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
She says, "What'll it be?";
I say, "I don't know, you got any soft boiled eggs?"
Last night I danced with a stranger;
But she just reminded me you were the one
she's true, like ice, like fire
Well, you're so bad and nasty;
But I love you, yes I do
I can't provide for you no easy answers,;
Who are you that I should have to lie?
goodbye's too good a word, gal;
so I'll just say fare thee well
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
Cities on fire, phones out of order
Every time you leave and go off someplace,;
Things fall to pieces in my face
Whatever you gonna do,;
Please do it fast.
The party's over, and there's less and less to say
People tell me it's a sin;
To know and feel too much within.
Democracy don't rule the world,;
You'd better get that in your head.;
This world is ruled by violence;
But I guess that's better left unsaid.
I need a dump truck mama to unload my head
Everything passes,;
Everything changes,;
Just do what you think you should do.
But I will be back, I will survive,;
You'll never get rid of me as long as you're alive.
I'm already there in my mind;
And that's good enough for now
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting;
That's hanging in the Louvre
Well, he can be fascinating, he can be dull,;
He can ride down Niagara Falls in the barrels of your skull.
Shine your light, shine your light on me;
Ya know I just couldn't make it by myself.;
I'm a little too blind to see
Something there is about you that brings back a long forgotten truth
Seen the arrow on the doorpost;
Saying, "This land is condemned;
All the way from New Orleans;
To Jerusalem."
She knows where I'd like to be;
But it doesn't matter.
Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder
He looks so truthful, is this how he feels;
Trying to peel the moon and expose it
if every bone in his body was broken he would never admit it
Someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody
The country music station plays soft;
but there's nothing, really nothing, to turn off
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
All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
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.
I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea;
Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me.
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin,;
Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in.
When they came for Him in the garden, did they know?
I'll see you later when I'm not so out of my head,;
Maybe next time I'll let the dead bury the dead.
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.
Well it's way past midnight and there are people all around;
Some on their way up, some on their way down
I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch.
Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line,;
Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine.
Just what do you think you have to guard?
And I can't let go, won't let go, and I can't let go no more.
No knife could ever cut our love apart
Run your fingers down my spine;
Bring me a touch of bliss
Try to be pure at heart, they arrest you for robbery,;
Mistake your shyness for aloofness, your shyness for snobbery
You say my kisses are not like his,;
But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is.
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells;
I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
If you're lookin' to get silly;
You better go back to from where you came
Well I don't dare close my eyes and I don't dare wink;
Maybe in the next life I'll be able to hear myself think
She knows there's no success like failure;
And that failure's no success at all.
Lovin' you is the one thing I'll never regret.
Turn your back, wash your hands,;
There's always someone who understands
If this is love then gimme more;
And more and more and more and more.
And, when I was through;
I filled up my shoe;
And brought it to you.
