Goodnight, my love, may the lord have mercy on us all.
For the loser now; Will be later to win
How can I explain?; Oh, it's so hard to get on
Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder
And they're breaking down the distance; Between right and wrong.
Well, I don't have to be no doctor, babe,; To see that you're madly in love.
Someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody
No time to suffer or blink; And no time to think
Something there is about you that brings back a long forgotten truth
Won't you descend from the throne, from where you sit?
He looks so truthful, is this how he feels; Trying to peel the moon and expose it
Tell ev'rybody; Down in ol' 'Frisco; That Tiny Montgomery's comin'; Down to say Hello
Well I don't dare close my eyes and I don't dare wink; Maybe in the next life I'll be able to hear myself think
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.
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke
I am hanging in the balance, of the reality of man; like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand
Am I no longer a part of your plans or your dreams?
Most of the time; I can't even be sure; If she was ever with me; Or if I was with her.
Soon as a man is born, you know the sparks begin to fly, He gets wise in his own eyes and he's made to believe a lie.
It's too bright a light, he said, "For anybody's eyes,; If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me,; See like me or be like me.
Lay down your weary tune, lay down,; Lay down the song you strum,; And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings; No voice can hope to hum.
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
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
Gon' walk on down that dirt road 'til I'm right beside the sun
She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe; "I thought you'd never say hello," she said; "You look like the silent type."
Three fellas crawlin' on their way back to work,; Nobody stops to ask why.
If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise, remind me to show you the, scars.
your pleasure knows no limits
Satan whispers to ya, "Well, I don't want to bore ya,; But when ya get tired of the Miss So-and-so I got another woman for ya."
Those are the hill of heaven, my love; You and I'll never know
time is running backwards
You can pound on the President's gate; But you oughta know by now it's gonna be too late.
I wouldn't be ashamed to be seen with you anywhere.
Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed; Dignity never been photographed
Well my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
Every brain is civilized,; Every nerve is analyzed,; Everything is criticized when you are in need.
What drives me to you is what drives me insane.
You'd better do somethin' quick; She's your lover now.
Don't you know there's nothing new that's under the sun?; Well, there ain't no man righteous, no not one.
I'm goin' down to Tennessee,; Get me a truck 'r somethin'.; Gonna save my money and rip it up!
I hate myself for lovin' you and the weakness that it showed; You were just a painted face on a trip down Suicide Road
So long, New York.; Howdy, East Orange.
I thought somehow that I would be spared this fate
I can smile in the face of mankind.; Don't even remember what her lips felt like on mine; Most of the time.
Don't the moon look good, mama, Shinin' through the trees?
I'm in a cowboy band
Well, I spied a girl and before she could leave,; "Let's go and play Adam and Eve."; I took her by the hand and my heart it was thumpin'; When she said, "Hey man, you crazy or sumpin',; You see what happened last time they started."
It was then that I got up to leave; But she said, "Don't forget,; Everybody must give something back; For something they get."
Oh, baby, that god you been prayin' to; Is gonna give ya back what you're wishin' on someone else
Oh, some of us'll end up; In St. Cloud Prison,; And some of us'll wind up, To be lawyers and things
the cops don't need you; and man they expect the same
You have explained every mystery.; What can I do for You?
What kind of sign they need when it all come from within
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
I don't want to fake you out
Lookin' at my shadow watching the colors up above
I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch.
