There's always some new stranger sneakin' glances,; Some trigger-happy fool willin' to take chances
I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too"; He said, "You're not Him"
And then you told me later, as I apologized; That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
Don't you cry and don't you die and don't you burn
When you cease to exist, then who will you blame?; I've tried my best to love you, but I cannot play this game; Your best friend and my worst enemy is one and the same
When you think that you lost everything; You find out you can always lose a little more
Either I'm too sensitive or else I'm gettin' soft.
Lovin' you is the one thing I'll never regret.
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go; To the valley below
Insanity is smashing up against my soul; You can say I was on anything but a roll; If I had a conscience, well I just might blow my top; What would I do with it anyway ; Maybe take it to the pawn shop

Today on the countryside it was a-hotter than a crotch
Louise, she's all right, she's just near; She's delicate and seems like the mirror; But she just makes it all too concise and too clear; That Johanna's not here
Praise be to Nero's Neptune; The Titanic sails at dawn; And everybody's shouting; Which Side Are You On?
I'd never say; That I done it the way; That you'd have liked me to.
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?
I'm walking through streets that are dead
They don't want me around; 'Cause I believe in you.
Tough Mama; Can I blow a little smoke on you?
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
Oh ev'ry foe that ever I faced
The cause was there before we came.
I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech
All I feel is heat and flame and all I see are dark eyes.
I finally realize there's no room for regret
I see people in the park forgetting their troubles and woes; They're drinking and dancing, wearing bright colored clothes; All the young men with their young women looking so good; Well, I'd trade places with any of them ; In a minute, if I could
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.
People carry roses
Make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her
I'm T-boned and punctured; But I'm known to be calm
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."
All the people we used to know; Are an illusion to me now
Reality has always had too many heads
They say you're usin' voodoo, I seen your feet walk by themselves
Well my house is on fire, burning to the sky
Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer; It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.
Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
Go 'way from my window,; Leave at your own chosen speed.

In the day of confession; We cannot mock a soul.; Oh, when there's too much of nothing,; No one has control.
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
Those are the hill of heaven, my love; You and I'll never know
Something there is about you that brings back a long forgotten truth
I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch.
Boys in the street beginning to play; Girls like birds flying away
Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that it passes through
Are you still my friend, baby, show me a sign
I'm goin' down to Tennessee,; Get me a truck 'r somethin'.; Gonna save my money and rip it up!
I got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles,; I think maybe we'd better leave each other alone.

In order to deal in this game, got to make the queen disappear,; It's done with a flick of the wrist.
A million faces at my feet; But all I see are dark eyes
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
I wouldn't be ashamed to be seen with you anywhere.
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.
When I'm all alone; In the great unknown,; I'll remember you.
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,; All the pigeons gonna run to him.
