Now, when I was just a bawlin' child,; I saw what I wanted to be
Seen the arrow on the doorpost; Saying, "This land is condemned; All the way from New Orleans; To Jerusalem."
I can change, I swear, oh, oh,; See what you can do.; I can make it through,; You can make it too.
They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table.
They got him on conspiracy, they were never sure who with.
Won't you come with me, baby?; I'll take you where you wanna go.; And if it don't work out, You'll be the first to know
What kind of sign they need when it all come from within
But is your heart made out of stone, or is it lime; Or is it just solid rock?
In the hills of mystery,; In the foggy web of destiny,; You can have what's left of me,; Where we were born in time.
Those are the hill of heaven, my love; You and I'll never know
You're the one I adore, come over here and give me more
Your temperature's too hot for taming
Now at midnight all the agents; And the superhuman crew; Come out and round up everyone; That knows more than they do
the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me,; See like me or be like me.
The sun's not yellow it's chicken
I got nothing left to burn
The door has closed forevermore
If indeed there ever was a door
I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring.
Let me ask you one question; Is your money that good
Goodnight, my love, may the lord have mercy on us all.
At dawn my lover comes to me; And tells me of her dreams; With no attempts to shovel the glimpse; Into the ditch of what each one means
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch.
People on the platforms; Waiting for the trains; I can hear their hearts a-beatin'; Like pendulums swinging on chains
When they came for Him in the garden, did they know?
I don't need any reminder; To know how much I really care
When the last rays of daylight go down; Buddy, you'll roll no more; I can hear the church bells ringing in the yard; I wonder who they're ringing for
Everybody must get stoned.
You should be made; To wear earphones
Rock me, pretty baby, rock me 'til everything gets real; Rock me for a little while, rock me 'til there's nothing left to feel; And I'll rock you too
Wallflower, wallflower; Take a chance on me.; Please let me ride you home.
The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder
Well, the chances are against it and the odds are slim,; That he'll live by the rules that the world makes for him
The sky is erupting, I must go where it's quiet.
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take; To find dignity
You were snow, you were rain; You were striped, you were plain,;
We sat in an empty theater and we kissed,; I asked ya please to cross me off-a your list.
I just want you to know; I can see through your masks
It ain't my cup of meat.
I need a dump truck mama to unload my head
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
I got a poison headache,; But I feel all right
Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,; Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed
All the laughter is just making me sad
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.
Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand,; And rivers that ran through ev'ry day.
All I feel is heat and flame and all I see are dark eyes.
When I met you, baby,; You didn't show no visible scars.
Can't you make any sound?
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting; That's hanging in the Louvre
All the people we used to know; Are an illusion to me now
What looks large from a distance,; Close up ain't never that big.
I thought somehow that I would be spared this fate
Well, You've done it all and there's no more anyone can pretend to do.; What can I do for You?
