Try to be pure at heart, they arrest you for robbery,;
Mistake your shyness for aloofness, your shyness for snobbery
It's too bright a light, he said, "For anybody's eyes,;
If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."
Son, this ain't a dream no more, it's the real thing.
Not one more night, not one more kiss,;
Not this time baby, no more of this,;
Takes too much skill, takes too much will,;
It's revealing.
All the people we used to know;
Are an illusion to me now
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats;
Too noble to neglect;
Deceived me into thinking;
I had something to protect
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation;
There are no words that need to be said
So long, New York.;
Howdy, East Orange.
How long can I stay in this nowhere café
Has the record been breaking,;
Did the needle just skip
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.
Look into infinity, all you see is trouble.
I can't provide for you no easy answers,;
Who are you that I should have to lie?
I seen the kingdoms of the world and it's makin' me feel afraid.
I feel nothing for their game where beauty goes unrecognized
Heart of mine be still,;
You can play with fire, But you'll get the bill
People carry roses
Make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
Most of the time;
I can't even be sure;
If she was ever with me;
Or if I was with her.
Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed;
Dignity never been photographed
They tell me revenge is sweet and from where they stand, I'm sure it is.
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
Can't you hear that motor turnin'?;
Automobile comin' into style
I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too";
He said, "You're not Him"
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
Your loyalty is not to me;
But to the stars above
Senor, senor, let's disconnect these cables,;
Overturn these tables.;
This place don't make sense to me no more.
But does anyone hear the music they play
Does anyone even try?
But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency
Just what do you think you have to guard?
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
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.
The drinks are ready and the dogs are going to war
It's the last temptation;
The last account;
The last time you might hear the sermon on the mount,;
The last radio is playing.
They said it was the land of milk and honey,;
now they say it's the land of money.;
Who ever thought they could ever make that stick.
And, when I was through;
I filled up my shoe;
And brought it to you.
She still lives inside of me, we've never been apart.
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.
Have I surrendered to the will of God;
Or am I still acting like the boss?
Well I don't dare close my eyes and I don't dare wink;
Maybe in the next life I'll be able to hear myself think
I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring.
Oh it's rush hour now;
On the wheel and the plow;
And the sun is going down;
Upon the sacred cow.
I still can remember the way that you smiled
Everybody must get stoned.
I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down
My love she speaks like silence
Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that it passes through
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."
Someone else is speakin' with my mouth, but I'm listening only to my heart.
I'm T-boned and punctured;
But I'm known to be calm
When I'm all alone;
In the great unknown,;
I'll remember you.
If I ever lose her I will go insane;
I go half crazy when she calls my name
I was in a whirlwind, now I'm in some better place.
People disagreeing on all just about everything, yeah,;
Makes you stop and all wonder why.
For I know that you know that I know that you know;
Something is tearing up your mind.
if every bone in his body was broken he would never admit it
