Am I no longer a part of your plans or your dreams?
Do I need your permission to turn the other cheek?; If you can read my mind, why must I speak?
We never thought we could ever get old.; We thought we could sit forever in fun
Either I'm too sensitive or else I'm gettin' soft.
All I feel is heat and flame and all I see are dark eyes.
your pleasure knows no limits
He bought me with a price,; Freed me from the pit,; Full of emptiness and wrath; And the fire that burns in it.
Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand,; And rivers that ran through ev'ry day.
Wiggle 'til you're high, wiggle 'til you're higher,; Wiggle 'til you vomit fire
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.
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
Are you looking at me and thinking of somebody else?
Junk is piling up, taking up space
I was all right 'til I fell in love with you
The sky is trembling, And I must leave.
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
And every one of them words rang true; And glowed like burnin' coal; Pourin' off of every page; Like it was written in my soul from me to you
Whatever you wanted; Slipped out of my mind
God is in heaven; And we all want what's his; But power and greed and corruptible seed; Seem to be all that there is
you remind me of something that used to be; somethin' that crossed over from another century
You speak to me; In sign language; As I'm eating a sandwich
I've been hit too hard, I've seen too much; Nothing can heal me now, but your touch
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."
It's for myself and my friends my stories are sung.
I'm walking through streets that are dead
You think you can hide but you're never alone,; Ask Lot what he thought when his wife turned to stone.
Your loyalty is not to me; But to the stars above
I was just too stubborn to ever be governed by enforced insanity
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.
Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory
I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.
They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table.
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 can tell you fancy, I can tell you plain; You give something up for everything you gain
Well, I got a harmonica job, begun to play,; Blowin' my lungs out for a dollar a day.
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells; I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me,; See like me or be like me.
Won't you come with me, baby?; I'll take you where you wanna go.; And if it don't work out, You'll be the first to know
Your cracked country lips,; I still wish to kiss,; As to be under the strength of your skin.
I need a dump truck mama to unload my head
My heart's in the Highlands at the break of dawn; By the beautiful lake of the Black Swan; Big white clouds, like chariots that swing down low; Well my heart's in the Highlands; Only place left to go
You were trying to break into another world; A world I never knew.; I always kind of wondered; If you ever made it through.
In the home of the brave
Jefferson turnin’ over in his grave
She says, "What'll it be?"; I say, "I don't know, you got any soft boiled eggs?"
I want to thank You, Lord,; I just want to thank You, Lord,; Thank You, Lord.
I've already ripped out the phones, honey.; You can't walk the streets in a war
The door has closed forevermore
If indeed there ever was a door
You cast your spell and I went under,; I find it so difficult to leave.
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
I just can't fit; Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
