Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore;
You may not see me tomorrow.
the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
They say ev'rything can be replaced
Love is so simple, to quote a phrase,;
You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days.
Whatever you wanted;
Slipped out of my mind
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
But does anyone hear the music they play
Does anyone even try?
I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too";
He said, "You're not Him"
She's a hypnotist collector
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
You know, the streets are filled with vipers;
Who've lost all ray of hope,;
You know, it ain't even safe no more;
In the palace of the Pope.
You could ride like Annie Oakley,;
You could shoot like Belle Starr.
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,;
That we could sit simply in that room again.
Trees that've stood for a thousand years suddenly will fall.
Do you know where we're headin'?;
Lincoln County Road or Armageddon?
I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies;
I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
It's many a guard;
That stands around smilin',;
Holdin' his club;
Like he was a king.
What kind of sign they need when it all come from within
The door has closed forevermore
If indeed there ever was a door
Praise be to Nero's Neptune;
The Titanic sails at dawn;
And everybody's shouting;
Which Side Are You On?
Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line,;
Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine.
your pleasure knows no limits
Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed
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."
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
Run your fingers down my spine;
Bring me a touch of bliss
Most of the time;
I can't even be sure;
If she was ever with me;
Or if I was with her.
Yes, I see you on your window ledge;
But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.
I been hangin’ on threads
I been playin’ it straight
Now, I’ve just got to cut loose
Before it gets late
