Gon' walk on down that dirt road 'til I'm right beside the sun
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand,; And rivers that ran through ev'ry day.
Look into infinity, all you see is trouble.
For the loser now; Will be later to win
Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
The pump don't work; 'Cause the vandals took the handles
I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech
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?
Everybody's wearing a disguise; To hide what they've got left behind their eyes
Here is your throat back; Thanks for the loan
I finally realize there's no room for regret
Maybe they'll get me and maybe they won't; But not tonight and it won't be here; There are things I could say but I don't; I know the mercy of God must be near
Wallflower, wallflower; Take a chance on me.; Please let me ride you home.
The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed
They got him on conspiracy, they were never sure who with.
I know all about poison, I know all about fiery darts,; I don't care how rough the road is, show me where it starts,; Whatever pleases You, tell it to my heart.
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation; There are no words that need to be said
If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise, remind me to show you the, scars.
Democracy don't rule the world,; You'd better get that in your head.; This world is ruled by violence; But I guess that's better left unsaid.
When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things that remain?
Senor, senor, let's disconnect these cables,; Overturn these tables.; This place don't make sense to me no more.
I can't provide for you no easy answers,; Who are you that I should have to lie?
Nobody feels any pain
People disagreeing on all just about everything, yeah,; Makes you stop and all wonder why.
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
People tell me it's a sin; To know and feel too much within.
My head tells me it's time to make a change; But my heart is telling me I love ya but you're strange.
Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties; Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
I got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles,; I think maybe we'd better leave each other alone.
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.
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously; But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
Well it's way past midnight and there are people all around; Some on their way up, some on their way down
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
I gotta go; Find out something only dead men know
The sky is trembling, And I must leave.
I wish that for just one time; You could stand inside my shoes; You'd know what a drag it is; To see you
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
Not one more night, not one more kiss,; Not this time baby, no more of this,; Takes too much skill, takes too much will,; It's revealing.
Don't you cry and don't you die and don't you burn
Well, I asked for something to eat; I'm hungry as a hog; So I get brown rice, seaweed; And a dirty hot dog
Yesterday everything was going too fast; Today, it's moving too slow
Build a fire, throw on logs; And listen to it hiss; And let it burn, burn, burn, burn; On a night like this.
I see, I see lovers in the meadow; I see, I see silhouettes in the window; I watch them 'til they're gone and they leave me hanging on ; To a shadow
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
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore; You may not see me tomorrow.
I can tell you fancy, I can tell you plain; You give something up for everything you gain
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.
Oh, the only decent thing I did when I worked as a postal clerk; Was to haul your picture down off the wall near the cage where I used to work.; Was I a fool or not to try to protect your identity?; You looked a little burned out, my friend,; I thought it might be up to me.
I can't help it if I'm lucky.
My conscience is beginning to bother me today.
Can't you make any sound?
Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial
Now the rainman gave me two cures,; Then he said, "Jump right in."; The one was Texas medicine,; The other was just railroad gin.
Oh the fishes will laugh; As they swim out of the path; And the seagulls they'll be smiling.
Whatever you gonna do,; Please do it fast.
Won't you dance with me?; I'm fallin' in love with you.
