In the day of confession;
We cannot mock a soul.;
Oh, when there's too much of nothing,;
No one has control.

I been hangin’ on threads I been playin’ it straight Now, I’ve just got to cut loose Before it gets late

Trees that've stood for a thousand years suddenly will fall.

You got a lotta nerve;
To say you are my friend

How can I explain?;
Oh, it's so hard to get on

We never thought we could ever get old.;
We thought we could sit forever in fun

Don't trust me to show you love;
When my love may be only lust.

If dogs run free, why not me;
Across the swamp of time?

I like the cool way you look at me,;
Everything about you is bringing me;
Misery.

Gon' walk on down that dirt road 'til I'm right beside the sun

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

Goodnight, my love, may the lord have mercy on us all.

Whatever you wanted;
Slipped out of my mind

I'm hungry and I'm irritable;
And I'm tired of this bag of tricks.;
At one time there was nothing wrong with me;
That you could not fix.

Always on the outside of whatever side there was,;
When they asked him why it had to be that way, "Well," he answered, "just because."

People disagreeing on all just about everything, yeah,;
Makes you stop and all wonder why.

Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley

You can make me cry;
Never say goodbye

There's some people that;
You don't forget,;
Even though you've only seen'm;
One time or two.

Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time

The drinks are ready and the dogs are going to war

You speak to me;
In sign language;
As I'm eating a sandwich

I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings, And I've never been too impressed.

Insanity is smashing up against my soul;
You can say I was on anything but a roll;
If I had a conscience, well I just might blow my top;
What would I do with it anyway ;
Maybe take it to the pawn shop

Well, I got a harmonica job, begun to play,;
Blowin' my lungs out for a dollar a day.

Yesterday everything was going too fast;
Today, it's moving too slow

Democracy don't rule the world,;
You'd better get that in your head.;
This world is ruled by violence;
But I guess that's better left unsaid.

Well, if I had to do it all over again,;
Babe, I'd do it all over you.

I've paid the price of solitude, but at last I'm out of debt.

We pointed out the way to go;
And scratched your name in sand,;
Though you just thought it was nothing more;
Than a place for you to stand.

In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed,;
Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features.

What kind of sign they need when it all come from within

This time tomorrow I'll know you better;
When my memory is not so short.

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.

Last night I danced with a stranger;
But she just reminded me you were the one

This wheel shall explode!

The night is pitch black, come an' make my;
Pale face fit into place, ah, please!

Well the desert is hot, the mountain is cursed,;
Pray that I don't die of thirst,;
Baby, two feet from the well.

Since every pleasure's got an edge of pain;
Pay for your ticket and don't complain

I see people who are supposed to know better standin' around like furniture.

Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.

There's always some new stranger sneakin' glances,;
Some trigger-happy fool willin' to take chances

Lay down your weary tune, lay down,;
Lay down the song you strum,;
And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings;
No voice can hope to hum.

Now the rainman gave me two cures,;
Then he said, "Jump right in.";
The one was Texas medicine,;
The other was just railroad gin.

My conscience is beginning to bother me today.

Talk about perfection, I ain't never seen none

And then you told me later, as I apologized;
That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm

I am hanging in the balance, of the reality of man;
like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand

You don't want a love that's pure;
You wanna drown love;
You want a watered-down love

You're the other half of what I am, you're the missing piece

Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',;
But I'll know my song well before I start singin'

My love she speaks like silence

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.

He bought me with a price,;
Freed me from the pit,;
Full of emptiness and wrath;
And the fire that burns in it.

Could you ever be true?

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.

Something there is about you that brings back a long forgotten truth

When you know as well as me;
You'd rather see me paralyzed

I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,;
That we could sit simply in that room again.
