It's many a guard; That stands around smilin',; Holdin' his club; Like he was a king.
May you have a strong foundation; When the winds of changes shift
Now at midnight all the agents; And the superhuman crew; Come out and round up everyone; That knows more than they do
Cities on fire, phones out of order
Betrayed by a kiss on a cool night of bliss; In the valley of the missing link
That long black cloud is comin' down
She's got everything she needs,; She's an artist, she don't look back
The night passed away so quickly; It always does when you're with me.
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
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.
I wasn't born to lose you.
Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road
And they're breaking down the distance; Between right and wrong.
Those are the hill of heaven, my love; You and I'll never know
When they came for Him in the garden, did they know?
Every brain is civilized,; Every nerve is analyzed,; Everything is criticized when you are in need.
Goodnight, my love, may the lord have mercy on us all.
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.
In order to deal in this game, got to make the queen disappear,; It's done with a flick of the wrist.
the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
Precious angel, you believe me when I say; What God has given to us no man can take away.
I don't wanna be hers, I wanna be yours.
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss.
I was in your presence for an hour or so; Or was it a day? I truly don't know.
Done so many evil things in the name of love, it's a crying shame; I never did see no fire that could put out a flame.
And every time you get this close; It makes me want to scream
Roses are red, violets are blue; And time is beginning to crawl
I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down
You could ride like Annie Oakley,; You could shoot like Belle Starr.
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
The country music station plays soft; but there's nothing, really nothing, to turn off
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.
Don’t think twice, it’s all right
'Cause he doesn't tell you jokes or fairy tales, say he's got no style.
He got an all girl orchestra and when he says; "Strike up the band," they hit it
It's mighty funny; the end of time has just begun
Most of the time; I can't even be sure; If she was ever with me; Or if I was with her.
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
I'm in love with the Ugliest Girl in the World
Where black is the color, where none is the number
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells; I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
If you want to live easy
Baby pack your clothes with mine
Let me ask you one question; Is your money that good
Pain sure brings out the best in people, doesn't it?
I been hangin’ on threads
I been playin’ it straight
Now, I’ve just got to cut loose
Before it gets late
One of these days and it won't be long; Going down in the valley and sing my song; I will sing it loud and sing it strong; Let the echo decide if I was right or wrong
Seen the arrow on the doorpost; Saying, "This land is condemned; All the way from New Orleans; To Jerusalem."
Won't you descend from the throne, from where you sit?
Oh it's rush hour now; On the wheel and the plow; And the sun is going down; Upon the sacred cow.
Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line,; Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine.
Oh, some of us'll end up; In St. Cloud Prison,; And some of us'll wind up, To be lawyers and things
Something there is about you that brings back a long forgotten truth
You're the other half of what I am, you're the missing piece
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
