Thought I'd shaken the wonder and the phantoms of my youth
Pain sure brings out the best in people, doesn't it?
Leaving men wholly, totally free; To do anything they wish to do but die
We always did feel the same,; We just saw it from a different point of view
An' here I sit so patiently; Waiting to find out what price; You have to pay to get out of; Going through all these things twice.
My children will go, As soon as they grow.; Well, there ain't nothing here now to hold them.
And they're breaking down the distance; Between right and wrong.
Go 'way from my window,; Leave at your own chosen speed.
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take; To find dignity
Always on the outside of whatever side there was,; When they asked him why it had to be that way, "Well," he answered, "just because."
They say you're usin' voodoo, I seen your feet walk by themselves
I still can remember the way that you smiled
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Tough Mama; Can I blow a little smoke on you?
Don't follow leaders; Watch the parkin' meters
Just what do you think you have to guard?
Boys in the street beginning to play; Girls like birds flying away
We sat in an empty theater and we kissed,; I asked ya please to cross me off-a your list.
We grew up together; From the cradle to the grave; We died and were reborn; And then mysteriously saved.
I feel nothing for their game where beauty goes unrecognized
I finally realize there's no room for regret
Don't trust me to show you beauty; When beauty may only turn to rust.
Gonna take dancing lessons do the jitterbug rag; Ain't no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag; Only a fool in here would think he's got anything to prove
I'll see you later when I'm not so out of my head,; Maybe next time I'll let the dead bury the dead.
Precious angel, you believe me when I say; What God has given to us no man can take away.
How did I meet you? I don't know.
Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted
And, when I was through; I filled up my shoe; And brought it to you.
If I had wings and I could fly,; I know where I would go.
I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too"; He said, "You're not Him"
They tell me revenge is sweet and from where they stand, I'm sure it is.
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,; All the pigeons gonna run to him.
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.
Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,; Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
Just like you I'm wondrin' what I'm doin' here.; Just like you I'm wondrin' what's goin' on.
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.
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
I don't know why I love her but I just can't stop
Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road
Your temperature's too hot for taming
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
No knife could ever cut our love apart
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats; Too noble to neglect; Deceived me into thinking; I had something to protect
When we meet again; Introduced as friends; Please don't let on that you knew me when; I was hungry and it was your world.
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
She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe; "I thought you'd never say hello," she said; "You look like the silent type."
At the corrida we'll sit in the shade; And watch the young torero stand alone.; We'll drink tequila where our grandfathers stayed; When they rode with Villa into Torreon.
I see people who are supposed to know better standin' around like furniture.
Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love.
I'm listening to Neil Young, I gotta turn up the sound; Someone's always yelling turn it down
Run your fingers down my spine; Bring me a touch of bliss
Reality has always had too many heads
Wallflower, wallflower; Take a chance on me.; Please let me ride you home.
