At the corrida we'll sit in the shade; And watch the young torero stand alone.; We'll drink tequila where our grandfathers stayed; When they rode with Villa into Torreon.
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past; I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
Your loyalty is not to me; But to the stars above
Well, you're on your own, you always were,; In a land of wolves and thieves.
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation; There are no words that need to be said
So long, New York.; Howdy, East Orange.
'Cause he doesn't tell you jokes or fairy tales, say he's got no style.
The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed
Gonna take dancing lessons do the jitterbug rag; Ain't no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag; Only a fool in here would think he's got anything to prove
And you, you took me in,; You loved me then; You didn't waste time.
For I know that you know that I know that you know; Something is tearing up your mind.
I been hangin’ on threads
I been playin’ it straight
Now, I’ve just got to cut loose
Before it gets late
Well, the road is rocky and the hillside's mud; Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood
People carry roses
Make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her
Don't know if I saw you, if I would kiss you or kill you; It probably wouldn't matter to you anyhow
Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory
I looked at my watch; I looked at my wrist; I punched myself in the face with my fist
It was gravity which pulled us down and destiny which broke us apart
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
They say ev'rything can be replaced
Go 'way from my window,; Leave at your own chosen speed.
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
I need a steam shovel mama to keep away the dead
May you build a ladder to the stars; And climb on every rung.
Well, there's voices in the night trying to be heard; I'm sitting here listening to every mind polluting word
It's many a guard; That stands around smilin',; Holdin' his club; Like he was a king.
Oh, some of us'll end up; In St. Cloud Prison,; And some of us'll wind up, To be lawyers and things
goodbye's too good a word, gal; so I'll just say fare thee well
it is not he or she or them or it; That you belong to.
Well, he can be fascinating, he can be dull,; He can ride down Niagara Falls in the barrels of your skull.
Everybody's doin' something,; I heard it in a dream,; But when there's too much of nothing,; It just makes a fella mean.
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
We grew up together; From the cradle to the grave; We died and were reborn; And then mysteriously saved.
I must admit I felt a little uneasy; When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
They don't want me around; 'Cause I believe in you.
she's true, like ice, like fire
Lot of water under the bridge, Lot of other stuff too; Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through
When we meet again; Introduced as friends; Please don't let on that you knew me when; I was hungry and it was your world.
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting; That's hanging in the Louvre
Now the rainman gave me two cures,; Then he said, "Jump right in."; The one was Texas medicine,; The other was just railroad gin.
There was music in the cafes at night; And revolution in the air.
In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection
Won't you dance with me?; I'm fallin' in love with you.
The sky is erupting, I must go where it's quiet.
Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift
Some things last longer than you think they will; There are some kind of things you can never kill
An' here I sit so patiently; Waiting to find out what price; You have to pay to get out of; Going through all these things twice.
Oh the fishes will laugh; As they swim out of the path; And the seagulls they'll be smiling.
Insanity is smashing up against my soul; You can say I was on anything but a roll; If I had a conscience, well I just might blow my top; What would I do with it anyway ; Maybe take it to the pawn shop
This is the key to the kingdom and this is the town; This is the blind horse that leads you around
All I really want to do,; Is, baby, be friends with you.
I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.
You could make me cry if you don't know.
I got a poison headache,; But I feel all right
Run your fingers down my spine; Bring me a touch of bliss
Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy
