Do I need your permission to turn the other cheek?; If you can read my mind, why must I speak?
In order to deal in this game, got to make the queen disappear,; It's done with a flick of the wrist.
I was all right 'til I fell in love with you
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
No knife could ever cut our love apart
Did I miss the mark or; Over-step the line; That only you could see?
What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood
Does she know I still care?
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast;
Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last.
Well, it's always been my nature to take chances; My right hand drawing back while my left hand advances
The party's over, and there's less and less to say
Don't follow leaders; Watch the parkin' meters
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
Oh, some of us'll end up; In St. Cloud Prison,; And some of us'll wind up, To be lawyers and things
Was that the thunder that I heard?; My head is vibrating, I feel a sharp pain
I was in a whirlwind, now I'm in some better place.
The door has closed forevermore
If indeed there ever was a door
Boys in the street beginning to play; Girls like birds flying away
Oh my name it is nothin'; My age it means less
And you, you took me in,; You loved me then; You didn't waste time.
What happened to the real you, you've been captured but by whom?
And, when I was through; I filled up my shoe; And brought it to you.
If you're lookin' to get silly; You better go back to from where you came
Do you know where we're headin'?; Lincoln County Road or Armageddon?
I wouldn't be ashamed to be seen with you anywhere.
They tell me everything is gonna be all right; But I don't know what "all right" even means
You say you love me; And you're thinkin' of me,; But you know you could be wrong.
Now I wish I could write you a melody so plain; That could hold you dear lady from going insane
They said it was the land of milk and honey,; now they say it's the land of money.; Who ever thought they could ever make that stick.
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
Now, don't crowd me, lady; Or I'll fill up your shoe
I'm walking through streets that are dead
Everything passes,; Everything changes,; Just do what you think you should do.
Let's try to get beneath the surface waste, girl,; No more booby traps and bombs,; No more decadence and charm,; No more affection that's misplaced, girl
I'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to me
Because something is happening here; But you don't know what it is; Do you, Mister Jones?
I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too"; He said, "You're not Him"
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
I don't need no alibi when I'm spending time with you.; I've heard all of them rumors and you have heard 'em too.
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
Well, You've done it all and there's no more anyone can pretend to do.; What can I do for You?
Won't you dance with me?; I'm fallin' in love with you.
Your mind is your temple, keep it beautiful and free,; Don't let an egg get laid in it by something you can't see.
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
In the fury of the moment I can see the Master's hand; In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand.
Democracy don't rule the world,; You'd better get that in your head.; This world is ruled by violence; But I guess that's better left unsaid.
So long, New York.; Howdy, East Orange.
Well, I got a harmonica job, begun to play,; Blowin' my lungs out for a dollar a day.
Can you tell me what we're waiting for, senor?
Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line,; Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine.
Louise, she's all right, she's just near; She's delicate and seems like the mirror; But she just makes it all too concise and too clear; That Johanna's not here
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
Precious angel, you believe me when I say; What God has given to us no man can take away.
Well, I spied a girl and before she could leave,; "Let's go and play Adam and Eve."; I took her by the hand and my heart it was thumpin'; When she said, "Hey man, you crazy or sumpin',; You see what happened last time they started."
Well, the chances are against it and the odds are slim,; That he'll live by the rules that the world makes for him
Now, I can't go back to what was, baby,; I can't unring the bell.
