But I mean no harm nor put fault, On anyone that lives in a vault, But it's alright, Ma, if I can't please him.
I like the cool way you look at me,; Everything about you is bringing me; Misery.
The man in me will hide sometimes to keep from bein' seen,; But that's just because he doesn't want to turn into some machine.
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
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.
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.
For I know that you know that I know that you know; Something is tearing up your mind.
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take; To find dignity
And if my thought-dreams could be seen, They'd probably put my head in a guillotine
I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail,; Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail,; Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn.
If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry,; What good am I?
I need a dump truck mama to unload my head
I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea; Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me.
God is in heaven; And we all want what's his; But power and greed and corruptible seed; Seem to be all that there is
Goodnight, my love, may the lord have mercy on us all.
I'll see you later when I'm not so out of my head,; Maybe next time I'll let the dead bury the dead.
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
We're going all the way 'til the wheels fall off and burn
A saxophone someplace far off played
The country music station plays soft; but there's nothing, really nothing, to turn off
If you get close to her, kiss her once for me
He looks so truthful, is this how he feels; Trying to peel the moon and expose it
If I had wings and I could fly,; I know where I would go.
Oh it's rush hour now; On the wheel and the plow; And the sun is going down; Upon the sacred cow.
When destruction cometh swiftly; And there's no time to say a fare-thee-well,; Have you decided whether you want to be; In heaven or in hell?
And then you told me later, as I apologized; That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',; But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
I wasn't born to lose you.
Through the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales
Time is all I have to give
Ever since you walked right in, the circle's been complete
Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
Searching for my double, looking for; Complete evaporation to the core
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."
Go melt back into the night, babe,; Everything inside is made of stone.; There's nothing in here moving, An' anyway I'm not alone.
No time to suffer or blink; And no time to think
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
People ask about you; I didn't tell them everything I knew
I've been hit too hard, I've seen too much; Nothing can heal me now, but your touch
I'm in a cowboy band
I was all right 'til I fell in love with you
Your magnetic movements; Still capture the minutes I'm in.
And the words that are used; For to get the ship confused; Will not be understood as they're spoken.
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.
I'm goin' down to Tennessee,; Get me a truck 'r somethin'.; Gonna save my money and rip it up!
Well it's way past midnight and there are people all around; Some on their way up, some on their way down
Tell ev'rybody; Down in ol' 'Frisco; That Tiny Montgomery's comin'; Down to say Hello
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
Have I surrendered to the will of God; Or am I still acting like the boss?
Your loyalty is not to me; But to the stars above
She knows where I'd like to be; But it doesn't matter.
I got new eyes ; Everything looks far away
Handy dandy, he got a basket of flowers and a bag full or sorrow
Love is so simple, to quote a phrase,; You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days.
You can make me cry; Never say goodbye
I can change, I swear, oh, oh,; See what you can do.; I can make it through,; You can make it too.
All he believes are his eyes, And his eyes, they just tell him lies
Put your body next to mine; And keep me company,; There is plenty a room for all,; So please don't elbow me.
Yes, I see you on your window ledge; But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge
