Won't you descend from the throne, from where you sit?
But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency
If there's a poor boy on the street,; Then let him have my seat; 'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
I just can't fit; Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
What looks large from a distance,; Close up ain't never that big.
Well the desert is hot, the mountain is cursed,; Pray that I don't die of thirst,; Baby, two feet from the well.
As the last fire truck from hell; Goes rolling by, all good people are praying
Somethin' there is about you that I can't quite put my finger on.
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
Well it's way past midnight and there are people all around; Some on their way up, some on their way down
The door has closed forevermore
If indeed there ever was a door
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
What kind of sign they need when it all come from within
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
Have you got some unfinished business?; Is there something holding you back?; Are you thinking for yourself; Or are you following the pack?
All the laughter is just making me sad
They say you're usin' voodoo, I seen your feet walk by themselves
May you have a strong foundation; When the winds of changes shift
Trees that've stood for a thousand years suddenly will fall.
There are those who worship loneliness, I'm not one of them
What makes the wind wanna blow tonight?
You can make me cry; Never say goodbye
I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings, And I've never been too impressed.
Yesterday everything was going too fast; Today, it's moving too slow
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take; To find dignity
Wealth is a filthy rag; So erotic so unpatriotic; So wrapped up in the American flag
Our conversation was short and sweet; It nearly swept me off-a my feet.
But is your heart made out of stone, or is it lime; Or is it just solid rock?
I hate myself for lovin' you and the weakness that it showed; You were just a painted face on a trip down Suicide Road
The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed
Son, this ain't a dream no more, it's the real thing.
If dogs run free, why not me; Across the swamp of time?
A million faces at my feet; But all I see are dark eyes
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
You don't want a love that's pure; You wanna drown love; You want a watered-down love
Well, the road is rocky and the hillside's mud; Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood
Try to be pure at heart, they arrest you for robbery,; Mistake your shyness for aloofness, your shyness for snobbery
You're gonna have to serve somebody.
Praise be to Nero's Neptune; The Titanic sails at dawn; And everybody's shouting; Which Side Are You On?
You will search, babe, At any cost.; But how long, babe, Can you search for what's not lost?
All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
My head tells me it's time to make a change; But my heart is telling me I love ya but you're strange.
I see people who are supposed to know better standin' around like furniture.
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go; To the valley below
We're idiots, babe.; It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves.
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,; Should I leave them by your gate,; Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
Silver and gold; Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
It was then that I got up to leave; But she said, "Don't forget,; Everybody must give something back; For something they get."
You can't get to glory by the raising and the lowering of no flag.; Put your goodness next to God's and it comes out like a filthy rag.
This wheel shall explode!
If God's on our side; He'll stop the next war.
People are crazy and times are strange
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.
I'd never say; That I done it the way; That you'd have liked me to.
But the magician is quicker and his game; Is much thicker than blood and blacker than ink
What happened to the real you, you've been captured but by whom?
Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed
