If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.
Oh, baby, that god you been prayin' to;
Is gonna give ya back what you're wishin' on someone else
And, when I was through;
I filled up my shoe;
And brought it to you.
Well my house is on fire, burning to the sky
I was in a whirlwind, now I'm in some better place.
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
I can tell you fancy, I can tell you plain;
You give something up for everything you gain
Build a fire, throw on logs;
And listen to it hiss;
And let it burn, burn, burn, burn;
On a night like this.
Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed;
Dignity never been photographed
I've been hit too hard, I've seen too much;
Nothing can heal me now, but your touch
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
Most of the time;
I can't even be sure;
If she was ever with me;
Or if I was with her.
She's got everything she needs,;
She's an artist, she don't look back
time is running backwards
Any day now, any day now,;
I shall be released.
I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch.
Do you know where we're headin'?;
Lincoln County Road or Armageddon?
When He rose from the dead, did they believe?
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats;
Too noble to neglect;
Deceived me into thinking;
I had something to protect
Nations are angry, cursed are some,;
People are expecting a false peace to come.
I'm T-boned and punctured;
But I'm known to be calm
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
They say ev'rything can be replaced
I seen the kingdoms of the world and it's makin' me feel afraid.
I've already ripped out the phones, honey.;
You can't walk the streets in a war
I couldn't see where we were goin';
But you said you knew an' I took your word
Just do your thing, you'll be king;
If dogs run free.
Give ya delusions of grandeur;
And a evil eye;
Give you idea that;
You're too good to die
Saw you drift into infinity and come back again
When he died I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious
There was music in the cafes at night;
And revolution in the air.
Without freedom of speech, I might be in the swamp.
It's all been designed, he said, "To make you lose your mind,;
And when you go back to find it, there's nothing there to find."
She says, "What'll it be?";
I say, "I don't know, you got any soft boiled eggs?"
I fought with my twin, that enemy within, 'til both of us fell by the way.
What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood
The drinks are ready and the dogs are going to war
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
Because something is happening here;
But you don't know what it is;
Do you, Mister Jones?
They say you're usin' voodoo, I seen your feet walk by themselves
I finally realize there's no room for regret
Well the desert is hot, the mountain is cursed,;
Pray that I don't die of thirst,;
Baby, two feet from the well.
Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain
My love she speaks like silence
And then you told me later, as I apologized;
That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss.
the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
But does anyone hear the music they play
Does anyone even try?
Thought I'd shaken the wonder and the phantoms of my youth
Put your body next to mine;
And keep me company,;
There is plenty a room for all,;
So please don't elbow me.
Down the highway, down the tracks, down the road to ecstasy,;
I followed you beneath the stars, hounded by your memory,;
And all your ragin' glory.
Has the record been breaking,;
Did the needle just skip
I looked at my watch;
I looked at my wrist;
I punched myself in the face with my fist
The night passed away so quickly;
It always does when you're with me.
May you have a strong foundation;
When the winds of changes shift
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
All I feel is heat and flame and all I see are dark eyes.
