I am hanging in the balance, of the reality of man;
like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand
Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood.;
He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good.
May you have a strong foundation;
When the winds of changes shift
Oh my name it is nothin';
My age it means less
I'm walking through streets that are dead
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore;
You may not see me tomorrow.
It's many a guard;
That stands around smilin',;
Holdin' his club;
Like he was a king.
Well, you're so bad and nasty;
But I love you, yes I do
I got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles,;
I think maybe we'd better leave each other alone.
Well, the chances are against it and the odds are slim,;
That he'll live by the rules that the world makes for him
They don't want me around;
'Cause I believe in you.
That's how it is when things disintegrate
You were trying to break into another world;
A world I never knew.;
I always kind of wondered;
If you ever made it through.
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
If the bible is right, the world will explode
Handy dandy, he got a basket of flowers and a bag full or sorrow
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
It's the last temptation;
The last account;
The last time you might hear the sermon on the mount,;
The last radio is playing.
Look into infinity, all you see is trouble.
Someone else is speakin' with my mouth, but I'm listening only to my heart.
But the magician is quicker and his game;
Is much thicker than blood and blacker than ink
Ain't no reason to go anywhere.
Not one more night, not one more kiss,;
Not this time baby, no more of this,;
Takes too much skill, takes too much will,;
It's revealing.
Well, You've done it all and there's no more anyone can pretend to do.;
What can I do for You?
I need a dump truck mama to unload my head
I got new eyes ;
Everything looks far away
Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy
The vagabond who's rapping at your door;
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
My conscience is beginning to bother me today.
We're idiots, babe.;
It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves.
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
A million faces at my feet;
But all I see are dark eyes
Always on the outside of whatever side there was,;
When they asked him why it had to be that way, "Well," he answered, "just because."
Lot of water under the bridge, Lot of other stuff too;
Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells;
I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
This is the key to the kingdom and this is the town;
This is the blind horse that leads you around
I thought somehow that I would be spared this fate
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take;
To find dignity
I hate myself for lovin' you and the weakness that it showed;
You were just a painted face on a trip down Suicide Road
You're the one I adore, come over here and give me more
You will search, babe, At any cost.;
But how long, babe, Can you search for what's not lost?
They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table.
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.
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.
At dawn my lover comes to me;
And tells me of her dreams;
With no attempts to shovel the glimpse;
Into the ditch of what each one means
Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss.
He said, Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?;
I said, I got no money. He said, That ain't necessary.
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
Now, don't crowd me, lady;
Or I'll fill up your shoe
Tell her she can look me up if she's got the time.
I'm listening to Neil Young, I gotta turn up the sound;
Someone's always yelling turn it down
Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted
I was in your presence for an hour or so;
Or was it a day? I truly don't know.
You cast your spell and I went under,;
I find it so difficult to leave.
