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
Let the wind blow low, let the wind blow high.; One day the little boy and the little girl were both baked in a pie.
And every time you get this close; It makes me want to scream
Mama, take this badge off of me
I know all about poison, I know all about fiery darts,; I don't care how rough the road is, show me where it starts,; Whatever pleases You, tell it to my heart.
take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind
Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues; You can tell by the way she smiles
We sat in an empty theater and we kissed,; I asked ya please to cross me off-a your list.
Oh, some of us'll end up; In St. Cloud Prison,; And some of us'll wind up, To be lawyers and things
Without freedom of speech, I might be in the swamp.
All my friends have told me; If I hang around with you; That I'll go blind
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me,; See like me or be like me.
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
I got a poison headache,; But I feel all right
May you have a strong foundation; When the winds of changes shift
That's how it is when things disintegrate
People ask about you; I didn't tell them everything I knew
You don't need a weather man; To know which way the wind blows
Well, he can be fascinating, he can be dull,; He can ride down Niagara Falls in the barrels of your skull.
Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed; Dignity never been photographed
Don't you cry and don't you die and don't you burn
Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand,; And rivers that ran through ev'ry day.
Some things in life, it gets too late to learn
to live outside the law, you must be honest
It's for myself and my friends my stories are sung.
I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch.
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation; There are no words that need to be said
Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed
I couldn't see where we were goin'; But you said you knew an' I took your word
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,; That we could sit simply in that room again.
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
Get the loot, don't be slow, we're gonna catch a trout
Put your hand on my head, baby, do I have a temperature?
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.
People disagreeing on all just about everything, yeah,; Makes you stop and all wonder why.
I've been hit too hard, I've seen too much; Nothing can heal me now, but your touch
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting; That's hanging in the Louvre
Oh, man has invented his doom, First step was touching the moon.
Don't you know there's nothing new that's under the sun?; Well, there ain't no man righteous, no not one.
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
Temptation's not an easy thing
I'm in the streets; With the tombstone blues
All the people we used to know; Are an illusion to me now
You're the other half of what I am, you're the missing piece
Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road
And the words that are used; For to get the ship confused; Will not be understood as they're spoken.
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
What good am I if I know and don't do,; I If I see and don't say, if I look right through you
Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer; It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.
I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech
The door has closed forevermore
If indeed there ever was a door
Now at midnight all the agents; And the superhuman crew; Come out and round up everyone; That knows more than they do
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
Ain't complaining 'bout what I got; Seen better times, but who has not?
if every bone in his body was broken he would never admit it
I'll see you later when I'm not so out of my head,; Maybe next time I'll let the dead bury the dead.
