And the words that are used;
For to get the ship confused;
Will not be understood as they're spoken.

We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right

Whatever you gonna do,;
Please do it fast.

The vagabond who's rapping at your door;
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.

With haunted hearts through the heat and cold We never thought we could ever get old

The door has closed forevermore If indeed there ever was a door

I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies;
I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes

Nations are angry, cursed are some,;
People are expecting a false peace to come.

When he died I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious

We always did feel the same,;
We just saw it from a different point of view

There was music in the cafes at night;
And revolution in the air.

I don't need any reminder;
To know how much I really care

May you build a ladder to the stars;
And climb on every rung.

Can't you hear that motor turnin'?;
Automobile comin' into style

You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.

Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love.

I must admit I felt a little uneasy;
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe

You got a lotta nerve;
To say you are my friend

Go 'way from my window,;
Leave at your own chosen speed.

Now you stand here expectin' me to remember somethin' you forgot to say

Oh, but if I had the stars from the darkest night,;
And the diamonds from the deepest ocean,;
I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss,;
For that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'.

Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road

Love is so simple, to quote a phrase,;
You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days.

But I will be back, I will survive,;
You'll never get rid of me as long as you're alive.

He looks so truthful, is this how he feels;
Trying to peel the moon and expose it

In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed,;
Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features.

I looked at my watch;
I looked at my wrist;
I punched myself in the face with my fist

Gonna take dancing lessons do the jitterbug rag;
Ain't no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag;
Only a fool in here would think he's got anything to prove

Now the moon is almost hidden;
The stars are beginning to hide;
The fortunetelling lady;
Has even taken all her things inside

Yes, I see you on your window ledge;
But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge

Leaving men wholly, totally free;
To do anything they wish to do but die

I'll remember you;
When the wind blows through the piney wood.

Have you got some unfinished business?;
Is there something holding you back?;
Are you thinking for yourself;
Or are you following the pack?

My feet are so tired, my brain is so wired

I need a dump truck mama to unload my head

Roses are red, violets are blue;
And time is beginning to crawl

If your mem'ry serves you well,;
You'll remember you're the one;
That called on me to call on them;
To get you your favors done.

The truth was obscure, too profound and too pure, to live it you have to explode.

I can smile in the face of mankind.;
Don't even remember what her lips felt like on mine;
Most of the time.

Lovin' you is the one thing I'll never regret.

Rock me, pretty baby, rock me 'til everything gets real;
Rock me for a little while, rock me 'til there's nothing left to feel;
And I'll rock you too

Let's try to get beneath the surface waste, girl,;
No more booby traps and bombs,;
No more decadence and charm,;
No more affection that's misplaced, girl

And I can't let go, won't let go, and I can't let go no more.

Well, I try my best;
To be just like I am,;
But everybody wants you;
To be just like them.

the cops don't need you;
and man they expect the same

I gotta go;
Find out something only dead men know

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.

I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it

Do I need your permission to turn the other cheek?;
If you can read my mind, why must I speak?

It was then that I got up to leave;
But she said, "Don't forget,;
Everybody must give something back;
For something they get."

Nobody feels any pain

If you're lookin' to get silly;
You better go back to from where you came

Your mind is your temple, keep it beautiful and free,;
Don't let an egg get laid in it by something you can't see.

When there is no more,;
You cut to the core;
Quicker than anyone I knew.

I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray

Well, if I had to do it all over again,;
Babe, I'd do it all over you.

Well, you're so bad and nasty;
But I love you, yes I do
