Your loyalty is not to me;
But to the stars above
A saxophone someplace far off played
Shine your light, shine your light on me;
Ya know I just couldn't make it by myself.;
I'm a little too blind to see
Yes, I know now, traps are only set by me;
And I do not really need to be;
Assured that love is just a four-letter word
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
Did I miss the mark or;
Over-step the line;
That only you could see?
Oh, baby, that god you been prayin' to;
Is gonna give ya back what you're wishin' on someone else
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.
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
For all eternity I think I will remember;
That icy wind that's howling in your eye.
Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,;
Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
I don't need any reminder;
To know how much I really care
Darkness at the break of noon
Well, I don't have to be no doctor, babe,;
To see that you're madly in love.
You were snow, you were rain;
You were striped, you were plain,;
I'll give you more gold;
Than your apron can hold;
If you'll only let your hair hang low
I been hangin’ on threads
I been playin’ it straight
Now, I’ve just got to cut loose
Before it gets late
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed,;
Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features.
Can't you make any sound?
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours
Sooner or later, one of us must know;
That I really did try to get close to you
You should be made;
To wear earphones
if there's an original thought out there, I could use it right now
Does she know I still care?
Everybody must get stoned.
They don't want me around;
'Cause I believe in you.
Ain't complaining 'bout what I got;
Seen better times, but who has not?
And if my thought-dreams could be seen, They'd probably put my head in a guillotine
Well, you're on your own, you always were,;
In a land of wolves and thieves.
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
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
Love is so simple, to quote a phrase,;
You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days.
Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go;
To the valley below
Yes, I see you on your window ledge;
But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge
Look into infinity, all you see is trouble.
Somethin' there is about you that I can't quite put my finger on.
You can pound on the President's gate;
But you oughta know by now it's gonna be too late.
the cops don't need you;
and man they expect the same
Now there's spiritual warfare and flesh and blood breaking down.;
Ya either got faith or ya got unbelief and there ain't no neutral ground.
Mama, take this badge off of me
Whatever you wanted;
Slipped out of my mind
Everything passes,;
Everything changes,;
Just do what you think you should do.
Oh my name it is nothin';
My age it means less
I thought somehow that I would be spared this fate
When destruction cometh swiftly;
And there's no time to say a fare-thee-well,;
Have you decided whether you want to be;
In heaven or in hell?
People carry roses
Make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',;
But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
We're idiots, babe.;
It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves.
For I know that you know that I know that you know;
Something is tearing up your mind.
I must admit I felt a little uneasy;
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
Ring them bells, for the time that flies,;
For the child that cries;
When innocence dies.
How can I explain?;
Oh, it's so hard to get on
I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.
We're both just one too many mornings;
An' a thousand miles behind.
She was born in spring, but I was born too late
Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road
Something there is about you that brings back a long forgotten truth
He said, Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?;
I said, I got no money. He said, That ain't necessary.
