And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
You say you love me; And you're thinkin' of me,; But you know you could be wrong.
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.
Build a fire, throw on logs; And listen to it hiss; And let it burn, burn, burn, burn; On a night like this.
Last night I danced with a stranger; But she just reminded me you were the one
They got him on conspiracy, they were never sure who with.
How does it feel
Oh, ev'ry thought that's strung a knot in my mind,; I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung.
You should be made; To wear earphones
You were snow, you were rain; You were striped, you were plain,;
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder
Took a stranger to teach me, to look into justice's beautiful face; And to see an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed
You say my kisses are not like his,; But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is.
He bought me with a price,; Freed me from the pit,; Full of emptiness and wrath; And the fire that burns in it.
I was in your presence for an hour or so; Or was it a day? I truly don't know.
Everybody must get stoned.
Well, he can be fascinating, he can be dull,; He can ride down Niagara Falls in the barrels of your skull.
Whatever you gonna do,; Please do it fast.
But the magician is quicker and his game; Is much thicker than blood and blacker than ink
My so-called friends have fallen under a spell.; They look me squarely in the eye and they say, "All is well."; Can they imagine the darkness that will fall from on high; When men will beg God to kill them and they won't be able to die?
Am I no longer a part of your plans or your dreams?
Thought I'd shaken the wonder and the phantoms of my youth
Reality has always had too many heads
If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry,; What good am I?
Run your fingers down my spine; Bring me a touch of bliss
God is in heaven; And we all want what's his; But power and greed and corruptible seed; Seem to be all that there is
I'm in the streets; With the tombstone blues
I've been walking through the middle of nowhere; Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
You can pound on the President's gate; But you oughta know by now it's gonna be too late.
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
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast;
Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last.
I can change, I swear, oh, oh,; See what you can do.; I can make it through,; You can make it too.
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore; You may not see me tomorrow.
Tell her she can look me up if she's got the time.
Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love.
But does anyone hear the music they play
Does anyone even try?
Everybody's doin' something,; I heard it in a dream,; But when there's too much of nothing,; It just makes a fella mean.
Won't you dance with me?; I'm fallin' in love with you.
You could ride like Annie Oakley,; You could shoot like Belle Starr.
The man in me will hide sometimes to keep from bein' seen,; But that's just because he doesn't want to turn into some machine.
What good am I if I say foolish things; And I laugh in the face of what sorrow brings; And I just turn my back while you silently die,; What good am I?
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
Don’t think twice, it’s all right
Handy dandy, he got a basket of flowers and a bag full or sorrow
Every day of the year's like playin' Russian roulette
At dawn my lover comes to me; And tells me of her dreams; With no attempts to shovel the glimpse; Into the ditch of what each one means
The world of illusion is at my door
You speak to me; In sign language; As I'm eating a sandwich
The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed
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.
Your cracked country lips,; I still wish to kiss,; As to be under the strength of your skin.
I can smile in the face of mankind.; Don't even remember what her lips felt like on mine; Most of the time.
Well the desert is hot, the mountain is cursed,; Pray that I don't die of thirst,; Baby, two feet from the well.
Someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody
