Now, a very great man once said; That some people rob you with a fountain pen.; It didn't take too long to find out; Just what he was talkin' about.
It's all been designed, he said, "To make you lose your mind,; And when you go back to find it, there's nothing there to find."
May you always know the truth; And see the lights surrounding you.
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 just can't fit; Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
All the people we used to know; Are an illusion to me now
Lookin' at my shadow watching the colors up above
My children will go, As soon as they grow.; Well, there ain't nothing here now to hold them.
Something there is about you that brings back a long forgotten truth
You should be made; To wear earphones
Gonna take dancing lessons do the jitterbug rag; Ain't no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag; Only a fool in here would think he's got anything to prove
This is the key to the kingdom and this is the town; This is the blind horse that leads you around
I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too"; He said, "You're not Him"
Wallflower, wallflower; Take a chance on me.; Please let me ride you home.
Cities on fire, phones out of order
Could you ever be true?
We're both just one too many mornings; An' a thousand miles behind.
Yes, I know now, traps are only set by me; And I do not really need to be; Assured that love is just a four-letter word
Your temperature's too hot for taming
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.
Everybody must get stoned.
I hate myself for lovin' you and the weakness that it showed; You were just a painted face on a trip down Suicide Road
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
I got a poison headache,; But I feel all right
The way is long but the end is near, Already the fiesta has begun
Well, the chances are against it and the odds are slim,; That he'll live by the rules that the world makes for him
I need a dump truck mama to unload my head
Gon' walk on down until I'm right beside the sun; I'm gonna have to put up a barrier to keep myself away from everyone.
All the tired horses in the sun; How'm I supposed to get any ridin' done? Hmm.
They tell me everything is gonna be all right; But I don't know what "all right" even means
If God's on our side; He'll stop the next war.
Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties; Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
Lot of water under the bridge, Lot of other stuff too; Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through
The world of illusion is at my door
Turn your back, wash your hands,; There's always someone who understands
Saw you drift into infinity and come back again
And I can't let go, won't let go, and I can't let go no more.
There's only one step down from here, baby,; It's called the land of permanent bliss.
I got new eyes ; Everything looks far away
Just what do you think you have to guard?
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
Since every pleasure's got an edge of pain; Pay for your ticket and don't complain
If I had wings and I could fly,; I know where I would go.
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.
Well it's way past midnight and there are people all around; Some on their way up, some on their way down
I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies; I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
Tough Mama; Can I blow a little smoke on you?
In order to deal in this game, got to make the queen disappear,; It's done with a flick of the wrist.
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.
But even the president of the United States, Sometimes must have, To stand naked.
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
Well my house is on fire, burning to the sky
My love she speaks like silence
Put your body next to mine; And keep me company,; There is plenty a room for all,; So please don't elbow me.
I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring.
If you want to live easy
Baby pack your clothes with mine
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed,; Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features.
