And every time you get this close; It makes me want to scream
Dark Beauty; Meet me at the border late tonight
Put my tears in a bottle
Screw the top on tight
They tell me revenge is sweet and from where they stand, I'm sure it is.
This wheel shall explode!
Well it's way past midnight and there are people all around; Some on their way up, some on their way down
Whatever you gonna do,; Please do it fast.
And if my thought-dreams could be seen, They'd probably put my head in a guillotine
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.
Oh, baby, that god you been prayin' to; Is gonna give ya back what you're wishin' on someone else
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
Ring them bells, for the time that flies,; For the child that cries; When innocence dies.
You have explained every mystery.; What can I do for You?
If dogs run free, why not me; Across the swamp of time?
Did I miss the mark or; Over-step the line; That only you could see?
I couldn't see what you could show me; Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
Someone else is speakin' with my mouth, but I'm listening only to my heart.
I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too"; He said, "You're not Him"
But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency
Done so many evil things in the name of love, it's a crying shame; I never did see no fire that could put out a flame.
Oh, some of us'll end up; In St. Cloud Prison,; And some of us'll wind up, To be lawyers and things
Some things last longer than you think they will; There are some kind of things you can never kill
When you think that you lost everything; You find out you can always lose a little more
Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood.; He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good.
I stood unwound beneath the skies; And clouds unbound by laws.
You were snow, you were rain; You were striped, you were plain,;
You should be made; To wear earphones
there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
All the tired horses in the sun; How'm I supposed to get any ridin' done? Hmm.
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.
I've paid the price of solitude, but at last I'm out of debt.
And every one of them words rang true; And glowed like burnin' coal; Pourin' off of every page; Like it was written in my soul from me to you
Saw you drift into infinity and come back again
You could ride like Annie Oakley,; You could shoot like Belle Starr.
It's all been designed, he said, "To make you lose your mind,; And when you go back to find it, there's nothing there to find."
What happened to the real you, you've been captured but by whom?
How can I explain?; Oh, it's so hard to get on
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
The sun's not yellow it's chicken
Your magnetic movements; Still capture the minutes I'm in.
I just can't fit; Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
The sky is erupting, I must go where it's quiet.
People disagreeing everywhere you look,; Makes you wanna stop and read a book.
We're idiots, babe.; It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves.
She knows where I'd like to be; But it doesn't matter.
Oh ev'ry foe that ever I faced
The cause was there before we came.
Shall I hold you close?; Or Shall I let you go by?; Tell me.; Tell me.
I finally realize there's no room for regret
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,; That we could sit simply in that room again.
I need a steam shovel mama to keep away the dead
In the fury of the moment I can see the Master's hand; In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand.
Try to be pure at heart, they arrest you for robbery,; Mistake your shyness for aloofness, your shyness for snobbery
I like the cool way you look at me,; Everything about you is bringing me; Misery.
Precious angel, you believe me when I say; What God has given to us no man can take away.
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.
