I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind; You could have done better but I don't mind; You just kinda wasted my precious time
Well, you're so bad and nasty; But I love you, yes I do
Well it's way past midnight and there are people all around; Some on their way up, some on their way down
What drives me to you is what drives me insane.
They tell me everything is gonna be all right; But I don't know what "all right" even means
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.
Boys in the street beginning to play; Girls like birds flying away
We always did feel the same,; We just saw it from a different point of view
You were snow, you were rain; You were striped, you were plain,;
Wealth is a filthy rag; So erotic so unpatriotic; So wrapped up in the American flag
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,; And the dust of rumors covers me.
Don't the moon look good, mama, Shinin' through the trees?
What happened to the real you, you've been captured but by whom?
When we meet again; Introduced as friends; Please don't let on that you knew me when; I was hungry and it was your world.
Ain't complaining 'bout what I got; Seen better times, but who has not?
Was that the thunder that I heard?; My head is vibrating, I feel a sharp pain
Oh what dear daughter 'neath the sun; Would treat a father so,; To wait upon him hand and foot; And always tell him, "No"?
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
I believe in the impossible, you know that I do
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
My love she speaks like silence
You're gonna have to serve somebody.
Gon' walk on down that dirt road 'til I'm right beside the sun
When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things that remain?
You have explained every mystery.; What can I do for You?
And they're breaking down the distance; Between right and wrong.
If there's a poor boy on the street,; Then let him have my seat; 'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
Last night I danced with a stranger; But she just reminded me you were the one
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,; Should I leave them by your gate,; Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down
Now you stand here expectin' me to remember somethin' you forgot to say
Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that it passes through
Guess it's too late to say the things to you; That you needed to hear me say.
May you always know the truth; And see the lights surrounding you.
Cities on fire, phones out of order
How can I explain?; Oh, it's so hard to get on
The angels play on their horns all day,; The whole earth in progression seems to pass by.; But does anyone hear the music they play,; Does anyone even try?
And you never ask questions; When God's on your side.
All I really want to do,; Is, baby, be friends with you.
My feet are so tired, my brain is so wired
You're so damn nonchalant; But it's your mind that I want.
Try to be pure at heart, they arrest you for robbery,; Mistake your shyness for aloofness, your shyness for snobbery
I got new eyes ; Everything looks far away
Are you looking at me and thinking of somebody else?
When He rose from the dead, did they believe?
I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea; Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me.
Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed
All the laughter is just making me sad
Senor, senor, let's disconnect these cables,; Overturn these tables.; This place don't make sense to me no more.
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.
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.
Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood.; He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good.
Those are the hills of hell-fire my love; Where you and I will unite
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
I hear that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
What was it you wanted; When you were kissing my check?
Love is so simple, to quote a phrase,; You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days.
