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?
Dark Beauty; Meet me at the border late tonight
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously; But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
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.
The sun's not yellow it's chicken
Well, I asked for something to eat; I'm hungry as a hog; So I get brown rice, seaweed; And a dirty hot dog
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.
With haunted hearts through the heat and cold
We never thought we could ever get old
Seen the arrow on the doorpost; Saying, "This land is condemned; All the way from New Orleans; To Jerusalem."
I'll give you more gold; Than your apron can hold; If you'll only let your hair hang low
The way is long but the end is near, Already the fiesta has begun
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,; Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,; With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,; Let me forget about today until tomorrow.
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
If this is love then gimme more; And more and more and more and more.
And I can't let go, won't let go, and I can't let go no more.
Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love.
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
Was that the thunder that I heard?; My head is vibrating, I feel a sharp pain
You don't need a weather man; To know which way the wind blows
Now you stand here expectin' me to remember somethin' you forgot to say
What drives me to you is what drives me insane.
Well the desert is hot, the mountain is cursed,; Pray that I don't die of thirst,; Baby, two feet from the well.
But I will be back, I will survive,; You'll never get rid of me as long as you're alive.
You'd better do somethin' quick; She's your lover now.
Talk about perfection, I ain't never seen none
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things that remain?
if there's an original thought out there, I could use it right now
Don't trust me to show you love; When my love may be only lust.
I got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles,; I think maybe we'd better leave each other alone.
Where black is the color, where none is the number
Something there is about you that brings back a long forgotten truth
What happened to the real you, you've been captured but by whom?
It's many a guard; That stands around smilin',; Holdin' his club; Like he was a king.
Maybe they'll get me and maybe they won't; But not tonight and it won't be here; There are things I could say but I don't; I know the mercy of God must be near
So long, New York.; Howdy, East Orange.
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past; I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
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.
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
If God's on our side; He'll stop the next war.
Louise, she's all right, she's just near; She's delicate and seems like the mirror; But she just makes it all too concise and too clear; That Johanna's not here
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation; There are no words that need to be said
Don't follow leaders; Watch the parkin' meters
I wasn't born to lose you.
Last night I danced with a stranger; But she just reminded me you were the one
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke
The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face
Every time you leave and go off someplace,; Things fall to pieces in my face
I need a steam shovel mama to keep away the dead
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.
I got nothing left to burn
You think you can hide but you're never alone,; Ask Lot what he thought when his wife turned to stone.
I can smile in the face of mankind.; Don't even remember what her lips felt like on mine; Most of the time.
Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties; Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
Love is so simple, to quote a phrase,; You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days.
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.
