Everybody must give something back; For something they get."
Maybe they'll get me and maybe they won't; But not tonight and it won't be here; There are things I could say but I don't; I know the mercy of God must be near
I don't wanna be hers, I wanna be yours.
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."
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
I got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles,; I think maybe we'd better leave each other alone.
If the bible is right, the world will explode
I couldn't see where we were goin'; But you said you knew an' I took your word
Gonna sleep down in the parlor; And relive my dreams
At dawn my lover comes to me; And tells me of her dreams; With no attempts to shovel the glimpse; Into the ditch of what each one means
Then she says, "I know you're an artist, draw a picture of me!"; I say, "I would if I could, but, ; I don't do sketches from memory."
He looks so truthful, is this how he feels; Trying to peel the moon and expose it
Democracy don't rule the world,; You'd better get that in your head.; This world is ruled by violence; But I guess that's better left unsaid.
Leaving men wholly, totally free; To do anything they wish to do but die
Well it's way past midnight and there are people all around; Some on their way up, some on their way down
Well, You've done it all and there's no more anyone can pretend to do.; What can I do for You?
I was in your presence for an hour or so; Or was it a day? I truly don't know.
Either I'm too sensitive or else I'm gettin' soft.
Let me ask you one question; Is your money that good
Well, I spied a girl and before she could leave,; "Let's go and play Adam and Eve."; I took her by the hand and my heart it was thumpin'; When she said, "Hey man, you crazy or sumpin',; You see what happened last time they started."
Just what do you think you have to guard?
Ain't no reason to go anywhere.
My love she speaks like silence
You were trying to break into another world; A world I never knew.; I always kind of wondered; If you ever made it through.
Never could learn to drink that blood; And call it wine
That long black cloud is comin' down
Louise, she's all right, she's just near; She's delicate and seems like the mirror; But she just makes it all too concise and too clear; That Johanna's not here
When you think that you lost everything; You find out you can always lose a little more
your pleasure knows no limits
Without freedom of speech, I might be in the swamp.
Well, I got a harmonica job, begun to play,; Blowin' my lungs out for a dollar a day.
Can't you make any sound?
Something there is about you that brings back a long forgotten truth
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
It's so impossible to even learn the tune.
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 see, I see lovers in the meadow; I see, I see silhouettes in the window; I watch them 'til they're gone and they leave me hanging on ; To a shadow
Are you looking at me and thinking of somebody else?
