The door has closed forevermore
If indeed there ever was a door
Senor, senor, let's disconnect these cables,; Overturn these tables.; This place don't make sense to me no more.
Well, you're so bad and nasty; But I love you, yes I do
I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech
Don't trust me to show you beauty; When beauty may only turn to rust.
Ring them bells, for the time that flies,; For the child that cries; When innocence dies.
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,; And the dust of rumors covers me.
Oh the fishes will laugh; As they swim out of the path; And the seagulls they'll be smiling.
Yes, I see you on your window ledge; But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge
Then she says, "I know you're an artist, draw a picture of me!"; I say, "I would if I could, but, ; I don't do sketches from memory."
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting; That's hanging in the Louvre
I got a poison headache,; But I feel all right
I thought somehow that I would be spared this fate
She knows where I'd like to be; But it doesn't matter.
Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy
What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this?
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,; That we could sit simply in that room again.
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me,; See like me or be like me.
In order to deal in this game, got to make the queen disappear,; It's done with a flick of the wrist.
Oh, baby, that god you been prayin' to; Is gonna give ya back what you're wishin' on someone else
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
Now you stand here expectin' me to remember somethin' you forgot to say
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.
Oh, man has invented his doom, First step was touching the moon.
We're both just one too many mornings; An' a thousand miles behind.
I want to thank You, Lord,; I just want to thank You, Lord,; Thank You, Lord.
Our conversation was short and sweet; It nearly swept me off-a my feet.
You can pound on the President's gate; But you oughta know by now it's gonna be too late.
When you cease to exist, then who will you blame?; I've tried my best to love you, but I cannot play this game; Your best friend and my worst enemy is one and the same
Son, this ain't a dream no more, it's the real thing.
God is in heaven; And we all want what's his; But power and greed and corruptible seed; Seem to be all that there is
I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
Wealth is a filthy rag; So erotic so unpatriotic; So wrapped up in the American flag
I see, I see lovers in the meadow; I see, I see silhouettes in the window; I watch them 'til they're gone and they leave me hanging on ; To a shadow
She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the Jack of Hearts
to live outside the law, you must be honest
You were trying to break into another world; A world I never knew.; I always kind of wondered; If you ever made it through.
Don't you cry and don't you die and don't you burn
I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down
I'm in a cowboy band
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
Oh, ev'ry thought that's strung a knot in my mind,; I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung.
Just what do you think you have to guard?
All my friends have told me; If I hang around with you; That I'll go blind
All he believes are his eyes, And his eyes, they just tell him lies
Well, there's voices in the night trying to be heard; I'm sitting here listening to every mind polluting word
Ever since you walked right in, the circle's been complete
Gon' walk on down that dirt road 'til I'm right beside the sun
An' here I sit so patiently; Waiting to find out what price; You have to pay to get out of; Going through all these things twice.
A saxophone someplace far off played
What drives me to you is what drives me insane.
Your loyalty is not to me; But to the stars above
It's mighty funny; the end of time has just begun
You will search, babe, At any cost.; But how long, babe, Can you search for what's not lost?
