You lose yourself, you reappear
Darkness at the break of noon
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously;
But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
If the bible is right, the world will explode
You say you love me;
And you're thinkin' of me,;
But you know you could be wrong.
We're both just one too many mornings;
An' a thousand miles behind.
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.
I hear that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.
There was music in the cafes at night;
And revolution in the air.
So long, New York.;
Howdy, East Orange.
It's so impossible to even learn the tune.
Put your hand on my head, baby, do I have a temperature?
The country music station plays soft;
but there's nothing, really nothing, to turn off
I'm already there in my mind;
And that's good enough for now
It's for myself and my friends my stories are sung.
What makes the wind wanna blow tonight?
You'd better do somethin' quick;
She's your lover now.
If he needs a third eye he just grows it
Turn your back, wash your hands,;
There's always someone who understands
He looks so truthful, is this how he feels;
Trying to peel the moon and expose it
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
People tell me it's a sin;
To know and feel too much within.
Now the rainman gave me two cures,;
Then he said, "Jump right in.";
The one was Texas medicine,;
The other was just railroad gin.
This time tomorrow I'll know you better;
When my memory is not so short.
Have I surrendered to the will of God;
Or am I still acting like the boss?
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats;
Too noble to neglect;
Deceived me into thinking;
I had something to protect
He bought me with a price,;
Freed me from the pit,;
Full of emptiness and wrath;
And the fire that burns in it.
Oh it's rush hour now;
On the wheel and the plow;
And the sun is going down;
Upon the sacred cow.
All my friends have told me;
If I hang around with you;
That I'll go blind
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore;
You may not see me tomorrow.
Now the moon is almost hidden;
The stars are beginning to hide;
The fortunetelling lady;
Has even taken all her things inside
There's only one step down from here, baby,;
It's called the land of permanent bliss.
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
My children will go, As soon as they grow.;
Well, there ain't nothing here now to hold them.
When the last rays of daylight go down;
Buddy, you'll roll no more;
I can hear the church bells ringing in the yard;
I wonder who they're ringing for
I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too";
He said, "You're not Him"
If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise, remind me to show you the, scars.
Get the loot, don't be slow, we're gonna catch a trout
With haunted hearts through the heat and cold
We never thought we could ever get old
Wiggle 'til you're high, wiggle 'til you're higher,;
Wiggle 'til you vomit fire
I can tell you fancy, I can tell you plain;
You give something up for everything you gain
Wallflower, wallflower;
Take a chance on me.;
Please let me ride you home.
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
I'm going out of my mind;
With a pain that stops and starts
I got nothing left to burn
The night is pitch black, come an' make my;
Pale face fit into place, ah, please!
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
What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood
We're going all the way 'til the wheels fall off and burn
The world of illusion is at my door
Time passes slowly when you're lost in a dream.
Has the record been breaking,;
Did the needle just skip
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours
Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted
