People tell me it's a sin; To know and feel too much within.
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
The sky is trembling, And I must leave.
Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy
Saw you drift into infinity and come back again
If you're a doctor, I need a shot of love.
Silver and gold; Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
Everybody's doin' something,; I heard it in a dream,; But when there's too much of nothing,; It just makes a fella mean.
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.
I wish that for just one time; You could stand inside my shoes; You'd know what a drag it is; To see you
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
Don't you cry and don't you die and don't you burn
We're both just one too many mornings; An' a thousand miles behind.
I was in a whirlwind, now I'm in some better place.
He bought me with a price,; Freed me from the pit,; Full of emptiness and wrath; And the fire that burns in it.
People ask about you; I didn't tell them everything I knew
Don't trust me to show you the truth; When the truth may only be ashes and dust.
She said, "Be easy, baby,; There ain't nothin' worth stealin' in here."
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.
Hot chili peppers in the blistering sun
But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency,; All non-believers and men stealers talkin' in the name of religion
Now, don't crowd me, lady; Or I'll fill up your shoe
Now, I can't go back to what was, baby,; I can't unring the bell.
Get the loot, don't be slow, we're gonna catch a trout
People are crazy and times are strange
Now, when I was just a bawlin' child,; I saw what I wanted to be
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
May you build a ladder to the stars; And climb on every rung.
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
We sat in an empty theater and we kissed,; I asked ya please to cross me off-a your list.
Gonna take dancing lessons do the jitterbug rag; Ain't no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag; Only a fool in here would think he's got anything to prove
What kind of sign they need when it all come from within
Let me ask you one question; Is your money that good
I am hanging in the balance, of the reality of man; like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
When you know as well as me; You'd rather see me paralyzed
We never thought we could ever get old.; We thought we could sit forever in fun
People disagreeing everywhere you look,; Makes you wanna stop and read a book.
Don't the moon look good, mama, Shinin' through the trees?
Goodnight, my love, may the lord have mercy on us all.
Mama, take this badge off of me
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
She once was a true love of mine
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
The vagabond who's rapping at your door; Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
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.
If you get close to her, kiss her once for me
Well, I asked for something to eat; I'm hungry as a hog; So I get brown rice, seaweed; And a dirty hot dog
Rock me, pretty baby, rock me 'til everything gets real; Rock me for a little while, rock me 'til there's nothing left to feel; And I'll rock you too
Guess it's too late to say the things to you; That you needed to hear me say.
All I really want to do,; Is, baby, be friends with you.
My feet are so tired, my brain is so wired
I've already ripped out the phones, honey.; You can't walk the streets in a war
Did I miss the mark or; Over-step the line; That only you could see?
We grew up together; From the cradle to the grave; We died and were reborn; And then mysteriously saved.
If God's on our side; He'll stop the next war.
Well, You've done it all and there's no more anyone can pretend to do.; What can I do for You?
Put your hand on my head, baby, do I have a temperature?
