Was that the thunder that I heard?; My head is vibrating, I feel a sharp pain
This is the key to the kingdom and this is the town; This is the blind horse that leads you around
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',; But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
Our conversation was short and sweet; It nearly swept me off-a my feet.
Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed
Has the record been breaking,; Did the needle just skip
Yes, I see you on your window ledge; But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge
But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency
Talk about perfection, I ain't never seen none
Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love.
I was in your presence for an hour or so; Or was it a day? I truly don't know.
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.; Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
Just do your thing, you'll be king; If dogs run free.
But I mean no harm nor put fault, On anyone that lives in a vault, But it's alright, Ma, if I can't please him.
Done so many evil things in the name of love, it's a crying shame; I never did see no fire that could put out a flame.
Go 'way from my window,; Leave at your own chosen speed.
Give ya delusions of grandeur; And a evil eye; Give you idea that; You're too good to die
I stood unwound beneath the skies; And clouds unbound by laws.
Well, you're so bad and nasty; But I love you, yes I do
What kind of sign they need when it all come from within
Thought I'd shaken the wonder and the phantoms of my youth
You can make me cry; Never say goodbye
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me,; See like me or be like me.
What happened to the real you, you've been captured but by whom?
The pump don't work; 'Cause the vandals took the handles
Time passes slowly when you're lost in a dream.
In the home of the brave, Jefferson turnin' over in his grave
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
All I feel is heat and flame and all I see are dark eyes.
Pardon, monsieur," the desk clerk says,; Carefully removes his fez,; "Am I hearin' you right?"
She got a weird sense of humor that's all her own
Don't you cry and don't you die and don't you burn
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
Well, if I had to do it all over again,; Babe, I'd do it all over you.
I was just too stubborn to ever be governed by enforced insanity
Too many thoughts get in the way in the day
Well, I try my best; To be just like I am,; But everybody wants you; To be just like them.
Just like you I'm wondrin' what I'm doin' here.; Just like you I'm wondrin' what's goin' on.
Took a stranger to teach me, to look into justice's beautiful face; And to see an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
Temptation's not an easy thing
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously; But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
You could make me cry if you don't know.
The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face
If you want to live easy
Baby pack your clothes with mine
I'm sick of love but I'm in the thick of it
I'm in the streets; With the tombstone blues
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting; That's hanging in the Louvre
If you get close to her, kiss her once for me
I couldn't see where we were goin'; But you said you knew an' I took your word
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke,; How long must I suffer, Lord, how long must I be provoked?; Satan will give you a little taste, then he'll move in with rapid speed,; Lord keep my blind side covered and see that I don't bleed.
Nations are angry, cursed are some,; People are expecting a false peace to come.
Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted
You say my kisses are not like his,; But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is.
I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too"; He said, "You're not Him"
