it is not he or she or them or it; That you belong to.
I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down
When they came for Him in the garden, did they know?
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
They got him on conspiracy, they were never sure who with.
You should be made; To wear earphones
If I had wings and I could fly,; I know where I would go.
Can you tell me what we're waiting for, senor?
I don't want to fake you out
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?
Do you ever wonder just what God requires?; You think He's just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires.
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
Won't you dance with me?; I'm fallin' in love with you.
Have you got some unfinished business?; Is there something holding you back?; Are you thinking for yourself; Or are you following the pack?
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
The night is pitch black, come an' make my; Pale face fit into place, ah, please!
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
Did I miss the mark or; Over-step the line; That only you could see?
Junk is piling up, taking up space
May you have a strong foundation; When the winds of changes shift
If you're a doctor, I need a shot of love.
Maybe they'll get me and maybe they won't; But not tonight and it won't be here; There are things I could say but I don't; I know the mercy of God must be near
And the words that are used; For to get the ship confused; Will not be understood as they're spoken.
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast;
Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last.
Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,; All the pigeons gonna run to him.
Temptation's not an easy thing
She said, "Be easy, baby,; There ain't nothin' worth stealin' in here."
But even the president of the United States, Sometimes must have, To stand naked.
Last night I danced with a stranger; But she just reminded me you were the one
God is in heaven; And we all want what's his; But power and greed and corruptible seed; Seem to be all that there is
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
I'm in the streets; With the tombstone blues
Never could learn to drink that blood; And call it wine
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take; To find dignity
Something there is about you that brings back a long forgotten truth
Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,; Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
Has the record been breaking,; Did the needle just skip
When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things that remain?
Run your fingers down my spine; Bring me a touch of bliss
I've been hit too hard, I've seen too much; Nothing can heal me now, but your touch
Wealth is a filthy rag; So erotic so unpatriotic; So wrapped up in the American flag
People tell me it's a sin; To know and feel too much within.
My feet are so tired, my brain is so wired
Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory
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.
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells; I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
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.
If you're lookin' to get silly; You better go back to from where you came
'Twas then that I knew what he had on his mind.
Well, you're on your own, you always were,; In a land of wolves and thieves.
Your cracked country lips,; I still wish to kiss,; As to be under the strength of your skin.
Saw you drift into infinity and come back again
Cities on fire, phones out of order
Well, I asked for something to eat; I'm hungry as a hog; So I get brown rice, seaweed; And a dirty hot dog
Now, don't crowd me, lady; Or I'll fill up your shoe
