When you think that you lost everything; You find out you can always lose a little more
Get the loot, don't be slow, we're gonna catch a trout
I looked at my watch; I looked at my wrist; I punched myself in the face with my fist
Now, I can't go back to what was, baby,; I can't unring the bell.
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
I must admit I felt a little uneasy; When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
There was music in the cafes at night; And revolution in the air.
Well, you're on your own, you always were,; In a land of wolves and thieves.
Yes, I see you on your window ledge; But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge
Every day of the year's like playin' Russian roulette
For all eternity I think I will remember; That icy wind that's howling in your eye.
You can pound on the President's gate; But you oughta know by now it's gonna be too late.
Just do your thing, you'll be king; If dogs run free.
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',; But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
Handy dandy, he got a basket of flowers and a bag full or sorrow
I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still
You're so damn nonchalant; But it's your mind that I want.
You don't want a love that's pure; You wanna drown love; You want a watered-down love
Every time you leave and go off someplace,; Things fall to pieces in my face
I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings, And I've never been too impressed.
I've been walking through the middle of nowhere; Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
Don't have to look no further, you're the soul of many things.
I got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles,; I think maybe we'd better leave each other alone.
Well, they're not showing any lights tonight; And there's no moon.
So long, New York.; Howdy, East Orange.
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
Saw you drift into infinity and come back again
Goodnight, my love, may the lord have mercy on us all.
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
The door has closed forevermore
If indeed there ever was a door
I know all about poison, I know all about fiery darts,; I don't care how rough the road is, show me where it starts,; Whatever pleases You, tell it to my heart.
What good am I if I know and don't do,; I If I see and don't say, if I look right through you
There are those who worship loneliness, I'm not one of them
Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood.; He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good.
How did I meet you? I don't know.
What kind of sign they need when it all come from within
It was then that I got up to leave; But she said, "Don't forget,; Everybody must give something back; For something they get."
Son, this ain't a dream no more, it's the real thing.
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."
Maybe they'll get me and maybe they won't; But not tonight and it won't be here; There are things I could say but I don't; I know the mercy of God must be near
Three fellas crawlin' on their way back to work,; Nobody stops to ask why.
When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things that remain?
Don't you know there's nothing new that's under the sun?; Well, there ain't no man righteous, no not one.
I need a steam shovel mama to keep away the dead
I wasn't born to lose you.
My children will go, As soon as they grow.; Well, there ain't nothing here now to hold them.
goodbye's too good a word, gal; so I'll just say fare thee well
Those are the hills of hell-fire my love; Where you and I will unite
Do you know where we're headin'?; Lincoln County Road or Armageddon?
Because something is happening here; But you don't know what it is; Do you, Mister Jones?
A saxophone someplace far off played
if every bone in his body was broken he would never admit it
That long black cloud is comin' down
Build a fire, throw on logs; And listen to it hiss; And let it burn, burn, burn, burn; On a night like this.
she's true, like ice, like fire
People disagreeing on all just about everything, yeah,; Makes you stop and all wonder why.
