They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table.
Those are the hill of heaven, my love; You and I'll never know
Now the rainman gave me two cures,; Then he said, "Jump right in."; The one was Texas medicine,; The other was just railroad gin.
I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
You're gonna have to serve somebody.
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."
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
Pain sure brings out the best in people, doesn't it?
I don't want to fake you out
Rock me, pretty baby, rock me 'til everything gets real; Rock me for a little while, rock me 'til there's nothing left to feel; And I'll rock you too
If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry,; What good am I?
This wheel shall explode!
I was in a whirlwind, now I'm in some better place.
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.
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
Have I surrendered to the will of God; Or am I still acting like the boss?
Tell ev'rybody; Down in ol' 'Frisco; That Tiny Montgomery's comin'; Down to say Hello
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
Well my house is on fire, burning to the sky
If I ever lose her I will go insane; I go half crazy when she calls my name
Goodnight, my love, may the lord have mercy on us all.
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed,; Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features.
You're the one I adore, come over here and give me more
there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden
But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency,; All non-believers and men stealers talkin' in the name of religion
I'm goin' down to Tennessee,; Get me a truck 'r somethin'.; Gonna save my money and rip it up!
Sooner or later, one of us must know; That I really did try to get close to you
If you're lookin' to get silly; You better go back to from where you came
You say you love me; And you're thinkin' of me,; But you know you could be wrong.
I don't wanna be hers, I wanna be yours.
I'm in a cowboy band
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
Do you ever wonder just what God requires?; You think He's just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires.
Oh, the only decent thing I did when I worked as a postal clerk; Was to haul your picture down off the wall near the cage where I used to work.; Was I a fool or not to try to protect your identity?; You looked a little burned out, my friend,; I thought it might be up to me.
She knows there's no success like failure; And that failure's no success at all.
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
All I really want to do,; Is, baby, be friends with you.
The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face
Well, he can be fascinating, he can be dull,; He can ride down Niagara Falls in the barrels of your skull.
In the day of confession; We cannot mock a soul.; Oh, when there's too much of nothing,; No one has control.
Well, I asked for something to eat; I'm hungry as a hog; So I get brown rice, seaweed; And a dirty hot dog
I can't provide for you no easy answers,; Who are you that I should have to lie?
I don't know why I love her but I just can't stop
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 I'm all alone; In the great unknown,; I'll remember you.
And then you told me later, as I apologized; That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
When you know as well as me; You'd rather see me paralyzed
Precious angel, you believe me when I say; What God has given to us no man can take away.
I couldn't see what you could show me; Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
Our conversation was short and sweet; It nearly swept me off-a my feet.
Well I don't dare close my eyes and I don't dare wink; Maybe in the next life I'll be able to hear myself think
All the tired horses in the sun; How'm I supposed to get any ridin' done? Hmm.
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.
Oh, ev'ry thought that's strung a knot in my mind,; I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung.
Let's try to get beneath the surface waste, girl,; No more booby traps and bombs,; No more decadence and charm,; No more affection that's misplaced, girl
He said, Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?; I said, I got no money. He said, That ain't necessary.
