When there is no more,; You cut to the core; Quicker than anyone I knew.
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously; But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
This is the key to the kingdom and this is the town; This is the blind horse that leads you around
Shine your light, shine your light on me; Ya know I just couldn't make it by myself.; I'm a little too blind to see
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take; To find dignity
Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
What was it you wanted; When you were kissing my check?
don't criticize; what you can't understand.
Whatever you gonna do,; Please do it fast.
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',; But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
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
Where black is the color, where none is the number
He looks so truthful, is this how he feels; Trying to peel the moon and expose it
Let me ask you one question; Is your money that good
Time passes slowly when you're lost in a dream.
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin,; Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in.
And if my thought-dreams could be seen, They'd probably put my head in a guillotine
The country music station plays soft; but there's nothing, really nothing, to turn off
Oh, some of us'll end up; In St. Cloud Prison,; And some of us'll wind up, To be lawyers and things
I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies; I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
My heart's in the Highlands at the break of dawn; By the beautiful lake of the Black Swan; Big white clouds, like chariots that swing down low; Well my heart's in the Highlands; Only place left to go
If the bible is right, the world will explode
I've already ripped out the phones, honey.; You can't walk the streets in a war
And they're breaking down the distance; Between right and wrong.
Oh, ev'ry thought that's strung a knot in my mind,; I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung.
Don't you cry and don't you die and don't you burn
Now, don't crowd me, lady; Or I'll fill up your shoe
As the last fire truck from hell; Goes rolling by, all good people are praying
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,; Should I leave them by your gate,; Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
In the day of confession; We cannot mock a soul.; Oh, when there's too much of nothing,; No one has control.
Drinkin' man listens to the voice he hears; In a crowded room full of covered up mirrors; Lookin' into the lost forgotten years; For dignity
God is in heaven; And we all want what's his; But power and greed and corruptible seed; Seem to be all that there is
But even the president of the United States, Sometimes must have, To stand naked.
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
My head tells me it's time to make a change; But my heart is telling me I love ya but you're strange.
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.; Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
There's only one step down from here, baby,; It's called the land of permanent bliss.
Well, I got a harmonica job, begun to play,; Blowin' my lungs out for a dollar a day.
I can smile in the face of mankind.; Don't even remember what her lips felt like on mine; Most of the time.
Won't you descend from the throne, from where you sit?
Praise be to Nero's Neptune; The Titanic sails at dawn; And everybody's shouting; Which Side Are You On?
You cast your spell and I went under,; I find it so difficult to leave.
When I'm all alone; In the great unknown,; I'll remember you.
When he died I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious
At dawn my lover comes to me; And tells me of her dreams; With no attempts to shovel the glimpse; Into the ditch of what each one means
What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this?
He bought me with a price,; Freed me from the pit,; Full of emptiness and wrath; And the fire that burns in it.
He said, Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?; I said, I got no money. He said, That ain't necessary.
Now I wish I could write you a melody so plain; That could hold you dear lady from going insane
They don't want me around; 'Cause I believe in you.
The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed
I see people in the park forgetting their troubles and woes; They're drinking and dancing, wearing bright colored clothes; All the young men with their young women looking so good; Well, I'd trade places with any of them ; In a minute, if I could
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
You can pound on the President's gate; But you oughta know by now it's gonna be too late.
Pain sure brings out the best in people, doesn't it?
