if every bone in his body was broken he would never admit it
I am hanging in the balance, of the reality of man; like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand
Ain't complaining 'bout what I got; Seen better times, but who has not?
She's a hypnotist collector
Junk is piling up, taking up space
Down the highway, down the tracks, down the road to ecstasy,; I followed you beneath the stars, hounded by your memory,; And all your ragin' glory.
Just what do you think you have to guard?
And if my thought-dreams could be seen, They'd probably put my head in a guillotine
Let me ask you one question; Is your money that good
Get the loot, don't be slow, we're gonna catch a trout
You were trying to break into another world; A world I never knew.; I always kind of wondered; If you ever made it through.
And they're breaking down the distance; Between right and wrong.
Run your fingers down my spine; Bring me a touch of bliss
I don't need any reminder; To know how much I really care
It's all been designed, he said, "To make you lose your mind,; And when you go back to find it, there's nothing there to find."
I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies; I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
I must be guilty of something,; You just whisper it into my ear.
Betrayed by a kiss on a cool night of bliss; In the valley of the missing link
Oh, ev'ry thought that's strung a knot in my mind,; I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung.
You don't want a love that's pure; You wanna drown love; You want a watered-down love
I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch.
In the day of confession; We cannot mock a soul.; Oh, when there's too much of nothing,; No one has control.
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.
I still can remember the way that you smiled
With haunted hearts through the heat and cold
We never thought we could ever get old
He bought me with a price,; Freed me from the pit,; Full of emptiness and wrath; And the fire that burns in it.
If there's a poor boy on the street,; Then let him have my seat; 'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
And then you told me later, as I apologized; That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise, remind me to show you the, scars.
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
I just want you to know; I can see through your masks
I like the cool way you look at me,; Everything about you is bringing me; Misery.
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?
I fought with my twin, that enemy within, 'til both of us fell by the way.
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,; That we could sit simply in that room again.
They tell me everything is gonna be all right; But I don't know what "all right" even means
And now the heart is filled with gold; As if it was a purse.; But, oh, what kind of love is this; Which goes from bad to worse?
'Twas then that I knew what he had on his mind.
Either I'm too sensitive or else I'm gettin' soft.
Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed
If you get close to her, kiss her once for me
Now, don't crowd me, lady; Or I'll fill up your shoe
You say you love me; And you're thinkin' of me,; But you know you could be wrong.
I'm going back to New York City; I do believe I've had enough
She's got everything she needs,; She's an artist, she don't look back
People carry roses
Make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her
We heard the Sermon on the Mount and I knew it was too complex,; It didn't amount to anything more than what the broken glass reflects.
This time tomorrow I'll know you better; When my memory is not so short.
The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed
You're gonna have to serve somebody.
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
People disagreeing everywhere you look,; Makes you wanna stop and read a book.
I'm goin' down to Tennessee,; Get me a truck 'r somethin'.; Gonna save my money and rip it up!
Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love.
Nations are angry, cursed are some,; People are expecting a false peace to come.
I stood unwound beneath the skies; And clouds unbound by laws.
I just can't fit; Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
