I've been walking through the middle of nowhere; Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,; That we could sit simply in that room again.
Boys in the street beginning to play; Girls like birds flying away
Leaving men wholly, totally free; To do anything they wish to do but die
Oh the fishes will laugh; As they swim out of the path; And the seagulls they'll be smiling.
The pump don't work; 'Cause the vandals took the handles
Well, the chances are against it and the odds are slim,; That he'll live by the rules that the world makes for him
Talk about perfection, I ain't never seen none
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.
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
Something there is about you that brings back a long forgotten truth
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',; But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
An' here I sit so patiently; Waiting to find out what price; You have to pay to get out of; Going through all these things twice.
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore; You may not see me tomorrow.
Every brain is civilized,; Every nerve is analyzed,; Everything is criticized when you are in need.
Have I surrendered to the will of God; Or am I still acting like the boss?
Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed; Dignity never been photographed
Took a stranger to teach me, to look into justice's beautiful face; And to see an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
Well, they're not showing any lights tonight; And there's no moon.
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin,; Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in.
In the day of confession; We cannot mock a soul.; Oh, when there's too much of nothing,; No one has control.
Guess it's too late to say the things to you; That you needed to hear me say.
'Twas then that I knew what he had on his mind.
Hot chili peppers in the blistering sun
What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood
to live outside the law, you must be honest
Satan whispers to ya, "Well, I don't want to bore ya,; But when ya get tired of the Miss So-and-so I got another woman for ya."
Your cracked country lips,; I still wish to kiss,; As to be under the strength of your skin.
Well, there's voices in the night trying to be heard; I'm sitting here listening to every mind polluting word
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours
My feet are so tired, my brain is so wired
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
I'm in love with the Ugliest Girl in the World
Everybody's doin' something,; I heard it in a dream,; But when there's too much of nothing,; It just makes a fella mean.
I gotta go; Find out something only dead men know
It ain't my cup of meat.
Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
While my conscience explodes; The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
don't criticize; what you can't understand.
We're both just one too many mornings; An' a thousand miles behind.
Roses are red, violets are blue; And time is beginning to crawl
Soon as a man is born, you know the sparks begin to fly, He gets wise in his own eyes and he's made to believe a lie.
People ask about you; I didn't tell them everything I knew
My conscience is beginning to bother me today.
Now you stand here expectin' me to remember somethin' you forgot to say
That's how it is when things disintegrate
I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too"; He said, "You're not Him"
You were trying to break into another world; A world I never knew.; I always kind of wondered; If you ever made it through.
You have explained every mystery.; What can I do for You?
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
Ring them bells, for the time that flies,; For the child that cries; When innocence dies.
When they came for Him in the garden, did they know?
What kind of sign they need when it all come from within
Lovin' you is the one thing I'll never regret.
I stood unwound beneath the skies; And clouds unbound by laws.
I was just too stubborn to ever be governed by enforced insanity
