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
