I've paid the price of solitude, but at last I'm out of debt.
Are you still my friend, baby, show me a sign
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,; Should I leave them by your gate,; Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
I believe in the impossible, you know that I do
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
If you're a doctor, I need a shot of love.
On the rising curve,; Where the ways of nature will test every nerve,; You won't get anything you don't deserve,; Where we were born in time.
Just what do you think you have to guard?
Put your hand on my head, baby, do I have a temperature?
Did I miss the mark or; Over-step the line; That only you could see?
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin,; Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in.
The night is pitch black, come an' make my; Pale face fit into place, ah, please!
Time is all I have to give
The sky is erupting, I must go where it's quiet.
Pain sure brings out the best in people, doesn't it?
I need a dump truck mama to unload my head
You were trying to break into another world; A world I never knew.; I always kind of wondered; If you ever made it through.
You say my kisses are not like his,; But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is.
Three fellas crawlin' on their way back to work,; Nobody stops to ask why.
I see people who are supposed to know better standin' around like furniture.
Temptation's not an easy thing
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
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,; And the dust of rumors covers me.
You can make me cry; Never say goodbye
She's got everything she needs,; She's an artist, she don't look back
Yes, I know now, traps are only set by me; And I do not really need to be; Assured that love is just a four-letter word
They say you're usin' voodoo, I seen your feet walk by themselves
When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things that remain?
Son, this ain't a dream no more, it's the real thing.
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
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.
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
If the bible is right, the world will explode
Look into infinity, all you see is trouble.
Let me ask you one question; Is your money that good
Through the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales
I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.
The way is long but the end is near, Already the fiesta has begun
Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed
I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch.
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
We pointed out the way to go; And scratched your name in sand,; Though you just thought it was nothing more; Than a place for you to stand.
I got a poison headache,; But I feel all right
I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings, And I've never been too impressed.
Do I need your permission to turn the other cheek?; If you can read my mind, why must I speak?
The vagabond who's rapping at your door; Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
Guess it's too late to say the things to you; That you needed to hear me say.
Shall I hold you close?; Or Shall I let you go by?; Tell me.; Tell me.
Talk about perfection, I ain't never seen none
Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood.; He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good.
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.
I need a steam shovel mama to keep away the dead
This time tomorrow I'll know you better; When my memory is not so short.
Those are the hills of hell-fire my love; Where you and I will unite
He got an all girl orchestra and when he says; "Strike up the band," they hit it
How can I explain?; Oh, it's so hard to get on
Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,; Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
We sat in an empty theater and we kissed,; I asked ya please to cross me off-a your list.
Now, when I was just a bawlin' child,; I saw what I wanted to be
