She said, "Be easy, baby,; There ain't nothin' worth stealin' in here."
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take; To find dignity
Someone else is speakin' with my mouth, but I'm listening only to my heart.
I can't provide for you no easy answers,; Who are you that I should have to lie?
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
It was then that I got up to leave; But she said, "Don't forget,; Everybody must give something back; For something they get."
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.
I been hangin’ on threads
I been playin’ it straight
Now, I’ve just got to cut loose
Before it gets late
I look into the eyes of my merciful friend
And then I ask myself, is this the end?
Memories linger, sad yet sweet
And I think of the souls in heaven who will meet
The night is pitch black, come an' make my; Pale face fit into place, ah, please!
I just can't fit; Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch.
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
He looks so truthful, is this how he feels; Trying to peel the moon and expose it
I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring.
Are you still my friend, baby, show me a sign
Where black is the color, where none is the number
I'm in love with the Ugliest Girl in the World
As the last fire truck from hell; Goes rolling by, all good people are praying
Oh, the only decent thing I did when I worked as a postal clerk; Was to haul your picture down off the wall near the cage where I used to work.; Was I a fool or not to try to protect your identity?; You looked a little burned out, my friend,; I thought it might be up to me.
All I feel is heat and flame and all I see are dark eyes.
But I will be back, I will survive,; You'll never get rid of me as long as you're alive.
Won't you dance with me?; I'm fallin' in love with you.
Oh, baby, that god you been prayin' to; Is gonna give ya back what you're wishin' on someone else
Let the wind blow low, let the wind blow high.; One day the little boy and the little girl were both baked in a pie.
Well, he can be fascinating, he can be dull,; He can ride down Niagara Falls in the barrels of your skull.
Well, the chances are against it and the odds are slim,; That he'll live by the rules that the world makes for him
The party's over, and there's less and less to say
You could ride like Annie Oakley,; You could shoot like Belle Starr.
I could say that I'd be faithful, I could say it in one sweet, easy breath; But to you that would be cruelty and to me it surely would be death.
Well, the road is rocky and the hillside's mud; Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood
You were trying to break into another world; A world I never knew.; I always kind of wondered; If you ever made it through.
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin,; Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in.
He said, Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?; I said, I got no money. He said, That ain't necessary.
There was music in the cafes at night; And revolution in the air.
Give ya delusions of grandeur; And a evil eye; Give you idea that; You're too good to die
Without freedom of speech, I might be in the swamp.
Something there is about you that brings back a long forgotten truth
Do you ever wonder just what God requires?; You think He's just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires.
You can't get to glory by the raising and the lowering of no flag.; Put your goodness next to God's and it comes out like a filthy rag.
He said his name was Columbus; I just said, "Good luck."
Darkness at the break of noon
We grew up together; From the cradle to the grave; We died and were reborn; And then mysteriously saved.
Whatever you wanted; Slipped out of my mind
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.
All the tired horses in the sun; How'm I supposed to get any ridin' done? Hmm.
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore; You may not see me tomorrow.
I just want you to know; I can see through your masks
I can't help it if I'm lucky.
Betrayed by a kiss on a cool night of bliss; In the valley of the missing link
This time tomorrow I'll know you better; When my memory is not so short.
We're idiots, babe.; It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves.
People ask about you; I didn't tell them everything I knew
If the bible is right, the world will explode
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,; Should I leave them by your gate,; Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
'Cause he doesn't tell you jokes or fairy tales, say he's got no style.
