I just want you to know; I can see through your masks
It's mighty funny; the end of time has just begun
Try to be pure at heart, they arrest you for robbery,; Mistake your shyness for aloofness, your shyness for snobbery
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
May you have a strong foundation; When the winds of changes shift
I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells; I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down
Cities on fire, phones out of order
Down the highway, down the tracks, down the road to ecstasy,; I followed you beneath the stars, hounded by your memory,; And all your ragin' glory.
I see people who are supposed to know better standin' around like furniture.
Now, when I was just a bawlin' child,; I saw what I wanted to be
Do you ever wonder just what God requires?; You think He's just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires.
Well, you're so bad and nasty; But I love you, yes I do
Oh the fishes will laugh; As they swim out of the path; And the seagulls they'll be smiling.
In the home of the brave
Jefferson turnin’ over in his grave
When we meet again; Introduced as friends; Please don't let on that you knew me when; I was hungry and it was your world.
I need a steam shovel mama to keep away the dead
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
I see people in the park forgetting their troubles and woes; They're drinking and dancing, wearing bright colored clothes; All the young men with their young women looking so good; Well, I'd trade places with any of them ; In a minute, if I could
I believe in the impossible, you know that I do
Then she says, "I know you're an artist, draw a picture of me!"; I say, "I would if I could, but, ; I don't do sketches from memory."
All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
And they're breaking down the distance; Between right and wrong.
All the laughter is just making me sad
I'm already there in my mind; And that's good enough for now
Look into infinity, all you see is trouble.
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
What good am I if I say foolish things; And I laugh in the face of what sorrow brings; And I just turn my back while you silently die,; What good am I?
And you, you took me in,; You loved me then; You didn't waste time.
Just do your thing, you'll be king; If dogs run free.
Ring them bells, for the time that flies,; For the child that cries; When innocence dies.
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting; That's hanging in the Louvre
Betrayed by a kiss on a cool night of bliss; In the valley of the missing link
your pleasure knows no limits
Without freedom of speech, I might be in the swamp.
Oh my name it is nothin'; My age it means less
While my conscience explodes; The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
I'll remember you; When the wind blows through the piney wood.
May you build a ladder to the stars; And climb on every rung.
How can I explain?; Oh, it's so hard to get on
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',; But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
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.
Won't you descend from the throne, from where you sit?
Oh what dear daughter 'neath the sun; Would treat a father so,; To wait upon him hand and foot; And always tell him, "No"?
People are crazy and times are strange
Lookin' at my shadow watching the colors up above
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
I'm in love with the Ugliest Girl in the World
Hot chili peppers in the blistering sun
Well, they're not showing any lights tonight; And there's no moon.
He bought me with a price,; Freed me from the pit,; Full of emptiness and wrath; And the fire that burns in it.
Well, the road is rocky and the hillside's mud; Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood
They got him on conspiracy, they were never sure who with.
