All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
I got a poison headache,;
But I feel all right
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.
He bought me with a price,;
Freed me from the pit,;
Full of emptiness and wrath;
And the fire that burns in it.
Whatever you gonna do,;
Please do it fast.
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
I hate myself for lovin' you and the weakness that it showed;
You were just a painted face on a trip down Suicide Road
In the home of the brave, Jefferson turnin' over in his grave
Well, if I had to do it all over again,;
Babe, I'd do it all over you.
They tell me revenge is sweet and from where they stand, I'm sure it is.
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
Can't you make any sound?
Reality has always had too many heads
Now there's spiritual warfare and flesh and blood breaking down.;
Ya either got faith or ya got unbelief and there ain't no neutral ground.
Thought I'd shaken the wonder and the phantoms of my youth
Wallflower, wallflower;
Take a chance on me.;
Please let me ride you home.
A saxophone someplace far off played
But does anyone hear the music they play
Does anyone even try?
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.
When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things that remain?
Ain't complaining 'bout what I got;
Seen better times, but who has not?
It's many a guard;
That stands around smilin',;
Holdin' his club;
Like he was a king.
Betrayed by a kiss on a cool night of bliss;
In the valley of the missing link
He looks so truthful, is this how he feels;
Trying to peel the moon and expose it
I'd never say;
That I done it the way;
That you'd have liked me to.
Gonna sleep down in the parlor;
And relive my dreams
I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch.
Get the loot, don't be slow, we're gonna catch a trout
Your magnetic movements;
Still capture the minutes I'm in.
Love is so simple, to quote a phrase,;
You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days.
