You will search, babe, At any cost.; But how long, babe, Can you search for what's not lost?
Your loyalty is not to me; But to the stars above
A million faces at my feet; But all I see are dark eyes
Can't you hear that motor turnin'?; Automobile comin' into style
Those are the hill of heaven, my love; You and I'll never know
I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.
Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand,; And rivers that ran through ev'ry day.
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
Time is all I have to give
Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that it passes through
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.
Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted
So long, New York.; Howdy, East Orange.
Well, they're not showing any lights tonight; And there's no moon.
goodbye's too good a word, gal; so I'll just say fare thee well
Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line,; Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine.
The party's over, and there's less and less to say
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
Handy dandy, he got a basket of flowers and a bag full or sorrow
Are you still my friend, baby, show me a sign
For the loser now; Will be later to win
Wealth is a filthy rag; So erotic so unpatriotic; So wrapped up in the American flag
What was it you wanted; When you were kissing my check?
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,; Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,; With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,; Let me forget about today until tomorrow.
Somethin' there is about you that I can't quite put my finger on.
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take; To find dignity
Let me ask you one question; Is your money that good
I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me,; See like me or be like me.
I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea; Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me.
You have explained every mystery.; What can I do for You?
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."
Leaving men wholly, totally free; To do anything they wish to do but die
Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues; You can tell by the way she smiles
I see people in the park forgetting their troubles and woes; They're drinking and dancing, wearing bright colored clothes; All the young men with their young women looking so good; Well, I'd trade places with any of them ; In a minute, if I could
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
The world of illusion is at my door
I must be guilty of something,; You just whisper it into my ear.
People disagreeing on all just about everything, yeah,; Makes you stop and all wonder why.
I'm walking through streets that are dead
You can pound on the President's gate; But you oughta know by now it's gonna be too late.
All my friends have told me; If I hang around with you; That I'll go blind
Has the record been breaking,; Did the needle just skip
They tell me everything is gonna be all right; But I don't know what "all right" even means
You don't need a weather man; To know which way the wind blows
Oh, but if I had the stars from the darkest night,; And the diamonds from the deepest ocean,; I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss,; For that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'.
I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings, And I've never been too impressed.
She says, "What'll it be?"; I say, "I don't know, you got any soft boiled eggs?"
Every time you leave and go off someplace,; Things fall to pieces in my face
If you want to live easy
Baby pack your clothes with mine
If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry,; What good am I?
Betrayed by a kiss on a cool night of bliss; In the valley of the missing link
Well, I don't have to be no doctor, babe,; To see that you're madly in love.
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,; And the dust of rumors covers me.
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
The truth was obscure, too profound and too pure, to live it you have to explode.
Well, it's always been my nature to take chances; My right hand drawing back while my left hand advances
