It's too bright a light, he said, "For anybody's eyes,; If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
Well, I spied a girl and before she could leave,; "Let's go and play Adam and Eve."; I took her by the hand and my heart it was thumpin'; When she said, "Hey man, you crazy or sumpin',; You see what happened last time they started."
Ever since you walked right in, the circle's been complete
Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood.; He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good.
Leaving men wholly, totally free; To do anything they wish to do but die
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
He bought me with a price,; Freed me from the pit,; Full of emptiness and wrath; And the fire that burns in it.
They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table.
Now, a very great man once said; That some people rob you with a fountain pen.; It didn't take too long to find out; Just what he was talkin' about.
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.
Let the wind blow low, let the wind blow high.; One day the little boy and the little girl were both baked in a pie.
And if my thought-dreams could be seen, They'd probably put my head in a guillotine
My love she speaks like silence
In the day of confession; We cannot mock a soul.; Oh, when there's too much of nothing,; No one has control.
But the magician is quicker and his game; Is much thicker than blood and blacker than ink
Three fellas crawlin' on their way back to work,; Nobody stops to ask why.
People on the platforms; Waiting for the trains; I can hear their hearts a-beatin'; Like pendulums swinging on chains
Nations are angry, cursed are some,; People are expecting a false peace to come.
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.
Well, they're not showing any lights tonight; And there's no moon.
Pardon, monsieur," the desk clerk says,; Carefully removes his fez,; "Am I hearin' you right?"
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.
I fought with my twin, that enemy within, 'til both of us fell by the way.
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 got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles,; I think maybe we'd better leave each other alone.
And then you told me later, as I apologized; That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues; You can tell by the way she smiles
I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
Don't you cry and don't you die and don't you burn
Searching for my double, looking for; Complete evaporation to the core
Those are the hill of heaven, my love; You and I'll never know
All I really want to do,; Is, baby, be friends with you.
Time passes slowly when you're lost in a dream.
Praise be to Nero's Neptune; The Titanic sails at dawn; And everybody's shouting; Which Side Are You On?
They tell me revenge is sweet and from where they stand, I'm sure it is.
And you, you took me in,; You loved me then; You didn't waste time.
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
So long, New York.; Howdy, East Orange.
Lookin' at my shadow watching the colors up above
You say my kisses are not like his,; But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is.
Here is your throat back; Thanks for the loan
I couldn't see where we were goin'; But you said you knew an' I took your word
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
He said, Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?; I said, I got no money. He said, That ain't necessary.
In the fury of the moment I can see the Master's hand; In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand.
Talk about perfection, I ain't never seen none
Lot of water under the bridge, Lot of other stuff too; Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore; You may not see me tomorrow.
I finally realize there's no room for regret
Without freedom of speech, I might be in the swamp.
Some things are too hot to touch; The human mind can only stand so much
Put your hand on my head, baby, do I have a temperature?
Love is so simple, to quote a phrase,; You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days.
Well, you're on your own, you always were,; In a land of wolves and thieves.
I can change, I swear, oh, oh,; See what you can do.; I can make it through,; You can make it too.
