There was music in the cafes at night; And revolution in the air.
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.
Every time you leave and go off someplace,; Things fall to pieces in my face
I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech
I can change, I swear, oh, oh,; See what you can do.; I can make it through,; You can make it too.
Don't trust me to show you beauty; When beauty may only turn to rust.
I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies; I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
I was all right 'til I fell in love with you
Everybody's doin' something,; I heard it in a dream,; But when there's too much of nothing,; It just makes a fella mean.
When you think that you lost everything; You find out you can always lose a little more
Ever since you walked right in, the circle's been complete
You have explained every mystery.; What can I do for You?
Have you got some unfinished business?; Is there something holding you back?; Are you thinking for yourself; Or are you following the pack?
Someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody
When there is no more,; You cut to the core; Quicker than anyone I knew.
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation; There are no words that need to be said
I'll see you later when I'm not so out of my head,; Maybe next time I'll let the dead bury the dead.
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?
Do I need your permission to turn the other cheek?; If you can read my mind, why must I speak?
Now there's spiritual warfare and flesh and blood breaking down.; Ya either got faith or ya got unbelief and there ain't no neutral ground.
take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind
An' here I sit so patiently; Waiting to find out what price; You have to pay to get out of; Going through all these things twice.
You should be made; To wear earphones
I seen the kingdoms of the world and it's makin' me feel afraid.
Heart of mine be still,; You can play with fire, But you'll get the bill
What happened to the real you, you've been captured but by whom?
No time to suffer or blink; And no time to think
I've been walking through the middle of nowhere; Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
If you're looking for assistance, babe,; Or if you just want some company; Or if you just want a friend you can talk to,; Honey, come and see about me.
Put your body next to mine; And keep me company,; There is plenty a room for all,; So please don't elbow me.
Now I wish I could write you a melody so plain; That could hold you dear lady from going insane
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore; You may not see me tomorrow.
And every time you get this close; It makes me want to scream
When the last rays of daylight go down; Buddy, you'll roll no more; I can hear the church bells ringing in the yard; I wonder who they're ringing for
All the laughter is just making me sad
All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
There's always some new stranger sneakin' glances,; Some trigger-happy fool willin' to take chances
They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table.
For all eternity I think I will remember; That icy wind that's howling in your eye.
Your magnetic movements; Still capture the minutes I'm in.
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
When destruction cometh swiftly; And there's no time to say a fare-thee-well,; Have you decided whether you want to be; In heaven or in hell?
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast;
Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last.
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,; All the pigeons gonna run to him.
My love she speaks like silence
Thought I'd shaken the wonder and the phantoms of my youth
This wheel shall explode!
Oh my name it is nothin'; My age it means less
If he needs a third eye he just grows it
Precious angel, you believe me when I say; What God has given to us no man can take away.
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.
Don't the moon look good, mama, Shinin' through the trees?
You lose yourself, you reappear
It's for myself and my friends my stories are sung.
All the people we used to know; Are an illusion to me now
Put my tears in a bottle
Screw the top on tight
But is your heart made out of stone, or is it lime; Or is it just solid rock?
