The party's over, and there's less and less to say
You can pound on the President's gate; But you oughta know by now it's gonna be too late.
They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table.
Gonna take dancing lessons do the jitterbug rag; Ain't no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag; Only a fool in here would think he's got anything to prove
Three fellas crawlin' on their way back to work,; Nobody stops to ask why.
The world of illusion is at my door
Are you looking at me and thinking of somebody else?
Yesterday everything was going too fast; Today, it's moving too slow
You could make me cry if you don't know.
'Cause he doesn't tell you jokes or fairy tales, say he's got no style.
For all eternity I think I will remember; That icy wind that's howling in your eye.
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore; You may not see me tomorrow.
Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand,; And rivers that ran through ev'ry day.
All my friends have told me; If I hang around with you; That I'll go blind
As the last fire truck from hell; Goes rolling by, all good people are praying
Someone else is speakin' with my mouth, but I'm listening only to my heart.
The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face
What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this?
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
Lovin' you is the one thing I'll never regret.
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
You know, news of you has come down the line; Even before ya came in the door.; They say in your father's house, there's many mansions; Each one of them got a fireproof floor.
May you build a ladder to the stars; And climb on every rung.
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
She knows where I'd like to be; But it doesn't matter.
Drinkin' man listens to the voice he hears; In a crowded room full of covered up mirrors; Lookin' into the lost forgotten years; For dignity
When destruction cometh swiftly; And there's no time to say a fare-thee-well,; Have you decided whether you want to be; In heaven or in hell?
I don't need any reminder; To know how much I really care
I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
I don't need no alibi when I'm spending time with you.; I've heard all of them rumors and you have heard 'em too.
Heart of mine be still,; You can play with fire, But you'll get the bill
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 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
I'm glad to see you're still alive, you're lookin' like a saint.
Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder
They tell me everything is gonna be all right; But I don't know what "all right" even means
Either I'm too sensitive or else I'm gettin' soft.
All the laughter is just making me sad
Won't you come with me, baby?; I'll take you where you wanna go.; And if it don't work out, You'll be the first to know
A million faces at my feet; But all I see are dark eyes
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
Gon' walk on down until I'm right beside the sun; I'm gonna have to put up a barrier to keep myself away from everyone.
Gon' walk on down that dirt road 'til I'm right beside the sun
This wheel shall explode!
An' here I sit so patiently; Waiting to find out what price; You have to pay to get out of; Going through all these things twice.
What drives me to you is what drives me insane.
I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech
When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things that remain?
time is running backwards
Son, this ain't a dream no more, it's the real thing.
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
Go melt back into the night, babe,; Everything inside is made of stone.; There's nothing in here moving, An' anyway I'm not alone.
