Silver and gold; Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties; Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
if every bone in his body was broken he would never admit it
If you're looking for assistance, babe,; Or if you just want some company; Or if you just want a friend you can talk to,; Honey, come and see about me.
don't criticize; what you can't understand.
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed
Boys in the street beginning to play; Girls like birds flying away
Senor, senor, let's disconnect these cables,; Overturn these tables.; This place don't make sense to me no more.
Go melt back into the night, babe,; Everything inside is made of stone.; There's nothing in here moving, An' anyway I'm not alone.
He looks so truthful, is this how he feels; Trying to peel the moon and expose it
Searching for my double, looking for; Complete evaporation to the core
And every time you get this close; It makes me want to scream
Won't you descend from the throne, from where you sit?
All the laughter is just making me sad
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',; But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
The truth was obscure, too profound and too pure, to live it you have to explode.
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
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.
Tell her she can look me up if she's got the time.
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
I just can't fit; Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail,; Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail,; Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn.
The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder
Any day now, any day now,; I shall be released.
Well, there's voices in the night trying to be heard; I'm sitting here listening to every mind polluting word
All I feel is heat and flame and all I see are dark eyes.
Well, I got a harmonica job, begun to play,; Blowin' my lungs out for a dollar a day.
You say my kisses are not like his,; But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is.
I can smile in the face of mankind.; Don't even remember what her lips felt like on mine; Most of the time.
Where black is the color, where none is the number
It ain't my cup of meat.
Since every pleasure's got an edge of pain; Pay for your ticket and don't complain
Saw you drift into infinity and come back again
There was music in the cafes at night; And revolution in the air.
Ever since you walked right in, the circle's been complete
What makes the wind wanna blow tonight?
If I had wings and I could fly,; I know where I would go.
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.
Well, I spied a girl and before she could leave,; "Let's go and play Adam and Eve."; I took her by the hand and my heart it was thumpin'; When she said, "Hey man, you crazy or sumpin',; You see what happened last time they started."
All I really want to do,; Is, baby, be friends with you.
And I can't let go, won't let go, and I can't let go no more.
Oh, baby, that god you been prayin' to; Is gonna give ya back what you're wishin' on someone else
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
And you, you took me in,; You loved me then; You didn't waste time.
I hear that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting; That's hanging in the Louvre
And every one of them words rang true; And glowed like burnin' coal; Pourin' off of every page; Like it was written in my soul from me to you
My heart's in the Highlands at the break of dawn; By the beautiful lake of the Black Swan; Big white clouds, like chariots that swing down low; Well my heart's in the Highlands; Only place left to go
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast;
Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last.
Won't you dance with me?; I'm fallin' in love with you.
Everything passes,; Everything changes,; Just do what you think you should do.
Was that the thunder that I heard?; My head is vibrating, I feel a sharp pain
'Cause he doesn't tell you jokes or fairy tales, say he's got no style.
Put your hand on my head, baby, do I have a temperature?
I must be guilty of something,; You just whisper it into my ear.
