All he believes are his eyes, And his eyes, they just tell him lies
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.
Not one more night, not one more kiss,; Not this time baby, no more of this,; Takes too much skill, takes too much will,; It's revealing.
As the last fire truck from hell; Goes rolling by, all good people are praying
I can smile in the face of mankind.; Don't even remember what her lips felt like on mine; Most of the time.
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore; You may not see me tomorrow.
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.
So long, New York.; Howdy, East Orange.
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.
Without freedom of speech, I might be in the swamp.
Do you ever wonder just what God requires?; You think He's just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires.
This is the key to the kingdom and this is the town; This is the blind horse that leads you around
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
if every bone in his body was broken he would never admit it
I'm T-boned and punctured; But I'm known to be calm
I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
When you think that you lost everything; You find out you can always lose a little more
And every time you get this close; It makes me want to scream
There was music in the cafes at night; And revolution in the air.
You cast your spell and I went under,; I find it so difficult to leave.
There's some people that; You don't forget,; Even though you've only seen'm; One time or two.
Betrayed by a kiss on a cool night of bliss; In the valley of the missing link
Something there is about you that brings back a long forgotten truth
May you always know the truth; And see the lights surrounding you.
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?
If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry,; What good am I?
Well my house is on fire, burning to the sky
Every brain is civilized,; Every nerve is analyzed,; Everything is criticized when you are in need.
I know all about poison, I know all about fiery darts,; I don't care how rough the road is, show me where it starts,; Whatever pleases You, tell it to my heart.
If God's on our side; He'll stop the next war.
Cities on fire, phones out of order
All the tired horses in the sun; How'm I supposed to get any ridin' done? Hmm.
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously; But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies; I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
Are you looking at me and thinking of somebody else?
It's too bright a light, he said, "For anybody's eyes,; If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."
I've already ripped out the phones, honey.; You can't walk the streets in a war
When he died I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious
He bought me with a price,; Freed me from the pit,; Full of emptiness and wrath; And the fire that burns in it.
I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech
I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.
I'll remember you; At the end of the trail,; I had so much left to do,; I had so little time to fail.
Build a fire, throw on logs; And listen to it hiss; And let it burn, burn, burn, burn; On a night like this.
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
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
I feel nothing for their game where beauty goes unrecognized
Hot chili peppers in the blistering sun
Now the rainman gave me two cures,; Then he said, "Jump right in."; The one was Texas medicine,; The other was just railroad gin.
Oh what dear daughter 'neath the sun; Would treat a father so,; To wait upon him hand and foot; And always tell him, "No"?
It's so impossible to even learn the tune.
Oh ev'ry foe that ever I faced
The cause was there before we came.
Your magnetic movements; Still capture the minutes I'm in.
The door has closed forevermore
If indeed there ever was a door
Now the moon is almost hidden; The stars are beginning to hide; The fortunetelling lady; Has even taken all her things inside
I'll give you more gold; Than your apron can hold; If you'll only let your hair hang low
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.
