You'd better do somethin' quick;
She's your lover now.
Here is your throat back;
Thanks for the loan
Every brain is civilized,;
Every nerve is analyzed,;
Everything is criticized when you are in need.
Those are the hills of hell-fire my love;
Where you and I will unite
Have I surrendered to the will of God;
Or am I still acting like the boss?
The world of illusion is at my door
I'll give you more gold;
Than your apron can hold;
If you'll only let your hair hang low
Guess it's too late to say the things to you;
That you needed to hear me say.
We're idiots, babe.;
It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves.
All I feel is heat and flame and all I see are dark eyes.
Love is so simple, to quote a phrase,;
You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days.
if there's an original thought out there, I could use it right now
take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind
I am hanging in the balance, of the reality of man;
like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand
Always on the outside of whatever side there was,;
When they asked him why it had to be that way, "Well," he answered, "just because."
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation;
There are no words that need to be said
Did I miss the mark or;
Over-step the line;
That only you could see?
What happened to the real you, you've been captured but by whom?
Well, if I had to do it all over again,;
Babe, I'd do it all over you.
Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift
time is running backwards
Then she says, "I know you're an artist, draw a picture of me!";
I say, "I would if I could, but, ;
I don't do sketches from memory."
'Cause he doesn't tell you jokes or fairy tales, say he's got no style.
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden
People ask about you;
I didn't tell them everything I knew
Gon' walk on down until I'm right beside the sun;
I'm gonna have to put up a barrier to keep myself away from everyone.
Put my tears in a bottle
Screw the top on tight
Seen the arrow on the doorpost;
Saying, "This land is condemned;
All the way from New Orleans;
To Jerusalem."
