Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory
It's so impossible to even learn the tune.
Are you still my friend, baby, show me a sign
Here is your throat back;
Thanks for the loan
Someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody
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.
Silver and gold;
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
The country music station plays soft;
but there's nothing, really nothing, to turn off
Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that it passes through
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours
A saxophone someplace far off played
You should be made;
To wear earphones
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take;
To find dignity
Lot of water under the bridge, Lot of other stuff too;
Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through
Wealth is a filthy rag;
So erotic so unpatriotic;
So wrapped up in the American flag
Now, a very great man once said;
That some people rob you with a fountain pen.;
It didn't take too long to find out;
Just what he was talkin' about.
But does anyone hear the music they play
Does anyone even try?
Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love.
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
You will search, babe, At any cost.;
But how long, babe, Can you search for what's not lost?
Temptation's not an easy thing
Now the moon is almost hidden;
The stars are beginning to hide;
The fortunetelling lady;
Has even taken all her things inside
You'd better do somethin' quick;
She's your lover now.
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
While my conscience explodes;
The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
I've already ripped out the phones, honey.;
You can't walk the streets in a war
Look into infinity, all you see is trouble.
What good am I if I know and don't do,;
I If I see and don't say, if I look right through you
Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand,;
And rivers that ran through ev'ry day.
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
