What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this?
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
I feel nothing for their game where beauty goes unrecognized
I don't need no alibi when I'm spending time with you.; I've heard all of them rumors and you have heard 'em too.
In the home of the brave, Jefferson turnin' over in his grave
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
Your mind is your temple, keep it beautiful and free,; Don't let an egg get laid in it by something you can't see.
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.
Time passes slowly when you're lost in a dream.
Whatever you wanted; Slipped out of my mind
I thought somehow that I would be spared this fate
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation; There are no words that need to be said
They used to grow food in Kansas; Now they want to grow it on the moon and eat it raw.; I can see the day coming when even your home garden; Is gonna be against the law.
Everybody's wearing a disguise; To hide what they've got left behind their eyes
For I know that you know that I know that you know; Something is tearing up your mind.
Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,; Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
Oh, ev'ry thought that's strung a knot in my mind,; I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung.
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
I got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles,; I think maybe we'd better leave each other alone.
I still can remember the way that you smiled
If you're lookin' to get silly; You better go back to from where you came
Ain't no reason to go anywhere.
On the rising curve,; Where the ways of nature will test every nerve,; You won't get anything you don't deserve,; Where we were born in time.
I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch.
I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.
I just want you to know; I can see through your masks
Well, I got a harmonica job, begun to play,; Blowin' my lungs out for a dollar a day.
But I will be back, I will survive,; You'll never get rid of me as long as you're alive.
Whatever you gonna do,; Please do it fast.
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.
How does it feel
When you know as well as me; You'd rather see me paralyzed
Well, the chances are against it and the odds are slim,; That he'll live by the rules that the world makes for him
Well my nerves are exploding and my body's tense; I feel like the whole world got me pinned up against the fence
You say my kisses are not like his,; But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is.
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
Heart of mine be still,; You can play with fire, But you'll get the bill
Put your body next to mine; And keep me company,; There is plenty a room for all,; So please don't elbow me.
Well, you're so bad and nasty; But I love you, yes I do
I see people who are supposed to know better standin' around like furniture.
All the laughter is just making me sad
The drinks are ready and the dogs are going to war
Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love.
The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder
Everybody's doin' something,; I heard it in a dream,; But when there's too much of nothing,; It just makes a fella mean.
You know, the streets are filled with vipers; Who've lost all ray of hope,; You know, it ain't even safe no more; In the palace of the Pope.
Some things are too hot to touch; The human mind can only stand so much
I'm in the streets; With the tombstone blues
Give me a string bean, I'm a hungry man.
Give ya delusions of grandeur; And a evil eye; Give you idea that; You're too good to die
You think you can hide but you're never alone,; Ask Lot what he thought when his wife turned to stone.
She's a hypnotist collector
Our conversation was short and sweet; It nearly swept me off-a my feet.
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells; I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast;
Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last.
We're both just one too many mornings; An' a thousand miles behind.
