An' here I sit so patiently; Waiting to find out what price; You have to pay to get out of; Going through all these things twice.
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.
My head tells me it's time to make a change; But my heart is telling me I love ya but you're strange.
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.
What was it you wanted; When you were kissing my check?
No knife could ever cut our love apart
Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift
I still can remember the way that you smiled
Every brain is civilized,; Every nerve is analyzed,; Everything is criticized when you are in need.
Won't you descend from the throne, from where you sit?
Tell ev'rybody; Down in ol' 'Frisco; That Tiny Montgomery's comin'; Down to say Hello
I am hanging in the balance, of the reality of man; like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand
Won't you come with me, baby?; I'll take you where you wanna go.; And if it don't work out, You'll be the first to know
He said his name was Columbus; I just said, "Good luck."
She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the Jack of Hearts
They say you're usin' voodoo, I seen your feet walk by themselves
You lose yourself, you reappear
Because something is happening here; But you don't know what it is; Do you, Mister Jones?
People are crazy and times are strange
I wish that for just one time; You could stand inside my shoes; You'd know what a drag it is; To see you
Well, there's voices in the night trying to be heard; I'm sitting here listening to every mind polluting word
And you never ask questions; When God's on your side.
When you know as well as me; You'd rather see me paralyzed
You breathed on me and made my life a richer one to live,; When I was deep in poverty you taught me how to give
Lovin' you is the one thing I'll never regret.
People carry roses
Make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
I don't know why I love her but I just can't stop
goodbye's too good a word, gal; so I'll just say fare thee well
I been hangin’ on threads
I been playin’ it straight
Now, I’ve just got to cut loose
Before it gets late
And now the heart is filled with gold; As if it was a purse.; But, oh, what kind of love is this; Which goes from bad to worse?
Now the moon is almost hidden; The stars are beginning to hide; The fortunetelling lady; Has even taken all her things inside
Somethin' there is about you that I can't quite put my finger on.
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.
And then you told me later, as I apologized; That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
You're the one I adore, come over here and give me more
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.
I'm in love with the Ugliest Girl in the World
People tell me it's a sin; To know and feel too much within.
Ring them bells, for the time that flies,; For the child that cries; When innocence dies.
Oh my name it is nothin'; My age it means less
A saxophone someplace far off played
Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy
Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial
Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke,; How long must I suffer, Lord, how long must I be provoked?; Satan will give you a little taste, then he'll move in with rapid speed,; Lord keep my blind side covered and see that I don't bleed.
I'm hungry and I'm irritable; And I'm tired of this bag of tricks.; At one time there was nothing wrong with me; That you could not fix.
I fought with my twin, that enemy within, 'til both of us fell by the way.
Praise be to Nero's Neptune; The Titanic sails at dawn; And everybody's shouting; Which Side Are You On?
Well it's way past midnight and there are people all around; Some on their way up, some on their way down
'Cause he doesn't tell you jokes or fairy tales, say he's got no style.
All my friends have told me; If I hang around with you; That I'll go blind
Don’t think twice, it’s all right
There was music in the cafes at night; And revolution in the air.
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation; There are no words that need to be said
This is the key to the kingdom and this is the town; This is the blind horse that leads you around
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
You don't want a love that's pure; You wanna drown love; You want a watered-down love
