Just do your thing, you'll be king; If dogs run free.
He said, Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?; I said, I got no money. He said, That ain't necessary.
Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed; Dignity never been photographed
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss.
The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed
Some things in life, it gets too late to learn
Let me ask you one question; Is your money that good
Now the moon is almost hidden; The stars are beginning to hide; The fortunetelling lady; Has even taken all her things inside
Well, I spied a girl and before she could leave,; "Let's go and play Adam and Eve."; I took her by the hand and my heart it was thumpin'; When she said, "Hey man, you crazy or sumpin',; You see what happened last time they started."
Lost time is not found again
Oh ev'ry foe that ever I faced
The cause was there before we came.
Do you know where we're headin'?; Lincoln County Road or Armageddon?
I am hanging in the balance, of the reality of man; like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand
People on the platforms; Waiting for the trains; I can hear their hearts a-beatin'; Like pendulums swinging on chains
But the magician is quicker and his game; Is much thicker than blood and blacker than ink
Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,; Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
When He rose from the dead, did they believe?
I wasn't born to lose you.
I don't know why I love her but I just can't stop
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously; But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
Oh, baby, that god you been prayin' to; Is gonna give ya back what you're wishin' on someone else
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind; You could have done better but I don't mind; You just kinda wasted my precious time
Don't you know there's nothing new that's under the sun?; Well, there ain't no man righteous, no not one.
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast;
Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last.
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
Won't you dance with me?; I'm fallin' in love with you.
Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand,; And rivers that ran through ev'ry day.
I hear that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.
Does she know I still care?
When there is no more,; You cut to the core; Quicker than anyone I knew.
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
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
If you're looking for assistance, babe,; Or if you just want some company; Or if you just want a friend you can talk to,; Honey, come and see about me.
I can smile in the face of mankind.; Don't even remember what her lips felt like on mine; Most of the time.
The drinks are ready and the dogs are going to war
They don't want me around; 'Cause I believe in you.
Don't follow leaders; Watch the parkin' meters
The pump don't work; 'Cause the vandals took the handles
Well, I don't have to be no doctor, babe,; To see that you're madly in love.
Pain sure brings out the best in people, doesn't it?
I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.; Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
You're gonna have to serve somebody.
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.
People ask about you; I didn't tell them everything I knew
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past; I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
There's only one step down from here, baby,; It's called the land of permanent bliss.
your pleasure knows no limits
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats; Too noble to neglect; Deceived me into thinking; I had something to protect
Well I don't dare close my eyes and I don't dare wink; Maybe in the next life I'll be able to hear myself think
The treasure can't be found by men who search
But does anyone hear the music they play
Does anyone even try?
Yes, I see you on your window ledge; But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge
Junk is piling up, taking up space
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
I got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles,; I think maybe we'd better leave each other alone.
