I just want you to know;
I can see through your masks
Gon' walk on down that dirt road 'til I'm right beside the sun
I was in a whirlwind, now I'm in some better place.
Some things are too hot to touch;
The human mind can only stand so much
I am hanging in the balance, of the reality of man;
like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand
Then she says, "I know you're an artist, draw a picture of me!";
I say, "I would if I could, but, ;
I don't do sketches from memory."
A million faces at my feet;
But all I see are dark eyes
The sky is erupting, I must go where it's quiet.
While my conscience explodes;
The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues;
You can tell by the way she smiles
Sooner or later, one of us must know;
That I really did try to get close to you
They got him on conspiracy, they were never sure who with.
Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that it passes through
It's many a guard;
That stands around smilin',;
Holdin' his club;
Like he was a king.
But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency
You have explained every mystery.;
What can I do for You?
he not busy being born, Is busy dying
But is your heart made out of stone, or is it lime;
Or is it just solid rock?
I got new eyes ;
Everything looks far away
Wallflower, wallflower;
Take a chance on me.;
Please let me ride you home.
I can't provide for you no easy answers,;
Who are you that I should have to lie?
If you're a doctor, I need a shot of love.
Tough Mama;
Can I blow a little smoke on you?
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind;
You could have done better but I don't mind;
You just kinda wasted my precious time
Somebody's got to find your trail,;
I guess it must be up to me.
I'm walking through streets that are dead
If you want to live easy
Baby pack your clothes with mine
When they came for Him in the garden, did they know?
it is not he or she or them or it;
That you belong to.
Don't know if I saw you, if I would kiss you or kill you;
It probably wouldn't matter to you anyhow
Some things in life, it gets too late to learn
I'm already there in my mind;
And that's good enough for now
The sun's not yellow it's chicken
Tell her she can look me up if she's got the time.
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats;
Too noble to neglect;
Deceived me into thinking;
I had something to protect
I got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles,;
I think maybe we'd better leave each other alone.
Ain't no reason to go anywhere.
Today on the countryside it was a-hotter than a crotch
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
The party's over, and there's less and less to say
You say my kisses are not like his,;
But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is.
I'd never say;
That I done it the way;
That you'd have liked me to.
I don't need any reminder;
To know how much I really care
I been hangin’ on threads
I been playin’ it straight
Now, I’ve just got to cut loose
Before it gets late
Yesterday everything was going too fast;
Today, it's moving too slow
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
I'll remember you;
When the wind blows through the piney wood.
When He rose from the dead, did they believe?
But I will be back, I will survive,;
You'll never get rid of me as long as you're alive.
You speak to me;
In sign language;
As I'm eating a sandwich
You breathed on me and made my life a richer one to live,;
When I was deep in poverty you taught me how to give
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.;
Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
All I feel is heat and flame and all I see are dark eyes.
You don't want a love that's pure;
You wanna drown love;
You want a watered-down love
Don't follow leaders;
Watch the parkin' meters
