Satan whispers to ya, "Well, I don't want to bore ya,; But when ya get tired of the Miss So-and-so I got another woman for ya."
Well, I try my best; To be just like I am,; But everybody wants you; To be just like them.
You know, the streets are filled with vipers; Who've lost all ray of hope,; You know, it ain't even safe no more; In the palace of the Pope.
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.
I was in a whirlwind, now I'm in some better place.
And I, I don't mind the pain; Don't mind the driving rain; I know I will sustain; 'Cause I believe in you.
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
At the corrida we'll sit in the shade; And watch the young torero stand alone.; We'll drink tequila where our grandfathers stayed; When they rode with Villa into Torreon.
the cops don't need you; and man they expect the same
Praise be to Nero's Neptune; The Titanic sails at dawn; And everybody's shouting; Which Side Are You On?
I don't need any reminder; To know how much I really care
In order to deal in this game, got to make the queen disappear,; It's done with a flick of the wrist.
You're the one I adore, come over here and give me more
Everybody's wearing a disguise; To hide what they've got left behind their eyes
Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
They say you're usin' voodoo, I seen your feet walk by themselves
We're going all the way 'til the wheels fall off and burn
May you always know the truth; And see the lights surrounding you.
The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder
Temptation's not an easy thing
You were snow, you were rain; You were striped, you were plain,;
Well the desert is hot, the mountain is cursed,; Pray that I don't die of thirst,; Baby, two feet from the well.
You got a lotta nerve; To say you are my friend
I don't wanna be hers, I wanna be yours.
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
No knife could ever cut our love apart
You're gonna have to serve somebody.
If your mem'ry serves you well,; You'll remember you're the one; That called on me to call on them; To get you your favors done.
All the people we used to know; Are an illusion to me now
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.
I'm already there in my mind; And that's good enough for now
Everybody's doin' something,; I heard it in a dream,; But when there's too much of nothing,; It just makes a fella mean.
And you, you took me in,; You loved me then; You didn't waste time.
there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden
I'd never say; That I done it the way; That you'd have liked me to.
Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed
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."
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.
Build a fire, throw on logs; And listen to it hiss; And let it burn, burn, burn, burn; On a night like this.
If God's on our side; He'll stop the next war.
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
Try to be pure at heart, they arrest you for robbery,; Mistake your shyness for aloofness, your shyness for snobbery
The drinks are ready and the dogs are going to war
Don't trust me to show you the truth; When the truth may only be ashes and dust.
Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
I'll remember you; At the end of the trail,; I had so much left to do,; I had so little time to fail.
Trees that've stood for a thousand years suddenly will fall.
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.
Goodnight, my love, may the lord have mercy on us all.
Put your hand on my head, baby, do I have a temperature?
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."
In the fury of the moment I can see the Master's hand; In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand.
Soon as a man is born, you know the sparks begin to fly, He gets wise in his own eyes and he's made to believe a lie.
Pain sure brings out the best in people, doesn't it?
Give ya delusions of grandeur; And a evil eye; Give you idea that; You're too good to die
Don't follow leaders; Watch the parkin' meters
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
