All the people we used to know; Are an illusion to me now
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
Tell her she can look me up if she's got the time.
Soon as a man is born, you know the sparks begin to fly, He gets wise in his own eyes and he's made to believe a lie.
How did I meet you? I don't know.
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore; You may not see me tomorrow.
But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency
A saxophone someplace far off played
I feel nothing for their game where beauty goes unrecognized
Well it's way past midnight and there are people all around; Some on their way up, some on their way down
Are you still my friend, baby, show me a sign
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.
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
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
What good am I if I know and don't do,; I If I see and don't say, if I look right through you
People carry roses
Make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her
The sky is erupting, I must go where it's quiet.
If dogs run free, why not me; Across the swamp of time?
The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder
Well, you're so bad and nasty; But I love you, yes I do
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
Well, I spied a girl and before she could leave,; "Let's go and play Adam and Eve."; I took her by the hand and my heart it was thumpin'; When she said, "Hey man, you crazy or sumpin',; You see what happened last time they started."
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
There's always some new stranger sneakin' glances,; Some trigger-happy fool willin' to take chances
In the hills of mystery,; In the foggy web of destiny,; You can have what's left of me,; Where we were born in time.
All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
I stood unwound beneath the skies; And clouds unbound by laws.
I'm glad to see you're still alive, you're lookin' like a saint.
I see, I see lovers in the meadow; I see, I see silhouettes in the window; I watch them 'til they're gone and they leave me hanging on ; To a shadow
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
I'll give you more gold; Than your apron can hold; If you'll only let your hair hang low
Every time you leave and go off someplace,; Things fall to pieces in my face
They say ev'rything can be replaced
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.
Oh, some of us'll end up; In St. Cloud Prison,; And some of us'll wind up, To be lawyers and things
I got a poison headache,; But I feel all right
Turn your back, wash your hands,; There's always someone who understands
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
the cops don't need you; and man they expect the same
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
I'm walking through streets that are dead
Praise be to Nero's Neptune; The Titanic sails at dawn; And everybody's shouting; Which Side Are You On?
Now there's spiritual warfare and flesh and blood breaking down.; Ya either got faith or ya got unbelief and there ain't no neutral ground.
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously; But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
Your mind is your temple, keep it beautiful and free,; Don't let an egg get laid in it by something you can't see.
No knife could ever cut our love apart
In the day of confession; We cannot mock a soul.; Oh, when there's too much of nothing,; No one has control.
You can pound on the President's gate; But you oughta know by now it's gonna be too late.
For I know that you know that I know that you know; Something is tearing up your mind.
Boys in the street beginning to play; Girls like birds flying away
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 my house is on fire, burning to the sky
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
Temptation's not an easy thing
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
When he died I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious
