I don't know why I love her but I just can't stop
The sun's not yellow it's chicken
Thought I'd shaken the wonder and the phantoms of my youth
Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line,;
Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine.
Won't you descend from the throne, from where you sit?
For all eternity I think I will remember;
That icy wind that's howling in your eye.
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation;
There are no words that need to be said
It's so impossible to even learn the tune.
And then you told me later, as I apologized;
That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
I got nothing left to burn
it is not he or she or them or it;
That you belong to.
Don't follow leaders;
Watch the parkin' meters
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
The sky is erupting, I must go where it's quiet.
Run your fingers down my spine;
Bring me a touch of bliss
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.
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
Well, I try my best;
To be just like I am,;
But everybody wants you;
To be just like them.
And you never ask questions;
When God's on your side.
I can't help it if I'm lucky.
What was it you wanted;
When you were kissing my check?
Gonna sleep down in the parlor;
And relive my dreams
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
if every bone in his body was broken he would never admit it
I been hangin’ on threads
I been playin’ it straight
Now, I’ve just got to cut loose
Before it gets late
People tell me it's a sin;
To know and feel too much within.
Don't trust me to show you the truth;
When the truth may only be ashes and dust.
I just can't fit;
Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
Does she know I still care?
There are those who worship loneliness, I'm not one of them
There's only one step down from here, baby,;
It's called the land of permanent bliss.
Oh the fishes will laugh;
As they swim out of the path;
And the seagulls they'll be smiling.
Has the record been breaking,;
Did the needle just skip
People carry roses
Make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her
Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love.
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.
I was in your presence for an hour or so;
Or was it a day? I truly don't know.
When there is no more,;
You cut to the core;
Quicker than anyone I knew.
That's how it is when things disintegrate
Handy dandy, he got a basket of flowers and a bag full or sorrow
I can tell you fancy, I can tell you plain;
You give something up for everything you gain
The party's over, and there's less and less to say
I hear that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.
People are crazy and times are strange
Well my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
The way is long but the end is near, Already the fiesta has begun
I'm walking through streets that are dead
I couldn't see where we were goin';
But you said you knew an' I took your word
I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.
Since every pleasure's got an edge of pain;
Pay for your ticket and don't complain
Can't you make any sound?
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.
It's all been designed, he said, "To make you lose your mind,;
And when you go back to find it, there's nothing there to find."
You know, the streets are filled with vipers;
Who've lost all ray of hope,;
You know, it ain't even safe no more;
In the palace of the Pope.
Without freedom of speech, I might be in the swamp.
We pointed out the way to go;
And scratched your name in sand,;
Though you just thought it was nothing more;
Than a place for you to stand.
I don't need no alibi when I'm spending time with you.;
I've heard all of them rumors and you have heard 'em too.
she's true, like ice, like fire
