We never thought we could ever get old.; We thought we could sit forever in fun
All I feel is heat and flame and all I see are dark eyes.
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
Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory
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?
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
Oh, ev'ry thought that's strung a knot in my mind,; I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung.
Ever since you walked right in, the circle's been complete
The world of illusion is at my door
Wealth is a filthy rag; So erotic so unpatriotic; So wrapped up in the American flag
It's for myself and my friends my stories are sung.
I don't wanna be hers, I wanna be yours.
I'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to me
All the tired horses in the sun; How'm I supposed to get any ridin' done? Hmm.
Get the loot, don't be slow, we're gonna catch a trout
You're gonna have to serve somebody.
Our conversation was short and sweet; It nearly swept me off-a my feet.
Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial
Are you looking at me and thinking of somebody else?
Don't trust me to show you love; When my love may be only lust.
When I'm all alone; In the great unknown,; I'll remember you.
I can't provide for you no easy answers,; Who are you that I should have to lie?
I believe in the impossible, you know that I do
You can pound on the President's gate; But you oughta know by now it's gonna be too late.
I like the cool way you look at me,; Everything about you is bringing me; Misery.
How did I meet you? I don't know.
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past; I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
Just do your thing, you'll be king; If dogs run free.
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
Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy
So long, New York.; Howdy, East Orange.
The treasure can't be found by men who search
They don't want me around; 'Cause I believe in you.
Betrayed by a kiss on a cool night of bliss; In the valley of the missing link
He got an all girl orchestra and when he says; "Strike up the band," they hit it
Talk about perfection, I ain't never seen none
Time passes slowly when you're lost in a dream.
Those are the hill of heaven, my love; You and I'll never know
Ain't complaining 'bout what I got; Seen better times, but who has not?
Tell ev'rybody; Down in ol' 'Frisco; That Tiny Montgomery's comin'; Down to say Hello
If you want to live easy
Baby pack your clothes with mine
Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties; Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
Never could learn to drink that blood; And call it wine
I just can't fit; Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
Pain sure brings out the best in people, doesn't it?
Gonna take dancing lessons do the jitterbug rag; Ain't no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag; Only a fool in here would think he's got anything to prove
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
Oh it's rush hour now; On the wheel and the plow; And the sun is going down; Upon the sacred cow.
He looks so truthful, is this how he feels; Trying to peel the moon and expose it
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'm goin' down to Tennessee,; Get me a truck 'r somethin'.; Gonna save my money and rip it up!
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings, And I've never been too impressed.
You think you can hide but you're never alone,; Ask Lot what he thought when his wife turned to stone.
Am I no longer a part of your plans or your dreams?
And you, you took me in,; You loved me then; You didn't waste time.
