You could ride like Annie Oakley,; You could shoot like Belle Starr.
I've already ripped out the phones, honey.; You can't walk the streets in a war
Thought I'd shaken the wonder and the phantoms of my youth
We never thought we could ever get old.; We thought we could sit forever in fun
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?
They say you're usin' voodoo, I seen your feet walk by themselves
I can tell you fancy, I can tell you plain; You give something up for everything you gain
She says, "What'll it be?"; I say, "I don't know, you got any soft boiled eggs?"
I'm sick of love but I'm in the thick of it
Has the record been breaking,; Did the needle just skip
Your magnetic movements; Still capture the minutes I'm in.
Tell ev'rybody; Down in ol' 'Frisco; That Tiny Montgomery's comin'; Down to say Hello
If dogs run free, why not me; Across the swamp of time?
But even the president of the United States, Sometimes must have, To stand naked.
It's too bright a light, he said, "For anybody's eyes,; If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."
The truth was obscure, too profound and too pure, to live it you have to explode.
I'm goin' down to Tennessee,; Get me a truck 'r somethin'.; Gonna save my money and rip it up!
We're both just one too many mornings; An' a thousand miles behind.
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',; But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
In the day of confession; We cannot mock a soul.; Oh, when there's too much of nothing,; No one has control.
Now the rainman gave me two cures,; Then he said, "Jump right in."; The one was Texas medicine,; The other was just railroad gin.
Gonna sleep down in the parlor; And relive my dreams
Just do your thing, you'll be king; If dogs run free.
Don’t think twice, it’s all right
How does it feel
One of these days and it won't be long; Going down in the valley and sing my song; I will sing it loud and sing it strong; Let the echo decide if I was right or wrong
Senor, senor, let's disconnect these cables,; Overturn these tables.; This place don't make sense to me no more.
Our conversation was short and sweet; It nearly swept me off-a my feet.
What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood
But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency,; All non-believers and men stealers talkin' in the name of religion
Well it's way past midnight and there are people all around; Some on their way up, some on their way down
When the last rays of daylight go down; Buddy, you'll roll no more; I can hear the church bells ringing in the yard; I wonder who they're ringing for
She's a hypnotist collector
Have you got some unfinished business?; Is there something holding you back?; Are you thinking for yourself; Or are you following the pack?
He looks so truthful, is this how he feels; Trying to peel the moon and expose it
Boys in the street beginning to play; Girls like birds flying away
Oh ev'ry foe that ever I faced
The cause was there before we came.
If there's a poor boy on the street,; Then let him have my seat; 'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
Oh, man has invented his doom, First step was touching the moon.
I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still
Now at midnight all the agents; And the superhuman crew; Come out and round up everyone; That knows more than they do
What was it you wanted; When you were kissing my check?
Your temperature's too hot for taming
I've paid the price of solitude, but at last I'm out of debt.
Try to be pure at heart, they arrest you for robbery,; Mistake your shyness for aloofness, your shyness for snobbery
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.
Three fellas crawlin' on their way back to work,; Nobody stops to ask why.
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?
It was then that I got up to leave; But she said, "Don't forget,; Everybody must give something back; For something they get."
Talk about perfection, I ain't never seen none
Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that it passes through
We grew up together; From the cradle to the grave; We died and were reborn; And then mysteriously saved.
Soon as a man is born, you know the sparks begin to fly, He gets wise in his own eyes and he's made to believe a lie.
Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line,; Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine.
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
Rock me, pretty baby, rock me 'til everything gets real; Rock me for a little while, rock me 'til there's nothing left to feel; And I'll rock you too
This is the key to the kingdom and this is the town; This is the blind horse that leads you around
