Pain sure brings out the best in people, doesn't it?
You will search, babe, At any cost.; But how long, babe, Can you search for what's not lost?
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
God is in heaven; And we all want what's his; But power and greed and corruptible seed; Seem to be all that there is
he not busy being born, Is busy dying
With haunted hearts through the heat and cold
We never thought we could ever get old
Time passes slowly when you're lost in a dream.
It's the ways of the flesh to war against the spirit; Twenty-four hours a day you can feel it and you can hear it; Using all the devices under the sun.
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss.
There's always some new stranger sneakin' glances,; Some trigger-happy fool willin' to take chances
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
You were trying to break into another world; A world I never knew.; I always kind of wondered; If you ever made it through.
Your cracked country lips,; I still wish to kiss,; As to be under the strength of your skin.
Don't trust me to show you the truth; When the truth may only be ashes and dust.
There's some people that; You don't forget,; Even though you've only seen'm; One time or two.
What kind of sign they need when it all come from within
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
Well, he can be fascinating, he can be dull,; He can ride down Niagara Falls in the barrels of your skull.
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.
Junk is piling up, taking up space
I was just too stubborn to ever be governed by enforced insanity
Precious angel, you believe me when I say; What God has given to us no man can take away.
Silver and gold; Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
They got him on conspiracy, they were never sure who with.
Well the desert is hot, the mountain is cursed,; Pray that I don't die of thirst,; Baby, two feet from the well.
And I, I don't mind the pain; Don't mind the driving rain; I know I will sustain; 'Cause I believe in you.
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
And you, you took me in,; You loved me then; You didn't waste time.
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.
She's a hypnotist collector
I looked at my watch; I looked at my wrist; I punched myself in the face with my fist
Mama, take this badge off of me
Lookin' at my shadow watching the colors up above
Some things in life, it gets too late to learn
Won't you come with me, baby?; I'll take you where you wanna go.; And if it don't work out, You'll be the first to know
Well my house is on fire, burning to the sky
Oh, man has invented his doom, First step was touching the moon.
the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
You have explained every mystery.; What can I do for You?
What good am I if I know and don't do,; I If I see and don't say, if I look right through you
Oh my name it is nothin'; My age it means less
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
I see people in the park forgetting their troubles and woes; They're drinking and dancing, wearing bright colored clothes; All the young men with their young women looking so good; Well, I'd trade places with any of them ; In a minute, if I could
Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted
Well it's way past midnight and there are people all around; Some on their way up, some on their way down
Gon' walk on down that dirt road 'til I'm right beside the sun
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech
I don't wanna be hers, I wanna be yours.
Now at midnight all the agents; And the superhuman crew; Come out and round up everyone; That knows more than they do
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind; You could have done better but I don't mind; You just kinda wasted my precious time
It's too bright a light, he said, "For anybody's eyes,; If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."
Ain't no reason to go anywhere.
Goodnight, my love, may the lord have mercy on us all.
In the fury of the moment I can see the Master's hand; In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand.
