They say you're usin' voodoo, I seen your feet walk by themselves
Your loyalty is not to me; But to the stars above
The sky is erupting, I must go where it's quiet.
And you never ask questions; When God's on your side.
If I had wings and I could fly,; I know where I would go.
Well, the chances are against it and the odds are slim,; That he'll live by the rules that the world makes for him
Guess it's too late to say the things to you; That you needed to hear me say.
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed,; Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features.
I don't need no alibi when I'm spending time with you.; I've heard all of them rumors and you have heard 'em too.
All the people we used to know; Are an illusion to me now
he not busy being born, Is busy dying
Well, if I had to do it all over again,; Babe, I'd do it all over you.
It was then that I got up to leave; But she said, "Don't forget,; Everybody must give something back; For something they get."
I'm hungry and I'm irritable; And I'm tired of this bag of tricks.; At one time there was nothing wrong with me; That you could not fix.
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
When you cease to exist, then who will you blame?; I've tried my best to love you, but I cannot play this game; Your best friend and my worst enemy is one and the same
Time is all I have to give
People are crazy and times are strange
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
Oh my name it is nothin'; My age it means less
Don't trust me to show you love; When my love may be only lust.
Well, I got a harmonica job, begun to play,; Blowin' my lungs out for a dollar a day.
It's for myself and my friends my stories are sung.
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
Well, you're so bad and nasty; But I love you, yes I do
Gonna take dancing lessons do the jitterbug rag; Ain't no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag; Only a fool in here would think he's got anything to prove
If God's on our side; He'll stop the next war.
Wealth is a filthy rag; So erotic so unpatriotic; So wrapped up in the American flag
I'll see you later when I'm not so out of my head,; Maybe next time I'll let the dead bury the dead.
What looks large from a distance,; Close up ain't never that big.
I'm sick of love but I'm in the thick of it
Your mind is your temple, keep it beautiful and free,; Don't let an egg get laid in it by something you can't see.
I don't want to fake you out
I couldn't see what you could show me; Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
Give me a string bean, I'm a hungry man.
I'll give you more gold; Than your apron can hold; If you'll only let your hair hang low
She was born in spring, but I was born too late
Let's try to get beneath the surface waste, girl,; No more booby traps and bombs,; No more decadence and charm,; No more affection that's misplaced, girl
Oh, ev'ry thought that's strung a knot in my mind,; I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung.
I got new eyes ; Everything looks far away
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
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?
It's too bright a light, he said, "For anybody's eyes,; If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."
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.
She said, "Be easy, baby,; There ain't nothin' worth stealin' in here."
Maybe they'll get me and maybe they won't; But not tonight and it won't be here; There are things I could say but I don't; I know the mercy of God must be near
When I met you, baby,; You didn't show no visible scars.
You're the other half of what I am, you're the missing piece
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,; Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,; With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,; Let me forget about today until tomorrow.
On the rising curve,; Where the ways of nature will test every nerve,; You won't get anything you don't deserve,; Where we were born in time.
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
That long black cloud is comin' down
Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial
Nations are angry, cursed are some,; People are expecting a false peace to come.
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
There was music in the cafes at night; And revolution in the air.
