It's too bright a light, he said, "For anybody's eyes,; If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."
Won't you dance with me?; I'm fallin' in love with you.
The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed
You should be made; To wear earphones
Goodnight, my love, may the lord have mercy on us all.
Heart of mine be still,; You can play with fire, But you'll get the bill
You'd better do somethin' quick; She's your lover now.
Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial
Somebody's got to find your trail,; I guess it must be up to me.
You were trying to break into another world; A world I never knew.; I always kind of wondered; If you ever made it through.
Guess it's too late to say the things to you; That you needed to hear me say.
I'm going out of my mind; With a pain that stops and starts
He bought me with a price,; Freed me from the pit,; Full of emptiness and wrath; And the fire that burns in it.
I'd never say; That I done it the way; That you'd have liked me to.
Our conversation was short and sweet; It nearly swept me off-a my feet.
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss.
When we meet again; Introduced as friends; Please don't let on that you knew me when; I was hungry and it was your world.
And then you told me later, as I apologized; That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
Pardon, monsieur," the desk clerk says,; Carefully removes his fez,; "Am I hearin' you right?"
And I can't let go, won't let go, and I can't let go no more.
If dogs run free, why not me; Across the swamp of time?
Ring them bells, for the time that flies,; For the child that cries; When innocence dies.
Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed
She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe; "I thought you'd never say hello," she said; "You look like the silent type."
goodbye's too good a word, gal; so I'll just say fare thee well
Done so many evil things in the name of love, it's a crying shame; I never did see no fire that could put out a flame.
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
A saxophone someplace far off played
She's a hypnotist collector
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
You will search, babe, At any cost.; But how long, babe, Can you search for what's not lost?
Well, it's always been my nature to take chances; My right hand drawing back while my left hand advances
Precious angel, you believe me when I say; What God has given to us no man can take away.
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
I fought with my twin, that enemy within, 'til both of us fell by the way.
My conscience is beginning to bother me today.
Betrayed by a kiss on a cool night of bliss; In the valley of the missing link
All the tired horses in the sun; How'm I supposed to get any ridin' done? Hmm.
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go; To the valley below
Well, You've done it all and there's no more anyone can pretend to do.; What can I do for You?
Yes, I see you on your window ledge; But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge
Don't trust me to show you love; When my love may be only lust.
So long, New York.; Howdy, East Orange.
Well the desert is hot, the mountain is cursed,; Pray that I don't die of thirst,; Baby, two feet from the well.
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
The man in me will hide sometimes to keep from bein' seen,; But that's just because he doesn't want to turn into some machine.
Just like you I'm wondrin' what I'm doin' here.; Just like you I'm wondrin' what's goin' on.
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch.
Did I miss the mark or; Over-step the line; That only you could see?
As the last fire truck from hell; Goes rolling by, all good people are praying
They used to grow food in Kansas; Now they want to grow it on the moon and eat it raw.; I can see the day coming when even your home garden; Is gonna be against the law.
Reality has always had too many heads
And they're breaking down the distance; Between right and wrong.
It's many a guard; That stands around smilin',; Holdin' his club; Like he was a king.
Your magnetic movements; Still capture the minutes I'm in.
