People carry roses
Make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her
Today on the countryside it was a-hotter than a crotch
Boys in the street beginning to play; Girls like birds flying away
There are those who worship loneliness, I'm not one of them
When you know as well as me; You'd rather see me paralyzed
don't criticize; what you can't understand.
Precious angel, you believe me when I say; What God has given to us no man can take away.
The sky is trembling, And I must leave.
Well, I wake in the morning, Fold my hands and pray for rain.; I got a head full of ideas, That are drivin' me insane.
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
What was it you wanted; When you were kissing my check?
The walls of pride are high and wide; Can't see over to the other side; It's such a sad thing to see beauty decay; It's sadder still, to feel your heart torn away
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
Try to be pure at heart, they arrest you for robbery,; Mistake your shyness for aloofness, your shyness for snobbery
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke,; How long must I suffer, Lord, how long must I be provoked?; Satan will give you a little taste, then he'll move in with rapid speed,; Lord keep my blind side covered and see that I don't bleed.
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
Whatever you wanted; Slipped out of my mind
The night is pitch black, come an' make my; Pale face fit into place, ah, please!
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
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
The pump don't work; 'Cause the vandals took the handles
Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand,; And rivers that ran through ev'ry day.
Hot chili peppers in the blistering sun
he not busy being born, Is busy dying
It's the ways of the flesh to war against the spirit; Twenty-four hours a day you can feel it and you can hear it; Using all the devices under the sun.
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
Oh the fishes will laugh; As they swim out of the path; And the seagulls they'll be smiling.
She once was a true love of mine
They said it was the land of milk and honey,; now they say it's the land of money.; Who ever thought they could ever make that stick.
Trees that've stood for a thousand years suddenly will fall.
When you think that you lost everything; You find out you can always lose a little more
If you're looking for assistance, babe,; Or if you just want some company; Or if you just want a friend you can talk to,; Honey, come and see about me.
Oh what dear daughter 'neath the sun; Would treat a father so,; To wait upon him hand and foot; And always tell him, "No"?
I'm sick of love but I'm in the thick of it
Every brain is civilized,; Every nerve is analyzed,; Everything is criticized when you are in need.
If dogs run free, why not me; Across the swamp of time?
Where black is the color, where none is the number
Was that the thunder that I heard?; My head is vibrating, I feel a sharp pain
Time passes slowly when you're lost in a dream.
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
Junk is piling up, taking up space
I been hangin’ on threads
I been playin’ it straight
Now, I’ve just got to cut loose
Before it gets late
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
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
The sun's not yellow it's chicken
It was gravity which pulled us down and destiny which broke us apart
If you're a doctor, I need a shot of love.
There's always some new stranger sneakin' glances,; Some trigger-happy fool willin' to take chances
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting; That's hanging in the Louvre
People disagreeing on all just about everything, yeah,; Makes you stop and all wonder why.
I'm in love with the Ugliest Girl in the World
Well, I try my best; To be just like I am,; But everybody wants you; To be just like them.
I'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to me
I need a dump truck mama to unload my head
Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
Let's try to get beneath the surface waste, girl,; No more booby traps and bombs,; No more decadence and charm,; No more affection that's misplaced, girl
