And you, you took me in,; You loved me then; You didn't waste time.
Everybody's wearing a disguise; To hide what they've got left behind their eyes
Ring them bells, for the time that flies,; For the child that cries; When innocence dies.
Reality has always had too many heads
Don't you cry and don't you die and don't you burn
Any day now, any day now,; I shall be released.
Satan whispers to ya, "Well, I don't want to bore ya,; But when ya get tired of the Miss So-and-so I got another woman for ya."
if every bone in his body was broken he would never admit it
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats; Too noble to neglect; Deceived me into thinking; I had something to protect
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind; You could have done better but I don't mind; You just kinda wasted my precious time
I'm going out of my mind; With a pain that stops and starts
You don't want a love that's pure; You wanna drown love; You want a watered-down love
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
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?
Tough Mama; Can I blow a little smoke on you?
And I, I don't mind the pain; Don't mind the driving rain; I know I will sustain; 'Cause I believe in you.
Give me a string bean, I'm a hungry man.
'Twas then that I knew what he had on his mind.
Tell ev'rybody; Down in ol' 'Frisco; That Tiny Montgomery's comin'; Down to say Hello
When He rose from the dead, did they believe?
If you're a doctor, I need a shot of love.
Am I no longer a part of your plans or your dreams?
Down the highway, down the tracks, down the road to ecstasy,; I followed you beneath the stars, hounded by your memory,; And all your ragin' glory.
Took a stranger to teach me, to look into justice's beautiful face; And to see an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
Talk about perfection, I ain't never seen none
And they're breaking down the distance; Between right and wrong.
Never could learn to drink that blood; And call it wine
I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech
Seen the arrow on the doorpost; Saying, "This land is condemned; All the way from New Orleans; To Jerusalem."
There's only one step down from here, baby,; It's called the land of permanent bliss.
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.
How does it feel
Silver and gold; Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
Well my house is on fire, burning to the sky
If dogs run free, why not me; Across the swamp of time?
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down
Oh the fishes will laugh; As they swim out of the path; And the seagulls they'll be smiling.
Oh my name it is nothin'; My age it means less
All he believes are his eyes, And his eyes, they just tell him lies
the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch.
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood
it is not he or she or them or it; That you belong to.
But I will be back, I will survive,; You'll never get rid of me as long as you're alive.
Everybody's doin' something,; I heard it in a dream,; But when there's too much of nothing,; It just makes a fella mean.
There are those who worship loneliness, I'm not one of them
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.
I was all right 'til I fell in love with you
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.
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past; I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go; To the valley below
It's for myself and my friends my stories are sung.
Let me ask you one question; Is your money that good
