If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
It's for myself and my friends my stories are sung.
Put my tears in a bottle
Screw the top on tight
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously; But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
Well it's way past midnight and there are people all around; Some on their way up, some on their way down
How can I explain?; Oh, it's so hard to get on
There was music in the cafes at night; And revolution in the air.
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.; Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
I'm T-boned and punctured; But I'm known to be calm
Now the rainman gave me two cures,; Then he said, "Jump right in."; The one was Texas medicine,; The other was just railroad gin.
My love she speaks like silence
An' here I sit so patiently; Waiting to find out what price; You have to pay to get out of; Going through all these things twice.
If I ever lose her I will go insane; I go half crazy when she calls my name
The world of illusion is at my door
Took a stranger to teach me, to look into justice's beautiful face; And to see an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
And every one of them words rang true; And glowed like burnin' coal; Pourin' off of every page; Like it was written in my soul from me to you
I fought with my twin, that enemy within, 'til both of us fell by the way.
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
You should be made; To wear earphones
I was all right 'til I fell in love with you
And the words that are used; For to get the ship confused; Will not be understood as they're spoken.
Nobody feels any pain
Then she says, "I know you're an artist, draw a picture of me!"; I say, "I would if I could, but, ; I don't do sketches from memory."
Some things last longer than you think they will; There are some kind of things you can never kill
When destruction cometh swiftly; And there's no time to say a fare-thee-well,; Have you decided whether you want to be; In heaven or in hell?
The truth was obscure, too profound and too pure, to live it you have to explode.
But I will be back, I will survive,; You'll never get rid of me as long as you're alive.
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
May you always know the truth; And see the lights surrounding you.
There's some people that; You don't forget,; Even though you've only seen'm; One time or two.
I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech
Well, you're on your own, you always were,; In a land of wolves and thieves.
Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love.
Junk is piling up, taking up space
People tell me it's a sin; To know and feel too much within.
Something there is about you that brings back a long forgotten truth
He bought me with a price,; Freed me from the pit,; Full of emptiness and wrath; And the fire that burns in it.
I was in a whirlwind, now I'm in some better place.
I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down
the cops don't need you; and man they expect the same
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
You were trying to break into another world; A world I never knew.; I always kind of wondered; If you ever made it through.
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.
If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise, remind me to show you the, scars.
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.
I believe in the impossible, you know that I do
I can change, I swear, oh, oh,; See what you can do.; I can make it through,; You can make it too.
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
When He rose from the dead, did they believe?
Oh ev'ry foe that ever I faced
The cause was there before we came.
Don't know if I saw you, if I would kiss you or kill you; It probably wouldn't matter to you anyhow
Soon as a man is born, you know the sparks begin to fly, He gets wise in his own eyes and he's made to believe a lie.
Everybody's wearing a disguise; To hide what they've got left behind their eyes
