And you, you took me in,; You loved me then; You didn't waste time.
You will search, babe, At any cost.; But how long, babe, Can you search for what's not lost?
And every time you get this close; It makes me want to scream
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.
You'd better do somethin' quick; She's your lover now.
Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
Saw you drift into infinity and come back again
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast;
Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last.
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues; You can tell by the way she smiles
You don't need a weather man; To know which way the wind blows
Your cracked country lips,; I still wish to kiss,; As to be under the strength of your skin.
Now the rainman gave me two cures,; Then he said, "Jump right in."; The one was Texas medicine,; The other was just railroad gin.
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down
If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise, remind me to show you the, scars.
One of these days and it won't be long; Going down in the valley and sing my song; I will sing it loud and sing it strong; Let the echo decide if I was right or wrong
Some things are too hot to touch; The human mind can only stand so much
All the people we used to know; Are an illusion to me now
You say you love me; And you're thinkin' of me,; But you know you could be wrong.
Lookin' at my shadow watching the colors up above
she's true, like ice, like fire
I was just too stubborn to ever be governed by enforced insanity
Don't trust me to show you beauty; When beauty may only turn to rust.
If God's on our side; He'll stop the next war.
Too many thoughts get in the way in the day
Nations are angry, cursed are some,; People are expecting a false peace to come.
Now you stand here expectin' me to remember somethin' you forgot to say
This time tomorrow I'll know you better; When my memory is not so short.
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,; And the dust of rumors covers me.
What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood
Searching for my double, looking for; Complete evaporation to the core
Go melt back into the night, babe,; Everything inside is made of stone.; There's nothing in here moving, An' anyway I'm not alone.
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind; You could have done better but I don't mind; You just kinda wasted my precious time
No time to suffer or blink; And no time to think
Gonna take dancing lessons do the jitterbug rag; Ain't no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag; Only a fool in here would think he's got anything to prove
You're the other half of what I am, you're the missing piece
I hate myself for lovin' you and the weakness that it showed; You were just a painted face on a trip down Suicide Road
I thought somehow that I would be spared this fate
In the hills of mystery,; In the foggy web of destiny,; You can have what's left of me,; Where we were born in time.
You could ride like Annie Oakley,; You could shoot like Belle Starr.
Lovin' you is the one thing I'll never regret.
I've paid the price of solitude, but at last I'm out of debt.
Yes, I see you on your window ledge; But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge
People on the platforms; Waiting for the trains; I can hear their hearts a-beatin'; Like pendulums swinging on chains
If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry,; What good am I?
What good am I if I say foolish things; And I laugh in the face of what sorrow brings; And I just turn my back while you silently die,; What good am I?
She still lives inside of me, we've never been apart.
Do you ever wonder just what God requires?; You think He's just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires.
there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden
I couldn't see where we were goin'; But you said you knew an' I took your word
And then you told me later, as I apologized; That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand,; And rivers that ran through ev'ry day.
She knows where I'd like to be; But it doesn't matter.
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
When they came for Him in the garden, did they know?
