When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
Wiggle 'til you're high, wiggle 'til you're higher,; Wiggle 'til you vomit fire
Don't you know there's nothing new that's under the sun?; Well, there ain't no man righteous, no not one.
Does she know I still care?
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously; But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
You can pound on the President's gate; But you oughta know by now it's gonna be too late.

Precious angel, you believe me when I say; What God has given to us no man can take away.
it is not he or she or them or it; That you belong to.
In the home of the brave
Jefferson turnin’ over in his grave
I am hanging in the balance, of the reality of man; like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand
I stood unwound beneath the skies; And clouds unbound by laws.
I need a dump truck mama to unload my head
I was in your presence for an hour or so; Or was it a day? I truly don't know.
Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line,; Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine.
If I ever lose her I will go insane; I go half crazy when she calls my name
And I can't let go, won't let go, and I can't let go no more.
God is in heaven; And we all want what's his; But power and greed and corruptible seed; Seem to be all that there is
Well, they're not showing any lights tonight; And there's no moon.
Done so many evil things in the name of love, it's a crying shame; I never did see no fire that could put out a flame.
Just what do you think you have to guard?
She's a hypnotist collector
Dark Beauty; Meet me at the border late tonight
Did I miss the mark or; Over-step the line; That only you could see?

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.

Make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her

And every time you get this close; It makes me want to scream

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
Heart of mine be still,; You can play with fire, But you'll get the bill
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
How did I meet you? I don't know.
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin,; Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in.
Never could learn to drink that blood; And call it wine
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take; To find dignity
The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face
Everybody must get stoned.
How does it feel
But even the president of the United States, Sometimes must have, To stand naked.
I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings, And I've never been too impressed.
