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
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
Gonna sleep down in the parlor; And relive my dreams
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind; You could have done better but I don't mind; You just kinda wasted my precious time
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss.
Nations are angry, cursed are some,; People are expecting a false peace to come.
All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me,; See like me or be like me.
You got a lotta nerve; To say you are my friend
Have I surrendered to the will of God; Or am I still acting like the boss?
Oh it's rush hour now; On the wheel and the plow; And the sun is going down; Upon the sacred cow.
Look into infinity, all you see is trouble.
And every time you get this close; It makes me want to scream
Betrayed by a kiss on a cool night of bliss; In the valley of the missing link
Leaving men wholly, totally free; To do anything they wish to do but die
You could make me cry if you don't know.
All I really want to do,; Is, baby, be friends with you.
Has the record been breaking,; Did the needle just skip
What makes the wind wanna blow tonight?
Now at midnight all the agents; And the superhuman crew; Come out and round up everyone; That knows more than they do
Have you got some unfinished business?; Is there something holding you back?; Are you thinking for yourself; Or are you following the pack?
Tough Mama; Can I blow a little smoke on you?
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke,; How long must I suffer, Lord, how long must I be provoked?; Satan will give you a little taste, then he'll move in with rapid speed,; Lord keep my blind side covered and see that I don't bleed.
Every brain is civilized,; Every nerve is analyzed,; Everything is criticized when you are in need.
I got nothing left to burn
You can make me cry; Never say goodbye
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
Everybody must get stoned.
Build a fire, throw on logs; And listen to it hiss; And let it burn, burn, burn, burn; On a night like this.
your pleasure knows no limits
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
The pump don't work; 'Cause the vandals took the handles
She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the Jack of Hearts
May you always know the truth; And see the lights surrounding you.
They used to grow food in Kansas; Now they want to grow it on the moon and eat it raw.; I can see the day coming when even your home garden; Is gonna be against the law.
The door has closed forevermore
If indeed there ever was a door
Well my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
Where black is the color, where none is the number
Now you stand here expectin' me to remember somethin' you forgot to say
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed,; Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features.
I don't need no alibi when I'm spending time with you.; I've heard all of them rumors and you have heard 'em too.
I don't mind a reasonable amount of trouble
Lot of water under the bridge, Lot of other stuff too; Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through
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.
You'd better do somethin' quick; She's your lover now.
The sky is erupting, I must go where it's quiet.
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
I don't want to fake you out
Well, I spied a girl and before she could leave,; "Let's go and play Adam and Eve."; I took her by the hand and my heart it was thumpin'; When she said, "Hey man, you crazy or sumpin',; You see what happened last time they started."
And I, I don't mind the pain; Don't mind the driving rain; I know I will sustain; 'Cause I believe in you.
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.
Always on the outside of whatever side there was,; When they asked him why it had to be that way, "Well," he answered, "just because."
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast;
Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last.
Pardon, monsieur," the desk clerk says,; Carefully removes his fez,; "Am I hearin' you right?"
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting; That's hanging in the Louvre
How did I meet you? I don't know.
I hate myself for lovin' you and the weakness that it showed; You were just a painted face on a trip down Suicide Road
