Where black is the color, where none is the number
don't criticize;
what you can't understand.
Now I wish I could write you a melody so plain;
That could hold you dear lady from going insane
Well, You've done it all and there's no more anyone can pretend to do.;
What can I do for You?
I'm going back to New York City;
I do believe I've had enough
Down the highway, down the tracks, down the road to ecstasy,;
I followed you beneath the stars, hounded by your memory,;
And all your ragin' glory.
I don't need any reminder;
To know how much I really care
I'm in love with the Ugliest Girl in the World
Too many thoughts get in the way in the day
A saxophone someplace far off played
Whatever you wanted;
Slipped out of my mind
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past;
I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
I'm goin' down to Tennessee,;
Get me a truck 'r somethin'.;
Gonna save my money and rip it up!
Give me a string bean, I'm a hungry man.
I just can't fit;
Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
Wealth is a filthy rag;
So erotic so unpatriotic;
So wrapped up in the American flag
Reality has always had too many heads
Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats;
Too noble to neglect;
Deceived me into thinking;
I had something to protect
But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency
Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer;
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.
You lose yourself, you reappear
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
Wallflower, wallflower;
Take a chance on me.;
Please let me ride you home.
if every bone in his body was broken he would never admit it
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss.
If there's a poor boy on the street,;
Then let him have my seat;
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the Jack of Hearts
Every time you leave and go off someplace,;
Things fall to pieces in my face
People tell me it's a sin;
To know and feel too much within.
Nations are angry, cursed are some,;
People are expecting a false peace to come.
But I will be back, I will survive,;
You'll never get rid of me as long as you're alive.
Well, there's voices in the night trying to be heard;
I'm sitting here listening to every mind polluting word
I couldn't see what you could show me;
Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
Senor, senor, let's disconnect these cables,;
Overturn these tables.;
This place don't make sense to me no more.
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things that remain?
If you're a doctor, I need a shot of love.
It's mighty funny;
the end of time has just begun
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
Lookin' at my shadow watching the colors up above
How long can I stay in this nowhere café
When you know as well as me;
You'd rather see me paralyzed
Well the desert is hot, the mountain is cursed,;
Pray that I don't die of thirst,;
Baby, two feet from the well.
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.
Has the record been breaking,;
Did the needle just skip
Are you still my friend, baby, show me a sign
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me,;
See like me or be like me.
Today on the countryside it was a-hotter than a crotch
your pleasure knows no limits
And the words that are used;
For to get the ship confused;
Will not be understood as they're spoken.
Temptation's not an easy thing
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
Some things in life, it gets too late to learn
Lost time is not found again
We grew up together;
From the cradle to the grave;
We died and were reborn;
And then mysteriously saved.
