Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,; Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,; With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,; Let me forget about today until tomorrow.
All my friends have told me; If I hang around with you; That I'll go blind
All the people we used to know; Are an illusion to me now
Ain't no reason to go anywhere.
Precious angel, you believe me when I say; What God has given to us no man can take away.
Turn your back, wash your hands,; There's always someone who understands
You'd better do somethin' quick; She's your lover now.
My children will go, As soon as they grow.; Well, there ain't nothing here now to hold them.
Leaving men wholly, totally free; To do anything they wish to do but die
Here is your throat back; Thanks for the loan
Now the rainman gave me two cures,; Then he said, "Jump right in."; The one was Texas medicine,; The other was just railroad gin.
I've paid the price of solitude, but at last I'm out of debt.
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
Nations are angry, cursed are some,; People are expecting a false peace to come.
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.
Saw you drift into infinity and come back again
You were snow, you were rain; You were striped, you were plain,;
I don't know why I love her but I just can't stop
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
It was gravity which pulled us down and destiny which broke us apart
Won't you descend from the throne, from where you sit?
It's mighty funny; the end of time has just begun
You lose yourself, you reappear
the cops don't need you; and man they expect the same
I couldn't see what you could show me; Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
Well, he can be fascinating, he can be dull,; He can ride down Niagara Falls in the barrels of your skull.
In the home of the brave, Jefferson turnin' over in his grave
Oh, baby, that god you been prayin' to; Is gonna give ya back what you're wishin' on someone else
What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood
We always did feel the same,; We just saw it from a different point of view
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.
I can smile in the face of mankind.; Don't even remember what her lips felt like on mine; Most of the time.
Guess it's too late to say the things to you; That you needed to hear me say.
Somebody's got to find your trail,; I guess it must be up to me.
Don't you cry and don't you die and don't you burn
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.; Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
Get the loot, don't be slow, we're gonna catch a trout
Lost time is not found again
Wallflower, wallflower; Take a chance on me.; Please let me ride you home.
Tough Mama; Can I blow a little smoke on you?
Oh what dear daughter 'neath the sun; Would treat a father so,; To wait upon him hand and foot; And always tell him, "No"?
if there's an original thought out there, I could use it right now
My love she speaks like silence
All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
Lookin' at my shadow watching the colors up above
You think you can hide but you're never alone,; Ask Lot what he thought when his wife turned to stone.
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?
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.
Handy dandy, he got a basket of flowers and a bag full or sorrow
When I'm all alone; In the great unknown,; I'll remember you.
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
I'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to me
You could ride like Annie Oakley,; You could shoot like Belle Starr.
I believe in the impossible, you know that I do
I could say that I'd be faithful, I could say it in one sweet, easy breath; But to you that would be cruelty and to me it surely would be death.
We're both just one too many mornings; An' a thousand miles behind.
We're going all the way 'til the wheels fall off and burn
