Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory
Those are the hills of hell-fire my love; Where you and I will unite
Do you ever wonder just what God requires?; You think He's just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires.
But even the president of the United States, Sometimes must have, To stand naked.
Yes, I see you on your window ledge; But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss.
'Twas then that I knew what he had on his mind.
Boys in the street beginning to play; Girls like birds flying away
They tell me revenge is sweet and from where they stand, I'm sure it is.
Well, I try my best; To be just like I am,; But everybody wants you; To be just like them.
I was in a whirlwind, now I'm in some better place.
My so-called friends have fallen under a spell.; They look me squarely in the eye and they say, "All is well."; Can they imagine the darkness that will fall from on high; When men will beg God to kill them and they won't be able to die?
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
I got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles,; I think maybe we'd better leave each other alone.
Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer; It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.
The way is long but the end is near, Already the fiesta has begun
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed,; Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features.
I wish that for just one time; You could stand inside my shoes; You'd know what a drag it is; To see you
Whatever you wanted; Slipped out of my mind
What kind of sign they need when it all come from within
Nobody feels any pain
I'll remember you; When the wind blows through the piney wood.
The night passed away so quickly; It always does when you're with me.
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
Most of the time; I can't even be sure; If she was ever with me; Or if I was with her.
When they came for Him in the garden, did they know?
People on the platforms; Waiting for the trains; I can hear their hearts a-beatin'; Like pendulums swinging on chains
The sky is erupting, I must go where it's quiet.
Ain't no reason to go anywhere.
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
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,; All the pigeons gonna run to him.
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.
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.
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.
The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed
The vagabond who's rapping at your door; Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
Put your hand on my head, baby, do I have a temperature?
Lost time is not found again
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
I'm goin' down to Tennessee,; Get me a truck 'r somethin'.; Gonna save my money and rip it up!
You say my kisses are not like his,; But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is.
your pleasure knows no limits
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore; You may not see me tomorrow.
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."
Well, the chances are against it and the odds are slim,; That he'll live by the rules that the world makes for him
Well, you're on your own, you always were,; In a land of wolves and thieves.
Thought I'd shaken the wonder and the phantoms of my youth
Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed; Dignity never been photographed
I seen the kingdoms of the world and it's makin' me feel afraid.
The sun's not yellow it's chicken
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.
Since every pleasure's got an edge of pain; Pay for your ticket and don't complain
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
May you have a strong foundation; When the winds of changes shift
In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection
I don't need any reminder; To know how much I really care
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
I'm walking through streets that are dead
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
