Insanity is smashing up against my soul; You can say I was on anything but a roll; If I had a conscience, well I just might blow my top; What would I do with it anyway ; Maybe take it to the pawn shop
I wouldn't be ashamed to be seen with you anywhere.
Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift
And you never ask questions; When God's on your side.
She said, "Be easy, baby,; There ain't nothin' worth stealin' in here."
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
I can't provide for you no easy answers,; Who are you that I should have to lie?
I'm glad to see you're still alive, you're lookin' like a saint.
Some things last longer than you think they will; There are some kind of things you can never kill
All I feel is heat and flame and all I see are dark eyes.
Well, You've done it all and there's no more anyone can pretend to do.; What can I do for You?
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting; That's hanging in the Louvre
Don't you cry and don't you die and don't you burn
I could say that I'd be faithful, I could say it in one sweet, easy breath; But to you that would be cruelty and to me it surely would be death.
Wealth is a filthy rag; So erotic so unpatriotic; So wrapped up in the American flag
Now, when I was just a bawlin' child,; I saw what I wanted to be
Too many thoughts get in the way in the day
There was music in the cafes at night; And revolution in the air.
If you're a doctor, I need a shot of love.
We heard the Sermon on the Mount and I knew it was too complex,; It didn't amount to anything more than what the broken glass reflects.
I gotta go; Find out something only dead men know
My love she speaks like silence
One of these days and it won't be long; Going down in the valley and sing my song; I will sing it loud and sing it strong; Let the echo decide if I was right or wrong
You're the one I adore, come over here and give me more
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,; Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,; With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,; Let me forget about today until tomorrow.
I need a steam shovel mama to keep away the dead
All my friends have told me; If I hang around with you; That I'll go blind
I look into the eyes of my merciful friend
And then I ask myself, is this the end?
Memories linger, sad yet sweet
And I think of the souls in heaven who will meet
Oh my name it is nothin'; My age it means less
And every time you get this close; It makes me want to scream
Those are the hills of hell-fire my love; Where you and I will unite
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
No time to suffer or blink; And no time to think
May you have a strong foundation; When the winds of changes shift
Our conversation was short and sweet; It nearly swept me off-a my feet.
A million faces at my feet; But all I see are dark eyes
there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden
Now at midnight all the agents; And the superhuman crew; Come out and round up everyone; That knows more than they do
time is running backwards
And they're breaking down the distance; Between right and wrong.
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.
Yes, I know now, traps are only set by me; And I do not really need to be; Assured that love is just a four-letter word
Shall I hold you close?; Or Shall I let you go by?; Tell me.; Tell me.
Where black is the color, where none is the number
Done so many evil things in the name of love, it's a crying shame; I never did see no fire that could put out a flame.
Won't you dance with me?; I'm fallin' in love with you.
But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,; And the dust of rumors covers me.
They say you're usin' voodoo, I seen your feet walk by themselves
You should be made; To wear earphones
Put your body next to mine; And keep me company,; There is plenty a room for all,; So please don't elbow me.
If the bible is right, the world will explode
They tell me revenge is sweet and from where they stand, I'm sure it is.
She knows where I'd like to be; But it doesn't matter.
