The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed
All I really want to do,; Is, baby, be friends with you.
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.
If I ever lose her I will go insane; I go half crazy when she calls my name
You can pound on the President's gate; But you oughta know by now it's gonna be too late.
I believe in the impossible, you know that I do
Every time you leave and go off someplace,; Things fall to pieces in my face
So long, New York.; Howdy, East Orange.
Oh what dear daughter 'neath the sun; Would treat a father so,; To wait upon him hand and foot; And always tell him, "No"?
Mama, take this badge off of me
I want to thank You, Lord,; I just want to thank You, Lord,; Thank You, Lord.
I don't want to fake you out
Any day now, any day now,; I shall be released.
You speak to me; In sign language; As I'm eating a sandwich
I'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to me
My children will go, As soon as they grow.; Well, there ain't nothing here now to hold them.
People are crazy and times are strange
How did I meet you? I don't know.
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
I'd never say; That I done it the way; That you'd have liked me to.
Put your body next to mine; And keep me company,; There is plenty a room for all,; So please don't elbow me.
I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail,; Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail,; Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn.
Are you still my friend, baby, show me a sign
They say you're usin' voodoo, I seen your feet walk by themselves
Don't trust me to show you the truth; When the truth may only be ashes and dust.
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
No time to suffer or blink; And no time to think
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed,; Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features.
If I had wings and I could fly,; I know where I would go.
Praise be to Nero's Neptune; The Titanic sails at dawn; And everybody's shouting; Which Side Are You On?
We're going all the way 'til the wheels fall off and burn
I was in a whirlwind, now I'm in some better place.
the cops don't need you; and man they expect the same
Tell ev'rybody; Down in ol' 'Frisco; That Tiny Montgomery's comin'; Down to say Hello
Put my tears in a bottle
Screw the top on tight
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
Go 'way from my window,; Leave at your own chosen speed.
Whatever you gonna do,; Please do it fast.
Now, when I was just a bawlin' child,; I saw what I wanted to be
When destruction cometh swiftly; And there's no time to say a fare-thee-well,; Have you decided whether you want to be; In heaven or in hell?
Well, You've done it all and there's no more anyone can pretend to do.; What can I do for You?
I'm hungry and I'm irritable; And I'm tired of this bag of tricks.; At one time there was nothing wrong with me; That you could not fix.
Ain't no reason to go anywhere.
I'm goin' down to Tennessee,; Get me a truck 'r somethin'.; Gonna save my money and rip it up!
I feel nothing for their game where beauty goes unrecognized
Silver and gold; Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
I'm going back to New York City; I do believe I've had enough
And you never ask questions; When God's on your side.
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."
When you know as well as me; You'd rather see me paralyzed
What good am I if I say foolish things; And I laugh in the face of what sorrow brings; And I just turn my back while you silently die,; What good am I?
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.
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast;
Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last.
In the hills of mystery,; In the foggy web of destiny,; You can have what's left of me,; Where we were born in time.
Just what do you think you have to guard?
Those are the hills of hell-fire my love; Where you and I will unite
I couldn't see where we were goin'; But you said you knew an' I took your word
