you remind me of something that used to be; somethin' that crossed over from another century
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells; I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
I finally realize there's no room for regret
They say ev'rything can be replaced
Ever since you walked right in, the circle's been complete
As the last fire truck from hell; Goes rolling by, all good people are praying
That long black cloud is comin' down
Have you got some unfinished business?; Is there something holding you back?; Are you thinking for yourself; Or are you following the pack?
You can make me cry; Never say goodbye
I've been walking through the middle of nowhere; Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
When destruction cometh swiftly; And there's no time to say a fare-thee-well,; Have you decided whether you want to be; In heaven or in hell?
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore; You may not see me tomorrow.
There's some people that; You don't forget,; Even though you've only seen'm; One time or two.
Well, the road is rocky and the hillside's mud; Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood
When he died I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious
The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder
I'm in love with the Ugliest Girl in the World
Mama, take this badge off of me
Always on the outside of whatever side there was,; When they asked him why it had to be that way, "Well," he answered, "just because."
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
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.
If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry,; What good am I?
Just like you I'm wondrin' what I'm doin' here.; Just like you I'm wondrin' what's goin' on.
Are you still my friend, baby, show me a sign
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
Does she know I still care?
May you have a strong foundation; When the winds of changes shift
My children will go, As soon as they grow.; Well, there ain't nothing here now to hold them.
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."
Never could learn to drink that blood; And call it wine
I was in a whirlwind, now I'm in some better place.
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
Will I ever learn that there'll be no peace, that the war won't cease; Until He returns?
Do you know where we're headin'?; Lincoln County Road or Armageddon?
You think you can hide but you're never alone,; Ask Lot what he thought when his wife turned to stone.
People tell me it's a sin; To know and feel too much within.
Gonna sleep down in the parlor; And relive my dreams
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
They tell me everything is gonna be all right; But I don't know what "all right" even means
If you're lookin' to get silly; You better go back to from where you came
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast;
Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last.
if there's an original thought out there, I could use it right now
Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift
Temptation's not an easy thing
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.
You're the other half of what I am, you're the missing piece
Well my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
I'm going back to New York City; I do believe I've had enough
I've already ripped out the phones, honey.; You can't walk the streets in a war
I'm T-boned and punctured; But I'm known to be calm
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
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.
