Since every pleasure's got an edge of pain; Pay for your ticket and don't complain
Not one more night, not one more kiss,; Not this time baby, no more of this,; Takes too much skill, takes too much will,; It's revealing.
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
There's always some new stranger sneakin' glances,; Some trigger-happy fool willin' to take chances
Well the desert is hot, the mountain is cursed,; Pray that I don't die of thirst,; Baby, two feet from the well.
Trees that've stood for a thousand years suddenly will fall.
If God's on our side; He'll stop the next war.
Can you tell me what we're waiting for, senor?
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
This wheel shall explode!
Can't you make any sound?
And if my thought-dreams could be seen, They'd probably put my head in a guillotine
I don't want to fake you out
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me,; See like me or be like me.
If the bible is right, the world will explode
I can't provide for you no easy answers,; Who are you that I should have to lie?
May you always know the truth; And see the lights surrounding you.
Handy dandy, he got a basket of flowers and a bag full or sorrow
You're gonna have to serve somebody.
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency
All the people we used to know; Are an illusion to me now
What kind of sign they need when it all come from within
Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road
I just want you to know; I can see through your masks
Searching for my double, looking for; Complete evaporation to the core
What good am I if I say foolish things; And I laugh in the face of what sorrow brings; And I just turn my back while you silently die,; What good am I?
Goodnight, my love, may the lord have mercy on us all.
Boys in the street beginning to play; Girls like birds flying away
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take; To find dignity
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
Well my nerves are exploding and my body's tense; I feel like the whole world got me pinned up against the fence
I thought somehow that I would be spared this fate
My heart's in the Highlands at the break of dawn; By the beautiful lake of the Black Swan; Big white clouds, like chariots that swing down low; Well my heart's in the Highlands; Only place left to go
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
Get the loot, don't be slow, we're gonna catch a trout
Oh, some of us'll end up; In St. Cloud Prison,; And some of us'll wind up, To be lawyers and things
It was then that I got up to leave; But she said, "Don't forget,; Everybody must give something back; For something they get."
The drinks are ready and the dogs are going to war
When you think that you lost everything; You find out you can always lose a little more
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.
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."
You lose yourself, you reappear
Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
People carry roses
Make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her
Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed; Dignity never been photographed
Saw you drift into infinity and come back again
I know all about poison, I know all about fiery darts,; I don't care how rough the road is, show me where it starts,; Whatever pleases You, tell it to my heart.
Our conversation was short and sweet; It nearly swept me off-a my feet.
Are you still my friend, baby, show me a sign
She knows there's no success like failure; And that failure's no success at all.
Oh ev'ry foe that ever I faced
The cause was there before we came.
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours
What drives me to you is what drives me insane.
I fought with my twin, that enemy within, 'til both of us fell by the way.
How can I explain?; Oh, it's so hard to get on
The walls of pride are high and wide; Can't see over to the other side; It's such a sad thing to see beauty decay; It's sadder still, to feel your heart torn away
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go; To the valley below
