We grew up together; From the cradle to the grave; We died and were reborn; And then mysteriously saved.
You lose yourself, you reappear
I'll remember you; When the wind blows through the piney wood.
I believe in the impossible, you know that I do
So long, New York.; Howdy, East Orange.
I gotta go; Find out something only dead men know
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
The drinks are ready and the dogs are going to war
Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,; Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
Well my house is on fire, burning to the sky
I don't know why I love her but I just can't stop
Don't trust me to show you the truth; When the truth may only be ashes and dust.
We heard the Sermon on the Mount and I knew it was too complex,; It didn't amount to anything more than what the broken glass reflects.
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats; Too noble to neglect; Deceived me into thinking; I had something to protect
Those are the hill of heaven, my love; You and I'll never know
It's the last temptation; The last account; The last time you might hear the sermon on the mount,; The last radio is playing.
If dogs run free, why not me; Across the swamp of time?
What makes the wind wanna blow tonight?
People disagreeing on all just about everything, yeah,; Makes you stop and all wonder why.
My conscience is beginning to bother me today.
At the corrida we'll sit in the shade; And watch the young torero stand alone.; We'll drink tequila where our grandfathers stayed; When they rode with Villa into Torreon.
Am I no longer a part of your plans or your dreams?
The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face
I've been hit too hard, I've seen too much; Nothing can heal me now, but your touch
Whatever you gonna do,; Please do it fast.
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
She said, "Be easy, baby,; There ain't nothin' worth stealin' in here."
I've paid the price of solitude, but at last I'm out of debt.
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me,; See like me or be like me.
Well, I try my best; To be just like I am,; But everybody wants you; To be just like them.
Give me a string bean, I'm a hungry man.
Now, when I was just a bawlin' child,; I saw what I wanted to be
Oh, some of us'll end up; In St. Cloud Prison,; And some of us'll wind up, To be lawyers and things
Love is so simple, to quote a phrase,; You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days.
don't criticize; what you can't understand.
Shall I hold you close?; Or Shall I let you go by?; Tell me.; Tell me.
I'm glad to see you're still alive, you're lookin' like a saint.
Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer; It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.
Go melt back into the night, babe,; Everything inside is made of stone.; There's nothing in here moving, An' anyway I'm not alone.
When he died I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious
I don't wanna be hers, I wanna be yours.
The sky is erupting, I must go where it's quiet.
Don't you cry and don't you die and don't you burn
Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory
he not busy being born, Is busy dying
I'll give you more gold; Than your apron can hold; If you'll only let your hair hang low
Now you stand here expectin' me to remember somethin' you forgot to say
It's the ways of the flesh to war against the spirit; Twenty-four hours a day you can feel it and you can hear it; Using all the devices under the sun.
Lookin' at my shadow watching the colors up above
They said it was the land of milk and honey,; now they say it's the land of money.; Who ever thought they could ever make that stick.
if there's an original thought out there, I could use it right now
Well my nerves are exploding and my body's tense; I feel like the whole world got me pinned up against the fence
