When you think that you lost everything; You find out you can always lose a little more
We sat in an empty theater and we kissed,; I asked ya please to cross me off-a your list.
Yes, I see you on your window ledge; But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge
Always on the outside of whatever side there was,; When they asked him why it had to be that way, "Well," he answered, "just because."
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."
I'm listening to Neil Young, I gotta turn up the sound; Someone's always yelling turn it down
the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
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.
Wealth is a filthy rag; So erotic so unpatriotic; So wrapped up in the American flag
I finally realize there's no room for regret
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss.
Somethin' there is about you that I can't quite put my finger on.
It's mighty funny; the end of time has just begun
The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face
Well, you're on your own, you always were,; In a land of wolves and thieves.
If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry,; What good am I?
My love she speaks like silence
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.; Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells; I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed
Today on the countryside it was a-hotter than a crotch
With haunted hearts through the heat and cold
We never thought we could ever get old
The pump don't work; 'Cause the vandals took the handles
Do I need your permission to turn the other cheek?; If you can read my mind, why must I speak?
Your magnetic movements; Still capture the minutes I'm in.
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take; To find dignity
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
if there's an original thought out there, I could use it right now
I don't wanna be hers, I wanna be yours.
May you build a ladder to the stars; And climb on every rung.
Oh the fishes will laugh; As they swim out of the path; And the seagulls they'll be smiling.
And you, you took me in,; You loved me then; You didn't waste time.
Roses are red, violets are blue; And time is beginning to crawl
Just what do you think you have to guard?
Has the record been breaking,; Did the needle just skip
So long, New York.; Howdy, East Orange.
I was in your presence for an hour or so; Or was it a day? I truly don't know.
For all eternity I think I will remember; That icy wind that's howling in your eye.
Well, if I had to do it all over again,; Babe, I'd do it all over you.
Satan whispers to ya, "Well, I don't want to bore ya,; But when ya get tired of the Miss So-and-so I got another woman for ya."
Whatever you gonna do,; Please do it fast.
It's the ways of the flesh to war against the spirit; Twenty-four hours a day you can feel it and you can hear it; Using all the devices under the sun.
I see people in the park forgetting their troubles and woes; They're drinking and dancing, wearing bright colored clothes; All the young men with their young women looking so good; Well, I'd trade places with any of them ; In a minute, if I could
Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,; Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
But the magician is quicker and his game; Is much thicker than blood and blacker than ink
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,; Should I leave them by your gate,; Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
Tough Mama; Can I blow a little smoke on you?
Did I miss the mark or; Over-step the line; That only you could see?
I'd never say; That I done it the way; That you'd have liked me to.
I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still
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.
The country music station plays soft; but there's nothing, really nothing, to turn off
Now there's spiritual warfare and flesh and blood breaking down.; Ya either got faith or ya got unbelief and there ain't no neutral ground.
I looked at my watch; I looked at my wrist; I punched myself in the face with my fist
I'm goin' down to Tennessee,; Get me a truck 'r somethin'.; Gonna save my money and rip it up!
There's some people that; You don't forget,; Even though you've only seen'm; One time or two.
