Put your ear to the train tracks, put your ear to the ground,; You ever feel like you're never alone even when there's nobody else around?; Since the beginning of the universe man's been cursed by trouble.
If you're a doctor, I need a shot of love.
It's mighty funny; the end of time has just begun
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me,; See like me or be like me.
The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face
The night passed away so quickly; It always does when you're with me.
I can't help it if I'm lucky.
I know all about poison, I know all about fiery darts,; I don't care how rough the road is, show me where it starts,; Whatever pleases You, tell it to my heart.
Whatever you gonna do,; Please do it fast.
Build a fire, throw on logs; And listen to it hiss; And let it burn, burn, burn, burn; On a night like this.
You'd better do somethin' quick; She's your lover now.
Don't you cry and don't you die and don't you burn
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
I wasn't born to lose you.
It was gravity which pulled us down and destiny which broke us apart
Ain't complaining 'bout what I got; Seen better times, but who has not?
Ever since you walked right in, the circle's been complete
It's many a guard; That stands around smilin',; Holdin' his club; Like he was a king.
But even the president of the United States, Sometimes must have, To stand naked.
When we meet again; Introduced as friends; Please don't let on that you knew me when; I was hungry and it was your world.
Well, I don't have to be no doctor, babe,; To see that you're madly in love.
She once was a true love of mine
When I met you, baby,; You didn't show no visible scars.
Well, I try my best; To be just like I am,; But everybody wants you; To be just like them.
They got him on conspiracy, they were never sure who with.
Get the loot, don't be slow, we're gonna catch a trout
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?
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
I'm already there in my mind; And that's good enough for now
Well, I spied a girl and before she could leave,; "Let's go and play Adam and Eve."; I took her by the hand and my heart it was thumpin'; When she said, "Hey man, you crazy or sumpin',; You see what happened last time they started."
He looks so truthful, is this how he feels; Trying to peel the moon and expose it
Always on the outside of whatever side there was,; When they asked him why it had to be that way, "Well," he answered, "just because."
Our conversation was short and sweet; It nearly swept me off-a my feet.
May you build a ladder to the stars; And climb on every rung.
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
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.
I was in a whirlwind, now I'm in some better place.
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.
The party's over, and there's less and less to say
Through the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats; Too noble to neglect; Deceived me into thinking; I had something to protect
If I ever lose her I will go insane; I go half crazy when she calls my name
you remind me of something that used to be; somethin' that crossed over from another century
I'm going out of my mind; With a pain that stops and starts
There are those who worship loneliness, I'm not one of them
I look into the eyes of my merciful friend
And then I ask myself, is this the end?
Memories linger, sad yet sweet
And I think of the souls in heaven who will meet
Temptation's not an easy thing
She was born in spring, but I was born too late
People disagreeing on all just about everything, yeah,; Makes you stop and all wonder why.
Someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody
The drinks are ready and the dogs are going to war
Just what do you think you have to guard?
Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory
Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial
They say you're usin' voodoo, I seen your feet walk by themselves
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.
Will I ever learn that there'll be no peace, that the war won't cease; Until He returns?
