I can change, I swear, oh, oh,; See what you can do.; I can make it through,; You can make it too.
There was music in the cafes at night; And revolution in the air.
Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift
I can't help it if I'm lucky.
Can't you make any sound?
The party's over, and there's less and less to say
In order to deal in this game, got to make the queen disappear,; It's done with a flick of the wrist.
Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
Nobody feels any pain
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin,; Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in.
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
Drinkin' man listens to the voice he hears; In a crowded room full of covered up mirrors; Lookin' into the lost forgotten years; For dignity
If you're lookin' to get silly; You better go back to from where you came
All the tired horses in the sun; How'm I supposed to get any ridin' done? Hmm.
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.
When he died I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious
Everybody must get stoned.
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
Don't trust me to show you love; When my love may be only lust.
I need a steam shovel mama to keep away the dead
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
Senor, senor, let's disconnect these cables,; Overturn these tables.; This place don't make sense to me no more.
Sooner or later, one of us must know; That I really did try to get close to you
Some things last longer than you think they will; There are some kind of things you can never kill
You lose yourself, you reappear
You say you love me; And you're thinkin' of me,; But you know you could be wrong.
Are you looking at me and thinking of somebody else?
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood.; He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good.
Don't trust me to show you beauty; When beauty may only turn to rust.
When He rose from the dead, did they believe?
There's some people that; You don't forget,; Even though you've only seen'm; One time or two.
What was it you wanted; When you were kissing my check?
We always did feel the same,; We just saw it from a different point of view
When there is no more,; You cut to the core; Quicker than anyone I knew.
Well, it's always been my nature to take chances; My right hand drawing back while my left hand advances
Wealth is a filthy rag; So erotic so unpatriotic; So wrapped up in the American flag
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation; There are no words that need to be said
A saxophone someplace far off played
I must admit I felt a little uneasy; When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
I must be guilty of something,; You just whisper it into my ear.
the cops don't need you; and man they expect the same
I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too"; He said, "You're not Him"
Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed
People ask about you; I didn't tell them everything I knew
if there's an original thought out there, I could use it right now
I don't want to fake you out
I was in a whirlwind, now I'm in some better place.
Thought I'd shaken the wonder and the phantoms of my youth
Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,; Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
Well, I try my best; To be just like I am,; But everybody wants you; To be just like them.
We're going all the way 'til the wheels fall off and burn
Rock me, pretty baby, rock me 'til everything gets real; Rock me for a little while, rock me 'til there's nothing left to feel; And I'll rock you too
Just do your thing, you'll be king; If dogs run free.
Time passes slowly when you're lost in a dream.
people don’t live or die, people just float
How did I meet you? I don't know.
Somethin' there is about you that I can't quite put my finger on.
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.
