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.
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
Don't know if I saw you, if I would kiss you or kill you; It probably wouldn't matter to you anyhow
Our conversation was short and sweet; It nearly swept me off-a my feet.
Insanity is smashing up against my soul; You can say I was on anything but a roll; If I had a conscience, well I just might blow my top; What would I do with it anyway ; Maybe take it to the pawn shop
You breathed on me and made my life a richer one to live,; When I was deep in poverty you taught me how to give
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
What drives me to you is what drives me insane.
For I know that you know that I know that you know; Something is tearing up your mind.
I got new eyes ; Everything looks far away
He bought me with a price,; Freed me from the pit,; Full of emptiness and wrath; And the fire that burns in it.
A million faces at my feet; But all I see are dark eyes
Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line,; Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine.
Three fellas crawlin' on their way back to work,; Nobody stops to ask why.
I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring.
I wasn't born to lose you.
Oh my name it is nothin'; My age it means less
Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder
the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
Well my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
That long black cloud is comin' down
And you, you took me in,; You loved me then; You didn't waste time.
You don't need a weather man; To know which way the wind blows
Well, you're on your own, you always were,; In a land of wolves and thieves.
Now at midnight all the agents; And the superhuman crew; Come out and round up everyone; That knows more than they do
It was then that I got up to leave; But she said, "Don't forget,; Everybody must give something back; For something they get."
People tell me it's a sin; To know and feel too much within.
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.
You're so damn nonchalant; But it's your mind that I want.
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin,; Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in.
It's all been designed, he said, "To make you lose your mind,; And when you go back to find it, there's nothing there to find."
Can you tell me what we're waiting for, senor?
Can't you hear that motor turnin'?; Automobile comin' into style
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.
Well, I don't have to be no doctor, babe,; To see that you're madly in love.
I couldn't see where we were goin'; But you said you knew an' I took your word
Son, this ain't a dream no more, it's the real thing.
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
This is the key to the kingdom and this is the town; This is the blind horse that leads you around
Give ya delusions of grandeur; And a evil eye; Give you idea that; You're too good to die
Darkness at the break of noon
My head tells me it's time to make a change; But my heart is telling me I love ya but you're strange.
Go 'way from my window,; Leave at your own chosen speed.
I'm glad to see you're still alive, you're lookin' like a saint.
You can't get to glory by the raising and the lowering of no flag.; Put your goodness next to God's and it comes out like a filthy rag.
Now the rainman gave me two cures,; Then he said, "Jump right in."; The one was Texas medicine,; The other was just railroad gin.
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,; All the pigeons gonna run to him.
Well, I asked for something to eat; I'm hungry as a hog; So I get brown rice, seaweed; And a dirty hot dog
Oh it's rush hour now; On the wheel and the plow; And the sun is going down; Upon the sacred cow.
All my friends have told me; If I hang around with you; That I'll go blind
Every time you leave and go off someplace,; Things fall to pieces in my face
It ain't my cup of meat.
There are those who worship loneliness, I'm not one of them
Ring them bells, for the time that flies,; For the child that cries; When innocence dies.
Ever since you walked right in, the circle's been complete
I see people who are supposed to know better standin' around like furniture.
I've been walking through the middle of nowhere; Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
You think you can hide but you're never alone,; Ask Lot what he thought when his wife turned to stone.
The party's over, and there's less and less to say
