It's too bright a light, he said, "For anybody's eyes,; If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."
Roses are red, violets are blue; And time is beginning to crawl
I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
Every day of the year's like playin' Russian roulette
I finally realize there's no room for regret
Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory
I can tell you fancy, I can tell you plain; You give something up for everything you gain
time is running backwards
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
Oh what dear daughter 'neath the sun; Would treat a father so,; To wait upon him hand and foot; And always tell him, "No"?
Just do your thing, you'll be king; If dogs run free.
I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies; I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise, remind me to show you the, scars.
They used to grow food in Kansas; Now they want to grow it on the moon and eat it raw.; I can see the day coming when even your home garden; Is gonna be against the law.
A saxophone someplace far off played
Now at midnight all the agents; And the superhuman crew; Come out and round up everyone; That knows more than they do
Has the record been breaking,; Did the needle just skip
Silver and gold; Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
Don't trust me to show you love; When my love may be only lust.
Well, they're not showing any lights tonight; And there's no moon.
If he needs a third eye he just grows it
Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand,; And rivers that ran through ev'ry day.
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
What happened to the real you, you've been captured but by whom?
But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency,; All non-believers and men stealers talkin' in the name of religion
As his youth now unfolds; He is centuries old; Just to see him at play makes me smile; No matter what happens to me; No matter what my destiny; Lord, protect my child
But even the president of the United States, Sometimes must have, To stand naked.
Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood.; He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good.
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,; All the pigeons gonna run to him.
Lay down your weary tune, lay down,; Lay down the song you strum,; And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings; No voice can hope to hum.
If I ever lose her I will go insane; I go half crazy when she calls my name
So long, New York.; Howdy, East Orange.
I could say that I'd be faithful, I could say it in one sweet, easy breath; But to you that would be cruelty and to me it surely would be death.
He said, Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?; I said, I got no money. He said, That ain't necessary.
All my friends have told me; If I hang around with you; That I'll go blind
She's a hypnotist collector
Shall I hold you close?; Or Shall I let you go by?; Tell me.; Tell me.
Time passes slowly when you're lost in a dream.
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
We're both just one too many mornings; An' a thousand miles behind.
Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that it passes through
'Cause he doesn't tell you jokes or fairy tales, say he's got no style.
You could ride like Annie Oakley,; You could shoot like Belle Starr.
Those are the hill of heaven, my love; You and I'll never know
Pardon, monsieur," the desk clerk says,; Carefully removes his fez,; "Am I hearin' you right?"
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
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
I know all about poison, I know all about fiery darts,; I don't care how rough the road is, show me where it starts,; Whatever pleases You, tell it to my heart.
Whatever you gonna do,; Please do it fast.
I don't want to fake you out
Yes, I know now, traps are only set by me; And I do not really need to be; Assured that love is just a four-letter word
I've already ripped out the phones, honey.; You can't walk the streets in a war
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
The treasure can't be found by men who search
Well, I wake in the morning, Fold my hands and pray for rain.; I got a head full of ideas, That are drivin' me insane.
