Pain sure brings out the best in people, doesn't it?
Well, there's voices in the night trying to be heard; I'm sitting here listening to every mind polluting word
I'm going back to New York City; I do believe I've had enough
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.
I thought somehow that I would be spared this fate
Temptation's not an easy thing
People on the platforms; Waiting for the trains; I can hear their hearts a-beatin'; Like pendulums swinging on chains
I finally realize there's no room for regret
For I know that you know that I know that you know; Something is tearing up your mind.
I hear that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.
Let's try to get beneath the surface waste, girl,; No more booby traps and bombs,; No more decadence and charm,; No more affection that's misplaced, girl
Give ya delusions of grandeur; And a evil eye; Give you idea that; You're too good to die
you remind me of something that used to be; somethin' that crossed over from another century
Oh it's rush hour now; On the wheel and the plow; And the sun is going down; Upon the sacred cow.
if every bone in his body was broken he would never admit it
Well, you're on your own, you always were,; In a land of wolves and thieves.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Won't you dance with me?; I'm fallin' in love with you.
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation; There are no words that need to be said
He bought me with a price,; Freed me from the pit,; Full of emptiness and wrath; And the fire that burns in it.
Well, the chances are against it and the odds are slim,; That he'll live by the rules that the world makes for him
Searching for my double, looking for; Complete evaporation to the core
It's too bright a light, he said, "For anybody's eyes,; If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."
People disagreeing on all just about everything, yeah,; Makes you stop and all wonder why.
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
How can I explain?; Oh, it's so hard to get on
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go; To the valley below
And every time you get this close; It makes me want to scream
Look into infinity, all you see is trouble.
Someone else is speakin' with my mouth, but I'm listening only to my heart.
She got a weird sense of humor that's all her own
People carry roses
Make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her
Your loyalty is not to me; But to the stars above
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
The vagabond who's rapping at your door; Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
Betrayed by a kiss on a cool night of bliss; In the valley of the missing link
I've been walking through the middle of nowhere; Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
Yesterday everything was going too fast; Today, it's moving too slow
Lookin' at my shadow watching the colors up above
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
Everybody's doin' something,; I heard it in a dream,; But when there's too much of nothing,; It just makes a fella mean.
Gon' walk on down until I'm right beside the sun; I'm gonna have to put up a barrier to keep myself away from everyone.
She knows where I'd like to be; But it doesn't matter.
When He rose from the dead, did they believe?
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."
I don't know why I love her but I just can't stop
If you get close to her, kiss her once for me
Someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody
Trees that've stood for a thousand years suddenly will fall.
You say you love me; And you're thinkin' of me,; But you know you could be wrong.
Try to be pure at heart, they arrest you for robbery,; Mistake your shyness for aloofness, your shyness for snobbery
You lose yourself, you reappear
The way is long but the end is near, Already the fiesta has begun
Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted
Whatever you wanted; Slipped out of my mind
I hate myself for lovin' you and the weakness that it showed; You were just a painted face on a trip down Suicide Road
