Build a fire, throw on logs; And listen to it hiss; And let it burn, burn, burn, burn; On a night like this.
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed,; Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features.
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."
You can pound on the President's gate; But you oughta know by now it's gonna be too late.
When there is no more,; You cut to the core; Quicker than anyone I knew.
It's too bright a light, he said, "For anybody's eyes,; If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."
Don't trust me to show you beauty; When beauty may only turn to rust.
No knife could ever cut our love apart
Have you got some unfinished business?; Is there something holding you back?; Are you thinking for yourself; Or are you following the pack?
And if my thought-dreams could be seen, They'd probably put my head in a guillotine
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
I must be guilty of something,; You just whisper it into my ear.
Where black is the color, where none is the number
I wish that for just one time; You could stand inside my shoes; You'd know what a drag it is; To see you
But the magician is quicker and his game; Is much thicker than blood and blacker than ink
Well, You've done it all and there's no more anyone can pretend to do.; What can I do for You?
Oh, some of us'll end up; In St. Cloud Prison,; And some of us'll wind up, To be lawyers and things
I'm in a cowboy band
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
I've been walking through the middle of nowhere; Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
All my friends have told me; If I hang around with you; That I'll go blind
If you get close to her, kiss her once for me
Betrayed by a kiss on a cool night of bliss; In the valley of the missing link
They like to take all this money from sin, build big universities to study in; Sing Amazing Grace all the way to the Swiss banks
My so-called friends have fallen under a spell.; They look me squarely in the eye and they say, "All is well."; Can they imagine the darkness that will fall from on high; When men will beg God to kill them and they won't be able to die?
Today on the countryside it was a-hotter than a crotch
Too many thoughts get in the way in the day
The night passed away so quickly; It always does when you're with me.
Never could learn to drink that blood; And call it wine
Those are the hill of heaven, my love; You and I'll never know
Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer; It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.
Oh my name it is nothin'; My age it means less
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,; Should I leave them by your gate,; Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder
Silver and gold; Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
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.
Yes, I see you on your window ledge; But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge
It's all been designed, he said, "To make you lose your mind,; And when you go back to find it, there's nothing there to find."
I can't provide for you no easy answers,; Who are you that I should have to lie?
Temptation's not an easy thing
My head tells me it's time to make a change; But my heart is telling me I love ya but you're strange.
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore; You may not see me tomorrow.
Darkness at the break of noon
Pardon, monsieur," the desk clerk says,; Carefully removes his fez,; "Am I hearin' you right?"
she's true, like ice, like fire
I wasn't born to lose you.
I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail,; Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail,; Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn.
Maybe they'll get me and maybe they won't; But not tonight and it won't be here; There are things I could say but I don't; I know the mercy of God must be near
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,; That we could sit simply in that room again.
She says, "What'll it be?"; I say, "I don't know, you got any soft boiled eggs?"
Well, I spied a girl and before she could leave,; "Let's go and play Adam and Eve."; I took her by the hand and my heart it was thumpin'; When she said, "Hey man, you crazy or sumpin',; You see what happened last time they started."
People tell me it's a sin; To know and feel too much within.
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours
What makes the wind wanna blow tonight?
Are you still my friend, baby, show me a sign
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
Dark Beauty; Meet me at the border late tonight
Not one more night, not one more kiss,; Not this time baby, no more of this,; Takes too much skill, takes too much will,; It's revealing.
