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."
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
Don't the moon look good, mama, Shinin' through the trees?
The angels play on their horns all day,; The whole earth in progression seems to pass by.; But does anyone hear the music they play,; Does anyone even try?
My head tells me it's time to make a change; But my heart is telling me I love ya but you're strange.
What looks large from a distance,; Close up ain't never that big.
But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency
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.
And every one of them words rang true; And glowed like burnin' coal; Pourin' off of every page; Like it was written in my soul from me to you
Hot chili peppers in the blistering sun
You could ride like Annie Oakley,; You could shoot like Belle Starr.
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."
Searching for my double, looking for; Complete evaporation to the core
The vagabond who's rapping at your door; Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
Precious angel, you believe me when I say; What God has given to us no man can take away.
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.
I'm walking through streets that are dead
You can make me cry; Never say goodbye
Won't you come with me, baby?; I'll take you where you wanna go.; And if it don't work out, You'll be the first to know
Always on the outside of whatever side there was,; When they asked him why it had to be that way, "Well," he answered, "just because."
Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
Time passes slowly when you're lost in a dream.
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats; Too noble to neglect; Deceived me into thinking; I had something to protect
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
My conscience is beginning to bother me today.
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take; To find dignity
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
Everybody's doin' something,; I heard it in a dream,; But when there's too much of nothing,; It just makes a fella mean.
He bought me with a price,; Freed me from the pit,; Full of emptiness and wrath; And the fire that burns in it.
I got new eyes ; Everything looks far away
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
But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency,; All non-believers and men stealers talkin' in the name of religion
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.
This time tomorrow I'll know you better; When my memory is not so short.
Lost time is not found again
I need a steam shovel mama to keep away the dead
The treasure can't be found by men who search
I wouldn't be ashamed to be seen with you anywhere.
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
The night passed away so quickly; It always does when you're with me.
If this is love then gimme more; And more and more and more and more.
I'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to me
What drives me to you is what drives me insane.
I like the cool way you look at me,; Everything about you is bringing me; Misery.
Well, you're on your own, you always were,; In a land of wolves and thieves.
Leaving men wholly, totally free; To do anything they wish to do but die
if every bone in his body was broken he would never admit it
Run your fingers down my spine; Bring me a touch of bliss
I'm goin' down to Tennessee,; Get me a truck 'r somethin'.; Gonna save my money and rip it up!
I've already ripped out the phones, honey.; You can't walk the streets in a war
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke
She once was a true love of mine
I must be guilty of something,; You just whisper it into my ear.
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
Could you ever be true?
With haunted hearts through the heat and cold
We never thought we could ever get old
When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things that remain?
