Lot of water under the bridge, Lot of other stuff too; Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through
They like to take all this money from sin, build big universities to study in; Sing Amazing Grace all the way to the Swiss banks
Won't you come with me, baby?; I'll take you where you wanna go.; And if it don't work out, You'll be the first to know
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
We heard the Sermon on the Mount and I knew it was too complex,; It didn't amount to anything more than what the broken glass reflects.
Don't follow leaders; Watch the parkin' meters
They tell me everything is gonna be all right; But I don't know what "all right" even means
the cops don't need you; and man they expect the same
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.
I don't mind a reasonable amount of trouble
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.
Hot chili peppers in the blistering sun
In the hills of mystery,; In the foggy web of destiny,; You can have what's left of me,; Where we were born in time.
But I will be back, I will survive,; You'll never get rid of me as long as you're alive.
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,; All the pigeons gonna run to him.
They tell me revenge is sweet and from where they stand, I'm sure it is.
Do you know where we're headin'?; Lincoln County Road or Armageddon?
The pump don't work; 'Cause the vandals took the handles
Never could learn to drink that blood; And call it wine
It's mighty funny; the end of time has just begun
The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder
You should be made; To wear earphones
And you, you took me in,; You loved me then; You didn't waste time.
You don't want a love that's pure; You wanna drown love; You want a watered-down love
I can't help it if I'm lucky.
Your mind is your temple, keep it beautiful and free,; Don't let an egg get laid in it by something you can't see.
Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand,; And rivers that ran through ev'ry day.
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells; I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore; You may not see me tomorrow.
Handy dandy, he got a basket of flowers and a bag full or sorrow
I wish that for just one time; You could stand inside my shoes; You'd know what a drag it is; To see you
Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed; Dignity never been photographed
Oh what dear daughter 'neath the sun; Would treat a father so,; To wait upon him hand and foot; And always tell him, "No"?
And I, I don't mind the pain; Don't mind the driving rain; I know I will sustain; 'Cause I believe in you.
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
Don't you cry and don't you die and don't you burn
May you always know the truth; And see the lights surrounding you.
As his youth now unfolds; He is centuries old; Just to see him at play makes me smile; No matter what happens to me; No matter what my destiny; Lord, protect my child
Could you ever be true?
Well my nerves are exploding and my body's tense; I feel like the whole world got me pinned up against the fence
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."
I was in your presence for an hour or so; Or was it a day? I truly don't know.
It was true that in his later years he would not carry a gun; "I'm around too many children," he'd say, "they should never know of one."
I'm in the streets; With the tombstone blues
Lovin' you is the one thing I'll never regret.
You could make me cry if you don't know.
With haunted hearts through the heat and cold
We never thought we could ever get old
For the loser now; Will be later to win
Praise be to Nero's Neptune; The Titanic sails at dawn; And everybody's shouting; Which Side Are You On?
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
I'm T-boned and punctured; But I'm known to be calm
You were trying to break into another world; A world I never knew.; I always kind of wondered; If you ever made it through.
Darkness at the break of noon
I was just too stubborn to ever be governed by enforced insanity
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,; Should I leave them by your gate,; Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
Don't the moon look good, mama, Shinin' through the trees?
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
