Has the record been breaking,; Did the needle just skip
People on the platforms; Waiting for the trains; I can hear their hearts a-beatin'; Like pendulums swinging on chains
In the home of the brave, Jefferson turnin' over in his grave
At dawn my lover comes to me; And tells me of her dreams; With no attempts to shovel the glimpse; Into the ditch of what each one means
Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that it passes through
My so-called friends have fallen under a spell.; They look me squarely in the eye and they say, "All is well."; Can they imagine the darkness that will fall from on high; When men will beg God to kill them and they won't be able to die?
Shall I hold you close?; Or Shall I let you go by?; Tell me.; Tell me.
Through the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast;
Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last.
I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech
She said, "Be easy, baby,; There ain't nothin' worth stealin' in here."
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden
Darkness at the break of noon
I still can remember the way that you smiled
When you think that you lost everything; You find out you can always lose a little more
she's true, like ice, like fire
If I had wings and I could fly,; I know where I would go.
Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore; You may not see me tomorrow.
Did I miss the mark or; Over-step the line; That only you could see?
I wouldn't be ashamed to be seen with you anywhere.
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
Go melt back into the night, babe,; Everything inside is made of stone.; There's nothing in here moving, An' anyway I'm not alone.
as long as the world keeps a-turnin', I just keep a-turnin' too.
If you want to live easy
Baby pack your clothes with mine
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
Give ya delusions of grandeur; And a evil eye; Give you idea that; You're too good to die
You should be made; To wear earphones
Oh, some of us'll end up; In St. Cloud Prison,; And some of us'll wind up, To be lawyers and things
Some things are too hot to touch; The human mind can only stand so much
All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
I was in a whirlwind, now I'm in some better place.
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.
Put my tears in a bottle
Screw the top on tight
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."
In the fury of the moment I can see the Master's hand; In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand.
Ain't complaining 'bout what I got; Seen better times, but who has not?
Soon as a man is born, you know the sparks begin to fly, He gets wise in his own eyes and he's made to believe a lie.
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin,; Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in.
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
And, when I was through; I filled up my shoe; And brought it to you.
What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this?
Can't you make any sound?
Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke
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.
All I really want to do,; Is, baby, be friends with you.
I'm going back to New York City; I do believe I've had enough
Maybe they'll get me and maybe they won't; But not tonight and it won't be here; There are things I could say but I don't; I know the mercy of God must be near
Ever since you walked right in, the circle's been complete
All I feel is heat and flame and all I see are dark eyes.
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss.
Lot of water under the bridge, Lot of other stuff too; Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through
Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
