It's many a guard; That stands around smilin',; Holdin' his club; Like he was a king.
I need a steam shovel mama to keep away the dead
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,; And the dust of rumors covers me.
You should be made; To wear earphones
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
'Cause he doesn't tell you jokes or fairy tales, say he's got no style.
A million faces at my feet; But all I see are dark eyes
And then you told me later, as I apologized; That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
I'm in love with the Ugliest Girl in the World
I've paid the price of solitude, but at last I'm out of debt.
On the rising curve,; Where the ways of nature will test every nerve,; You won't get anything you don't deserve,; Where we were born in time.
Don't trust me to show you love; When my love may be only lust.
I don't need any reminder; To know how much I really care
Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted
People ask about you; I didn't tell them everything I knew
If you're looking for assistance, babe,; Or if you just want some company; Or if you just want a friend you can talk to,; Honey, come and see about me.
People disagreeing everywhere you look,; Makes you wanna stop and read a book.
she's true, like ice, like fire
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast;
Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last.
Go 'way from my window,; Leave at your own chosen speed.
Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory
My children will go, As soon as they grow.; Well, there ain't nothing here now to hold them.
I'm going back to New York City; I do believe I've had enough
I can't help it if I'm lucky.
Cities on fire, phones out of order
Just what do you think you have to guard?
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.
The door has closed forevermore
If indeed there ever was a door
I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies; I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
I wish that for just one time; You could stand inside my shoes; You'd know what a drag it is; To see you
I believe in the impossible, you know that I do
Are you still my friend, baby, show me a sign
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
My feet are so tired, my brain is so wired
He said, Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?; I said, I got no money. He said, That ain't necessary.
Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed
I want to thank You, Lord,; I just want to thank You, Lord,; Thank You, Lord.
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
Just do your thing, you'll be king; If dogs run free.
You will search, babe, At any cost.; But how long, babe, Can you search for what's not lost?
In order to deal in this game, got to make the queen disappear,; It's done with a flick of the wrist.
Now, a very great man once said; That some people rob you with a fountain pen.; It didn't take too long to find out; Just what he was talkin' about.
I'll remember you; When the wind blows through the piney wood.
But I mean no harm nor put fault, On anyone that lives in a vault, But it's alright, Ma, if I can't please him.
Hot chili peppers in the blistering sun
if there's an original thought out there, I could use it right now
She once was a true love of mine
And they're breaking down the distance; Between right and wrong.
Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy
I'll give you more gold; Than your apron can hold; If you'll only let your hair hang low
Put your hand on my head, baby, do I have a temperature?
If there's a poor boy on the street,; Then let him have my seat; 'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
Yesterday everything was going too fast; Today, it's moving too slow
You speak to me; In sign language; As I'm eating a sandwich
I looked at my watch; I looked at my wrist; I punched myself in the face with my fist
