She says, "What'll it be?"; I say, "I don't know, you got any soft boiled eggs?"
Put your body next to mine; And keep me company,; There is plenty a room for all,; So please don't elbow me.
Yes, I see you on your window ledge; But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore; You may not see me tomorrow.
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.
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,; Should I leave them by your gate,; Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch.
She got a weird sense of humor that's all her own
the cops don't need you; and man they expect the same
If your mem'ry serves you well,; You'll remember you're the one; That called on me to call on them; To get you your favors done.
I hate myself for lovin' you and the weakness that it showed; You were just a painted face on a trip down Suicide Road
But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency,; All non-believers and men stealers talkin' in the name of religion
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."
If you're lookin' to get silly; You better go back to from where you came
You were trying to break into another world; A world I never knew.; I always kind of wondered; If you ever made it through.
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
Am I no longer a part of your plans or your dreams?
And they're breaking down the distance; Between right and wrong.
The pump don't work; 'Cause the vandals took the handles
I don't know why I love her but I just can't stop
What looks large from a distance,; Close up ain't never that big.
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation; There are no words that need to be said
I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea; Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me.
Most of the time; I can't even be sure; If she was ever with me; Or if I was with her.
Now the moon is almost hidden; The stars are beginning to hide; The fortunetelling lady; Has even taken all her things inside
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
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
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
They don't want me around; 'Cause I believe in you.
In the fury of the moment I can see the Master's hand; In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand.
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
I looked at my watch; I looked at my wrist; I punched myself in the face with my fist
Well, if I had to do it all over again,; Babe, I'd do it all over you.
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.
Whatever you gonna do,; Please do it fast.
Your loyalty is not to me; But to the stars above
Some things last longer than you think they will; There are some kind of things you can never kill
I seen the kingdoms of the world and it's makin' me feel afraid.
Oh the fishes will laugh; As they swim out of the path; And the seagulls they'll be smiling.
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.; Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies; I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
Now, when I was just a bawlin' child,; I saw what I wanted to be
All the people we used to know; Are an illusion to me now
I gotta go; Find out something only dead men know
All the tired horses in the sun; How'm I supposed to get any ridin' done? Hmm.
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
Without freedom of speech, I might be in the swamp.
What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood
Somethin' there is about you that I can't quite put my finger on.
Now I wish I could write you a melody so plain; That could hold you dear lady from going insane
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,; All the pigeons gonna run to him.
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,; Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,; With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,; Let me forget about today until tomorrow.
Any day now, any day now,; I shall be released.
I can't provide for you no easy answers,; Who are you that I should have to lie?
In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection
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.
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?
