He said, Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?; I said, I got no money. He said, That ain't necessary.
Well it's way past midnight and there are people all around; Some on their way up, some on their way down
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.
If the bible is right, the world will explode
May you have a strong foundation; When the winds of changes shift
Here is your throat back; Thanks for the loan
The world of illusion is at my door
So long, New York.; Howdy, East Orange.
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.
I'm already there in my mind; And that's good enough for now
She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the Jack of Hearts
In the home of the brave
Jefferson turnin’ over in his grave
Every time you leave and go off someplace,; Things fall to pieces in my face
I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.
She knows there's no success like failure; And that failure's no success at all.
And every time you get this close; It makes me want to scream
Lookin' at my shadow watching the colors up above
if every bone in his body was broken he would never admit it
Guess it's too late to say the things to you; That you needed to hear me say.
The night is pitch black, come an' make my; Pale face fit into place, ah, please!
My love she speaks like silence
You can pound on the President's gate; But you oughta know by now it's gonna be too late.
I just can't fit; Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
Can you tell me what we're waiting for, senor?
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
Through the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting; That's hanging in the Louvre
All I really want to do,; Is, baby, be friends with you.
Done so many evil things in the name of love, it's a crying shame; I never did see no fire that could put out a flame.
Your mind is your temple, keep it beautiful and free,; Don't let an egg get laid in it by something you can't see.
Well, You've done it all and there's no more anyone can pretend to do.; What can I do for You?
Have you got some unfinished business?; Is there something holding you back?; Are you thinking for yourself; Or are you following the pack?
Do I need your permission to turn the other cheek?; If you can read my mind, why must I speak?
That's how it is when things disintegrate
They don't want me around; 'Cause I believe in you.
If I had wings and I could fly,; I know where I would go.
What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this?
A million faces at my feet; But all I see are dark eyes
They like to take all this money from sin, build big universities to study in; Sing Amazing Grace all the way to the Swiss banks
You'd better do somethin' quick; She's your lover now.
They said it was the land of milk and honey,; now they say it's the land of money.; Who ever thought they could ever make that stick.
Oh, the only decent thing I did when I worked as a postal clerk; Was to haul your picture down off the wall near the cage where I used to work.; Was I a fool or not to try to protect your identity?; You looked a little burned out, my friend,; I thought it might be up to me.
Gonna sleep down in the parlor; And relive my dreams
I fought with my twin, that enemy within, 'til both of us fell by the way.
I thought somehow that I would be spared this fate
Love is so simple, to quote a phrase,; You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days.
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
Oh, baby, that god you been prayin' to; Is gonna give ya back what you're wishin' on someone else
You're gonna have to serve somebody.
Gon' walk on down that dirt road 'til I'm right beside the sun
When there is no more,; You cut to the core; Quicker than anyone I knew.
Down the highway, down the tracks, down the road to ecstasy,; I followed you beneath the stars, hounded by your memory,; And all your ragin' glory.
I could say that I'd be faithful, I could say it in one sweet, easy breath; But to you that would be cruelty and to me it surely would be death.
