We never thought we could ever get old.; We thought we could sit forever in fun
The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
You can't get to glory by the raising and the lowering of no flag.; Put your goodness next to God's and it comes out like a filthy rag.
Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love.
Now the rainman gave me two cures,; Then he said, "Jump right in."; The one was Texas medicine,; The other was just railroad gin.
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
Ring them bells, for the time that flies,; For the child that cries; When innocence dies.
You lose yourself, you reappear
And you, you took me in,; You loved me then; You didn't waste time.
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.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
We're going all the way 'til the wheels fall off and burn
So long, New York.; Howdy, East Orange.
Because something is happening here; But you don't know what it is; Do you, Mister Jones?
If you get close to her, kiss her once for me
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
I can change, I swear, oh, oh,; See what you can do.; I can make it through,; You can make it too.
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting; That's hanging in the Louvre
Well, you're on your own, you always were,; In a land of wolves and thieves.
Son, this ain't a dream no more, it's the real thing.
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.
There was music in the cafes at night; And revolution in the air.
Precious angel, you believe me when I say; What God has given to us no man can take away.
All my friends have told me; If I hang around with you; That I'll go blind
I looked at my watch; I looked at my wrist; I punched myself in the face with my fist
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
Yesterday everything was going too fast; Today, it's moving too slow
No time to suffer or blink; And no time to think
Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand,; And rivers that ran through ev'ry day.
May you build a ladder to the stars; And climb on every rung.
you remind me of something that used to be; somethin' that crossed over from another century
All I really want to do,; Is, baby, be friends with you.
We pointed out the way to go; And scratched your name in sand,; Though you just thought it was nothing more; Than a place for you to stand.
Your loyalty is not to me; But to the stars above
An' here I sit so patiently; Waiting to find out what price; You have to pay to get out of; Going through all these things twice.
I see people who are supposed to know better standin' around like furniture.
What was it you wanted; When you were kissing my check?
You can pound on the President's gate; But you oughta know by now it's gonna be too late.
I'm glad to see you're still alive, you're lookin' like a saint.
It's all been designed, he said, "To make you lose your mind,; And when you go back to find it, there's nothing there to find."
Somethin' there is about you that I can't quite put my finger on.
At the corrida we'll sit in the shade; And watch the young torero stand alone.; We'll drink tequila where our grandfathers stayed; When they rode with Villa into Torreon.
She still lives inside of me, we've never been apart.
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
Oh ev'ry foe that ever I faced
The cause was there before we came.
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke,; How long must I suffer, Lord, how long must I be provoked?; Satan will give you a little taste, then he'll move in with rapid speed,; Lord keep my blind side covered and see that I don't bleed.
Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed; Dignity never been photographed
Too many thoughts get in the way in the day
In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection
If he needs a third eye he just grows it
I been hangin’ on threads
I been playin’ it straight
Now, I’ve just got to cut loose
Before it gets late
as long as the world keeps a-turnin', I just keep a-turnin' too.
All the tired horses in the sun; How'm I supposed to get any ridin' done? Hmm.
What looks large from a distance,; Close up ain't never that big.
Praise be to Nero's Neptune; The Titanic sails at dawn; And everybody's shouting; Which Side Are You On?
I still can remember the way that you smiled
You have explained every mystery.; What can I do for You?
