Last night I danced with a stranger; But she just reminded me you were the one
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,; And the dust of rumors covers me.
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
When He rose from the dead, did they believe?
Well, the chances are against it and the odds are slim,; That he'll live by the rules that the world makes for him
You're the one I've been looking for,; You're the one that's got the key.; But I can't figure out whether I'm too good for you; Or you're too good for me.
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.
While my conscience explodes; The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
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
Yesterday everything was going too fast; Today, it's moving too slow
If he needs a third eye he just grows it
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting; That's hanging in the Louvre
Won't you dance with me?; I'm fallin' in love with you.
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.
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.
Does she know I still care?
Here is your throat back; Thanks for the loan
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
But I will be back, I will survive,; You'll never get rid of me as long as you're alive.
I could say that I'd be faithful, I could say it in one sweet, easy breath; But to you that would be cruelty and to me it surely would be death.
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',; But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,; Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,; With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,; Let me forget about today until tomorrow.
I couldn't see where we were goin'; But you said you knew an' I took your word
Now you stand here expectin' me to remember somethin' you forgot to say
Senor, senor, let's disconnect these cables,; Overturn these tables.; This place don't make sense to me no more.
Oh, man has invented his doom, First step was touching the moon.
We're going all the way 'til the wheels fall off and burn
Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed
I finally realize there's no room for regret
Pardon, monsieur," the desk clerk says,; Carefully removes his fez,; "Am I hearin' you right?"
Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love.
Hot chili peppers in the blistering sun
He said, Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?; I said, I got no money. He said, That ain't necessary.
You can pound on the President's gate; But you oughta know by now it's gonna be too late.
people don’t live or die, people just float
Either I'm too sensitive or else I'm gettin' soft.
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
Just do your thing, you'll be king; If dogs run free.
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
I believe in the impossible, you know that I do
Tell her she can look me up if she's got the time.
Talk about perfection, I ain't never seen none
Don't the moon look good, mama, Shinin' through the trees?
Can you tell me what we're waiting for, senor?
You say you love me; And you're thinkin' of me,; But you know you could be wrong.
time is running backwards
There are those who worship loneliness, I'm not one of them
It's for myself and my friends my stories are sung.
If this is love then gimme more; And more and more and more and more.
When we meet again; Introduced as friends; Please don't let on that you knew me when; I was hungry and it was your world.
Drinkin' man listens to the voice he hears; In a crowded room full of covered up mirrors; Lookin' into the lost forgotten years; For dignity
And every time you get this close; It makes me want to scream
The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed
Without freedom of speech, I might be in the swamp.
You will search, babe, At any cost.; But how long, babe, Can you search for what's not lost?
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.
