Yesterday everything was going too fast; Today, it's moving too slow
I'm glad to see you're still alive, you're lookin' like a saint.
Put your hand on my head, baby, do I have a temperature?
If you're looking for assistance, babe,; Or if you just want some company; Or if you just want a friend you can talk to,; Honey, come and see about me.
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.
They say ev'rything can be replaced
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
You were snow, you were rain; You were striped, you were plain,;
You will search, babe, At any cost.; But how long, babe, Can you search for what's not lost?
Rock me, pretty baby, rock me 'til everything gets real; Rock me for a little while, rock me 'til there's nothing left to feel; And I'll rock you too
Get the loot, don't be slow, we're gonna catch a trout
Most of the time; I can't even be sure; If she was ever with me; Or if I was with her.
Then she says, "I know you're an artist, draw a picture of me!"; I say, "I would if I could, but, ; I don't do sketches from memory."
Oh my name it is nothin'; My age it means less
But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency,; All non-believers and men stealers talkin' in the name of religion
That's how it is when things disintegrate
Wealth is a filthy rag; So erotic so unpatriotic; So wrapped up in the American flag
And every one of them words rang true; And glowed like burnin' coal; Pourin' off of every page; Like it was written in my soul from me to you
All I really want to do,; Is, baby, be friends with you.
They say you're usin' voodoo, I seen your feet walk by themselves
Your temperature's too hot for taming
Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood.; He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good.
Yes, I see you on your window ledge; But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge
I hate myself for lovin' you and the weakness that it showed; You were just a painted face on a trip down Suicide Road
Seen the arrow on the doorpost; Saying, "This land is condemned; All the way from New Orleans; To Jerusalem."
Some things are too hot to touch; The human mind can only stand so much
Don't trust me to show you beauty; When beauty may only turn to rust.
Betrayed by a kiss on a cool night of bliss; In the valley of the missing link
Oh ev'ry foe that ever I faced
The cause was there before we came.
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation; There are no words that need to be said
I need a dump truck mama to unload my head
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
You know, the streets are filled with vipers; Who've lost all ray of hope,; You know, it ain't even safe no more; In the palace of the Pope.
You're so damn nonchalant; But it's your mind that I want.
Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line,; Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine.
If the bible is right, the world will explode
You breathed on me and made my life a richer one to live,; When I was deep in poverty you taught me how to give
Do I need your permission to turn the other cheek?; If you can read my mind, why must I speak?
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
I just can't fit; Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
It was true that in his later years he would not carry a gun; "I'm around too many children," he'd say, "they should never know of one."
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
You'd better do somethin' quick; She's your lover now.
With haunted hearts through the heat and cold
We never thought we could ever get old
time is running backwards
Well, I don't have to be no doctor, babe,; To see that you're madly in love.
I wouldn't be ashamed to be seen with you anywhere.
Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road
people don’t live or die, people just float
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.
I'm going out of my mind; With a pain that stops and starts
And I can't let go, won't let go, and I can't let go no more.
Oh, man has invented his doom, First step was touching the moon.
I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
You're the other half of what I am, you're the missing piece
I'm in the streets; With the tombstone blues
That long black cloud is comin' down
I must be guilty of something,; You just whisper it into my ear.
She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the Jack of Hearts
