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
I wouldn't be ashamed to be seen with you anywhere.
We sat in an empty theater and we kissed,; I asked ya please to cross me off-a your list.
Don’t think twice, it’s all right
Can't you make any sound?
The pump don't work; 'Cause the vandals took the handles
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 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.
Well, if I had to do it all over again,; Babe, I'd do it all over you.
We never thought we could ever get old.; We thought we could sit forever in fun
He bought me with a price,; Freed me from the pit,; Full of emptiness and wrath; And the fire that burns in it.
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
But even the president of the United States, Sometimes must have, To stand naked.
take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind
Your temperature's too hot for taming
With haunted hearts through the heat and cold
We never thought we could ever get old
I was just too stubborn to ever be governed by enforced insanity
I don't need any reminder; To know how much I really care
it is not he or she or them or it; That you belong to.
In order to deal in this game, got to make the queen disappear,; It's done with a flick of the wrist.
Oh, ev'ry thought that's strung a knot in my mind,; I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung.
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
Just do your thing, you'll be king; If dogs run free.
I'm already there in my mind; And that's good enough for now
I just want you to know; I can see through your masks
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.
Nations are angry, cursed are some,; People are expecting a false peace to come.
While my conscience explodes; The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer; It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.
But is your heart made out of stone, or is it lime; Or is it just solid rock?
People disagreeing on all just about everything, yeah,; Makes you stop and all wonder why.
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
I hate myself for lovin' you and the weakness that it showed; You were just a painted face on a trip down Suicide Road
She says, "What'll it be?"; I say, "I don't know, you got any soft boiled eggs?"
This is the key to the kingdom and this is the town; This is the blind horse that leads you around
I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still
That long black cloud is comin' down
But the magician is quicker and his game; Is much thicker than blood and blacker than ink
Ain't no reason to go anywhere.
No knife could ever cut our love apart
Because something is happening here; But you don't know what it is; Do you, Mister Jones?
Well, they're not showing any lights tonight; And there's no moon.
My feet are so tired, my brain is so wired
I finally realize there's no room for regret
Satan whispers to ya, "Well, I don't want to bore ya,; But when ya get tired of the Miss So-and-so I got another woman for ya."
For all eternity I think I will remember; That icy wind that's howling in your eye.
If the bible is right, the world will explode
The treasure can't be found by men who search
Now I wish I could write you a melody so plain; That could hold you dear lady from going insane
Somethin' there is about you that I can't quite put my finger on.
It was gravity which pulled us down and destiny which broke us apart
If you're lookin' to get silly; You better go back to from where you came
'Cause he doesn't tell you jokes or fairy tales, say he's got no style.
Tell ev'rybody; Down in ol' 'Frisco; That Tiny Montgomery's comin'; Down to say Hello
This time tomorrow I'll know you better; When my memory is not so short.
Never could learn to drink that blood; And call it wine
Well, I spied a girl and before she could leave,; "Let's go and play Adam and Eve."; I took her by the hand and my heart it was thumpin'; When she said, "Hey man, you crazy or sumpin',; You see what happened last time they started."
Have I surrendered to the will of God; Or am I still acting like the boss?
When he died I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious
