The night passed away so quickly; It always does when you're with me.
Oh ev'ry foe that ever I faced
The cause was there before we came.
there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden
The world of illusion is at my door
Well I don't dare close my eyes and I don't dare wink; Maybe in the next life I'll be able to hear myself think
Seen the arrow on the doorpost; Saying, "This land is condemned; All the way from New Orleans; To Jerusalem."
Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed; Dignity never been photographed
If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise, remind me to show you the, scars.
People on the platforms; Waiting for the trains; I can hear their hearts a-beatin'; Like pendulums swinging on chains
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
I like the cool way you look at me,; Everything about you is bringing me; Misery.
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take; To find dignity
My head tells me it's time to make a change; But my heart is telling me I love ya but you're strange.
In order to deal in this game, got to make the queen disappear,; It's done with a flick of the wrist.
What was it you wanted; When you were kissing my check?
I've already ripped out the phones, honey.; You can't walk the streets in a war
Too many thoughts get in the way in the day
The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder
The night is pitch black, come an' make my; Pale face fit into place, ah, please!
I'd never say; That I done it the way; That you'd have liked me to.
Most of the time; I can't even be sure; If she was ever with me; Or if I was with her.
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,; That we could sit simply in that room again.
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
Well, I asked for something to eat; I'm hungry as a hog; So I get brown rice, seaweed; And a dirty hot dog
I know all about poison, I know all about fiery darts,; I don't care how rough the road is, show me where it starts,; Whatever pleases You, tell it to my heart.
There are those who worship loneliness, I'm not one of them
Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road
May you have a strong foundation; When the winds of changes shift
He looks so truthful, is this how he feels; Trying to peel the moon and expose it
I got a poison headache,; But I feel all right
You lose yourself, you reappear
I was in your presence for an hour or so; Or was it a day? I truly don't know.
All he believes are his eyes, And his eyes, they just tell him lies
That long black cloud is comin' down
If you're looking for assistance, babe,; Or if you just want some company; Or if you just want a friend you can talk to,; Honey, come and see about me.
Betrayed by a kiss on a cool night of bliss; In the valley of the missing link
My feet are so tired, my brain is so wired
Gonna sleep down in the parlor; And relive my dreams
I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
Now, don't crowd me, lady; Or I'll fill up your shoe
I can smile in the face of mankind.; Don't even remember what her lips felt like on mine; Most of the time.
You were trying to break into another world; A world I never knew.; I always kind of wondered; If you ever made it through.
We're both just one too many mornings; An' a thousand miles behind.
Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood.; He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good.
It's so impossible to even learn the tune.
It's the ways of the flesh to war against the spirit; Twenty-four hours a day you can feel it and you can hear it; Using all the devices under the sun.
I wasn't born to lose you.
Well the desert is hot, the mountain is cursed,; Pray that I don't die of thirst,; Baby, two feet from the well.
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
The country music station plays soft; but there's nothing, really nothing, to turn off
Don't have to look no further, you're the soul of many things.
We never thought we could ever get old.; We thought we could sit forever in fun
Do I need your permission to turn the other cheek?; If you can read my mind, why must I speak?
Your loyalty is not to me; But to the stars above
If God's on our side; He'll stop the next war.
We're idiots, babe.; It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves.
A saxophone someplace far off played
Roses are red, violets are blue; And time is beginning to crawl
