With haunted hearts through the heat and cold
We never thought we could ever get old
people don’t live or die, people just float
I fought with my twin, that enemy within, 'til both of us fell by the way.
Well, I wake in the morning, Fold my hands and pray for rain.; I got a head full of ideas, That are drivin' me insane.
I must admit I felt a little uneasy; When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
Either I'm too sensitive or else I'm gettin' soft.
At the corrida we'll sit in the shade; And watch the young torero stand alone.; We'll drink tequila where our grandfathers stayed; When they rode with Villa into Torreon.
My heart's in the Highlands at the break of dawn; By the beautiful lake of the Black Swan; Big white clouds, like chariots that swing down low; Well my heart's in the Highlands; Only place left to go
Do you ever wonder just what God requires?; You think He's just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires.
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
He said, Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?; I said, I got no money. He said, That ain't necessary.
Your temperature's too hot for taming
What looks large from a distance,; Close up ain't never that big.
Well, I try my best; To be just like I am,; But everybody wants you; To be just like them.
Don't trust me to show you the truth; When the truth may only be ashes and dust.
You were snow, you were rain; You were striped, you were plain,;
Oh, baby, that god you been prayin' to; Is gonna give ya back what you're wishin' on someone else
It's all been designed, he said, "To make you lose your mind,; And when you go back to find it, there's nothing there to find."
Somethin' there is about you that I can't quite put my finger on.
What good am I if I say foolish things; And I laugh in the face of what sorrow brings; And I just turn my back while you silently die,; What good am I?
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast;
Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last.
Senor, senor, let's disconnect these cables,; Overturn these tables.; This place don't make sense to me no more.
It was then that I got up to leave; But she said, "Don't forget,; Everybody must give something back; For something they get."
They say ev'rything can be replaced
You say you love me; And you're thinkin' of me,; But you know you could be wrong.
I'm already there in my mind; And that's good enough for now
I looked at my watch; I looked at my wrist; I punched myself in the face with my fist
You should be made; To wear earphones
Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties; Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
Am I no longer a part of your plans or your dreams?
I've already ripped out the phones, honey.; You can't walk the streets in a war
Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain
How does it feel
We never thought we could ever get old.; We thought we could sit forever in fun
take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind
Somebody's got to find your trail,; I guess it must be up to me.
Down the highway, down the tracks, down the road to ecstasy,; I followed you beneath the stars, hounded by your memory,; And all your ragin' glory.
She says, "What'll it be?"; I say, "I don't know, you got any soft boiled eggs?"
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.
Can you tell me what we're waiting for, senor?
Louise, she's all right, she's just near; She's delicate and seems like the mirror; But she just makes it all too concise and too clear; That Johanna's not here
Oh ev'ry foe that ever I faced
The cause was there before we came.
Ever since you walked right in, the circle's been complete
He looks so truthful, is this how he feels; Trying to peel the moon and expose it
We grew up together; From the cradle to the grave; We died and were reborn; And then mysteriously saved.
The way is long but the end is near, Already the fiesta has begun
Time is all I have to give
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?
Don't know if I saw you, if I would kiss you or kill you; It probably wouldn't matter to you anyhow
If he needs a third eye he just grows it
And they're breaking down the distance; Between right and wrong.
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.
In the home of the brave
Jefferson turnin’ over in his grave
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously; But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
The walls of pride are high and wide; Can't see over to the other side; It's such a sad thing to see beauty decay; It's sadder still, to feel your heart torn away
They don't want me around; 'Cause I believe in you.
