But the magician is quicker and his game; Is much thicker than blood and blacker than ink
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take; To find dignity
It's for myself and my friends my stories are sung.
In the fury of the moment I can see the Master's hand; In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand.
Temptation's not an easy thing
I finally realize there's no room for regret
Not one more night, not one more kiss,; Not this time baby, no more of this,; Takes too much skill, takes too much will,; It's revealing.
It's so impossible to even learn the tune.
How does it feel
The treasure can't be found by men who search
the cops don't need you; and man they expect the same
Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring.
I'll see you later when I'm not so out of my head,; Maybe next time I'll let the dead bury the dead.
We're idiots, babe.; It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves.
I was all right 'til I fell in love with you
'Cause he doesn't tell you jokes or fairy tales, say he's got no style.
I hear that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.
Everybody must get stoned.
Lovin' you is the one thing I'll never regret.
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours
Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift
You got a lotta nerve; To say you are my friend
Nations are angry, cursed are some,; People are expecting a false peace to come.
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
Drinkin' man listens to the voice he hears; In a crowded room full of covered up mirrors; Lookin' into the lost forgotten years; For dignity
Oh the fishes will laugh; As they swim out of the path; And the seagulls they'll be smiling.
Silver and gold; Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
There are those who worship loneliness, I'm not one of them
If God's on our side; He'll stop the next war.
Your magnetic movements; Still capture the minutes I'm in.
If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry,; What good am I?
Now, a very great man once said; That some people rob you with a fountain pen.; It didn't take too long to find out; Just what he was talkin' about.
They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table.
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.
What looks large from a distance,; Close up ain't never that big.
My children will go, As soon as they grow.; Well, there ain't nothing here now to hold them.
I been hangin’ on threads
I been playin’ it straight
Now, I’ve just got to cut loose
Before it gets late
When you know as well as me; You'd rather see me paralyzed
I see people who are supposed to know better standin' around like furniture.
Get the loot, don't be slow, we're gonna catch a trout
When you cease to exist, then who will you blame?; I've tried my best to love you, but I cannot play this game; Your best friend and my worst enemy is one and the same
I just can't fit; Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
We grew up together; From the cradle to the grave; We died and were reborn; And then mysteriously saved.
Some things last longer than you think they will; There are some kind of things you can never kill
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
I wish that for just one time; You could stand inside my shoes; You'd know what a drag it is; To see you
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
And every time you get this close; It makes me want to scream
While my conscience explodes; The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
May you build a ladder to the stars; And climb on every rung.
You don't need a weather man; To know which way the wind blows
Every day of the year's like playin' Russian roulette
Those are the hills of hell-fire my love; Where you and I will unite
