I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.
I can tell you fancy, I can tell you plain; You give something up for everything you gain
All he believes are his eyes, And his eyes, they just tell him lies
What drives me to you is what drives me insane.
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.
Yesterday everything was going too fast; Today, it's moving too slow
All the laughter is just making me sad
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past; I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
Insanity is smashing up against my soul; You can say I was on anything but a roll; If I had a conscience, well I just might blow my top; What would I do with it anyway ; Maybe take it to the pawn shop
Lay down your weary tune, lay down,; Lay down the song you strum,; And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings; No voice can hope to hum.
Every brain is civilized,; Every nerve is analyzed,; Everything is criticized when you are in need.
Trees that've stood for a thousand years suddenly will fall.
I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
'Cause he doesn't tell you jokes or fairy tales, say he's got no style.
The party's over, and there's less and less to say
the cops don't need you; and man they expect the same
I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.
I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
people don’t live or die, people just float
Well, he can be fascinating, he can be dull,; He can ride down Niagara Falls in the barrels of your skull.
Can't you make any sound?
I'm T-boned and punctured; But I'm known to be calm
The sky is erupting, I must go where it's quiet.
For all eternity I think I will remember; That icy wind that's howling in your eye.
We never thought we could ever get old.; We thought we could sit forever in fun
I couldn't see what you could show me; Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
Oh, the only decent thing I did when I worked as a postal clerk; Was to haul your picture down off the wall near the cage where I used to work.; Was I a fool or not to try to protect your identity?; You looked a little burned out, my friend,; I thought it might be up to me.
Are you still my friend, baby, show me a sign
The truth was obscure, too profound and too pure, to live it you have to explode.
My feet are so tired, my brain is so wired
You're the other half of what I am, you're the missing piece
Louise, she's all right, she's just near; She's delicate and seems like the mirror; But she just makes it all too concise and too clear; That Johanna's not here
Junk is piling up, taking up space
Reality has always had too many heads
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells; I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
It's too bright a light, he said, "For anybody's eyes,; If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."
Has the record been breaking,; Did the needle just skip
I feel nothing for their game where beauty goes unrecognized
Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted
They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table.
time is running backwards
Will I ever learn that there'll be no peace, that the war won't cease; Until He returns?
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
Build a fire, throw on logs; And listen to it hiss; And let it burn, burn, burn, burn; On a night like this.
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
Those are the hill of heaven, my love; You and I'll never know
Won't you dance with me?; I'm fallin' in love with you.
Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
Dark Beauty; Meet me at the border late tonight
Goodnight, my love, may the lord have mercy on us all.
I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring.
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
Leaving men wholly, totally free; To do anything they wish to do but die
Soon as a man is born, you know the sparks begin to fly, He gets wise in his own eyes and he's made to believe a lie.
