As the last fire truck from hell; Goes rolling by, all good people are praying
I'm going out of my mind; With a pain that stops and starts
Our conversation was short and sweet; It nearly swept me off-a my feet.
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
to live outside the law, you must be honest
Well, the chances are against it and the odds are slim,; That he'll live by the rules that the world makes for him
My children will go, As soon as they grow.; Well, there ain't nothing here now to hold them.
Now there's spiritual warfare and flesh and blood breaking down.; Ya either got faith or ya got unbelief and there ain't no neutral ground.
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
If he needs a third eye he just grows it
Just what do you think you have to guard?
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take; To find dignity
And, when I was through; I filled up my shoe; And brought it to you.
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
Searching for my double, looking for; Complete evaporation to the core
He got an all girl orchestra and when he says; "Strike up the band," they hit it
A million faces at my feet; But all I see are dark eyes
You're the one I adore, come over here and give me more
But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency
Somethin' there is about you that I can't quite put my finger on.
Someone else is speakin' with my mouth, but I'm listening only to my heart.
Well, You've done it all and there's no more anyone can pretend to do.; What can I do for You?
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
I feel nothing for their game where beauty goes unrecognized
I'm hungry and I'm irritable; And I'm tired of this bag of tricks.; At one time there was nothing wrong with me; That you could not fix.
Here is your throat back; Thanks for the loan
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.
You can make me cry; Never say goodbye
Through the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales
I wasn't born to lose you.
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting; That's hanging in the Louvre
The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed
I just can't fit; Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
Well, I asked for something to eat; I'm hungry as a hog; So I get brown rice, seaweed; And a dirty hot dog
I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings, And I've never been too impressed.
as long as the world keeps a-turnin', I just keep a-turnin' too.
Maybe they'll get me and maybe they won't; But not tonight and it won't be here; There are things I could say but I don't; I know the mercy of God must be near
I see people in the park forgetting their troubles and woes; They're drinking and dancing, wearing bright colored clothes; All the young men with their young women looking so good; Well, I'd trade places with any of them ; In a minute, if I could
You were trying to break into another world; A world I never knew.; I always kind of wondered; If you ever made it through.
Any day now, any day now,; I shall be released.
And I, I don't mind the pain; Don't mind the driving rain; I know I will sustain; 'Cause I believe in you.
Goodnight, my love, may the lord have mercy on us all.
This wheel shall explode!
Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted
For the loser now; Will be later to win
Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain
Your loyalty is not to me; But to the stars above
Go 'way from my window,; Leave at your own chosen speed.
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.
When he died I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
We never thought we could ever get old.; We thought we could sit forever in fun
Down the highway, down the tracks, down the road to ecstasy,; I followed you beneath the stars, hounded by your memory,; And all your ragin' glory.
I must be guilty of something,; You just whisper it into my ear.
How did I meet you? I don't know.
You'd better do somethin' quick; She's your lover now.
