I'm already there in my mind;
And that's good enough for now
My conscience is beginning to bother me today.
Well the desert is hot, the mountain is cursed,;
Pray that I don't die of thirst,;
Baby, two feet from the well.
Last night I danced with a stranger;
But she just reminded me you were the one
When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things that remain?
I believe in the impossible, you know that I do
Now, when I was just a bawlin' child,;
I saw what I wanted to be
People carry roses
Make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her
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.
Build a fire, throw on logs;
And listen to it hiss;
And let it burn, burn, burn, burn;
On a night like this.
When he died I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious
And, when I was through;
I filled up my shoe;
And brought it to you.
This is the key to the kingdom and this is the town;
This is the blind horse that leads you around
My children will go, As soon as they grow.;
Well, there ain't nothing here now to hold them.
I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring.
Has the record been breaking,;
Did the needle just skip
I must admit I felt a little uneasy;
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency
Since every pleasure's got an edge of pain;
Pay for your ticket and don't complain
Just like you I'm wondrin' what I'm doin' here.;
Just like you I'm wondrin' what's goin' on.
An' here I sit so patiently;
Waiting to find out what price;
You have to pay to get out of;
Going through all these things twice.
I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.
The night is pitch black, come an' make my;
Pale face fit into place, ah, please!
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours
Ain't complaining 'bout what I got;
Seen better times, but who has not?
Shall I hold you close?;
Or Shall I let you go by?;
Tell me.;
Tell me.
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
When He rose from the dead, did they believe?
Some things in life, it gets too late to learn
Don't trust me to show you beauty;
When beauty may only turn to rust.
What happened to the real you, you've been captured but by whom?
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously;
But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
Lookin' at my shadow watching the colors up above
don't criticize;
what you can't understand.
Are you looking at me and thinking of somebody else?
In the home of the brave
Jefferson turnin’ over in his grave
Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that it passes through
Every time you leave and go off someplace,;
Things fall to pieces in my face
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.
I got nothing left to burn
You'd better do somethin' quick;
She's your lover now.
Now, I can't go back to what was, baby,;
I can't unring the bell.
I need a steam shovel mama to keep away the dead
It's the last temptation;
The last account;
The last time you might hear the sermon on the mount,;
The last radio is playing.
The door has closed forevermore
If indeed there ever was a door
You got a lotta nerve;
To say you are my friend
I couldn't see what you could show me;
Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
And you, you took me in,;
You loved me then;
You didn't waste time.
He said his name was Columbus;
I just said, "Good luck."
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
It's for myself and my friends my stories are sung.
Don't trust me to show you the truth;
When the truth may only be ashes and dust.
All the tired horses in the sun;
How'm I supposed to get any ridin' done? Hmm.
You speak to me;
In sign language;
As I'm eating a sandwich
This wheel shall explode!
