When destruction cometh swiftly; And there's no time to say a fare-thee-well,; Have you decided whether you want to be; In heaven or in hell?
Betrayed by a kiss on a cool night of bliss; In the valley of the missing link
You're the other half of what I am, you're the missing piece
I can change, I swear, oh, oh,; See what you can do.; I can make it through,; You can make it too.
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.
Was that the thunder that I heard?; My head is vibrating, I feel a sharp pain
I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
Nobody feels any pain
I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies; I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
I'll remember you; When the wind blows through the piney wood.
Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed
Won't you descend from the throne, from where you sit?
As the last fire truck from hell; Goes rolling by, all good people are praying
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
The sky is erupting, I must go where it's quiet.
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,; And the dust of rumors covers me.
Don't trust me to show you the truth; When the truth may only be ashes and dust.
I seen the kingdoms of the world and it's makin' me feel afraid.
I'm already there in my mind; And that's good enough for now
Do you know where we're headin'?; Lincoln County Road or Armageddon?
It's the last temptation; The last account; The last time you might hear the sermon on the mount,; The last radio is playing.
And every one of them words rang true; And glowed like burnin' coal; Pourin' off of every page; Like it was written in my soul from me to you
All the laughter is just making me sad
They say ev'rything can be replaced
I'll remember you; At the end of the trail,; I had so much left to do,; I had so little time to fail.
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?
'Twas then that I knew what he had on his mind.
I know all about poison, I know all about fiery darts,; I don't care how rough the road is, show me where it starts,; Whatever pleases You, tell it to my heart.
I hear that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.
If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise, remind me to show you the, scars.
Have I surrendered to the will of God; Or am I still acting like the boss?
If you're a doctor, I need a shot of love.
'Cause he doesn't tell you jokes or fairy tales, say he's got no style.
Won't you come with me, baby?; I'll take you where you wanna go.; And if it don't work out, You'll be the first to know
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me,; See like me or be like me.
I am hanging in the balance, of the reality of man; like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand
Since every pleasure's got an edge of pain; Pay for your ticket and don't complain
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
Louise, she's all right, she's just near; She's delicate and seems like the mirror; But she just makes it all too concise and too clear; That Johanna's not here
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.
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.
Lost time is not found again
She still lives inside of me, we've never been apart.
I wasn't born to lose you.
Well, you're on your own, you always were,; In a land of wolves and thieves.
If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry,; What good am I?
When there is no more,; You cut to the core; Quicker than anyone I knew.
But the magician is quicker and his game; Is much thicker than blood and blacker than ink
I was just too stubborn to ever be governed by enforced insanity
She once was a true love of mine
Gonna sleep down in the parlor; And relive my dreams
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours
You say you love me; And you're thinkin' of me,; But you know you could be wrong.
He said his name was Columbus; I just said, "Good luck."
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
Build a fire, throw on logs; And listen to it hiss; And let it burn, burn, burn, burn; On a night like this.
When you know as well as me; You'd rather see me paralyzed
