I'm going back to New York City; I do believe I've had enough
Well, there's voices in the night trying to be heard; I'm sitting here listening to every mind polluting word
Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love.
But I will be back, I will survive,; You'll never get rid of me as long as you're alive.
I don't need any reminder; To know how much I really care
It's too bright a light, he said, "For anybody's eyes,; If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
Oh it's rush hour now; On the wheel and the plow; And the sun is going down; Upon the sacred cow.
I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch.
Here is your throat back; Thanks for the loan
There's some people that; You don't forget,; Even though you've only seen'm; One time or two.
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells; I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
What makes the wind wanna blow tonight?
This time tomorrow I'll know you better; When my memory is not so short.
As the last fire truck from hell; Goes rolling by, all good people are praying
We're going all the way 'til the wheels fall off and burn
Through the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales
Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties; Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
If you're a doctor, I need a shot of love.
I need a dump truck mama to unload my head
Everybody must get stoned.
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
Just what do you think you have to guard?
I wish that for just one time; You could stand inside my shoes; You'd know what a drag it is; To see you
Trees that've stood for a thousand years suddenly will fall.
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
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
If I ever lose her I will go insane; I go half crazy when she calls my name
There's always some new stranger sneakin' glances,; Some trigger-happy fool willin' to take chances
I seen the kingdoms of the world and it's makin' me feel afraid.
All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
Insanity is smashing up against my soul; You can say I was on anything but a roll; If I had a conscience, well I just might blow my top; What would I do with it anyway ; Maybe take it to the pawn shop
Wallflower, wallflower; Take a chance on me.; Please let me ride you home.
They tell me revenge is sweet and from where they stand, I'm sure it is.
They tell me everything is gonna be all right; But I don't know what "all right" even means
We grew up together; From the cradle to the grave; We died and were reborn; And then mysteriously saved.
And then you told me later, as I apologized; That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise, remind me to show you the, scars.
Well, I try my best; To be just like I am,; But everybody wants you; To be just like them.
Everybody's wearing a disguise; To hide what they've got left behind their eyes
What was it you wanted; When you were kissing my check?
I believe in the impossible, you know that I do
Whatever you wanted; Slipped out of my mind
Wiggle 'til you're high, wiggle 'til you're higher,; Wiggle 'til you vomit fire
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.; Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
Don't you cry and don't you die and don't you burn
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
She knows where I'd like to be; But it doesn't matter.
Any day now, any day now,; I shall be released.
I'm in a cowboy band
My head tells me it's time to make a change; But my heart is telling me I love ya but you're strange.
there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden
Oh, ev'ry thought that's strung a knot in my mind,; I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung.
I can tell you fancy, I can tell you plain; You give something up for everything you gain
to live outside the law, you must be honest
While my conscience explodes; The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
