Never could learn to drink that blood;
And call it wine
Today on the countryside it was a-hotter than a crotch
Don’t think twice, it’s all right
Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift
Do you ever wonder just what God requires?;
You think He's just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires.
Son, this ain't a dream no more, it's the real thing.
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder
Without freedom of speech, I might be in the swamp.
I've been walking through the middle of nowhere;
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
No time to suffer or blink;
And no time to think
Well, there's voices in the night trying to be heard;
I'm sitting here listening to every mind polluting word
I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too";
He said, "You're not Him"
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
She was born in spring, but I was born too late
Will I ever learn that there'll be no peace, that the war won't cease;
Until He returns?
I don't wanna be hers, I wanna be yours.
Do you know where we're headin'?;
Lincoln County Road or Armageddon?
the cops don't need you;
and man they expect the same
I stood unwound beneath the skies;
And clouds unbound by laws.
While my conscience explodes;
The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
At dawn my lover comes to me;
And tells me of her dreams;
With no attempts to shovel the glimpse;
Into the ditch of what each one means
Betrayed by a kiss on a cool night of bliss;
In the valley of the missing link
May you have a strong foundation;
When the winds of changes shift
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells;
I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
goodbye's too good a word, gal;
so I'll just say fare thee well
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
You should be made;
To wear earphones
Now, don't crowd me, lady;
Or I'll fill up your shoe
Was that the thunder that I heard?;
My head is vibrating, I feel a sharp pain
That's how it is when things disintegrate
You got a lotta nerve;
To say you are my friend
She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the Jack of Hearts
If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise, remind me to show you the, scars.
Now the moon is almost hidden;
The stars are beginning to hide;
The fortunetelling lady;
Has even taken all her things inside
Done so many evil things in the name of love, it's a crying shame;
I never did see no fire that could put out a flame.
Yes, I see you on your window ledge;
But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge
If you're lookin' to get silly;
You better go back to from where you came
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 must admit I felt a little uneasy;
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
And, when I was through;
I filled up my shoe;
And brought it to you.
What was it you wanted;
When you were kissing my check?
I'm going back to New York City;
I do believe I've had enough
Now you stand here expectin' me to remember somethin' you forgot to say
Most of the time;
I can't even be sure;
If she was ever with me;
Or if I was with her.
Give ya delusions of grandeur;
And a evil eye;
Give you idea that;
You're too good to die
In order to deal in this game, got to make the queen disappear,;
It's done with a flick of the wrist.
Heart of mine be still,;
You can play with fire, But you'll get the bill
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
Oh it's rush hour now;
On the wheel and the plow;
And the sun is going down;
Upon the sacred cow.
Well, I asked for something to eat;
I'm hungry as a hog;
So I get brown rice, seaweed;
And a dirty hot dog
People carry roses
Make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her
Have you got some unfinished business?;
Is there something holding you back?;
Are you thinking for yourself;
Or are you following the pack?
Let me ask you one question;
Is your money that good
There's always some new stranger sneakin' glances,;
Some trigger-happy fool willin' to take chances
