Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously; But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted
The vagabond who's rapping at your door; Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
Darkness at the break of noon
If there's a poor boy on the street,; Then let him have my seat; 'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
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 can make me cry; Never say goodbye
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."
I've already ripped out the phones, honey.; You can't walk the streets in a war
People on the platforms; Waiting for the trains; I can hear their hearts a-beatin'; Like pendulums swinging on chains
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go; To the valley below
No time to suffer or blink; And no time to think
If you're a doctor, I need a shot of love.
It's many a guard; That stands around smilin',; Holdin' his club; Like he was a king.
And I, I don't mind the pain; Don't mind the driving rain; I know I will sustain; 'Cause I believe in you.
And then you told me later, as I apologized; That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
Well, you're on your own, you always were,; In a land of wolves and thieves.
It's so impossible to even learn the tune.
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
Dark Beauty; Meet me at the border late tonight
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
My heart's in the Highlands at the break of dawn; By the beautiful lake of the Black Swan; Big white clouds, like chariots that swing down low; Well my heart's in the Highlands; Only place left to go
A million faces at my feet; But all I see are dark eyes
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
What kind of sign they need when it all come from within
The way is long but the end is near, Already the fiesta has begun
For the loser now; Will be later to win
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
Since every pleasure's got an edge of pain; Pay for your ticket and don't complain
I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still
I just can't fit; Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech
Go 'way from my window,; Leave at your own chosen speed.
Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
For I know that you know that I know that you know; Something is tearing up your mind.
They like to take all this money from sin, build big universities to study in; Sing Amazing Grace all the way to the Swiss banks
Let me ask you one question; Is your money that good
All I really want to do,; Is, baby, be friends with you.
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
How did I meet you? I don't know.
Don't follow leaders; Watch the parkin' meters
You're the other half of what I am, you're the missing piece
And now the heart is filled with gold; As if it was a purse.; But, oh, what kind of love is this; Which goes from bad to worse?
You'd better do somethin' quick; She's your lover now.
Am I no longer a part of your plans or your dreams?
Oh what dear daughter 'neath the sun; Would treat a father so,; To wait upon him hand and foot; And always tell him, "No"?
Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial
I fought with my twin, that enemy within, 'til both of us fell by the way.
Just what do you think you have to guard?
Was that the thunder that I heard?; My head is vibrating, I feel a sharp pain
If I ever lose her I will go insane; I go half crazy when she calls my name
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take; To find dignity
The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder
Does she know I still care?
I'm glad to see you're still alive, you're lookin' like a saint.
If you're looking for assistance, babe,; Or if you just want some company; Or if you just want a friend you can talk to,; Honey, come and see about me.
Boys in the street beginning to play; Girls like birds flying away
May you have a strong foundation; When the winds of changes shift
