Go 'way from my window,; Leave at your own chosen speed.
Now, don't crowd me, lady; Or I'll fill up your shoe
Now I wish I could write you a melody so plain; That could hold you dear lady from going insane
Today on the countryside it was a-hotter than a crotch
Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that it passes through
Time passes slowly when you're lost in a dream.
I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.
I'm in love with the Ugliest Girl in the World
Gonna sleep down in the parlor; And relive my dreams
Has the record been breaking,; Did the needle just skip
Well my house is on fire, burning to the sky
Have I surrendered to the will of God; Or am I still acting like the boss?
Satan whispers to ya, "Well, I don't want to bore ya,; But when ya get tired of the Miss So-and-so I got another woman for ya."
take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind
May you build a ladder to the stars; And climb on every rung.
Well, I spied a girl and before she could leave,; "Let's go and play Adam and Eve."; I took her by the hand and my heart it was thumpin'; When she said, "Hey man, you crazy or sumpin',; You see what happened last time they started."
Whatever you gonna do,; Please do it fast.
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.
When there is no more,; You cut to the core; Quicker than anyone I knew.
don't criticize; what you can't understand.
Too many thoughts get in the way in the day
Sooner or later, one of us must know; That I really did try to get close to you
The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
You could ride like Annie Oakley,; You could shoot like Belle Starr.
I'm going out of my mind; With a pain that stops and starts
It's too bright a light, he said, "For anybody's eyes,; If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."
Some things are too hot to touch; The human mind can only stand so much
Now there's spiritual warfare and flesh and blood breaking down.; Ya either got faith or ya got unbelief and there ain't no neutral ground.
Don't trust me to show you beauty; When beauty may only turn to rust.
Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,; Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
They tell me revenge is sweet and from where they stand, I'm sure it is.
If the bible is right, the world will explode
Let me ask you one question; Is your money that good
Don't trust me to show you love; When my love may be only lust.
Try to be pure at heart, they arrest you for robbery,; Mistake your shyness for aloofness, your shyness for snobbery
The walls of pride are high and wide; Can't see over to the other side; It's such a sad thing to see beauty decay; It's sadder still, to feel your heart torn away
All the tired horses in the sun; How'm I supposed to get any ridin' done? Hmm.
Leaving men wholly, totally free; To do anything they wish to do but die
Everybody's doin' something,; I heard it in a dream,; But when there's too much of nothing,; It just makes a fella mean.
Well, there's voices in the night trying to be heard; I'm sitting here listening to every mind polluting word
I can't provide for you no easy answers,; Who are you that I should have to lie?
You were snow, you were rain; You were striped, you were plain,;
When I met you, baby,; You didn't show no visible scars.
Wealth is a filthy rag; So erotic so unpatriotic; So wrapped up in the American flag
Goodnight, my love, may the lord have mercy on us all.
as long as the world keeps a-turnin', I just keep a-turnin' too.
But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency,; All non-believers and men stealers talkin' in the name of religion
My children will go, As soon as they grow.; Well, there ain't nothing here now to hold them.
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind; You could have done better but I don't mind; You just kinda wasted my precious time
Somethin' there is about you that I can't quite put my finger on.
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
Yesterday everything was going too fast; Today, it's moving too slow
The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face
Well, if I had to do it all over again,; Babe, I'd do it all over you.
Oh, baby, that god you been prayin' to; Is gonna give ya back what you're wishin' on someone else
