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
I'm going out of my mind; With a pain that stops and starts
Betrayed by a kiss on a cool night of bliss; In the valley of the missing link
Lookin' at my shadow watching the colors up above
Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
I don't know why I love her but I just can't stop
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,; Should I leave them by your gate,; Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still
Time passes slowly when you're lost in a dream.
Don't the moon look good, mama, Shinin' through the trees?
When there is no more,; You cut to the core; Quicker than anyone I knew.
I couldn't see what you could show me; Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
Now I wish I could write you a melody so plain; That could hold you dear lady from going insane
But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency
Everybody's wearing a disguise; To hide what they've got left behind their eyes
Go melt back into the night, babe,; Everything inside is made of stone.; There's nothing in here moving, An' anyway I'm not alone.
Don't you know there's nothing new that's under the sun?; Well, there ain't no man righteous, no not one.
you remind me of something that used to be; somethin' that crossed over from another century
'Twas then that I knew what he had on his mind.
Now, don't crowd me, lady; Or I'll fill up your shoe
people don’t live or die, people just float
Senor, senor, let's disconnect these cables,; Overturn these tables.; This place don't make sense to me no more.
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
Thought I'd shaken the wonder and the phantoms of my youth
I can change, I swear, oh, oh,; See what you can do.; I can make it through,; You can make it too.
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke
Well, I try my best; To be just like I am,; But everybody wants you; To be just like them.
My head tells me it's time to make a change; But my heart is telling me I love ya but you're strange.
Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that it passes through
I must admit I felt a little uneasy; When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
If you're a doctor, I need a shot of love.
Done so many evil things in the name of love, it's a crying shame; I never did see no fire that could put out a flame.
You know, news of you has come down the line; Even before ya came in the door.; They say in your father's house, there's many mansions; Each one of them got a fireproof floor.
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
They used to grow food in Kansas; Now they want to grow it on the moon and eat it raw.; I can see the day coming when even your home garden; Is gonna be against the law.
Well, the chances are against it and the odds are slim,; That he'll live by the rules that the world makes for him
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
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
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.
I got new eyes ; Everything looks far away
Well my nerves are exploding and my body's tense; I feel like the whole world got me pinned up against the fence
The party's over, and there's less and less to say
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.
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin,; Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in.
You speak to me; In sign language; As I'm eating a sandwich
I fought with my twin, that enemy within, 'til both of us fell by the way.
It's all been designed, he said, "To make you lose your mind,; And when you go back to find it, there's nothing there to find."
Those are the hills of hell-fire my love; Where you and I will unite
Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial
Build a fire, throw on logs; And listen to it hiss; And let it burn, burn, burn, burn; On a night like this.
It's too bright a light, he said, "For anybody's eyes,; If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."
Some things are too hot to touch; The human mind can only stand so much
Today on the countryside it was a-hotter than a crotch
So long, New York.; Howdy, East Orange.
You have explained every mystery.; What can I do for You?
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.
