Lay down your weary tune, lay down,; Lay down the song you strum,; And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings; No voice can hope to hum.
there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden
Won't you descend from the throne, from where you sit?
Yes, I see you on your window ledge; But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge
Wallflower, wallflower; Take a chance on me.; Please let me ride you home.
While my conscience explodes; The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke,; How long must I suffer, Lord, how long must I be provoked?; Satan will give you a little taste, then he'll move in with rapid speed,; Lord keep my blind side covered and see that I don't bleed.
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',; But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,; That we could sit simply in that room again.
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed; Dignity never been photographed
Thought I'd shaken the wonder and the phantoms of my youth
The night passed away so quickly; It always does when you're with me.
Our conversation was short and sweet; It nearly swept me off-a my feet.
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
May you have a strong foundation; When the winds of changes shift
All the people we used to know; Are an illusion to me now
My head tells me it's time to make a change; But my heart is telling me I love ya but you're strange.
Goodnight, my love, may the lord have mercy on us all.
Well, if I had to do it all over again,; Babe, I'd do it all over you.
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.
You can pound on the President's gate; But you oughta know by now it's gonna be too late.
Let's try to get beneath the surface waste, girl,; No more booby traps and bombs,; No more decadence and charm,; No more affection that's misplaced, girl
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.
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past; I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
Don't trust me to show you love; When my love may be only lust.
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast;
Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last.
There are those who worship loneliness, I'm not one of them
I'll see you later when I'm not so out of my head,; Maybe next time I'll let the dead bury the dead.
And I, I don't mind the pain; Don't mind the driving rain; I know I will sustain; 'Cause I believe in you.
Your mind is your temple, keep it beautiful and free,; Don't let an egg get laid in it by something you can't see.
Boys in the street beginning to play; Girls like birds flying away
All he believes are his eyes, And his eyes, they just tell him lies
Your loyalty is not to me; But to the stars above
And then you told me later, as I apologized; That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
If I had wings and I could fly,; I know where I would go.
Heart of mine be still,; You can play with fire, But you'll get the bill
Won't you come with me, baby?; I'll take you where you wanna go.; And if it don't work out, You'll be the first to know
I don't wanna be hers, I wanna be yours.
How did I meet you? I don't know.
What was it you wanted; When you were kissing my check?
I've already ripped out the phones, honey.; You can't walk the streets in a war
My children will go, As soon as they grow.; Well, there ain't nothing here now to hold them.
Put my tears in a bottle
Screw the top on tight
In the home of the brave
Jefferson turnin’ over in his grave
Try to be pure at heart, they arrest you for robbery,; Mistake your shyness for aloofness, your shyness for snobbery
I don't want to fake you out
You should be made; To wear earphones
Love is so simple, to quote a phrase,; You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days.
people don’t live or die, people just float
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting; That's hanging in the Louvre
She's a hypnotist collector
Yesterday everything was going too fast; Today, it's moving too slow
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed,; Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features.
