Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
Someone else is speakin' with my mouth, but I'm listening only to my heart.
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.
Try to be pure at heart, they arrest you for robbery,;
Mistake your shyness for aloofness, your shyness for snobbery
May you build a ladder to the stars;
And climb on every rung.
Last night I danced with a stranger;
But she just reminded me you were the one
If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry,;
What good am I?
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
It was then that I got up to leave;
But she said, "Don't forget,;
Everybody must give something back;
For something they get."
With haunted hearts through the heat and cold
We never thought we could ever get old
You were trying to break into another world;
A world I never knew.;
I always kind of wondered;
If you ever made it through.
Well, I got a harmonica job, begun to play,;
Blowin' my lungs out for a dollar a day.
Pardon, monsieur," the desk clerk says,;
Carefully removes his fez,;
"Am I hearin' you right?"
Today on the countryside it was a-hotter than a crotch
I've paid the price of solitude, but at last I'm out of debt.
I was all right 'til I fell in love with you
Somebody's got to find your trail,;
I guess it must be up to me.
A million faces at my feet;
But all I see are dark eyes
The treasure can't be found by men who search
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
You speak to me;
In sign language;
As I'm eating a sandwich
People are crazy and times are strange
Have I surrendered to the will of God;
Or am I still acting like the boss?
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed,;
Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features.
'Cause he doesn't tell you jokes or fairy tales, say he's got no style.
Since every pleasure's got an edge of pain;
Pay for your ticket and don't complain
