You speak to me; In sign language; As I'm eating a sandwich
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells; I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
This wheel shall explode!
I am hanging in the balance, of the reality of man; like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand
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."
Praise be to Nero's Neptune; The Titanic sails at dawn; And everybody's shouting; Which Side Are You On?
Everything passes,; Everything changes,; Just do what you think you should do.
Just like you I'm wondrin' what I'm doin' here.; Just like you I'm wondrin' what's goin' on.
How can I explain?; Oh, it's so hard to get on
The door has closed forevermore
If indeed there ever was a door
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke
Now the moon is almost hidden; The stars are beginning to hide; The fortunetelling lady; Has even taken all her things inside
Can't you hear that motor turnin'?; Automobile comin' into style
you remind me of something that used to be; somethin' that crossed over from another century
The sun's not yellow it's chicken
Well my nerves are exploding and my body's tense; I feel like the whole world got me pinned up against the fence
Turn your back, wash your hands,; There's always someone who understands
Our conversation was short and sweet; It nearly swept me off-a my feet.
Oh, the only decent thing I did when I worked as a postal clerk; Was to haul your picture down off the wall near the cage where I used to work.; Was I a fool or not to try to protect your identity?; You looked a little burned out, my friend,; I thought it might be up to me.
He said, Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?; I said, I got no money. He said, That ain't necessary.
You could ride like Annie Oakley,; You could shoot like Belle Starr.
What makes the wind wanna blow tonight?
Don't have to look no further, you're the soul of many things.
People disagreeing everywhere you look,; Makes you wanna stop and read a book.
Son, this ain't a dream no more, it's the real thing.
When He rose from the dead, did they believe?
She's got everything she needs,; She's an artist, she don't look back
I finally realize there's no room for regret
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
What drives me to you is what drives me insane.
They don't want me around; 'Cause I believe in you.
I wish that for just one time; You could stand inside my shoes; You'd know what a drag it is; To see you
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.
Has the record been breaking,; Did the needle just skip
My heart's in the Highlands at the break of dawn; By the beautiful lake of the Black Swan; Big white clouds, like chariots that swing down low; Well my heart's in the Highlands; Only place left to go
When you know as well as me; You'd rather see me paralyzed
We pointed out the way to go; And scratched your name in sand,; Though you just thought it was nothing more; Than a place for you to stand.
May you have a strong foundation; When the winds of changes shift
Guess it's too late to say the things to you; That you needed to hear me say.
Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love.
For the loser now; Will be later to win
Wealth is a filthy rag; So erotic so unpatriotic; So wrapped up in the American flag
What was it you wanted; When you were kissing my check?
You're gonna have to serve somebody.
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
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.
Look into infinity, all you see is trouble.
Did I miss the mark or; Over-step the line; That only you could see?
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,; Should I leave them by your gate,; Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
My so-called friends have fallen under a spell.; They look me squarely in the eye and they say, "All is well."; Can they imagine the darkness that will fall from on high; When men will beg God to kill them and they won't be able to die?
But I will be back, I will survive,; You'll never get rid of me as long as you're alive.
Tell her she can look me up if she's got the time.
Most of the time; I can't even be sure; If she was ever with me; Or if I was with her.
Will I ever learn that there'll be no peace, that the war won't cease; Until He returns?
Go melt back into the night, babe,; Everything inside is made of stone.; There's nothing in here moving, An' anyway I'm not alone.
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.
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.
