it is not he or she or them or it;
That you belong to.
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
Someone else is speakin' with my mouth, but I'm listening only to my heart.
Don’t think twice, it’s all right
Your cracked country lips,;
I still wish to kiss,;
As to be under the strength of your skin.
I was all right 'til I fell in love with you
goodbye's too good a word, gal;
so I'll just say fare thee well
The party's over, and there's less and less to say
as long as the world keeps a-turnin', I just keep a-turnin' too.
Betrayed by a kiss on a cool night of bliss;
In the valley of the missing link
Most of the time;
I can't even be sure;
If she was ever with me;
Or if I was with her.
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
All the laughter is just making me sad
Look into infinity, all you see is trouble.
If you're a doctor, I need a shot of love.
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
Heart of mine be still,;
You can play with fire, But you'll get the bill
She's a hypnotist collector
I'm walking through streets that are dead
Senor, senor, let's disconnect these cables,;
Overturn these tables.;
This place don't make sense to me no more.
But the magician is quicker and his game;
Is much thicker than blood and blacker than ink
Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed;
Dignity never been photographed
Tough Mama;
Can I blow a little smoke on you?
Well, I don't have to be no doctor, babe,;
To see that you're madly in love.
Time is all I have to give
In the day of confession;
We cannot mock a soul.;
Oh, when there's too much of nothing,;
No one has control.
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
But does anyone hear the music they play
Does anyone even try?
There's some people that;
You don't forget,;
Even though you've only seen'm;
One time or two.
How long can I stay in this nowhere café
I don't need any reminder;
To know how much I really care
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
Gon' walk on down that dirt road 'til I'm right beside the sun
I can tell you fancy, I can tell you plain;
You give something up for everything you gain
Don't you know there's nothing new that's under the sun?;
Well, there ain't no man righteous, no not one.
We pointed out the way to go;
And scratched your name in sand,;
Though you just thought it was nothing more;
Than a place for you to stand.
You have explained every mystery.;
What can I do for You?
Let me ask you one question;
Is your money that good
I couldn't see where we were goin';
But you said you knew an' I took your word
I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies;
I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
The door has closed forevermore
If indeed there ever was a door
She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe;
"I thought you'd never say hello," she said;
"You look like the silent type."
All my friends have told me;
If I hang around with you;
That I'll go blind
Darkness at the break of noon
People ask about you;
I didn't tell them everything I knew
She once was a true love of mine
In the home of the brave, Jefferson turnin' over in his grave
Am I no longer a part of your plans or your dreams?
We sat in an empty theater and we kissed,;
I asked ya please to cross me off-a your list.
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke
Three fellas crawlin' on their way back to work,;
Nobody stops to ask why.
You could make me cry if you don't know.
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 truth was obscure, too profound and too pure, to live it you have to explode.
Turn your back, wash your hands,;
There's always someone who understands
The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed
Well I don't dare close my eyes and I don't dare wink;
Maybe in the next life I'll be able to hear myself think
Tell her she can look me up if she's got the time.
