That long black cloud is comin' down

I'm T-boned and punctured;
But I'm known to be calm

Can you tell me what we're waiting for, senor?

All I feel is heat and flame and all I see are dark eyes.

When he died I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious

Roses are red, violets are blue;
And time is beginning to crawl

But is your heart made out of stone, or is it lime;
Or is it just solid rock?

You know, the streets are filled with vipers;
Who've lost all ray of hope,;
You know, it ain't even safe no more;
In the palace of the Pope.

You were trying to break into another world;
A world I never knew.;
I always kind of wondered;
If you ever made it through.

Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love.

Well, You've done it all and there's no more anyone can pretend to do.;
What can I do for You?

Well, they're not showing any lights tonight;
And there's no moon.

Pardon, monsieur," the desk clerk says,;
Carefully removes his fez,;
"Am I hearin' you right?"

Tough Mama;
Can I blow a little smoke on you?

You don't want a love that's pure;
You wanna drown love;
You want a watered-down love

You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.

Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted

I see nothing to be gained by any explanation;
There are no words that need to be said

Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy

What was it you wanted;
When you were kissing my check?

Won't you dance with me?;
I'm fallin' in love with you.

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.

I need a dump truck mama to unload my head

Every time you leave and go off someplace,;
Things fall to pieces in my face

You say my kisses are not like his,;
But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is.

What happened to the real you, you've been captured but by whom?

You will search, babe, At any cost.;
But how long, babe, Can you search for what's not lost?

The pump don't work;
'Cause the vandals took the handles

This wheel shall explode!

Now at midnight all the agents;
And the superhuman crew;
Come out and round up everyone;
That knows more than they do

Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain

Yesterday everything was going too fast;
Today, it's moving too slow

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

But I will be back, I will survive,;
You'll never get rid of me as long as you're alive.

How long can I stay in this nowhere café

Don't follow leaders;
Watch the parkin' meters

But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts

I was in a whirlwind, now I'm in some better place.

I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch.

I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.

It was gravity which pulled us down and destiny which broke us apart

Any day now, any day now,;
I shall be released.

For all eternity I think I will remember;
That icy wind that's howling in your eye.

If you want to live easy Baby pack your clothes with mine

Can't you hear that motor turnin'?;
Automobile comin' into style

When I met you, baby,;
You didn't show no visible scars.

You think you can hide but you're never alone,;
Ask Lot what he thought when his wife turned to stone.

I seen the kingdoms of the world and it's makin' me feel afraid.

What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this?

I'll give you more gold;
Than your apron can hold;
If you'll only let your hair hang low

I fought with my twin, that enemy within, 'til both of us fell by the way.

I'm going back to New York City;
I do believe I've had enough

Sooner or later, one of us must know;
That I really did try to get close to you

Somethin' there is about you that I can't quite put my finger on.

One of these days and it won't be long;
Going down in the valley and sing my song;
I will sing it loud and sing it strong;
Let the echo decide if I was right or wrong

If I ever lose her I will go insane;
I go half crazy when she calls my name

It was then that I got up to leave;
But she said, "Don't forget,;
Everybody must give something back;
For something they get."

Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed;
Dignity never been photographed

It's too bright a light, he said, "For anybody's eyes,;
If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."
