take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind
Some things are too hot to touch; The human mind can only stand so much
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting; That's hanging in the Louvre
Searching for my double, looking for; Complete evaporation to the core
You got a lotta nerve; To say you are my friend
Well my nerves are exploding and my body's tense; I feel like the whole world got me pinned up against the fence
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
Oh ev'ry foe that ever I faced
The cause was there before we came.
This time tomorrow I'll know you better; When my memory is not so short.
Won't you dance with me?; I'm fallin' in love with you.
The pump don't work; 'Cause the vandals took the handles
Oh, ev'ry thought that's strung a knot in my mind,; I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung.
My feet are so tired, my brain is so wired
Hot chili peppers in the blistering sun
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke
Well, the road is rocky and the hillside's mud; Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood
I'm in the streets; With the tombstone blues
If you're lookin' to get silly; You better go back to from where you came
I got new eyes ; Everything looks far away
You could make me cry if you don't know.
Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,; That we could sit simply in that room again.
This wheel shall explode!
All I really want to do,; Is, baby, be friends with you.
Now, I can't go back to what was, baby,; I can't unring the bell.
Well, you're on your own, you always were,; In a land of wolves and thieves.
Get the loot, don't be slow, we're gonna catch a trout
She still lives inside of me, we've never been apart.
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
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.
I'm sick of love but I'm in the thick of it
I fought with my twin, that enemy within, 'til both of us fell by the way.
I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring.
You will search, babe, At any cost.; But how long, babe, Can you search for what's not lost?
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast;
Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last.
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.
Those are the hills of hell-fire my love; Where you and I will unite
Your magnetic movements; Still capture the minutes I'm in.
Try to be pure at heart, they arrest you for robbery,; Mistake your shyness for aloofness, your shyness for snobbery
Give ya delusions of grandeur; And a evil eye; Give you idea that; You're too good to die
The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed
I'm in a cowboy band
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
The drinks are ready and the dogs are going to war
Those are the hill of heaven, my love; You and I'll never know
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
Now the rainman gave me two cures,; Then he said, "Jump right in."; The one was Texas medicine,; The other was just railroad gin.
She knows where I'd like to be; But it doesn't matter.
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.
Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy
he not busy being born, Is busy dying
It's too bright a light, he said, "For anybody's eyes,; If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."
My head tells me it's time to make a change; But my heart is telling me I love ya but you're strange.
Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,; Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
Don't the moon look good, mama, Shinin' through the trees?
Put your ear to the train tracks, put your ear to the ground,; You ever feel like you're never alone even when there's nobody else around?; Since the beginning of the universe man's been cursed by trouble.
People ask about you; I didn't tell them everything I knew
