Those are the hills of hell-fire my love; Where you and I will unite
He said his name was Columbus; I just said, "Good luck."
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down
Oh, the only decent thing I did when I worked as a postal clerk; Was to haul your picture down off the wall near the cage where I used to work.; Was I a fool or not to try to protect your identity?; You looked a little burned out, my friend,; I thought it might be up to me.
I got nothing left to burn
Well my house is on fire, burning to the sky
They tell me everything is gonna be all right; But I don't know what "all right" even means
I don't want to fake you out
I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.
If this is love then gimme more; And more and more and more and more.
There's some people that; You don't forget,; Even though you've only seen'm; One time or two.

I just want you to know; I can see through your masks
Louise, she's all right, she's just near; She's delicate and seems like the mirror; But she just makes it all too concise and too clear; That Johanna's not here
Darkness at the break of noon
Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,; Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
What happened to the real you, you've been captured but by whom?
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
Don't the moon look good, mama, Shinin' through the trees?
I got new eyes ; Everything looks far away
The walls of pride are high and wide; Can't see over to the other side; It's such a sad thing to see beauty decay; It's sadder still, to feel your heart torn away
Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer; It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.
Did I miss the mark or; Over-step the line; That only you could see?
How can I explain?; Oh, it's so hard to get on
But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency,; All non-believers and men stealers talkin' in the name of religion
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
An' here I sit so patiently; Waiting to find out what price; You have to pay to get out of; Going through all these things twice.
Somethin' there is about you that I can't quite put my finger on.
Wealth is a filthy rag; So erotic so unpatriotic; So wrapped up in the American flag
Goodnight, my love, may the lord have mercy on us all.
Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain
They say ev'rything can be replaced
I wouldn't be ashamed to be seen with you anywhere.
Love is so simple, to quote a phrase,; You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days.
I can't help it if I'm lucky.
I know all about poison, I know all about fiery darts,; I don't care how rough the road is, show me where it starts,; Whatever pleases You, tell it to my heart.
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
Put your hand on my head, baby, do I have a temperature?
Well, I wake in the morning, Fold my hands and pray for rain.; I got a head full of ideas, That are drivin' me insane.
If dogs run free, why not me; Across the swamp of time?
There was music in the cafes at night; And revolution in the air.
Thought I'd shaken the wonder and the phantoms of my youth
We're idiots, babe.; It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves.
Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues; You can tell by the way she smiles
She was born in spring, but I was born too late
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past; I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
I finally realize there's no room for regret
I must admit I felt a little uneasy; When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
Senor, senor, let's disconnect these cables,; Overturn these tables.; This place don't make sense to me no more.
Reality has always had too many heads
I can change, I swear, oh, oh,; See what you can do.; I can make it through,; You can make it too.
Tell her she can look me up if she's got the time.
Took a stranger to teach me, to look into justice's beautiful face; And to see an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
It's too bright a light, he said, "For anybody's eyes,; If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."
Just what do you think you have to guard?
Tell ev'rybody; Down in ol' 'Frisco; That Tiny Montgomery's comin'; Down to say Hello
What kind of sign they need when it all come from within
