I just can't fit; Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
I gotta go; Find out something only dead men know
I see people in the park forgetting their troubles and woes; They're drinking and dancing, wearing bright colored clothes; All the young men with their young women looking so good; Well, I'd trade places with any of them ; In a minute, if I could
Does she know I still care?
Satan whispers to ya, "Well, I don't want to bore ya,; But when ya get tired of the Miss So-and-so I got another woman for ya."
What kind of sign they need when it all come from within
I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea; Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me.
But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency,; All non-believers and men stealers talkin' in the name of religion
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.
Our conversation was short and sweet; It nearly swept me off-a my feet.
She once was a true love of mine
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise, remind me to show you the, scars.
take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind
My feet are so tired, my brain is so wired
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
You could make me cry if you don't know.
The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face
I can smile in the face of mankind.; Don't even remember what her lips felt like on mine; Most of the time.
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.
Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues; You can tell by the way she smiles
My head tells me it's time to make a change; But my heart is telling me I love ya but you're strange.
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.
They like to take all this money from sin, build big universities to study in; Sing Amazing Grace all the way to the Swiss banks
On the rising curve,; Where the ways of nature will test every nerve,; You won't get anything you don't deserve,; Where we were born in time.
I'm hungry and I'm irritable; And I'm tired of this bag of tricks.; At one time there was nothing wrong with me; That you could not fix.
Well my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
I see, I see lovers in the meadow; I see, I see silhouettes in the window; I watch them 'til they're gone and they leave me hanging on ; To a shadow
People on the platforms; Waiting for the trains; I can hear their hearts a-beatin'; Like pendulums swinging on chains
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?
Well my nerves are exploding and my body's tense; I feel like the whole world got me pinned up against the fence
Roses are red, violets are blue; And time is beginning to crawl
I can tell you fancy, I can tell you plain; You give something up for everything you gain
Won't you come with me, baby?; I'll take you where you wanna go.; And if it don't work out, You'll be the first to know
And if my thought-dreams could be seen, They'd probably put my head in a guillotine
The party's over, and there's less and less to say
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 descend from the throne, from where you sit?
Either I'm too sensitive or else I'm gettin' soft.
Maybe they'll get me and maybe they won't; But not tonight and it won't be here; There are things I could say but I don't; I know the mercy of God must be near
Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood.; He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good.
