They like to take all this money from sin, build big universities to study in; Sing Amazing Grace all the way to the Swiss banks
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
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?
We always did feel the same,; We just saw it from a different point of view
What happened to the real you, you've been captured but by whom?
Don't trust me to show you the truth; When the truth may only be ashes and dust.
Time passes slowly when you're lost in a dream.
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
The country music station plays soft; but there's nothing, really nothing, to turn off
Someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody
Trees that've stood for a thousand years suddenly will fall.
Everything passes,; Everything changes,; Just do what you think you should do.
They got him on conspiracy, they were never sure who with.
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.
I don't need any reminder; To know how much I really care
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
This is the key to the kingdom and this is the town; This is the blind horse that leads you around
I got new eyes ; Everything looks far away
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
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,; And the dust of rumors covers me.
All the tired horses in the sun; How'm I supposed to get any ridin' done? Hmm.
the cops don't need you; and man they expect the same
I fought with my twin, that enemy within, 'til both of us fell by the way.
She says, "What'll it be?"; I say, "I don't know, you got any soft boiled eggs?"
Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties; Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
Without freedom of speech, I might be in the swamp.
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
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting; That's hanging in the Louvre
If this is love then gimme more; And more and more and more and more.
the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
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
She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the Jack of Hearts
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,; Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
There's only one step down from here, baby,; It's called the land of permanent bliss.
All the people we used to know; Are an illusion to me now
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
Put your body next to mine; And keep me company,; There is plenty a room for all,; So please don't elbow me.
Lookin' at my shadow watching the colors up above
it is not he or she or them or it; That you belong to.
And every time you get this close; It makes me want to scream
She knows there's no success like failure; And that failure's no success at all.
Everybody's wearing a disguise; To hide what they've got left behind their eyes
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
I feel nothing for their game where beauty goes unrecognized
In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
You can't get to glory by the raising and the lowering of no flag.; Put your goodness next to God's and it comes out like a filthy rag.
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
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.
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
They said it was the land of milk and honey,; now they say it's the land of money.; Who ever thought they could ever make that stick.
to live outside the law, you must be honest
If you want to live easy
Baby pack your clothes with mine
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
I got nothing left to burn
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.
I couldn't see what you could show me; Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
