Yes, I know now, traps are only set by me; And I do not really need to be; Assured that love is just a four-letter word
There's always some new stranger sneakin' glances,; Some trigger-happy fool willin' to take chances
In the fury of the moment I can see the Master's hand; In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand.
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.
Here is your throat back; Thanks for the loan
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously; But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
Don't know if I saw you, if I would kiss you or kill you; It probably wouldn't matter to you anyhow
Wealth is a filthy rag; So erotic so unpatriotic; So wrapped up in the American flag
Some things last longer than you think they will; There are some kind of things you can never kill
All the laughter is just making me sad
Talk about perfection, I ain't never seen none
As the last fire truck from hell; Goes rolling by, all good people are praying
What happened to the real you, you've been captured but by whom?
I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings, And I've never been too impressed.
How does it feel
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
She said, "Be easy, baby,; There ain't nothin' worth stealin' in here."
she's true, like ice, like fire
You were snow, you were rain; You were striped, you were plain,;
She says, "What'll it be?"; I say, "I don't know, you got any soft boiled eggs?"
The way is long but the end is near, Already the fiesta has begun
We grew up together; From the cradle to the grave; We died and were reborn; And then mysteriously saved.
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."
Won't you come with me, baby?; I'll take you where you wanna go.; And if it don't work out, You'll be the first to know
Well, he can be fascinating, he can be dull,; He can ride down Niagara Falls in the barrels of your skull.
Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain
Lay down your weary tune, lay down,; Lay down the song you strum,; And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings; No voice can hope to hum.
The drinks are ready and the dogs are going to war
They say you're usin' voodoo, I seen your feet walk by themselves
When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things that remain?
With haunted hearts through the heat and cold
We never thought we could ever get old
In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection
Well it's way past midnight and there are people all around; Some on their way up, some on their way down
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take; To find dignity
I'm walking through streets that are dead
But does anyone hear the music they play
Does anyone even try?
You got a lotta nerve; To say you are my friend
Time passes slowly when you're lost in a dream.
When I'm all alone; In the great unknown,; I'll remember you.
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'.
Goodnight, my love, may the lord have mercy on us all.
Rock me, pretty baby, rock me 'til everything gets real; Rock me for a little while, rock me 'til there's nothing left to feel; And I'll rock you too
Everybody's doin' something,; I heard it in a dream,; But when there's too much of nothing,; It just makes a fella mean.
I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
Well, if I had to do it all over again,; Babe, I'd do it all over you.
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.
There's some people that; You don't forget,; Even though you've only seen'm; One time or two.
I must be guilty of something,; You just whisper it into my ear.
Trees that've stood for a thousand years suddenly will fall.
In the day of confession; We cannot mock a soul.; Oh, when there's too much of nothing,; No one has control.
When you know as well as me; You'd rather see me paralyzed
They tell me revenge is sweet and from where they stand, I'm sure it is.
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past; I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
Shall I hold you close?; Or Shall I let you go by?; Tell me.; Tell me.
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore; You may not see me tomorrow.
But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency
Have you got some unfinished business?; Is there something holding you back?; Are you thinking for yourself; Or are you following the pack?
You know, news of you has come down the line; Even before ya came in the door.; They say in your father's house, there's many mansions; Each one of them got a fireproof floor.
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
