Now at midnight all the agents; And the superhuman crew; Come out and round up everyone; That knows more than they do
If this is love then gimme more; And more and more and more and more.
She still lives inside of me, we've never been apart.
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
Wallflower, wallflower; Take a chance on me.; Please let me ride you home.
All he believes are his eyes, And his eyes, they just tell him lies
The door has closed forevermore
If indeed there ever was a door
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed,; Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features.
We're going all the way 'til the wheels fall off and burn
I don't want to fake you out
Hot chili peppers in the blistering sun
Are you looking at me and thinking of somebody else?
All the people we used to know; Are an illusion to me now
What good am I if I say foolish things; And I laugh in the face of what sorrow brings; And I just turn my back while you silently die,; What good am I?
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
But is your heart made out of stone, or is it lime; Or is it just solid rock?
Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain
Searching for my double, looking for; Complete evaporation to the core
I wouldn't be ashamed to be seen with you anywhere.
Yes, I see you on your window ledge; But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge
I can't help it if I'm lucky.
Can't you hear that motor turnin'?; Automobile comin' into style
It was gravity which pulled us down and destiny which broke us apart
Oh it's rush hour now; On the wheel and the plow; And the sun is going down; Upon the sacred cow.
Well, you're on your own, you always were,; In a land of wolves and thieves.
It was then that I got up to leave; But she said, "Don't forget,; Everybody must give something back; For something they get."
Go melt back into the night, babe,; Everything inside is made of stone.; There's nothing in here moving, An' anyway I'm not alone.
I'm in the streets; With the tombstone blues
The truth was obscure, too profound and too pure, to live it you have to explode.
Have you got some unfinished business?; Is there something holding you back?; Are you thinking for yourself; Or are you following the pack?
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."
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."
The vagabond who's rapping at your door; Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
People disagreeing everywhere you look,; Makes you wanna stop and read a book.
'Twas then that I knew what he had on his mind.
I'll give you more gold; Than your apron can hold; If you'll only let your hair hang low
Never could learn to drink that blood; And call it wine
I wish that for just one time; You could stand inside my shoes; You'd know what a drag it is; To see you
I got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles,; I think maybe we'd better leave each other alone.
An' here I sit so patiently; Waiting to find out what price; You have to pay to get out of; Going through all these things twice.
'Cause he doesn't tell you jokes or fairy tales, say he's got no style.
As his youth now unfolds; He is centuries old; Just to see him at play makes me smile; No matter what happens to me; No matter what my destiny; Lord, protect my child
Ain't no reason to go anywhere.
Put your body next to mine; And keep me company,; There is plenty a room for all,; So please don't elbow me.
A saxophone someplace far off played
I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
I'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to me
Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy
Then she says, "I know you're an artist, draw a picture of me!"; I say, "I would if I could, but, ; I don't do sketches from memory."
I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech
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?
Senor, senor, let's disconnect these cables,; Overturn these tables.; This place don't make sense to me no more.
Gon' walk on down that dirt road 'til I'm right beside the sun
I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down
I'm in a cowboy band
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.
The sun's not yellow it's chicken
In order to deal in this game, got to make the queen disappear,; It's done with a flick of the wrist.
