My children will go, As soon as they grow.; Well, there ain't nothing here now to hold them.
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
May you always know the truth; And see the lights surrounding you.
If you're a doctor, I need a shot of love.
Now at midnight all the agents; And the superhuman crew; Come out and round up everyone; That knows more than they do
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
You're gonna have to serve somebody.
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
I can't provide for you no easy answers,; Who are you that I should have to lie?
They say ev'rything can be replaced
Do I need your permission to turn the other cheek?; If you can read my mind, why must I speak?
The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed
Now the rainman gave me two cures,; Then he said, "Jump right in."; The one was Texas medicine,; The other was just railroad gin.
But does anyone hear the music they play
Does anyone even try?
You'd better do somethin' quick; She's your lover now.
All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
Gonna sleep down in the parlor; And relive my dreams
And you never ask questions; When God's on your side.
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take; To find dignity
Well, I got a harmonica job, begun to play,; Blowin' my lungs out for a dollar a day.
Now, I can't go back to what was, baby,; I can't unring the bell.
Temptation's not an easy thing
Ain't no reason to go anywhere.
Lost time is not found again
Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed
We're both just one too many mornings; An' a thousand miles behind.
I see people who are supposed to know better standin' around like furniture.
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
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
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
Don't follow leaders; Watch the parkin' meters
Democracy don't rule the world,; You'd better get that in your head.; This world is ruled by violence; But I guess that's better left unsaid.
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
the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
You're so damn nonchalant; But it's your mind that I want.
In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection
It ain't my cup of meat.
If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise, remind me to show you the, scars.
I need a steam shovel mama to keep away the dead
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
You're the one I've been looking for,; You're the one that's got the key.; But I can't figure out whether I'm too good for you; Or you're too good for me.
What happened to the real you, you've been captured but by whom?
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.
All the tired horses in the sun; How'm I supposed to get any ridin' done? Hmm.
I see people in the park forgetting their troubles and woes; They're drinking and dancing, wearing bright colored clothes; All the young men with their young women looking so good; Well, I'd trade places with any of them ; In a minute, if I could
Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift
I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch.
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go; To the valley below
You should be made; To wear earphones
Now, don't crowd me, lady; Or I'll fill up your shoe
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
You speak to me; In sign language; As I'm eating a sandwich
Put your hand on my head, baby, do I have a temperature?
I wouldn't be ashamed to be seen with you anywhere.
He bought me with a price,; Freed me from the pit,; Full of emptiness and wrath; And the fire that burns in it.
Did I miss the mark or; Over-step the line; That only you could see?
Let me ask you one question; Is your money that good
