I seen the kingdoms of the world and it's makin' me feel afraid.
I'm going out of my mind; With a pain that stops and starts
So long, New York.; Howdy, East Orange.
That long black cloud is comin' down
I believe in the impossible, you know that I do
If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise, remind me to show you the, scars.
Goodnight, my love, may the lord have mercy on us all.
I wish that for just one time; You could stand inside my shoes; You'd know what a drag it is; To see you
Do you ever wonder just what God requires?; You think He's just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires.
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."
Your cracked country lips,; I still wish to kiss,; As to be under the strength of your skin.
No time to suffer or blink; And no time to think
For the loser now; Will be later to win
I don't know why I love her but I just can't stop
This is the key to the kingdom and this is the town; This is the blind horse that leads you around
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
I'm already there in my mind; And that's good enough for now
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.
The sky is trembling, And I must leave.
When He rose from the dead, did they believe?
I was all right 'til I fell in love with you
Gonna take dancing lessons do the jitterbug rag; Ain't no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag; Only a fool in here would think he's got anything to prove
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.
she's true, like ice, like fire
If there's a poor boy on the street,; Then let him have my seat; 'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
The sun's not yellow it's chicken
You lose yourself, you reappear
Son, this ain't a dream no more, it's the real thing.
For all eternity I think I will remember; That icy wind that's howling in your eye.
Get the loot, don't be slow, we're gonna catch a trout
Put your ear to the train tracks, put your ear to the ground,; You ever feel like you're never alone even when there's nobody else around?; Since the beginning of the universe man's been cursed by trouble.
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
Put your body next to mine; And keep me company,; There is plenty a room for all,; So please don't elbow me.
Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy
I stood unwound beneath the skies; And clouds unbound by laws.
In the fury of the moment I can see the Master's hand; In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand.
I feel nothing for their game where beauty goes unrecognized
Without freedom of speech, I might be in the swamp.
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?
You can make me cry; Never say goodbye
I look into the eyes of my merciful friend
And then I ask myself, is this the end?
Memories linger, sad yet sweet
And I think of the souls in heaven who will meet
I'm goin' down to Tennessee,; Get me a truck 'r somethin'.; Gonna save my money and rip it up!
I finally realize there's no room for regret
Won't you descend from the throne, from where you sit?
My children will go, As soon as they grow.; Well, there ain't nothing here now to hold them.
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder
Every time you leave and go off someplace,; Things fall to pieces in my face
Everybody's doin' something,; I heard it in a dream,; But when there's too much of nothing,; It just makes a fella mean.
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."
My conscience is beginning to bother me today.
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go; To the valley below
you remind me of something that used to be; somethin' that crossed over from another century
May you build a ladder to the stars; And climb on every rung.
What good am I if I know and don't do,; I If I see and don't say, if I look right through you
I looked at my watch; I looked at my wrist; I punched myself in the face with my fist
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed,; Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features.
I'm T-boned and punctured; But I'm known to be calm
Gon' walk on down until I'm right beside the sun; I'm gonna have to put up a barrier to keep myself away from everyone.
