Now, when I was just a bawlin' child,; I saw what I wanted to be
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats; Too noble to neglect; Deceived me into thinking; I had something to protect
All the people we used to know; Are an illusion to me now
The night is pitch black, come an' make my; Pale face fit into place, ah, please!
Don’t think twice, it’s all right
Always on the outside of whatever side there was,; When they asked him why it had to be that way, "Well," he answered, "just because."
I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast;
Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last.
In the home of the brave, Jefferson turnin' over in his grave
And if my thought-dreams could be seen, They'd probably put my head in a guillotine
I stood unwound beneath the skies; And clouds unbound by laws.
Oh ev'ry foe that ever I faced
The cause was there before we came.
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
There are those who worship loneliness, I'm not one of them
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
Searching for my double, looking for; Complete evaporation to the core
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me,; See like me or be like me.
Saw you drift into infinity and come back again
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
You say you love me; And you're thinkin' of me,; But you know you could be wrong.
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency
It's mighty funny; the end of time has just begun
I'll remember you; At the end of the trail,; I had so much left to do,; I had so little time to fail.
If I ever lose her I will go insane; I go half crazy when she calls my name
I don't need no alibi when I'm spending time with you.; I've heard all of them rumors and you have heard 'em too.
This is the key to the kingdom and this is the town; This is the blind horse that leads you around
And now the heart is filled with gold; As if it was a purse.; But, oh, what kind of love is this; Which goes from bad to worse?
I feel nothing for their game where beauty goes unrecognized
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
Because something is happening here; But you don't know what it is; Do you, Mister Jones?
This time tomorrow I'll know you better; When my memory is not so short.
I hate myself for lovin' you and the weakness that it showed; You were just a painted face on a trip down Suicide Road
I don't want to fake you out
Today on the countryside it was a-hotter than a crotch
Time is all I have to give
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours
It was true that in his later years he would not carry a gun; "I'm around too many children," he'd say, "they should never know of one."
We're idiots, babe.; It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves.
I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.
I believe in the impossible, you know that I do
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
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.
What kind of sign they need when it all come from within
They tell me revenge is sweet and from where they stand, I'm sure it is.
Whatever you wanted; Slipped out of my mind
I look into the eyes of my merciful friend
And then I ask myself, is this the end?
Memories linger, sad yet sweet
And I think of the souls in heaven who will meet
I'm in a cowboy band
That's how it is when things disintegrate
People ask about you; I didn't tell them everything I knew
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go; To the valley below
And, when I was through; I filled up my shoe; And brought it to you.
Have I surrendered to the will of God; Or am I still acting like the boss?
He said, Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?; I said, I got no money. He said, That ain't necessary.
They say ev'rything can be replaced
All the tired horses in the sun; How'm I supposed to get any ridin' done? Hmm.
Well, there's voices in the night trying to be heard; I'm sitting here listening to every mind polluting word
One of these days and it won't be long; Going down in the valley and sing my song; I will sing it loud and sing it strong; Let the echo decide if I was right or wrong
