What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood
Everybody must get stoned.
Look into infinity, all you see is trouble.
Yes, I see you on your window ledge; But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge
If dogs run free, why not me; Across the swamp of time?
Time is all I have to give
Either I'm too sensitive or else I'm gettin' soft.
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,; That we could sit simply in that room again.
you remind me of something that used to be; somethin' that crossed over from another century
The party's over, and there's less and less to say
Goodnight, my love, may the lord have mercy on us all.
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?
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
Put your body next to mine; And keep me company,; There is plenty a room for all,; So please don't elbow me.
A saxophone someplace far off played
In the home of the brave, Jefferson turnin' over in his grave
Don't know if I saw you, if I would kiss you or kill you; It probably wouldn't matter to you anyhow
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?
he not busy being born, Is busy dying
Well the desert is hot, the mountain is cursed,; Pray that I don't die of thirst,; Baby, two feet from the well.
Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
I've been walking through the middle of nowhere; Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
Democracy don't rule the world,; You'd better get that in your head.; This world is ruled by violence; But I guess that's better left unsaid.
All the tired horses in the sun; How'm I supposed to get any ridin' done? Hmm.
My head tells me it's time to make a change; But my heart is telling me I love ya but you're strange.
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
Everything passes,; Everything changes,; Just do what you think you should do.
Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory
I could say that I'd be faithful, I could say it in one sweet, easy breath; But to you that would be cruelty and to me it surely would be death.
She still lives inside of me, we've never been apart.
And I can't let go, won't let go, and I can't let go no more.
Don't follow leaders; Watch the parkin' meters
But even the president of the United States, Sometimes must have, To stand naked.
She's a hypnotist collector
She says, "What'll it be?"; I say, "I don't know, you got any soft boiled eggs?"
I wasn't born to lose you.
Our conversation was short and sweet; It nearly swept me off-a my feet.
Oh, but if I had the stars from the darkest night,; And the diamonds from the deepest ocean,; I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss,; For that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'.
Do I need your permission to turn the other cheek?; If you can read my mind, why must I speak?
If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise, remind me to show you the, scars.
Son, this ain't a dream no more, it's the real thing.
Shall I hold you close?; Or Shall I let you go by?; Tell me.; Tell me.
You were trying to break into another world; A world I never knew.; I always kind of wondered; If you ever made it through.
I hear that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.
What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this?
She said, "Be easy, baby,; There ain't nothin' worth stealin' in here."
Tell her she can look me up if she's got the time.
Mama, take this badge off of me
They tell me revenge is sweet and from where they stand, I'm sure it is.
I'm in the streets; With the tombstone blues
What was it you wanted; When you were kissing my check?
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.
I couldn't see what you could show me; Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
I've paid the price of solitude, but at last I'm out of debt.
Whatever you gonna do,; Please do it fast.
Has the record been breaking,; Did the needle just skip
I need a steam shovel mama to keep away the dead
Go melt back into the night, babe,; Everything inside is made of stone.; There's nothing in here moving, An' anyway I'm not alone.
And you never ask questions; When God's on your side.
