In the home of the brave, Jefferson turnin' over in his grave
Reality has always had too many heads
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed,; Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features.
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."
Now the moon is almost hidden; The stars are beginning to hide; The fortunetelling lady; Has even taken all her things inside
Go melt back into the night, babe,; Everything inside is made of stone.; There's nothing in here moving, An' anyway I'm not alone.
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,; Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,; With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,; Let me forget about today until tomorrow.
Well, I try my best; To be just like I am,; But everybody wants you; To be just like them.
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.
You breathed on me and made my life a richer one to live,; When I was deep in poverty you taught me how to give
How does it feel
Soon as a man is born, you know the sparks begin to fly, He gets wise in his own eyes and he's made to believe a lie.
Trees that've stood for a thousand years suddenly will fall.
to live outside the law, you must be honest
Well it's way past midnight and there are people all around; Some on their way up, some on their way down
Handy dandy, he got a basket of flowers and a bag full or sorrow
I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings, And I've never been too impressed.
She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe; "I thought you'd never say hello," she said; "You look like the silent type."
Don't have to look no further, you're the soul of many things.
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
Tough Mama; Can I blow a little smoke on you?
Pardon, monsieur," the desk clerk says,; Carefully removes his fez,; "Am I hearin' you right?"
Dark Beauty; Meet me at the border late tonight
Time is all I have to give
I was all right 'til I fell in love with you
Well, you're on your own, you always were,; In a land of wolves and thieves.
I gotta go; Find out something only dead men know
The way is long but the end is near, Already the fiesta has begun
time is running backwards
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.
Lost time is not found again
I need a dump truck mama to unload my head
if every bone in his body was broken he would never admit it
Somebody's got to find your trail,; I guess it must be up to me.
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation; There are no words that need to be said
I don't know why I love her but I just can't stop
Now, when I was just a bawlin' child,; I saw what I wanted to be
People carry roses
Make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her
How can I explain?; Oh, it's so hard to get on
Well my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
people don’t live or die, people just float
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
Wallflower, wallflower; Take a chance on me.; Please let me ride you home.
It was gravity which pulled us down and destiny which broke us apart
They tell me revenge is sweet and from where they stand, I'm sure it is.
Boys in the street beginning to play; Girls like birds flying away
As his youth now unfolds; He is centuries old; Just to see him at play makes me smile; No matter what happens to me; No matter what my destiny; Lord, protect my child
She once was a true love of mine
I been hangin’ on threads
I been playin’ it straight
Now, I’ve just got to cut loose
Before it gets late
Through the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales
What was it you wanted; When you were kissing my check?
