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.
You'd better do somethin' quick; She's your lover now.
I fought with my twin, that enemy within, 'til both of us fell by the way.
Senor, senor, let's disconnect these cables,; Overturn these tables.; This place don't make sense to me no more.
I must be guilty of something,; You just whisper it into my ear.
You say you love me; And you're thinkin' of me,; But you know you could be wrong.
Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that it passes through
Did I miss the mark or; Over-step the line; That only you could see?
Well the desert is hot, the mountain is cursed,; Pray that I don't die of thirst,; Baby, two feet from the well.
Now there's spiritual warfare and flesh and blood breaking down.; Ya either got faith or ya got unbelief and there ain't no neutral ground.
And now the heart is filled with gold; As if it was a purse.; But, oh, what kind of love is this; Which goes from bad to worse?
And then you told me later, as I apologized; That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
They tell me everything is gonna be all right; But I don't know what "all right" even means
I thought somehow that I would be spared this fate
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."
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously; But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
It's the ways of the flesh to war against the spirit; Twenty-four hours a day you can feel it and you can hear it; Using all the devices under the sun.
Just do your thing, you'll be king; If dogs run free.
Give me a string bean, I'm a hungry man.
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
Well, the road is rocky and the hillside's mud; Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood
You're gonna have to serve somebody.
When you cease to exist, then who will you blame?; I've tried my best to love you, but I cannot play this game; Your best friend and my worst enemy is one and the same
Those are the hills of hell-fire my love; Where you and I will unite
Mama, take this badge off of me
I like the cool way you look at me,; Everything about you is bringing me; Misery.
All I really want to do,; Is, baby, be friends with you.
If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry,; What good am I?
Could you ever be true?
Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift
Time passes slowly when you're lost in a dream.
Now you stand here expectin' me to remember somethin' you forgot to say
Put your body next to mine; And keep me company,; There is plenty a room for all,; So please don't elbow me.
Shall I hold you close?; Or Shall I let you go by?; Tell me.; Tell me.
I was all right 'til I fell in love with you
Turn your back, wash your hands,; There's always someone who understands
Junk is piling up, taking up space
I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail,; Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail,; Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn.
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
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go; To the valley below
The door has closed forevermore
If indeed there ever was a door
I gotta go; Find out something only dead men know
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies; I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
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.
I can smile in the face of mankind.; Don't even remember what her lips felt like on mine; Most of the time.
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,; Should I leave them by your gate,; Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
to live outside the law, you must be honest
It ain't my cup of meat.
I'll remember you; When the wind blows through the piney wood.
What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood
When you think that you lost everything; You find out you can always lose a little more
I just want you to know; I can see through your masks
Does she know I still care?
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
There's only one step down from here, baby,; It's called the land of permanent bliss.
We never thought we could ever get old.; We thought we could sit forever in fun
How did I meet you? I don't know.
The walls of pride are high and wide; Can't see over to the other side; It's such a sad thing to see beauty decay; It's sadder still, to feel your heart torn away
