Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood.; He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good.
People ask about you; I didn't tell them everything I knew
Well, You've done it all and there's no more anyone can pretend to do.; What can I do for You?
He looks so truthful, is this how he feels; Trying to peel the moon and expose it
No time to suffer or blink; And no time to think
Build a fire, throw on logs; And listen to it hiss; And let it burn, burn, burn, burn; On a night like this.
Do you know where we're headin'?; Lincoln County Road or Armageddon?
Well my house is on fire, burning to the sky
The vagabond who's rapping at your door; Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
Oh, baby, that god you been prayin' to; Is gonna give ya back what you're wishin' on someone else
That long black cloud is comin' down
Boys in the street beginning to play; Girls like birds flying away
Now, I can't go back to what was, baby,; I can't unring the bell.
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
Well the desert is hot, the mountain is cursed,; Pray that I don't die of thirst,; Baby, two feet from the well.
The way is long but the end is near, Already the fiesta has begun
In the home of the brave
Jefferson turnin’ over in his grave
Cities on fire, phones out of order
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
Now you stand here expectin' me to remember somethin' you forgot to say
I wish that for just one time; You could stand inside my shoes; You'd know what a drag it is; To see you
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke
I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings, And I've never been too impressed.
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.
Seen the arrow on the doorpost; Saying, "This land is condemned; All the way from New Orleans; To Jerusalem."
You have explained every mystery.; What can I do for You?
'Cause he doesn't tell you jokes or fairy tales, say he's got no style.
She says, "What'll it be?"; I say, "I don't know, you got any soft boiled eggs?"
You will search, babe, At any cost.; But how long, babe, Can you search for what's not lost?
If you get close to her, kiss her once for me
Leaving men wholly, totally free; To do anything they wish to do but die
Some things last longer than you think they will; There are some kind of things you can never kill
Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
Insanity is smashing up against my soul; You can say I was on anything but a roll; If I had a conscience, well I just might blow my top; What would I do with it anyway ; Maybe take it to the pawn shop
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,; And the dust of rumors covers me.
We never thought we could ever get old.; We thought we could sit forever in fun
Yes, I know now, traps are only set by me; And I do not really need to be; Assured that love is just a four-letter word
Oh it's rush hour now; On the wheel and the plow; And the sun is going down; Upon the sacred cow.
The pump don't work; 'Cause the vandals took the handles
Whatever you gonna do,; Please do it fast.
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."
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past; I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
And the words that are used; For to get the ship confused; Will not be understood as they're spoken.
You don't want a love that's pure; You wanna drown love; You want a watered-down love
Let the wind blow low, let the wind blow high.; One day the little boy and the little girl were both baked in a pie.
if every bone in his body was broken he would never admit it
I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.
All he believes are his eyes, And his eyes, they just tell him lies
You were trying to break into another world; A world I never knew.; I always kind of wondered; If you ever made it through.
I couldn't see where we were goin'; But you said you knew an' I took your word
And you, you took me in,; You loved me then; You didn't waste time.
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
You can't get to glory by the raising and the lowering of no flag.; Put your goodness next to God's and it comes out like a filthy rag.
Those are the hill of heaven, my love; You and I'll never know
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,; Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,; With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,; Let me forget about today until tomorrow.
