I like the cool way you look at me,; Everything about you is bringing me; Misery.
Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues; You can tell by the way she smiles
A million faces at my feet; But all I see are dark eyes
Your temperature's too hot for taming
The truth was obscure, too profound and too pure, to live it you have to explode.
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.
She once was a true love of mine
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go; To the valley below
Now I wish I could write you a melody so plain; That could hold you dear lady from going insane
Leaving men wholly, totally free; To do anything they wish to do but die
Well, I wake in the morning, Fold my hands and pray for rain.; I got a head full of ideas, That are drivin' me insane.
Trees that've stood for a thousand years suddenly will fall.
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
How did I meet you? I don't know.
Every brain is civilized,; Every nerve is analyzed,; Everything is criticized when you are in need.
And you, you took me in,; You loved me then; You didn't waste time.
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.
Well, I try my best; To be just like I am,; But everybody wants you; To be just like them.
I still can remember the way that you smiled
Now the rainman gave me two cures,; Then he said, "Jump right in."; The one was Texas medicine,; The other was just railroad gin.
You know, news of you has come down the line; Even before ya came in the door.; They say in your father's house, there's many mansions; Each one of them got a fireproof floor.
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore; You may not see me tomorrow.
Mama, take this badge off of me
I just want you to know; I can see through your masks
She knows there's no success like failure; And that failure's no success at all.
And you never ask questions; When God's on your side.
Wallflower, wallflower; Take a chance on me.; Please let me ride you home.
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take; To find dignity
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past; I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
I just can't fit; Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
And every time you get this close; It makes me want to scream
Give ya delusions of grandeur; And a evil eye; Give you idea that; You're too good to die
there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden
They say you're usin' voodoo, I seen your feet walk by themselves
My conscience is beginning to bother me today.
Am I no longer a part of your plans or your dreams?
Put your hand on my head, baby, do I have a temperature?
All I really want to do,; Is, baby, be friends with you.
Put your body next to mine; And keep me company,; There is plenty a room for all,; So please don't elbow me.
Whatever you gonna do,; Please do it fast.
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin,; Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in.
The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,; Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,; With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,; Let me forget about today until tomorrow.
Ring them bells, for the time that flies,; For the child that cries; When innocence dies.
Did I miss the mark or; Over-step the line; That only you could see?
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,; Should I leave them by your gate,; Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
When you know as well as me; You'd rather see me paralyzed
Well, they're not showing any lights tonight; And there's no moon.
There's some people that; You don't forget,; Even though you've only seen'm; One time or two.
I don't want to fake you out
Some things are too hot to touch; The human mind can only stand so much
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
What was it you wanted; When you were kissing my check?
If I had wings and I could fly,; I know where I would go.
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation; There are no words that need to be said
Have I surrendered to the will of God; Or am I still acting like the boss?
Won't you descend from the throne, from where you sit?
Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed
