What was it you wanted; When you were kissing my check?
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',; But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats; Too noble to neglect; Deceived me into thinking; I had something to protect
She says, "What'll it be?"; I say, "I don't know, you got any soft boiled eggs?"
You were snow, you were rain; You were striped, you were plain,;
I need a dump truck mama to unload my head
Something there is about you that brings back a long forgotten truth
We're both just one too many mornings; An' a thousand miles behind.
People tell me it's a sin; To know and feel too much within.
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.
Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted
And I can't let go, won't let go, and I can't let go no more.
Whatever you wanted; Slipped out of my mind
Shall I hold you close?; Or Shall I let you go by?; Tell me.; Tell me.
Yes, I see you on your window ledge; But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge
I'll give you more gold; Than your apron can hold; If you'll only let your hair hang low
Now, I can't go back to what was, baby,; I can't unring the bell.
Sooner or later, one of us must know; That I really did try to get close to you
I'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to me
The way is long but the end is near, Already the fiesta has begun
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke,; How long must I suffer, Lord, how long must I be provoked?; Satan will give you a little taste, then he'll move in with rapid speed,; Lord keep my blind side covered and see that I don't bleed.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Guess it's too late to say the things to you; That you needed to hear me say.
I was in a whirlwind, now I'm in some better place.
And if my thought-dreams could be seen, They'd probably put my head in a guillotine
We never thought we could ever get old.; We thought we could sit forever in fun
People are crazy and times are strange
Satan whispers to ya, "Well, I don't want to bore ya,; But when ya get tired of the Miss So-and-so I got another woman for ya."
All he believes are his eyes, And his eyes, they just tell him lies
Betrayed by a kiss on a cool night of bliss; In the valley of the missing link
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
When you know as well as me; You'd rather see me paralyzed
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
What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood
You think you can hide but you're never alone,; Ask Lot what he thought when his wife turned to stone.
Oh the fishes will laugh; As they swim out of the path; And the seagulls they'll be smiling.
Dark Beauty; Meet me at the border late tonight
I finally realize there's no room for regret
She's got everything she needs,; She's an artist, she don't look back
Goodnight, my love, may the lord have mercy on us all.
Every brain is civilized,; Every nerve is analyzed,; Everything is criticized when you are in need.
Always on the outside of whatever side there was,; When they asked him why it had to be that way, "Well," he answered, "just because."
I don't know why I love her but I just can't stop
We sat in an empty theater and we kissed,; I asked ya please to cross me off-a your list.
I still can remember the way that you smiled
Everything passes,; Everything changes,; Just do what you think you should do.
The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder
Well, I asked for something to eat; I'm hungry as a hog; So I get brown rice, seaweed; And a dirty hot dog
My conscience is beginning to bother me today.
I am hanging in the balance, of the reality of man; like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.
The door has closed forevermore
If indeed there ever was a door
Have I surrendered to the will of God; Or am I still acting like the boss?
I got nothing left to burn
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.
