And you never ask questions; When God's on your side.
Don't have to look no further, you're the soul of many things.
I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies; I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
Don't trust me to show you beauty; When beauty may only turn to rust.
Did I miss the mark or; Over-step the line; That only you could see?
Well, I asked for something to eat; I'm hungry as a hog; So I get brown rice, seaweed; And a dirty hot dog
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
Gonna sleep down in the parlor; And relive my dreams
If I had wings and I could fly,; I know where I would go.
Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy
Darkness at the break of noon
It's the ways of the flesh to war against the spirit; Twenty-four hours a day you can feel it and you can hear it; Using all the devices under the sun.
Dark Beauty; Meet me at the border late tonight
People ask about you; I didn't tell them everything I knew
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
So long, New York.; Howdy, East Orange.
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.
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.; Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
Do I need your permission to turn the other cheek?; If you can read my mind, why must I speak?
If I ever lose her I will go insane; I go half crazy when she calls my name
Turn your back, wash your hands,; There's always someone who understands
to live outside the law, you must be honest
Gonna take dancing lessons do the jitterbug rag; Ain't no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag; Only a fool in here would think he's got anything to prove
Everybody's wearing a disguise; To hide what they've got left behind their eyes
Do you ever wonder just what God requires?; You think He's just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires.
Don't trust me to show you love; When my love may be only lust.
You're the one I adore, come over here and give me more
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
I can't provide for you no easy answers,; Who are you that I should have to lie?
And I can't let go, won't let go, and I can't let go no more.
I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take; To find dignity
The treasure can't be found by men who search
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,; That we could sit simply in that room again.
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss.
Now, don't crowd me, lady; Or I'll fill up your shoe
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
When I met you, baby,; You didn't show no visible scars.
I thought somehow that I would be spared this fate
Your magnetic movements; Still capture the minutes I'm in.
Ain't complaining 'bout what I got; Seen better times, but who has not?
Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer; It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.
I was in a whirlwind, now I'm in some better place.
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast;
Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last.
Shall I hold you close?; Or Shall I let you go by?; Tell me.; Tell me.
Well I don't dare close my eyes and I don't dare wink; Maybe in the next life I'll be able to hear myself think
I see people who are supposed to know better standin' around like furniture.
the cops don't need you; and man they expect the same
Saw you drift into infinity and come back again
That long black cloud is comin' down
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',; But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
Because something is happening here; But you don't know what it is; Do you, Mister Jones?
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours
He got an all girl orchestra and when he says; "Strike up the band," they hit it
All he believes are his eyes, And his eyes, they just tell him lies
When he died I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious
Where black is the color, where none is the number
