You don't want a love that's pure; You wanna drown love; You want a watered-down love
For the loser now; Will be later to win
What happened to the real you, you've been captured but by whom?
Everybody's doin' something,; I heard it in a dream,; But when there's too much of nothing,; It just makes a fella mean.
Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
My so-called friends have fallen under a spell.; They look me squarely in the eye and they say, "All is well."; Can they imagine the darkness that will fall from on high; When men will beg God to kill them and they won't be able to die?
Wallflower, wallflower; Take a chance on me.; Please let me ride you home.
Last night I danced with a stranger; But she just reminded me you were the one
I'm in a cowboy band
Don't the moon look good, mama, Shinin' through the trees?
Ain't no reason to go anywhere.
Never could learn to drink that blood; And call it wine
Can't you make any sound?
I can tell you fancy, I can tell you plain; You give something up for everything you gain
You could make me cry if you don't know.
You can pound on the President's gate; But you oughta know by now it's gonna be too late.
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
I don't mind a reasonable amount of trouble
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours
Too many thoughts get in the way in the day
You say my kisses are not like his,; But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is.
I've been hit too hard, I've seen too much; Nothing can heal me now, but your touch
I got new eyes ; Everything looks far away
Turn your back, wash your hands,; There's always someone who understands
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail,; Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail,; Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn.
It ain't my cup of meat.
Don't know if I saw you, if I would kiss you or kill you; It probably wouldn't matter to you anyhow
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore; You may not see me tomorrow.
The vagabond who's rapping at your door; Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
Lay down your weary tune, lay down,; Lay down the song you strum,; And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings; No voice can hope to hum.
If God's on our side; He'll stop the next war.
Don't have to look no further, you're the soul of many things.
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.
Was that the thunder that I heard?; My head is vibrating, I feel a sharp pain
Reality has always had too many heads
What looks large from a distance,; Close up ain't never that big.
Now, don't crowd me, lady; Or I'll fill up your shoe
The man in me will hide sometimes to keep from bein' seen,; But that's just because he doesn't want to turn into some machine.
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind; You could have done better but I don't mind; You just kinda wasted my precious time
You're gonna have to serve somebody.
Well, he can be fascinating, he can be dull,; He can ride down Niagara Falls in the barrels of your skull.
The sun's not yellow it's chicken
Yesterday everything was going too fast; Today, it's moving too slow
Let the wind blow low, let the wind blow high.; One day the little boy and the little girl were both baked in a pie.
I see people who are supposed to know better standin' around like furniture.
How does it feel
Now, I can't go back to what was, baby,; I can't unring the bell.
Won't you dance with me?; I'm fallin' in love with you.
He said his name was Columbus; I just said, "Good luck."
The treasure can't be found by men who search
You'd better do somethin' quick; She's your lover now.
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
Your cracked country lips,; I still wish to kiss,; As to be under the strength of your skin.
