In the home of the brave
Jefferson turnin’ over in his grave
If the bible is right, the world will explode
Your loyalty is not to me; But to the stars above
She still lives inside of me, we've never been apart.
I'm glad to see you're still alive, you're lookin' like a saint.
I'm T-boned and punctured; But I'm known to be calm
Well, it's always been my nature to take chances; My right hand drawing back while my left hand advances
You will search, babe, At any cost.; But how long, babe, Can you search for what's not lost?
I feel nothing for their game where beauty goes unrecognized
Well, the road is rocky and the hillside's mud; Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood
I'll see you later when I'm not so out of my head,; Maybe next time I'll let the dead bury the dead.
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.
The world of illusion is at my door
The man in me will hide sometimes to keep from bein' seen,; But that's just because he doesn't want to turn into some machine.
You breathed on me and made my life a richer one to live,; When I was deep in poverty you taught me how to give
Now, when I was just a bawlin' child,; I saw what I wanted to be
When they came for Him in the garden, did they know?
Pardon, monsieur," the desk clerk says,; Carefully removes his fez,; "Am I hearin' you right?"
if there's an original thought out there, I could use it right now
In the day of confession; We cannot mock a soul.; Oh, when there's too much of nothing,; No one has control.
Wealth is a filthy rag; So erotic so unpatriotic; So wrapped up in the American flag
The night is pitch black, come an' make my; Pale face fit into place, ah, please!
Will I ever learn that there'll be no peace, that the war won't cease; Until He returns?
All I really want to do,; Is, baby, be friends with you.
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
For all eternity I think I will remember; That icy wind that's howling in your eye.
I must be guilty of something,; You just whisper it into my ear.
What drives me to you is what drives me insane.
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.
How did I meet you? I don't know.
Gonna sleep down in the parlor; And relive my dreams
Yesterday everything was going too fast; Today, it's moving too slow
Wallflower, wallflower; Take a chance on me.; Please let me ride you home.
My so-called friends have fallen under a spell.; They look me squarely in the eye and they say, "All is well."; Can they imagine the darkness that will fall from on high; When men will beg God to kill them and they won't be able to die?
I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech
In the hills of mystery,; In the foggy web of destiny,; You can have what's left of me,; Where we were born in time.
I got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles,; I think maybe we'd better leave each other alone.
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
There's only one step down from here, baby,; It's called the land of permanent bliss.
I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies; I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
You say you love me; And you're thinkin' of me,; But you know you could be wrong.
Those are the hills of hell-fire my love; Where you and I will unite
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.
And I, I don't mind the pain; Don't mind the driving rain; I know I will sustain; 'Cause I believe in you.
You'd better do somethin' quick; She's your lover now.
Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift
He said his name was Columbus; I just said, "Good luck."
Guess it's too late to say the things to you; That you needed to hear me say.
I like the cool way you look at me,; Everything about you is bringing me; Misery.
If you're lookin' to get silly; You better go back to from where you came
Put your body next to mine; And keep me company,; There is plenty a room for all,; So please don't elbow me.
Son, this ain't a dream no more, it's the real thing.
Well, they're not showing any lights tonight; And there's no moon.
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss.
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.
This is the key to the kingdom and this is the town; This is the blind horse that leads you around
May you build a ladder to the stars; And climb on every rung.
