I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies; I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
Because something is happening here; But you don't know what it is; Do you, Mister Jones?
don't criticize; what you can't understand.
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,; That we could sit simply in that room again.
I must admit I felt a little uneasy; When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go; To the valley below
If God's on our side; He'll stop the next war.
Well my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.; Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
I was just too stubborn to ever be governed by enforced insanity
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.
They say you're usin' voodoo, I seen your feet walk by themselves
What drives me to you is what drives me insane.
I couldn't see where we were goin'; But you said you knew an' I took your word
The night passed away so quickly; It always does when you're with me.
People disagreeing everywhere you look,; Makes you wanna stop and read a book.
And, when I was through; I filled up my shoe; And brought it to you.
Have I surrendered to the will of God; Or am I still acting like the boss?
The vagabond who's rapping at your door; Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry,; What good am I?
But I will be back, I will survive,; You'll never get rid of me as long as you're alive.
Put your ear to the train tracks, put your ear to the ground,; You ever feel like you're never alone even when there's nobody else around?; Since the beginning of the universe man's been cursed by trouble.
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats; Too noble to neglect; Deceived me into thinking; I had something to protect
People carry roses
Make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her
Some things last longer than you think they will; There are some kind of things you can never kill
I can't help it if I'm lucky.
But is your heart made out of stone, or is it lime; Or is it just solid rock?
Put my tears in a bottle
Screw the top on tight
The drinks are ready and the dogs are going to war
There's always some new stranger sneakin' glances,; Some trigger-happy fool willin' to take chances
Well, they're not showing any lights tonight; And there's no moon.
We heard the Sermon on the Mount and I knew it was too complex,; It didn't amount to anything more than what the broken glass reflects.
Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that it passes through
Insanity is smashing up against my soul; You can say I was on anything but a roll; If I had a conscience, well I just might blow my top; What would I do with it anyway ; Maybe take it to the pawn shop
This is the key to the kingdom and this is the town; This is the blind horse that leads you around
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.
In the day of confession; We cannot mock a soul.; Oh, when there's too much of nothing,; No one has control.
Yes, I see you on your window ledge; But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge
You speak to me; In sign language; As I'm eating a sandwich
I'll remember you; At the end of the trail,; I had so much left to do,; I had so little time to fail.
Just like you I'm wondrin' what I'm doin' here.; Just like you I'm wondrin' what's goin' on.
Well, the road is rocky and the hillside's mud; Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood
Well, you're on your own, you always were,; In a land of wolves and thieves.
Oh, but if I had the stars from the darkest night,; And the diamonds from the deepest ocean,; I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss,; For that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'.
Now, a very great man once said; That some people rob you with a fountain pen.; It didn't take too long to find out; Just what he was talkin' about.
If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise, remind me to show you the, scars.
Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed
When He rose from the dead, did they believe?
You think you can hide but you're never alone,; Ask Lot what he thought when his wife turned to stone.
Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy
I'm in the streets; With the tombstone blues
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.
Leaving men wholly, totally free; To do anything they wish to do but die
I seen the kingdoms of the world and it's makin' me feel afraid.
If you get close to her, kiss her once for me
We sat in an empty theater and we kissed,; I asked ya please to cross me off-a your list.
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
