I been hangin’ on threads
I been playin’ it straight
Now, I’ve just got to cut loose
Before it gets late
Now you stand here expectin' me to remember somethin' you forgot to say
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke,; How long must I suffer, Lord, how long must I be provoked?; Satan will give you a little taste, then he'll move in with rapid speed,; Lord keep my blind side covered and see that I don't bleed.
Well, it's always been my nature to take chances; My right hand drawing back while my left hand advances
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin,; Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in.
Wallflower, wallflower; Take a chance on me.; Please let me ride you home.
If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise, remind me to show you the, scars.
My conscience is beginning to bother me today.
Yes, I see you on your window ledge; But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge
People on the platforms; Waiting for the trains; I can hear their hearts a-beatin'; Like pendulums swinging on chains
Oh it's rush hour now; On the wheel and the plow; And the sun is going down; Upon the sacred cow.
In the home of the brave
Jefferson turnin’ over in his grave
Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted
Well it's way past midnight and there are people all around; Some on their way up, some on their way down
People tell me it's a sin; To know and feel too much within.
They like to take all this money from sin, build big universities to study in; Sing Amazing Grace all the way to the Swiss banks
My love she speaks like silence
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
The pump don't work; 'Cause the vandals took the handles
Son, this ain't a dream no more, it's the real thing.
Have you got some unfinished business?; Is there something holding you back?; Are you thinking for yourself; Or are you following the pack?
Don't trust me to show you beauty; When beauty may only turn to rust.
Do I need your permission to turn the other cheek?; If you can read my mind, why must I speak?
I wish that for just one time; You could stand inside my shoes; You'd know what a drag it is; To see you
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss.
Ring them bells, for the time that flies,; For the child that cries; When innocence dies.
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
Are you looking at me and thinking of somebody else?
Oh the fishes will laugh; As they swim out of the path; And the seagulls they'll be smiling.
I'm goin' down to Tennessee,; Get me a truck 'r somethin'.; Gonna save my money and rip it up!
I'll give you more gold; Than your apron can hold; If you'll only let your hair hang low
Tough Mama; Can I blow a little smoke on you?
Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial
The sky is erupting, I must go where it's quiet.
I must admit I felt a little uneasy; When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
I'm listening to Neil Young, I gotta turn up the sound; Someone's always yelling turn it down
You'd better do somethin' quick; She's your lover now.
But is your heart made out of stone, or is it lime; Or is it just solid rock?
She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe; "I thought you'd never say hello," she said; "You look like the silent type."
Someone else is speakin' with my mouth, but I'm listening only to my heart.
Well, the chances are against it and the odds are slim,; That he'll live by the rules that the world makes for him
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
Where black is the color, where none is the number
Those are the hill of heaven, my love; You and I'll never know
Gon' walk on down until I'm right beside the sun; I'm gonna have to put up a barrier to keep myself away from everyone.
Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love.
Don't trust me to show you love; When my love may be only lust.
In the home of the brave, Jefferson turnin' over in his grave
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
Well, You've done it all and there's no more anyone can pretend to do.; What can I do for You?
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'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.
I thought somehow that I would be spared this fate
Get the loot, don't be slow, we're gonna catch a trout
In the fury of the moment I can see the Master's hand; In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand.
The way is long but the end is near, Already the fiesta has begun
