Oh, ev'ry thought that's strung a knot in my mind,; I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung.
Someone else is speakin' with my mouth, but I'm listening only to my heart.
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting; That's hanging in the Louvre
Tell her she can look me up if she's got the time.
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
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.
But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency,; All non-believers and men stealers talkin' in the name of religion
Whatever you gonna do,; Please do it fast.
Your cracked country lips,; I still wish to kiss,; As to be under the strength of your skin.
Now I wish I could write you a melody so plain; That could hold you dear lady from going insane
Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain
you remind me of something that used to be; somethin' that crossed over from another century
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past; I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast;
Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last.
Our conversation was short and sweet; It nearly swept me off-a my feet.
While my conscience explodes; The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
Wallflower, wallflower; Take a chance on me.; Please let me ride you home.
Well, it's always been my nature to take chances; My right hand drawing back while my left hand advances
Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line,; Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine.
When the last rays of daylight go down; Buddy, you'll roll no more; I can hear the church bells ringing in the yard; I wonder who they're ringing for
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.
Let the wind blow low, let the wind blow high.; One day the little boy and the little girl were both baked in a pie.
I wasn't born to lose you.
No knife could ever cut our love apart
What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood
I finally realize there's no room for regret
there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden
If God's on our side; He'll stop the next war.
I can smile in the face of mankind.; Don't even remember what her lips felt like on mine; Most of the time.
You could ride like Annie Oakley,; You could shoot like Belle Starr.
The treasure can't be found by men who search
I've already ripped out the phones, honey.; You can't walk the streets in a war
Now the rainman gave me two cures,; Then he said, "Jump right in."; The one was Texas medicine,; The other was just railroad gin.
Are you looking at me and thinking of somebody else?
Some things last longer than you think they will; There are some kind of things you can never kill
Shine your light, shine your light on me; Ya know I just couldn't make it by myself.; I'm a little too blind to see
You were trying to break into another world; A world I never knew.; I always kind of wondered; If you ever made it through.
You say you love me; And you're thinkin' of me,; But you know you could be wrong.
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.
I still can remember the way that you smiled
Now the moon is almost hidden; The stars are beginning to hide; The fortunetelling lady; Has even taken all her things inside
And I can't let go, won't let go, and I can't let go no more.
Your magnetic movements; Still capture the minutes I'm in.
Wiggle 'til you're high, wiggle 'til you're higher,; Wiggle 'til you vomit fire
I thought somehow that I would be spared this fate
It's too bright a light, he said, "For anybody's eyes,; If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."
I must admit I felt a little uneasy; When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
There's some people that; You don't forget,; Even though you've only seen'm; One time or two.
I'm going back to New York City; I do believe I've had enough
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
Well, you're on your own, you always were,; In a land of wolves and thieves.
I'll give you more gold; Than your apron can hold; If you'll only let your hair hang low
I must be guilty of something,; You just whisper it into my ear.
I don't wanna be hers, I wanna be yours.
Well my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
I got a poison headache,; But I feel all right
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
This time tomorrow I'll know you better; When my memory is not so short.
