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?
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.
You don't want a love that's pure; You wanna drown love; You want a watered-down love
All he believes are his eyes, And his eyes, they just tell him lies
Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand,; And rivers that ran through ev'ry day.
Well it's way past midnight and there are people all around; Some on their way up, some on their way down
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
All I really want to do,; Is, baby, be friends with you.
You're the other half of what I am, you're the missing piece
That long black cloud is comin' down
I am hanging in the balance, of the reality of man; like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
Soon as a man is born, you know the sparks begin to fly, He gets wise in his own eyes and he's made to believe a lie.
Through the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales
But is your heart made out of stone, or is it lime; Or is it just solid rock?
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me,; See like me or be like me.
Wealth is a filthy rag; So erotic so unpatriotic; So wrapped up in the American flag
She once was a true love of mine
When destruction cometh swiftly; And there's no time to say a fare-thee-well,; Have you decided whether you want to be; In heaven or in hell?
I stood unwound beneath the skies; And clouds unbound by laws.
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
Some things in life, it gets too late to learn
Oh, ev'ry thought that's strung a knot in my mind,; I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung.
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
I can't provide for you no easy answers,; Who are you that I should have to lie?
I know all about poison, I know all about fiery darts,; I don't care how rough the road is, show me where it starts,; Whatever pleases You, tell it to my heart.
We never thought we could ever get old.; We thought we could sit forever in fun
Don't trust me to show you the truth; When the truth may only be ashes and dust.
Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory
The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed
In order to deal in this game, got to make the queen disappear,; It's done with a flick of the wrist.
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast;
Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last.
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.
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,; Should I leave them by your gate,; Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
Put your hand on my head, baby, do I have a temperature?
If this is love then gimme more; And more and more and more and more.
Ring them bells, for the time that flies,; For the child that cries; When innocence dies.
Every time you leave and go off someplace,; Things fall to pieces in my face
We sat in an empty theater and we kissed,; I asked ya please to cross me off-a your list.
Everything passes,; Everything changes,; Just do what you think you should do.
I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail,; Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail,; Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn.
He got an all girl orchestra and when he says; "Strike up the band," they hit it
Mama, take this badge off of me
I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
Have I surrendered to the will of God; Or am I still acting like the boss?
I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too"; He said, "You're not Him"
Senor, senor, let's disconnect these cables,; Overturn these tables.; This place don't make sense to me no more.
I want to thank You, Lord,; I just want to thank You, Lord,; Thank You, Lord.
I got nothing left to burn
All the laughter is just making me sad
For I know that you know that I know that you know; Something is tearing up your mind.
It's the last temptation; The last account; The last time you might hear the sermon on the mount,; The last radio is playing.
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go; To the valley below
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.
You have explained every mystery.; What can I do for You?
I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech
Well, it's always been my nature to take chances; My right hand drawing back while my left hand advances
