Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line,; Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine.
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
You lose yourself, you reappear
I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down
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
If there's a poor boy on the street,; Then let him have my seat; 'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
I was in your presence for an hour or so; Or was it a day? I truly don't know.
I got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles,; I think maybe we'd better leave each other alone.
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.
Does she know I still care?
The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face
When He rose from the dead, did they believe?
Saw you drift into infinity and come back again
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,; And the dust of rumors covers me.
One of these days and it won't be long; Going down in the valley and sing my song; I will sing it loud and sing it strong; Let the echo decide if I was right or wrong
I finally realize there's no room for regret
Oh, but if I had the stars from the darkest night,; And the diamonds from the deepest ocean,; I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss,; For that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'.
Precious angel, you believe me when I say; What God has given to us no man can take away.
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
He said, Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?; I said, I got no money. He said, That ain't necessary.
Oh the fishes will laugh; As they swim out of the path; And the seagulls they'll be smiling.
The sun's not yellow it's chicken
And you never ask questions; When God's on your side.
While my conscience explodes; The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
If you're lookin' to get silly; You better go back to from where you came
When he died I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious
Nations are angry, cursed are some,; People are expecting a false peace to come.
I need a steam shovel mama to keep away the dead
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,; All the pigeons gonna run to him.
Everything passes,; Everything changes,; Just do what you think you should do.
Every time you leave and go off someplace,; Things fall to pieces in my face
I must admit I felt a little uneasy; When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast;
Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last.
The treasure can't be found by men who search
She's got everything she needs,; She's an artist, she don't look back
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
Lookin' at my shadow watching the colors up above
I was in a whirlwind, now I'm in some better place.
We always did feel the same,; We just saw it from a different point of view
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
I fought with my twin, that enemy within, 'til both of us fell by the way.
I'm listening to Neil Young, I gotta turn up the sound; Someone's always yelling turn it down
How can I explain?; Oh, it's so hard to get on
'Cause he doesn't tell you jokes or fairy tales, say he's got no style.
Now, when I was just a bawlin' child,; I saw what I wanted to be
There's some people that; You don't forget,; Even though you've only seen'm; One time or two.
Goodnight, my love, may the lord have mercy on us all.
I couldn't see where we were goin'; But you said you knew an' I took your word
I know all about poison, I know all about fiery darts,; I don't care how rough the road is, show me where it starts,; Whatever pleases You, tell it to my heart.
You know, news of you has come down the line; Even before ya came in the door.; They say in your father's house, there's many mansions; Each one of them got a fireproof floor.
Well, I don't have to be no doctor, babe,; To see that you're madly in love.
Gonna sleep down in the parlor; And relive my dreams
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.
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.
How did I meet you? I don't know.
Just what do you think you have to guard?
She still lives inside of me, we've never been apart.
