Don't know if I saw you, if I would kiss you or kill you; It probably wouldn't matter to you anyhow
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,; Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,; With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,; Let me forget about today until tomorrow.
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
Everything passes,; Everything changes,; Just do what you think you should do.
Everybody's doin' something,; I heard it in a dream,; But when there's too much of nothing,; It just makes a fella mean.
Well the desert is hot, the mountain is cursed,; Pray that I don't die of thirst,; Baby, two feet from the well.
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
I'm going back to New York City; I do believe I've had enough
Just what do you think you have to guard?
Now you stand here expectin' me to remember somethin' you forgot to say
Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,; Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
The door has closed forevermore
If indeed there ever was a door
She still lives inside of me, we've never been apart.
It's for myself and my friends my stories are sung.
People disagreeing on all just about everything, yeah,; Makes you stop and all wonder why.
If the bible is right, the world will explode
The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed
Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer; It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
We're going all the way 'til the wheels fall off and burn
May you have a strong foundation; When the winds of changes shift
Well, I got a harmonica job, begun to play,; Blowin' my lungs out for a dollar a day.
I believe in the impossible, you know that I do
I'm goin' down to Tennessee,; Get me a truck 'r somethin'.; Gonna save my money and rip it up!
And, when I was through; I filled up my shoe; And brought it to you.
You should be made; To wear earphones
Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line,; Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine.
When the last rays of daylight go down; Buddy, you'll roll no more; I can hear the church bells ringing in the yard; I wonder who they're ringing for
They say you're usin' voodoo, I seen your feet walk by themselves
Satan whispers to ya, "Well, I don't want to bore ya,; But when ya get tired of the Miss So-and-so I got another woman for ya."
What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood
Those are the hills of hell-fire my love; Where you and I will unite
Silver and gold; Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift
Done so many evil things in the name of love, it's a crying shame; I never did see no fire that could put out a flame.
I just can't fit; Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
Every day of the year's like playin' Russian roulette
to live outside the law, you must be honest
the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
Do I need your permission to turn the other cheek?; If you can read my mind, why must I speak?
Your loyalty is not to me; But to the stars above
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
Seen the arrow on the doorpost; Saying, "This land is condemned; All the way from New Orleans; To Jerusalem."
I must admit I felt a little uneasy; When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
And I, I don't mind the pain; Don't mind the driving rain; I know I will sustain; 'Cause I believe in you.
