Well, it's always been my nature to take chances; My right hand drawing back while my left hand advances
And every time you get this close; It makes me want to scream
You don't need a weather man; To know which way the wind blows
Don't know if I saw you, if I would kiss you or kill you; It probably wouldn't matter to you anyhow
What makes the wind wanna blow tonight?
Gon' walk on down until I'm right beside the sun; I'm gonna have to put up a barrier to keep myself away from everyone.
Oh my name it is nothin'; My age it means less
I wasn't born to lose you.
time is running backwards
Put your body next to mine; And keep me company,; There is plenty a room for all,; So please don't elbow me.
If I ever lose her I will go insane; I go half crazy when she calls my name
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.
I can't help it if I'm lucky.
Drinkin' man listens to the voice he hears; In a crowded room full of covered up mirrors; Lookin' into the lost forgotten years; For dignity
You were snow, you were rain; You were striped, you were plain,;
What happened to the real you, you've been captured but by whom?
Everybody must get stoned.
Gon' walk on down that dirt road 'til I'm right beside the sun
Won't you descend from the throne, from where you sit?
It's many a guard; That stands around smilin',; Holdin' his club; Like he was a king.
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
And they're breaking down the distance; Between right and wrong.
Well, I don't have to be no doctor, babe,; To see that you're madly in love.
And, when I was through; I filled up my shoe; And brought it to you.
If you're looking for assistance, babe,; Or if you just want some company; Or if you just want a friend you can talk to,; Honey, come and see about me.
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.
I hate myself for lovin' you and the weakness that it showed; You were just a painted face on a trip down Suicide Road
I was just too stubborn to ever be governed by enforced insanity
All the tired horses in the sun; How'm I supposed to get any ridin' done? Hmm.
You lose yourself, you reappear
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',; But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.; Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
Now the rainman gave me two cures,; Then he said, "Jump right in."; The one was Texas medicine,; The other was just railroad gin.
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
Here is your throat back; Thanks for the loan
Cities on fire, phones out of order
I don't need no alibi when I'm spending time with you.; I've heard all of them rumors and you have heard 'em too.
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,; And the dust of rumors covers me.
I'm in love with the Ugliest Girl in the World
Are you looking at me and thinking of somebody else?
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
Build a fire, throw on logs; And listen to it hiss; And let it burn, burn, burn, burn; On a night like this.
Can't you hear that motor turnin'?; Automobile comin' into style
Some things last longer than you think they will; There are some kind of things you can never kill
Now at midnight all the agents; And the superhuman crew; Come out and round up everyone; That knows more than they do
Because something is happening here; But you don't know what it is; Do you, Mister Jones?
Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
She knows where I'd like to be; But it doesn't matter.
She once was a true love of mine
Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder
Well, the road is rocky and the hillside's mud; Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood
That's how it is when things disintegrate
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.
But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency
What looks large from a distance,; Close up ain't never that big.
If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry,; What good am I?
