Searching for my double, looking for; Complete evaporation to the core
Trees that've stood for a thousand years suddenly will fall.
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,; That we could sit simply in that room again.
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.
You cast your spell and I went under,; I find it so difficult to leave.
Don't follow leaders; Watch the parkin' meters
You could make me cry if you don't know.
Won't you dance with me?; I'm fallin' in love with you.
I can't provide for you no easy answers,; Who are you that I should have to lie?
Don't you know there's nothing new that's under the sun?; Well, there ain't no man righteous, no not one.
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
When I met you, baby,; You didn't show no visible scars.
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.
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
There's always some new stranger sneakin' glances,; Some trigger-happy fool willin' to take chances
Wiggle 'til you're high, wiggle 'til you're higher,; Wiggle 'til you vomit fire
Ain't no reason to go anywhere.
Someone else is speakin' with my mouth, but I'm listening only to my heart.
Just do your thing, you'll be king; If dogs run free.
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
Now, when I was just a bawlin' child,; I saw what I wanted to be
May you build a ladder to the stars; And climb on every rung.
And they're breaking down the distance; Between right and wrong.
This wheel shall explode!
You don't want a love that's pure; You wanna drown love; You want a watered-down love
Any day now, any day now,; I shall be released.
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings, And I've never been too impressed.
If there's a poor boy on the street,; Then let him have my seat; 'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
When you know as well as me; You'd rather see me paralyzed
Oh it's rush hour now; On the wheel and the plow; And the sun is going down; Upon the sacred cow.
Don't trust me to show you love; When my love may be only lust.
Look into infinity, all you see is trouble.
You got a lotta nerve; To say you are my friend
Talk about perfection, I ain't never seen none
God is in heaven; And we all want what's his; But power and greed and corruptible seed; Seem to be all that there is
All the laughter is just making me sad
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,; And the dust of rumors covers me.
My so-called friends have fallen under a spell.; They look me squarely in the eye and they say, "All is well."; Can they imagine the darkness that will fall from on high; When men will beg God to kill them and they won't be able to die?
What happened to the real you, you've been captured but by whom?
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
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past; I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
I'm already there in my mind; And that's good enough for now
People disagreeing on all just about everything, yeah,; Makes you stop and all wonder why.
The vagabond who's rapping at your door; Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
They say you're usin' voodoo, I seen your feet walk by themselves
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
In the hills of mystery,; In the foggy web of destiny,; You can have what's left of me,; Where we were born in time.
All I feel is heat and flame and all I see are dark eyes.
And, when I was through; I filled up my shoe; And brought it to you.
The man in me will hide sometimes to keep from bein' seen,; But that's just because he doesn't want to turn into some machine.
Every time you leave and go off someplace,; Things fall to pieces in my face
Those are the hill of heaven, my love; You and I'll never know
Some things are too hot to touch; The human mind can only stand so much
When they came for Him in the garden, did they know?
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation; There are no words that need to be said
