Lay down your weary tune, lay down,; Lay down the song you strum,; And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings; No voice can hope to hum.
And then you told me later, as I apologized; That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.
Everything passes,; Everything changes,; Just do what you think you should do.
They say ev'rything can be replaced
Guess it's too late to say the things to you; That you needed to hear me say.
My conscience is beginning to bother me today.
And the words that are used; For to get the ship confused; Will not be understood as they're spoken.
Get the loot, don't be slow, we're gonna catch a trout
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.
You can pound on the President's gate; But you oughta know by now it's gonna be too late.
The sky is erupting, I must go where it's quiet.
Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed
All the tired horses in the sun; How'm I supposed to get any ridin' done? Hmm.
You know, news of you has come down the line; Even before ya came in the door.; They say in your father's house, there's many mansions; Each one of them got a fireproof floor.
The angels play on their horns all day,; The whole earth in progression seems to pass by.; But does anyone hear the music they play,; Does anyone even try?
Your magnetic movements; Still capture the minutes I'm in.
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.
I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring.
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."
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
With haunted hearts through the heat and cold
We never thought we could ever get old
Well, you're so bad and nasty; But I love you, yes I do
Son, this ain't a dream no more, it's the real thing.
They don't want me around; 'Cause I believe in you.
In order to deal in this game, got to make the queen disappear,; It's done with a flick of the wrist.
They said it was the land of milk and honey,; now they say it's the land of money.; Who ever thought they could ever make that stick.
Someone else is speakin' with my mouth, but I'm listening only to my heart.
you remind me of something that used to be; somethin' that crossed over from another century
Gonna sleep down in the parlor; And relive my dreams
And I can't let go, won't let go, and I can't let go no more.
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.
Yesterday everything was going too fast; Today, it's moving too slow
Precious angel, you believe me when I say; What God has given to us no man can take away.
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours
Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial
When the last rays of daylight go down; Buddy, you'll roll no more; I can hear the church bells ringing in the yard; I wonder who they're ringing for
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
She's a hypnotist collector
You should be made; To wear earphones
Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder
Ain't no reason to go anywhere.
Reality has always had too many heads
I got new eyes ; Everything looks far away
I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail,; Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail,; Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn.
Don't the moon look good, mama, Shinin' through the trees?
But the magician is quicker and his game; Is much thicker than blood and blacker than ink
I must be guilty of something,; You just whisper it into my ear.
I hate myself for lovin' you and the weakness that it showed; You were just a painted face on a trip down Suicide Road
There are those who worship loneliness, I'm not one of them
What makes the wind wanna blow tonight?
Can you tell me what we're waiting for, senor?
I was in a whirlwind, now I'm in some better place.
Can't you make any sound?
Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted
Some things in life, it gets too late to learn
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
I'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to me
