But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting; That's hanging in the Louvre
All I really want to do,; Is, baby, be friends with you.
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke,; How long must I suffer, Lord, how long must I be provoked?; Satan will give you a little taste, then he'll move in with rapid speed,; Lord keep my blind side covered and see that I don't bleed.
Lookin' at my shadow watching the colors up above
On the rising curve,; Where the ways of nature will test every nerve,; You won't get anything you don't deserve,; Where we were born in time.
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
He looks so truthful, is this how he feels; Trying to peel the moon and expose it
Now, when I was just a bawlin' child,; I saw what I wanted to be
The drinks are ready and the dogs are going to war
Well, if I had to do it all over again,; Babe, I'd do it all over you.
I've paid the price of solitude, but at last I'm out of debt.
Oh it's rush hour now; On the wheel and the plow; And the sun is going down; Upon the sacred cow.
Sooner or later, one of us must know; That I really did try to get close to you
Put your hand on my head, baby, do I have a temperature?
I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings, And I've never been too impressed.
Your cracked country lips,; I still wish to kiss,; As to be under the strength of your skin.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
It's the last temptation; The last account; The last time you might hear the sermon on the mount,; The last radio is playing.
When the last rays of daylight go down; Buddy, you'll roll no more; I can hear the church bells ringing in the yard; I wonder who they're ringing for
I can't provide for you no easy answers,; Who are you that I should have to lie?
Boys in the street beginning to play; Girls like birds flying away
When we meet again; Introduced as friends; Please don't let on that you knew me when; I was hungry and it was your world.
They used to grow food in Kansas; Now they want to grow it on the moon and eat it raw.; I can see the day coming when even your home garden; Is gonna be against the law.
Thought I'd shaken the wonder and the phantoms of my youth
Silver and gold; Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
Here is your throat back; Thanks for the loan
He got an all girl orchestra and when he says; "Strike up the band," they hit it
Have I surrendered to the will of God; Or am I still acting like the boss?
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed,; Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features.
If I ever lose her I will go insane; I go half crazy when she calls my name
Junk is piling up, taking up space
You'd better do somethin' quick; She's your lover now.
What good am I if I say foolish things; And I laugh in the face of what sorrow brings; And I just turn my back while you silently die,; What good am I?
And you never ask questions; When God's on your side.
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
The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed
I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring.
Now, I can't go back to what was, baby,; I can't unring the bell.
Guess it's too late to say the things to you; That you needed to hear me say.
Let the wind blow low, let the wind blow high.; One day the little boy and the little girl were both baked in a pie.
When I met you, baby,; You didn't show no visible scars.
She knows where I'd like to be; But it doesn't matter.
But is your heart made out of stone, or is it lime; Or is it just solid rock?
I got nothing left to burn
It's many a guard; That stands around smilin',; Holdin' his club; Like he was a king.
But does anyone hear the music they play
Does anyone even try?
You cast your spell and I went under,; I find it so difficult to leave.
The night is pitch black, come an' make my; Pale face fit into place, ah, please!
Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,; Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
Handy dandy, he got a basket of flowers and a bag full or sorrow
Now I wish I could write you a melody so plain; That could hold you dear lady from going insane
You speak to me; In sign language; As I'm eating a sandwich
I'm in love with the Ugliest Girl in the World
Now, a very great man once said; That some people rob you with a fountain pen.; It didn't take too long to find out; Just what he was talkin' about.
Oh the fishes will laugh; As they swim out of the path; And the seagulls they'll be smiling.
If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry,; What good am I?
