Put your hand on my head, baby, do I have a temperature?
If dogs run free, why not me; Across the swamp of time?
Oh, some of us'll end up; In St. Cloud Prison,; And some of us'll wind up, To be lawyers and things
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours
What makes the wind wanna blow tonight?
Thought I'd shaken the wonder and the phantoms of my youth
Well, the road is rocky and the hillside's mud; Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood
Oh, man has invented his doom, First step was touching the moon.
Too many thoughts get in the way in the day
One of these days and it won't be long; Going down in the valley and sing my song; I will sing it loud and sing it strong; Let the echo decide if I was right or wrong
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,; And the dust of rumors covers me.
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
I couldn't see where we were goin'; But you said you knew an' I took your word
Since every pleasure's got an edge of pain; Pay for your ticket and don't complain
you remind me of something that used to be; somethin' that crossed over from another century
We never thought we could ever get old.; We thought we could sit forever in fun
You will search, babe, At any cost.; But how long, babe, Can you search for what's not lost?
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation; There are no words that need to be said
What was it you wanted; When you were kissing my check?
How did I meet you? I don't know.
I just want you to know; I can see through your masks
Now the rainman gave me two cures,; Then he said, "Jump right in."; The one was Texas medicine,; The other was just railroad gin.
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
For the loser now; Will be later to win
An' here I sit so patiently; Waiting to find out what price; You have to pay to get out of; Going through all these things twice.
Yesterday everything was going too fast; Today, it's moving too slow
Not one more night, not one more kiss,; Not this time baby, no more of this,; Takes too much skill, takes too much will,; It's revealing.
If I had wings and I could fly,; I know where I would go.
Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,; Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
Build a fire, throw on logs; And listen to it hiss; And let it burn, burn, burn, burn; On a night like this.
What good am I if I know and don't do,; I If I see and don't say, if I look right through you
She's got everything she needs,; She's an artist, she don't look back
I need a dump truck mama to unload my head
Well, they're not showing any lights tonight; And there's no moon.
Are you still my friend, baby, show me a sign
The angels play on their horns all day,; The whole earth in progression seems to pass by.; But does anyone hear the music they play,; Does anyone even try?
as long as the world keeps a-turnin', I just keep a-turnin' too.
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
It's mighty funny; the end of time has just begun
Your cracked country lips,; I still wish to kiss,; As to be under the strength of your skin.
There was music in the cafes at night; And revolution in the air.
I couldn't see what you could show me; Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
I see people in the park forgetting their troubles and woes; They're drinking and dancing, wearing bright colored clothes; All the young men with their young women looking so good; Well, I'd trade places with any of them ; In a minute, if I could
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
I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.
All the tired horses in the sun; How'm I supposed to get any ridin' done? Hmm.
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
Well, you're on your own, you always were,; In a land of wolves and thieves.
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
Well, if I had to do it all over again,; Babe, I'd do it all over you.
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
Oh, ev'ry thought that's strung a knot in my mind,; I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung.
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed
I was in your presence for an hour or so; Or was it a day? I truly don't know.
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
