Betrayed by a kiss on a cool night of bliss;
In the valley of the missing link

Silver and gold;
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold

The country music station plays soft;
but there's nothing, really nothing, to turn off

So long, New York.;
Howdy, East Orange.

Oh, ev'ry thought that's strung a knot in my mind,;
I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung.

the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming

Look into infinity, all you see is trouble.

You don't need a weather man;
To know which way the wind blows

Now the moon is almost hidden;
The stars are beginning to hide;
The fortunetelling lady;
Has even taken all her things inside

Through the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales

Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore;
You may not see me tomorrow.

I seen the kingdoms of the world and it's makin' me feel afraid.

Reality has always had too many heads

Let's try to get beneath the surface waste, girl,;
No more booby traps and bombs,;
No more decadence and charm,;
No more affection that's misplaced, girl

I was in your presence for an hour or so;
Or was it a day? I truly don't know.

If you're lookin' to get silly;
You better go back to from where you came

The man in me will hide sometimes to keep from bein' seen,;
But that's just because he doesn't want to turn into some machine.

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.

Either I'm too sensitive or else I'm gettin' soft.

A saxophone someplace far off played

Well, he can be fascinating, he can be dull,;
He can ride down Niagara Falls in the barrels of your skull.

People are crazy and times are strange

Wealth is a filthy rag;
So erotic so unpatriotic;
So wrapped up in the American flag

I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours

I'm hungry and I'm irritable;
And I'm tired of this bag of tricks.;
At one time there was nothing wrong with me;
That you could not fix.

What looks large from a distance,;
Close up ain't never that big.

I just want you to know;
I can see through your masks

They tell me revenge is sweet and from where they stand, I'm sure it is.

Now, when I was just a bawlin' child,;
I saw what I wanted to be

I'll remember you;
At the end of the trail,;
I had so much left to do,;
I had so little time to fail.

You're gonna have to serve somebody.

Well, I try my best;
To be just like I am,;
But everybody wants you;
To be just like them.

Can't you hear that motor turnin'?;
Automobile comin' into style

Sooner or later, one of us must know;
That I really did try to get close to you

Do you know where we're headin'?;
Lincoln County Road or Armageddon?

My love she speaks like silence

people don’t live or die, people just float

I finally realize there's no room for regret

I'll see you later when I'm not so out of my head,;
Maybe next time I'll let the dead bury the dead.

Don't the moon look good, mama, Shinin' through the trees?

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.

Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take;
To find dignity

The truth was obscure, too profound and too pure, to live it you have to explode.

It's mighty funny;
the end of time has just begun

I need a steam shovel mama to keep away the dead

I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet

I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too";
He said, "You're not Him"

So take heed, take heed of the western wind

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup

When they came for Him in the garden, did they know?

I got nothing left to burn

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

At dawn my lover comes to me;
And tells me of her dreams;
With no attempts to shovel the glimpse;
Into the ditch of what each one means

God is in heaven;
And we all want what's his;
But power and greed and corruptible seed;
Seem to be all that there is

Gon' walk on down that dirt road 'til I'm right beside the sun

I see nothing to be gained by any explanation;
There are no words that need to be said

No knife could ever cut our love apart

Do I need your permission to turn the other cheek?;
If you can read my mind, why must I speak?

Pain sure brings out the best in people, doesn't it?
