I fought with my twin, that enemy within, 'til both of us fell by the way.
As his youth now unfolds; He is centuries old; Just to see him at play makes me smile; No matter what happens to me; No matter what my destiny; Lord, protect my child
You were snow, you were rain; You were striped, you were plain,;
The night passed away so quickly; It always does when you're with me.
I been hangin’ on threads
I been playin’ it straight
Now, I’ve just got to cut loose
Before it gets late
The angels play on their horns all day,; The whole earth in progression seems to pass by.; But does anyone hear the music they play,; Does anyone even try?
Yes, I know now, traps are only set by me; And I do not really need to be; Assured that love is just a four-letter word
Somethin' there is about you that I can't quite put my finger on.
And every one of them words rang true; And glowed like burnin' coal; Pourin' off of every page; Like it was written in my soul from me to you
If there's a poor boy on the street,; Then let him have my seat; 'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand,; And rivers that ran through ev'ry day.
Don't you know there's nothing new that's under the sun?; Well, there ain't no man righteous, no not one.
When the last rays of daylight go down; Buddy, you'll roll no more; I can hear the church bells ringing in the yard; I wonder who they're ringing for
Temptation's not an easy thing
'Twas then that I knew what he had on his mind.
The pump don't work; 'Cause the vandals took the handles
Well, the chances are against it and the odds are slim,; That he'll live by the rules that the world makes for him
Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties; Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
They got him on conspiracy, they were never sure who with.
She's got everything she needs,; She's an artist, she don't look back
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
Ring them bells, for the time that flies,; For the child that cries; When innocence dies.
And I, I don't mind the pain; Don't mind the driving rain; I know I will sustain; 'Cause I believe in you.
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.
I'll remember you; When the wind blows through the piney wood.
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go; To the valley below
I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down
The sky is trembling, And I must leave.
But I will be back, I will survive,; You'll never get rid of me as long as you're alive.
My feet are so tired, my brain is so wired
Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood.; He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good.
Whatever you gonna do,; Please do it fast.
Time passes slowly when you're lost in a dream.
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
Here is your throat back; Thanks for the loan
If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry,; What good am I?
I just want you to know; I can see through your masks
Heart of mine be still,; You can play with fire, But you'll get the bill
it is not he or she or them or it; That you belong to.
Roses are red, violets are blue; And time is beginning to crawl
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
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.
take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind
Well, I don't have to be no doctor, babe,; To see that you're madly in love.
Somebody's got to find your trail,; I guess it must be up to me.
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
I don't mind a reasonable amount of trouble
And you never ask questions; When God's on your side.
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,; All the pigeons gonna run to him.
Well, there's voices in the night trying to be heard; I'm sitting here listening to every mind polluting word
I don't wanna be hers, I wanna be yours.
Won't you descend from the throne, from where you sit?
to live outside the law, you must be honest
I got nothing left to burn
She was born in spring, but I was born too late
There's some people that; You don't forget,; Even though you've only seen'm; One time or two.
If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise, remind me to show you the, scars.
