And they're breaking down the distance; Between right and wrong.
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."
People on the platforms; Waiting for the trains; I can hear their hearts a-beatin'; Like pendulums swinging on chains
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
How does it feel
We never thought we could ever get old.; We thought we could sit forever in fun
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation; There are no words that need to be said
Goodnight, my love, may the lord have mercy on us all.
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.
Democracy don't rule the world,; You'd better get that in your head.; This world is ruled by violence; But I guess that's better left unsaid.
Put your ear to the train tracks, put your ear to the ground,; You ever feel like you're never alone even when there's nobody else around?; Since the beginning of the universe man's been cursed by trouble.
Let the wind blow low, let the wind blow high.; One day the little boy and the little girl were both baked in a pie.
Well, if I had to do it all over again,; Babe, I'd do it all over you.
May you have a strong foundation; When the winds of changes shift
Build a fire, throw on logs; And listen to it hiss; And let it burn, burn, burn, burn; On a night like this.
Senor, senor, let's disconnect these cables,; Overturn these tables.; This place don't make sense to me no more.
As his youth now unfolds; He is centuries old; Just to see him at play makes me smile; No matter what happens to me; No matter what my destiny; Lord, protect my child
Dark Beauty; Meet me at the border late tonight
Have I surrendered to the will of God; Or am I still acting like the boss?
The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed
It was true that in his later years he would not carry a gun; "I'm around too many children," he'd say, "they should never know of one."
When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things that remain?
Try to be pure at heart, they arrest you for robbery,; Mistake your shyness for aloofness, your shyness for snobbery
Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love.
I've been hit too hard, I've seen too much; Nothing can heal me now, but your touch
Tell her she can look me up if she's got the time.
Now the rainman gave me two cures,; Then he said, "Jump right in."; The one was Texas medicine,; The other was just railroad gin.
Won't you descend from the throne, from where you sit?
People tell me it's a sin; To know and feel too much within.
There was music in the cafes at night; And revolution in the air.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
And then you told me later, as I apologized; That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
There are those who worship loneliness, I'm not one of them
I seen the kingdoms of the world and it's makin' me feel afraid.
We're both just one too many mornings; An' a thousand miles behind.
The vagabond who's rapping at your door; Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
Your magnetic movements; Still capture the minutes I'm in.
Have you got some unfinished business?; Is there something holding you back?; Are you thinking for yourself; Or are you following the pack?
Do you ever wonder just what God requires?; You think He's just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires.
I've already ripped out the phones, honey.; You can't walk the streets in a war
If you're a doctor, I need a shot of love.
Do you know where we're headin'?; Lincoln County Road or Armageddon?
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.
Do I need your permission to turn the other cheek?; If you can read my mind, why must I speak?
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
Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory
All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
That's how it is when things disintegrate
In the hills of mystery,; In the foggy web of destiny,; You can have what's left of me,; Where we were born in time.
They said it was the land of milk and honey,; now they say it's the land of money.; Who ever thought they could ever make that stick.
I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down
At the corrida we'll sit in the shade; And watch the young torero stand alone.; We'll drink tequila where our grandfathers stayed; When they rode with Villa into Torreon.
Could you ever be true?
Boys in the street beginning to play; Girls like birds flying away
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,; Should I leave them by your gate,; Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
Well, the chances are against it and the odds are slim,; That he'll live by the rules that the world makes for him
I see people who are supposed to know better standin' around like furniture.
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
When he died I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious
