I must admit I felt a little uneasy; When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
Praise be to Nero's Neptune; The Titanic sails at dawn; And everybody's shouting; Which Side Are You On?
'Twas then that I knew what he had on his mind.
But even the president of the United States, Sometimes must have, To stand naked.
If you want to live easy
Baby pack your clothes with mine
goodbye's too good a word, gal; so I'll just say fare thee well
And every one of them words rang true; And glowed like burnin' coal; Pourin' off of every page; Like it was written in my soul from me to you
As his youth now unfolds; He is centuries old; Just to see him at play makes me smile; No matter what happens to me; No matter what my destiny; Lord, protect my child
We sat in an empty theater and we kissed,; I asked ya please to cross me off-a your list.
Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,; Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
He got an all girl orchestra and when he says; "Strike up the band," they hit it
I was in your presence for an hour or so; Or was it a day? I truly don't know.
What good am I if I know and don't do,; I If I see and don't say, if I look right through you
I'm in a cowboy band
When he died I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious
You know, news of you has come down the line; Even before ya came in the door.; They say in your father's house, there's many mansions; Each one of them got a fireproof floor.
All my friends have told me; If I hang around with you; That I'll go blind
Am I no longer a part of your plans or your dreams?
Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues; You can tell by the way she smiles
Oh my name it is nothin'; My age it means less
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,; And the dust of rumors covers me.
Have you got some unfinished business?; Is there something holding you back?; Are you thinking for yourself; Or are you following the pack?
Put your ear to the train tracks, put your ear to the ground,; You ever feel like you're never alone even when there's nobody else around?; Since the beginning of the universe man's been cursed by trouble.
A million faces at my feet; But all I see are dark eyes
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.
The night is pitch black, come an' make my; Pale face fit into place, ah, please!
What looks large from a distance,; Close up ain't never that big.
if there's an original thought out there, I could use it right now
When He rose from the dead, did they believe?
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
All I feel is heat and flame and all I see are dark eyes.
Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed
Drinkin' man listens to the voice he hears; In a crowded room full of covered up mirrors; Lookin' into the lost forgotten years; For dignity
We grew up together; From the cradle to the grave; We died and were reborn; And then mysteriously saved.
Well, You've done it all and there's no more anyone can pretend to do.; What can I do for You?
Gonna sleep down in the parlor; And relive my dreams
You speak to me; In sign language; As I'm eating a sandwich
Darkness at the break of noon
Pardon, monsieur," the desk clerk says,; Carefully removes his fez,; "Am I hearin' you right?"
I was in a whirlwind, now I'm in some better place.
She said, "Be easy, baby,; There ain't nothin' worth stealin' in here."
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.; Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
Now, when I was just a bawlin' child,; I saw what I wanted to be
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.
Betrayed by a kiss on a cool night of bliss; In the valley of the missing link
I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
Your temperature's too hot for taming
But I will be back, I will survive,; You'll never get rid of me as long as you're alive.
I got nothing left to burn
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?
Won't you dance with me?; I'm fallin' in love with you.
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast;
Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last.
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."
Oh, the only decent thing I did when I worked as a postal clerk; Was to haul your picture down off the wall near the cage where I used to work.; Was I a fool or not to try to protect your identity?; You looked a little burned out, my friend,; I thought it might be up to me.
