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.
We sat in an empty theater and we kissed,; I asked ya please to cross me off-a your list.
I got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles,; I think maybe we'd better leave each other alone.
If I ever lose her I will go insane; I go half crazy when she calls my name
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
In the home of the brave, Jefferson turnin' over in his grave
Do you ever wonder just what God requires?; You think He's just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires.
This is the key to the kingdom and this is the town; This is the blind horse that leads you around
Whatever you wanted; Slipped out of my mind
Don't you cry and don't you die and don't you burn
Just like you I'm wondrin' what I'm doin' here.; Just like you I'm wondrin' what's goin' on.
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me,; See like me or be like me.
Boys in the street beginning to play; Girls like birds flying away
Pain sure brings out the best in people, doesn't it?
Sooner or later, one of us must know; That I really did try to get close to you
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.
Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed
Handy dandy, he got a basket of flowers and a bag full or sorrow
Gon' walk on down that dirt road 'til I'm right beside the sun
Seen the arrow on the doorpost; Saying, "This land is condemned; All the way from New Orleans; To Jerusalem."
Give ya delusions of grandeur; And a evil eye; Give you idea that; You're too good to die
How can I explain?; Oh, it's so hard to get on
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation; There are no words that need to be said
You can make me cry; Never say goodbye
I can't help it if I'm lucky.
They don't want me around; 'Cause I believe in you.
Silver and gold; Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
And every time you get this close; It makes me want to scream
Three fellas crawlin' on their way back to work,; Nobody stops to ask why.
Wallflower, wallflower; Take a chance on me.; Please let me ride you home.
Dark Beauty; Meet me at the border late tonight
Now, don't crowd me, lady; Or I'll fill up your shoe
Well, you're so bad and nasty; But I love you, yes I do
Are you still my friend, baby, show me a sign
They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table.
I believe in the impossible, you know that I do
Down the highway, down the tracks, down the road to ecstasy,; I followed you beneath the stars, hounded by your memory,; And all your ragin' glory.
Oh my name it is nothin'; My age it means less
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin,; Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in.
Never could learn to drink that blood; And call it wine
But I mean no harm nor put fault, On anyone that lives in a vault, But it's alright, Ma, if I can't please him.
Love is so simple, to quote a phrase,; You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days.
Put your ear to the train tracks, put your ear to the ground,; You ever feel like you're never alone even when there's nobody else around?; Since the beginning of the universe man's been cursed by trouble.
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
Well, I try my best; To be just like I am,; But everybody wants you; To be just like them.
Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial
She's got everything she needs,; She's an artist, she don't look back
The treasure can't be found by men who search
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
Saw you drift into infinity and come back again
I been hangin’ on threads
I been playin’ it straight
Now, I’ve just got to cut loose
Before it gets late
May you build a ladder to the stars; And climb on every rung.
People ask about you; I didn't tell them everything I knew
I'm in a cowboy band
Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder
Ring them bells, for the time that flies,; For the child that cries; When innocence dies.
