as long as the world keeps a-turnin', I just keep a-turnin' too.
Praise be to Nero's Neptune; The Titanic sails at dawn; And everybody's shouting; Which Side Are You On?
I believe in the impossible, you know that I do
You say my kisses are not like his,; But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is.
The vagabond who's rapping at your door; Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
And now the heart is filled with gold; As if it was a purse.; But, oh, what kind of love is this; Which goes from bad to worse?
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
Gonna sleep down in the parlor; And relive my dreams
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting; That's hanging in the Louvre
But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency,; All non-believers and men stealers talkin' in the name of religion
I'll remember you; When the wind blows through the piney wood.
Well, I spied a girl and before she could leave,; "Let's go and play Adam and Eve."; I took her by the hand and my heart it was thumpin'; When she said, "Hey man, you crazy or sumpin',; You see what happened last time they started."
Well my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
You could make me cry if you don't know.
Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties; Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
Whatever you wanted; Slipped out of my mind
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
Everybody must get stoned.
She once was a true love of mine
Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that it passes through
time is running backwards
In order to deal in this game, got to make the queen disappear,; It's done with a flick of the wrist.
He bought me with a price,; Freed me from the pit,; Full of emptiness and wrath; And the fire that burns in it.
I'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to me
Put your body next to mine; And keep me company,; There is plenty a room for all,; So please don't elbow me.
Junk is piling up, taking up space
And you, you took me in,; You loved me then; You didn't waste time.
You cast your spell and I went under,; I find it so difficult to leave.
I'm going back to New York City; I do believe I've had enough
You should be made; To wear earphones
When you think that you lost everything; You find out you can always lose a little more
Then she says, "I know you're an artist, draw a picture of me!"; I say, "I would if I could, but, ; I don't do sketches from memory."
No time to suffer or blink; And no time to think
Talk about perfection, I ain't never seen none
When he died I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious
You were snow, you were rain; You were striped, you were plain,;
She's a hypnotist collector
A saxophone someplace far off played
Turn your back, wash your hands,; There's always someone who understands
I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings, And I've never been too impressed.
They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table.
If I had wings and I could fly,; I know where I would go.
Nations are angry, cursed are some,; People are expecting a false peace to come.
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.
It's for myself and my friends my stories are sung.
I got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles,; I think maybe we'd better leave each other alone.
Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer; It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.
Oh, but if I had the stars from the darkest night,; And the diamonds from the deepest ocean,; I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss,; For that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'.
Now, don't crowd me, lady; Or I'll fill up your shoe
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
Always on the outside of whatever side there was,; When they asked him why it had to be that way, "Well," he answered, "just because."
Oh, man has invented his doom, First step was touching the moon.
Lost time is not found again
He got an all girl orchestra and when he says; "Strike up the band," they hit it
You don't want a love that's pure; You wanna drown love; You want a watered-down love
People are crazy and times are strange
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
My love she speaks like silence
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past; I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
