He got an all girl orchestra and when he says;
"Strike up the band," they hit it

I've been walking through the middle of nowhere;
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door

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.

I got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles,;
I think maybe we'd better leave each other alone.

I don't know why I love her but I just can't stop

You speak to me;
In sign language;
As I'm eating a sandwich

Tough Mama;
Can I blow a little smoke on you?

I wouldn't be ashamed to be seen with you anywhere.

You say you love me;
And you're thinkin' of me,;
But you know you could be wrong.

The sky is erupting, I must go where it's quiet.

Don't you cry and don't you die and don't you burn

Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties;
Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise

Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time

And the words that are used;
For to get the ship confused;
Will not be understood as they're spoken.

Have you got some unfinished business?;
Is there something holding you back?;
Are you thinking for yourself;
Or are you following the pack?

I can tell you fancy, I can tell you plain;
You give something up for everything you gain

If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry,;
What good am I?

I thought somehow that I would be spared this fate

They don't want me around;
'Cause I believe in you.

I stood unwound beneath the skies;
And clouds unbound by laws.

If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.

I wasn't born to lose you.

Let the wind blow low, let the wind blow high.;
One day the little boy and the little girl were both baked in a pie.

Done so many evil things in the name of love, it's a crying shame;
I never did see no fire that could put out a flame.

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

She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe;
"I thought you'd never say hello," she said;
"You look like the silent type."

We're going all the way 'til the wheels fall off and burn

Saw you drift into infinity and come back again

It's the ways of the flesh to war against the spirit;
Twenty-four hours a day you can feel it and you can hear it;
Using all the devices under the sun.

I am hanging in the balance, of the reality of man;
like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand

And every time you get this close;
It makes me want to scream

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

I'll give you more gold;
Than your apron can hold;
If you'll only let your hair hang low

The truth was obscure, too profound and too pure, to live it you have to explode.

The sky is trembling, And I must leave.

Well, I try my best;
To be just like I am,;
But everybody wants you;
To be just like them.

Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted

May you always know the truth;
And see the lights surrounding you.

I just want you to know;
I can see through your masks

Don't trust me to show you the truth;
When the truth may only be ashes and dust.

There's no one here, the gardener is gone

I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail,;
Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail,;
Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn.

Can't you make any sound?

I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it

And you never ask questions;
When God's on your side.

Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss.

Then she says, "I know you're an artist, draw a picture of me!";
I say, "I would if I could, but, ;
I don't do sketches from memory."

I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells;
I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through

Whatever you gonna do,;
Please do it fast.

Love is so simple, to quote a phrase,;
You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days.

Oh, baby, that god you been prayin' to;
Is gonna give ya back what you're wishin' on someone else

Last night I danced with a stranger;
But she just reminded me you were the one

She's got everything she needs,;
She's an artist, she don't look back

I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours

I fought with my twin, that enemy within, 'til both of us fell by the way.

You were trying to break into another world;
A world I never knew.;
I always kind of wondered;
If you ever made it through.

I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal

Do you ever wonder just what God requires?;
You think He's just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires.

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.
