Three fellas crawlin' on their way back to work,; Nobody stops to ask why.
It's too bright a light, he said, "For anybody's eyes,; If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."
If I ever lose her I will go insane; I go half crazy when she calls my name
All I really want to do,; Is, baby, be friends with you.
Well, I wake in the morning, Fold my hands and pray for rain.; I got a head full of ideas, That are drivin' me insane.
She knows where I'd like to be; But it doesn't matter.
Oh the fishes will laugh; As they swim out of the path; And the seagulls they'll be smiling.
Well I don't dare close my eyes and I don't dare wink; Maybe in the next life I'll be able to hear myself think
Oh, some of us'll end up; In St. Cloud Prison,; And some of us'll wind up, To be lawyers and things
When he died I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious
I looked at my watch; I looked at my wrist; I punched myself in the face with my fist
A million faces at my feet; But all I see are dark eyes
When they came for Him in the garden, did they know?
I couldn't see where we were goin'; But you said you knew an' I took your word
All he believes are his eyes, And his eyes, they just tell him lies
And, when I was through; I filled up my shoe; And brought it to you.
They like to take all this money from sin, build big universities to study in; Sing Amazing Grace all the way to the Swiss banks
People carry roses
Make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her
If your mem'ry serves you well,; You'll remember you're the one; That called on me to call on them; To get you your favors done.
That long black cloud is comin' down
Oh what dear daughter 'neath the sun; Would treat a father so,; To wait upon him hand and foot; And always tell him, "No"?
I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
Most of the time; I can't even be sure; If she was ever with me; Or if I was with her.
If you're lookin' to get silly; You better go back to from where you came
Are you looking at me and thinking of somebody else?
Wealth is a filthy rag; So erotic so unpatriotic; So wrapped up in the American flag
I don't want to fake you out
If God's on our side; He'll stop the next war.
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
I'm hungry and I'm irritable; And I'm tired of this bag of tricks.; At one time there was nothing wrong with me; That you could not fix.
You don't want a love that's pure; You wanna drown love; You want a watered-down love
Your temperature's too hot for taming
He said, Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?; I said, I got no money. He said, That ain't necessary.
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
Any day now, any day now,; I shall be released.
The party's over, and there's less and less to say
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke
Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder
I was in your presence for an hour or so; Or was it a day? I truly don't know.
Well it's way past midnight and there are people all around; Some on their way up, some on their way down
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind; You could have done better but I don't mind; You just kinda wasted my precious time
people don’t live or die, people just float
The angels play on their horns all day,; The whole earth in progression seems to pass by.; But does anyone hear the music they play,; Does anyone even try?
Temptation's not an easy thing
I see, I see lovers in the meadow; I see, I see silhouettes in the window; I watch them 'til they're gone and they leave me hanging on ; To a shadow
God is in heaven; And we all want what's his; But power and greed and corruptible seed; Seem to be all that there is
Well, the chances are against it and the odds are slim,; That he'll live by the rules that the world makes for him
I fought with my twin, that enemy within, 'til both of us fell by the way.
There's only one step down from here, baby,; It's called the land of permanent bliss.
I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still
Well the desert is hot, the mountain is cursed,; Pray that I don't die of thirst,; Baby, two feet from the well.
When He rose from the dead, did they believe?
I could say that I'd be faithful, I could say it in one sweet, easy breath; But to you that would be cruelty and to me it surely would be death.
I'm T-boned and punctured; But I'm known to be calm
Lookin' at my shadow watching the colors up above
Son, this ain't a dream no more, it's the real thing.
