I seen the kingdoms of the world and it's makin' me feel afraid.
Now, I can't go back to what was, baby,; I can't unring the bell.
Turn your back, wash your hands,; There's always someone who understands
Shall I hold you close?; Or Shall I let you go by?; Tell me.; Tell me.
I'm T-boned and punctured; But I'm known to be calm
Guess it's too late to say the things to you; That you needed to hear me say.
Heart of mine be still,; You can play with fire, But you'll get the bill
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.
People disagreeing everywhere you look,; Makes you wanna stop and read a book.
As the last fire truck from hell; Goes rolling by, all good people are praying
Well, he can be fascinating, he can be dull,; He can ride down Niagara Falls in the barrels of your skull.
I got nothing left to burn
I can't provide for you no easy answers,; Who are you that I should have to lie?
She's a hypnotist collector
The pump don't work; 'Cause the vandals took the handles
Oh my name it is nothin'; My age it means less
Am I no longer a part of your plans or your dreams?
In the home of the brave
Jefferson turnin’ over in his grave
All the people we used to know; Are an illusion to me now
I'm listening to Neil Young, I gotta turn up the sound; Someone's always yelling turn it down
Whatever you gonna do,; Please do it fast.
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 stood unwound beneath the skies; And clouds unbound by laws.
They used to grow food in Kansas; Now they want to grow it on the moon and eat it raw.; I can see the day coming when even your home garden; Is gonna be against the law.
Now the rainman gave me two cures,; Then he said, "Jump right in."; The one was Texas medicine,; The other was just railroad gin.
She knows there's no success like failure; And that failure's no success at all.
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,; That we could sit simply in that room again.
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
It was true that in his later years he would not carry a gun; "I'm around too many children," he'd say, "they should never know of one."
Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed; Dignity never been photographed
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
Junk is piling up, taking up space
Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder
Those are the hill of heaven, my love; You and I'll never know
Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood.; He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good.
People are crazy and times are strange
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation; There are no words that need to be said
Just like you I'm wondrin' what I'm doin' here.; Just like you I'm wondrin' what's goin' on.
Leaving men wholly, totally free; To do anything they wish to do but die
The sun's not yellow it's chicken
The treasure can't be found by men who search
Are you looking at me and thinking of somebody else?
Son, this ain't a dream no more, it's the real thing.
Never could learn to drink that blood; And call it wine
I'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to me
When we meet again; Introduced as friends; Please don't let on that you knew me when; I was hungry and it was your world.
My head tells me it's time to make a change; But my heart is telling me I love ya but you're strange.
Some things in life, it gets too late to learn
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 passes slowly when you're searchin' for love.
The truth was obscure, too profound and too pure, to live it you have to explode.
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
I fought with my twin, that enemy within, 'til both of us fell by the way.
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.
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
Don't trust me to show you love; When my love may be only lust.
