One more cup of coffee 'fore I go; To the valley below
We're both just one too many mornings; An' a thousand miles behind.
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
Thought I'd shaken the wonder and the phantoms of my youth
As the last fire truck from hell; Goes rolling by, all good people are praying
Yes, I know now, traps are only set by me; And I do not really need to be; Assured that love is just a four-letter word
Now the rainman gave me two cures,; Then he said, "Jump right in."; The one was Texas medicine,; The other was just railroad gin.
You could ride like Annie Oakley,; You could shoot like Belle Starr.
you remind me of something that used to be; somethin' that crossed over from another century
I believe in the impossible, you know that I do
That long black cloud is comin' down
Every brain is civilized,; Every nerve is analyzed,; Everything is criticized when you are in need.
My feet are so tired, my brain is so wired
You don't want a love that's pure; You wanna drown love; You want a watered-down love
Wallflower, wallflower; Take a chance on me.; Please let me ride you home.
I stood unwound beneath the skies; And clouds unbound by laws.
Praise be to Nero's Neptune; The Titanic sails at dawn; And everybody's shouting; Which Side Are You On?
Give ya delusions of grandeur; And a evil eye; Give you idea that; You're too good to die
The drinks are ready and the dogs are going to war
She said, "Be easy, baby,; There ain't nothin' worth stealin' in here."
Satan whispers to ya, "Well, I don't want to bore ya,; But when ya get tired of the Miss So-and-so I got another woman for ya."
Put my tears in a bottle
Screw the top on tight
You're so damn nonchalant; But it's your mind that I want.
I'll remember you; At the end of the trail,; I had so much left to do,; I had so little time to fail.
All the people we used to know; Are an illusion to me now
I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still
Everybody must get stoned.
Where black is the color, where none is the number
Pain sure brings out the best in people, doesn't it?
Are you looking at me and thinking of somebody else?
My heart's in the Highlands at the break of dawn; By the beautiful lake of the Black Swan; Big white clouds, like chariots that swing down low; Well my heart's in the Highlands; Only place left to go
Somethin' there is about you that I can't quite put my finger on.
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
The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed
They like to take all this money from sin, build big universities to study in; Sing Amazing Grace all the way to the Swiss banks
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
And I, I don't mind the pain; Don't mind the driving rain; I know I will sustain; 'Cause I believe in you.
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
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
I've been hit too hard, I've seen too much; Nothing can heal me now, but your touch
I finally realize there's no room for regret
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.
Your loyalty is not to me; But to the stars above
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch.
Lovin' you is the one thing I'll never regret.
The door has closed forevermore
If indeed there ever was a door
Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed; Dignity never been photographed
Put your body next to mine; And keep me company,; There is plenty a room for all,; So please don't elbow me.
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
Oh, but if I had the stars from the darkest night,; And the diamonds from the deepest ocean,; I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss,; For that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'.
I'm in love with the Ugliest Girl in the World
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
Shall I hold you close?; Or Shall I let you go by?; Tell me.; Tell me.
If there's a poor boy on the street,; Then let him have my seat; 'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
