As his youth now unfolds; He is centuries old; Just to see him at play makes me smile; No matter what happens to me; No matter what my destiny; Lord, protect my child
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take; To find dignity
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."
I see, I see lovers in the meadow; I see, I see silhouettes in the window; I watch them 'til they're gone and they leave me hanging on ; To a shadow
Just like you I'm wondrin' what I'm doin' here.; Just like you I'm wondrin' what's goin' on.
You say you love me; And you're thinkin' of me,; But you know you could be wrong.
Now, when I was just a bawlin' child,; I saw what I wanted to be
We sat in an empty theater and we kissed,; I asked ya please to cross me off-a your list.
If you get close to her, kiss her once for me
she's true, like ice, like fire
Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
That long black cloud is comin' down
Some things are too hot to touch; The human mind can only stand so much
Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift
I am hanging in the balance, of the reality of man; like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand
How long can I stay in this nowhere café
Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood.; He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good.
Three fellas crawlin' on their way back to work,; Nobody stops to ask why.
We heard the Sermon on the Mount and I knew it was too complex,; It didn't amount to anything more than what the broken glass reflects.
Lot of water under the bridge, Lot of other stuff too; Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through
Whatever you wanted; Slipped out of my mind
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch.
There's some people that; You don't forget,; Even though you've only seen'm; One time or two.
Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,; And the dust of rumors covers me.
I stood unwound beneath the skies; And clouds unbound by laws.
Don’t think twice, it’s all right
Searching for my double, looking for; Complete evaporation to the core
Lookin' at my shadow watching the colors up above
Run your fingers down my spine; Bring me a touch of bliss
I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
You think you can hide but you're never alone,; Ask Lot what he thought when his wife turned to stone.
And now the heart is filled with gold; As if it was a purse.; But, oh, what kind of love is this; Which goes from bad to worse?
Hot chili peppers in the blistering sun
I've paid the price of solitude, but at last I'm out of debt.
The man in me will hide sometimes to keep from bein' seen,; But that's just because he doesn't want to turn into some machine.
I was in your presence for an hour or so; Or was it a day? I truly don't know.
Lay down your weary tune, lay down,; Lay down the song you strum,; And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings; No voice can hope to hum.
I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still
Without freedom of speech, I might be in the swamp.
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
It's for myself and my friends my stories are sung.
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
Don't follow leaders; Watch the parkin' meters
Nations are angry, cursed are some,; People are expecting a false peace to come.
This is the key to the kingdom and this is the town; This is the blind horse that leads you around
The pump don't work; 'Cause the vandals took the handles
Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love.
In the day of confession; We cannot mock a soul.; Oh, when there's too much of nothing,; No one has control.
We're idiots, babe.; It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves.
The night passed away so quickly; It always does when you're with me.
I don't want to fake you out
All he believes are his eyes, And his eyes, they just tell him lies
Through the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales
Are you still my friend, baby, show me a sign
The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed
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
