Ring them bells, for the time that flies,; For the child that cries; When innocence dies.
Ain't complaining 'bout what I got; Seen better times, but who has not?
They like to take all this money from sin, build big universities to study in; Sing Amazing Grace all the way to the Swiss banks
people don’t live or die, people just float
And I, I don't mind the pain; Don't mind the driving rain; I know I will sustain; 'Cause I believe in you.
And you, you took me in,; You loved me then; You didn't waste time.
I can smile in the face of mankind.; Don't even remember what her lips felt like on mine; Most of the time.
I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still
All the laughter is just making me sad
You're gonna have to serve somebody.
Some things last longer than you think they will; There are some kind of things you can never kill
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?
May you build a ladder to the stars; And climb on every rung.
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
People tell me it's a sin; To know and feel too much within.
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.
I need a steam shovel mama to keep away the dead
Everybody's doin' something,; I heard it in a dream,; But when there's too much of nothing,; It just makes a fella mean.
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
I gotta go; Find out something only dead men know
Nations are angry, cursed are some,; People are expecting a false peace to come.
I can change, I swear, oh, oh,; See what you can do.; I can make it through,; You can make it too.
Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues; You can tell by the way she smiles
I thought somehow that I would be spared this fate
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting; That's hanging in the Louvre
Well it's way past midnight and there are people all around; Some on their way up, some on their way down
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
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.
My so-called friends have fallen under a spell.; They look me squarely in the eye and they say, "All is well."; Can they imagine the darkness that will fall from on high; When men will beg God to kill them and they won't be able to die?
Thought I'd shaken the wonder and the phantoms of my youth
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
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
Too many thoughts get in the way in the day
Yes, I know now, traps are only set by me; And I do not really need to be; Assured that love is just a four-letter word
Now you stand here expectin' me to remember somethin' you forgot to say
Well, I asked for something to eat; I'm hungry as a hog; So I get brown rice, seaweed; And a dirty hot dog
Run your fingers down my spine; Bring me a touch of bliss
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go; To the valley below
All I really want to do,; Is, baby, be friends with you.
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
If I had wings and I could fly,; I know where I would go.
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
Never could learn to drink that blood; And call it wine
We're going all the way 'til the wheels fall off and burn
It was then that I got up to leave; But she said, "Don't forget,; Everybody must give something back; For something they get."
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin,; Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in.
Roses are red, violets are blue; And time is beginning to crawl
Your cracked country lips,; I still wish to kiss,; As to be under the strength of your skin.
Shine your light, shine your light on me; Ya know I just couldn't make it by myself.; I'm a little too blind to see
Maybe they'll get me and maybe they won't; But not tonight and it won't be here; There are things I could say but I don't; I know the mercy of God must be near
I'll remember you; At the end of the trail,; I had so much left to do,; I had so little time to fail.
I must admit I felt a little uneasy; When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',; But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
I've been walking through the middle of nowhere; Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love.
