Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand,; And rivers that ran through ev'ry day.
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
Praise be to Nero's Neptune; The Titanic sails at dawn; And everybody's shouting; Which Side Are You On?
Ain't complaining 'bout what I got; Seen better times, but who has not?
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
Oh what dear daughter 'neath the sun; Would treat a father so,; To wait upon him hand and foot; And always tell him, "No"?
Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted
The party's over, and there's less and less to say
Wiggle 'til you're high, wiggle 'til you're higher,; Wiggle 'til you vomit fire
to live outside the law, you must be honest
If you're a doctor, I need a shot of love.
You have explained every mystery.; What can I do for You?
She says, "What'll it be?"; I say, "I don't know, you got any soft boiled eggs?"
I could say that I'd be faithful, I could say it in one sweet, easy breath; But to you that would be cruelty and to me it surely would be death.
I couldn't see what you could show me; Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
Give me a string bean, I'm a hungry man.
Last night I danced with a stranger; But she just reminded me you were the one
take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind
You're the other half of what I am, you're the missing piece
In the hills of mystery,; In the foggy web of destiny,; You can have what's left of me,; Where we were born in time.
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
Pain sure brings out the best in people, doesn't it?
Get the loot, don't be slow, we're gonna catch a trout
I'm already there in my mind; And that's good enough for now
She's a hypnotist collector
Tell her she can look me up if she's got the time.
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously; But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
But I mean no harm nor put fault, On anyone that lives in a vault, But it's alright, Ma, if I can't please him.
Lost time is not found again
When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things that remain?
The truth was obscure, too profound and too pure, to live it you have to explode.
I fought with my twin, that enemy within, 'til both of us fell by the way.
The sky is trembling, And I must leave.
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
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."
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take; To find dignity
People disagreeing everywhere you look,; Makes you wanna stop and read a book.
There's only one step down from here, baby,; It's called the land of permanent bliss.
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this?
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
When you cease to exist, then who will you blame?; I've tried my best to love you, but I cannot play this game; Your best friend and my worst enemy is one and the same
They got him on conspiracy, they were never sure who with.
Well, I asked for something to eat; I'm hungry as a hog; So I get brown rice, seaweed; And a dirty hot dog
You know, news of you has come down the line; Even before ya came in the door.; They say in your father's house, there's many mansions; Each one of them got a fireproof floor.
My feet are so tired, my brain is so wired
There was music in the cafes at night; And revolution in the air.
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
You say my kisses are not like his,; But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is.
Don't trust me to show you beauty; When beauty may only turn to rust.
I don't need any reminder; To know how much I really care
The sun's not yellow it's chicken
Gon' walk on down that dirt road 'til I'm right beside the sun
Do you ever wonder just what God requires?; You think He's just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires.
Are you still my friend, baby, show me a sign
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
Lot of water under the bridge, Lot of other stuff too; Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through
You should be made; To wear earphones
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
