Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer; It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.
I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.
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
Everybody's doin' something,; I heard it in a dream,; But when there's too much of nothing,; It just makes a fella mean.
she's true, like ice, like fire
When we meet again; Introduced as friends; Please don't let on that you knew me when; I was hungry and it was your world.
I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies; I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
I could say that I'd be faithful, I could say it in one sweet, easy breath; But to you that would be cruelty and to me it surely would be death.
Mama, take this badge off of me
That's how it is when things disintegrate
to live outside the law, you must be honest
I was in a whirlwind, now I'm in some better place.
take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind
Put your hand on my head, baby, do I have a temperature?
Now, when I was just a bawlin' child,; I saw what I wanted to be
Gon' walk on down until I'm right beside the sun; I'm gonna have to put up a barrier to keep myself away from everyone.
I was all right 'til I fell in love with you
Don't trust me to show you love; When my love may be only lust.
In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection
You could ride like Annie Oakley,; You could shoot like Belle Starr.
Put my tears in a bottle
Screw the top on tight
Does she know I still care?
I believe in the impossible, you know that I do
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
Well, he can be fascinating, he can be dull,; He can ride down Niagara Falls in the barrels of your skull.
Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties; Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
Oh, some of us'll end up; In St. Cloud Prison,; And some of us'll wind up, To be lawyers and things
Won't you dance with me?; I'm fallin' in love with you.
Now, don't crowd me, lady; Or I'll fill up your shoe
I can't provide for you no easy answers,; Who are you that I should have to lie?
It's mighty funny; the end of time has just begun
Where black is the color, where none is the number
I just want you to know; I can see through your masks
Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood.; He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good.
She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe; "I thought you'd never say hello," she said; "You look like the silent type."
If he needs a third eye he just grows it
She's got everything she needs,; She's an artist, she don't look back
Dark Beauty; Meet me at the border late tonight
as long as the world keeps a-turnin', I just keep a-turnin' too.
I got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles,; I think maybe we'd better leave each other alone.
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
Roses are red, violets are blue; And time is beginning to crawl
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.
Some things last longer than you think they will; There are some kind of things you can never kill
Oh, man has invented his doom, First step was touching the moon.
Don't trust me to show you the truth; When the truth may only be ashes and dust.
I'm in love with the Ugliest Girl in the World
Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand,; And rivers that ran through ev'ry day.
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
I look into the eyes of my merciful friend
And then I ask myself, is this the end?
Memories linger, sad yet sweet
And I think of the souls in heaven who will meet
Everybody must get stoned.
Now at midnight all the agents; And the superhuman crew; Come out and round up everyone; That knows more than they do
You're gonna have to serve somebody.
I wasn't born to lose you.
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
If I had wings and I could fly,; I know where I would go.
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
They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table.
