All the people we used to know; Are an illusion to me now
The sky is trembling, And I must leave.
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,; And the dust of rumors covers me.
Don't you cry and don't you die and don't you burn
Try to be pure at heart, they arrest you for robbery,; Mistake your shyness for aloofness, your shyness for snobbery
Did I miss the mark or; Over-step the line; That only you could see?
Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love.
I'll see you later when I'm not so out of my head,; Maybe next time I'll let the dead bury the dead.
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
You're the one I've been looking for,; You're the one that's got the key.; But I can't figure out whether I'm too good for you; Or you're too good for me.
Through the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales
I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings, And I've never been too impressed.
Gonna take dancing lessons do the jitterbug rag; Ain't no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag; Only a fool in here would think he's got anything to prove
Do you know where we're headin'?; Lincoln County Road or Armageddon?
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
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?
I hear that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.
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
If I had wings and I could fly,; I know where I would go.
Oh it's rush hour now; On the wheel and the plow; And the sun is going down; Upon the sacred cow.
I don't know why I love her but I just can't stop
Go 'way from my window,; Leave at your own chosen speed.
Darkness at the break of noon
Nations are angry, cursed are some,; People are expecting a false peace to come.
I'm sick of love but I'm in the thick of it
May you build a ladder to the stars; And climb on every rung.
I'm goin' down to Tennessee,; Get me a truck 'r somethin'.; Gonna save my money and rip it up!
Your loyalty is not to me; But to the stars above
If God's on our side; He'll stop the next war.
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.
Something there is about you that brings back a long forgotten truth
If the bible is right, the world will explode
Won't you dance with me?; I'm fallin' in love with you.
You breathed on me and made my life a richer one to live,; When I was deep in poverty you taught me how to give
A saxophone someplace far off played
Some things last longer than you think they will; There are some kind of things you can never kill
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.
But even the president of the United States, Sometimes must have, To stand naked.
Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties; Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down
Betrayed by a kiss on a cool night of bliss; In the valley of the missing link
What kind of sign they need when it all come from within
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
she's true, like ice, like fire
He said, Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?; I said, I got no money. He said, That ain't necessary.
I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.
Do I need your permission to turn the other cheek?; If you can read my mind, why must I speak?
Leaving men wholly, totally free; To do anything they wish to do but die
Took a stranger to teach me, to look into justice's beautiful face; And to see an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
Down the highway, down the tracks, down the road to ecstasy,; I followed you beneath the stars, hounded by your memory,; And all your ragin' glory.
You could make me cry if you don't know.
The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed
Pain sure brings out the best in people, doesn't it?
And, when I was through; I filled up my shoe; And brought it to you.
They said it was the land of milk and honey,; now they say it's the land of money.; Who ever thought they could ever make that stick.
You can pound on the President's gate; But you oughta know by now it's gonna be too late.
The night passed away so quickly; It always does when you're with me.
You have explained every mystery.; What can I do for You?
