They tell me everything is gonna be all right; But I don't know what "all right" even means
Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
People ask about you; I didn't tell them everything I knew
I need a dump truck mama to unload my head
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.
I've already ripped out the phones, honey.; You can't walk the streets in a war
And you, you took me in,; You loved me then; You didn't waste time.
Well, I wake in the morning, Fold my hands and pray for rain.; I got a head full of ideas, That are drivin' me insane.
If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry,; What good am I?
But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency
I am hanging in the balance, of the reality of man; like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand
to live outside the law, you must be honest
Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory
The sun's not yellow it's chicken
I like the cool way you look at me,; Everything about you is bringing me; Misery.
It was gravity which pulled us down and destiny which broke us apart
Put your hand on my head, baby, do I have a temperature?
Rock me, pretty baby, rock me 'til everything gets real; Rock me for a little while, rock me 'til there's nothing left to feel; And I'll rock you too
Ain't complaining 'bout what I got; Seen better times, but who has not?
A million faces at my feet; But all I see are dark eyes
Well, there's voices in the night trying to be heard; I'm sitting here listening to every mind polluting word
Your temperature's too hot for taming
Well, if I had to do it all over again,; Babe, I'd do it all over you.
It was true that in his later years he would not carry a gun; "I'm around too many children," he'd say, "they should never know of one."
I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too"; He said, "You're not Him"
Goodnight, my love, may the lord have mercy on us all.
They tell me revenge is sweet and from where they stand, I'm sure it is.
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.
I seen the kingdoms of the world and it's makin' me feel afraid.
Now I wish I could write you a melody so plain; That could hold you dear lady from going insane
Ever since you walked right in, the circle's been complete
It ain't my cup of meat.
In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection
You will search, babe, At any cost.; But how long, babe, Can you search for what's not lost?
Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift
We pointed out the way to go; And scratched your name in sand,; Though you just thought it was nothing more; Than a place for you to stand.
I stood unwound beneath the skies; And clouds unbound by laws.
I need a steam shovel mama to keep away the dead
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
It's the last temptation; The last account; The last time you might hear the sermon on the mount,; The last radio is playing.
What looks large from a distance,; Close up ain't never that big.
You know, the streets are filled with vipers; Who've lost all ray of hope,; You know, it ain't even safe no more; In the palace of the Pope.
When you cease to exist, then who will you blame?; I've tried my best to love you, but I cannot play this game; Your best friend and my worst enemy is one and the same
Well, I spied a girl and before she could leave,; "Let's go and play Adam and Eve."; I took her by the hand and my heart it was thumpin'; When she said, "Hey man, you crazy or sumpin',; You see what happened last time they started."
We sat in an empty theater and we kissed,; I asked ya please to cross me off-a your list.
It's many a guard; That stands around smilin',; Holdin' his club; Like he was a king.
When they came for Him in the garden, did they know?
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.; Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats; Too noble to neglect; Deceived me into thinking; I had something to protect
Now the moon is almost hidden; The stars are beginning to hide; The fortunetelling lady; Has even taken all her things inside
He looks so truthful, is this how he feels; Trying to peel the moon and expose it
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me,; See like me or be like me.
Son, this ain't a dream no more, it's the real thing.
I thought somehow that I would be spared this fate
If dogs run free, why not me; Across the swamp of time?
