Yes, I see you on your window ledge; But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss.
The drinks are ready and the dogs are going to war
Oh, ev'ry thought that's strung a knot in my mind,; I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung.
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
And you, you took me in,; You loved me then; You didn't waste time.
I was all right 'til I fell in love with you
Now I wish I could write you a melody so plain; That could hold you dear lady from going insane
Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift
When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things that remain?
Everything passes,; Everything changes,; Just do what you think you should do.
Some things last longer than you think they will; There are some kind of things you can never kill
I looked at my watch; I looked at my wrist; I punched myself in the face with my fist
I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring.
No time to suffer or blink; And no time to think
Does she know I still care?
I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down
You don't need a weather man; To know which way the wind blows
When I met you, baby,; You didn't show no visible scars.
They say you're usin' voodoo, I seen your feet walk by themselves
Well, I got a harmonica job, begun to play,; Blowin' my lungs out for a dollar a day.
All my friends have told me; If I hang around with you; That I'll go blind
Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties; Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
My feet are so tired, my brain is so wired
Now the moon is almost hidden; The stars are beginning to hide; The fortunetelling lady; Has even taken all her things inside
I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch.
So long, New York.; Howdy, East Orange.
Something there is about you that brings back a long forgotten truth
You will search, babe, At any cost.; But how long, babe, Can you search for what's not lost?
We never thought we could ever get old.; We thought we could sit forever in fun
Can't you hear that motor turnin'?; Automobile comin' into style
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
Some things are too hot to touch; The human mind can only stand so much
Today on the countryside it was a-hotter than a crotch
Our conversation was short and sweet; It nearly swept me off-a my feet.
Don't trust me to show you the truth; When the truth may only be ashes and dust.
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'm T-boned and punctured; But I'm known to be calm
Precious angel, you believe me when I say; What God has given to us no man can take away.
Don't you cry and don't you die and don't you burn
Trees that've stood for a thousand years suddenly will fall.
When he died I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious
People disagreeing everywhere you look,; Makes you wanna stop and read a book.
Your magnetic movements; Still capture the minutes I'm in.
Goodnight, my love, may the lord have mercy on us all.
You could ride like Annie Oakley,; You could shoot like Belle Starr.
If you're a doctor, I need a shot of love.
But does anyone hear the music they play
Does anyone even try?
She knows where I'd like to be; But it doesn't matter.
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.
If this is love then gimme more; And more and more and more and more.
Tough Mama; Can I blow a little smoke on you?
Leaving men wholly, totally free; To do anything they wish to do but die
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 I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand,; And rivers that ran through ev'ry day.
