The party's over, and there's less and less to say
Time passes slowly when you're lost in a dream.
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
Well, You've done it all and there's no more anyone can pretend to do.; What can I do for You?
I look into the eyes of my merciful friend
And then I ask myself, is this the end?
Memories linger, sad yet sweet
And I think of the souls in heaven who will meet
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation; There are no words that need to be said
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.
He looks so truthful, is this how he feels; Trying to peel the moon and expose it
You should be made; To wear earphones
But I mean no harm nor put fault, On anyone that lives in a vault, But it's alright, Ma, if I can't please him.
On the rising curve,; Where the ways of nature will test every nerve,; You won't get anything you don't deserve,; Where we were born in time.
She knows where I'd like to be; But it doesn't matter.
There's only one step down from here, baby,; It's called the land of permanent bliss.
This wheel shall explode!
Shall I hold you close?; Or Shall I let you go by?; Tell me.; Tell me.
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss.
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea; Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me.
Shine your light, shine your light on me; Ya know I just couldn't make it by myself.; I'm a little too blind to see
I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies; I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
If there's a poor boy on the street,; Then let him have my seat; 'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
What looks large from a distance,; Close up ain't never that big.
When we meet again; Introduced as friends; Please don't let on that you knew me when; I was hungry and it was your world.
What good am I if I say foolish things; And I laugh in the face of what sorrow brings; And I just turn my back while you silently die,; What good am I?
Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed; Dignity never been photographed
I've been hit too hard, I've seen too much; Nothing can heal me now, but your touch
If dogs run free, why not me; Across the swamp of time?
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,; All the pigeons gonna run to him.
If you get close to her, kiss her once for me
Oh what dear daughter 'neath the sun; Would treat a father so,; To wait upon him hand and foot; And always tell him, "No"?
All the people we used to know; Are an illusion to me now
Love is so simple, to quote a phrase,; You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days.
Now the rainman gave me two cures,; Then he said, "Jump right in."; The one was Texas medicine,; The other was just railroad gin.
I believe in the impossible, you know that I do
don't criticize; what you can't understand.
Nations are angry, cursed are some,; People are expecting a false peace to come.
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.
People disagreeing on all just about everything, yeah,; Makes you stop and all wonder why.
Every day of the year's like playin' Russian roulette
I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring.
Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
When destruction cometh swiftly; And there's no time to say a fare-thee-well,; Have you decided whether you want to be; In heaven or in hell?
I see people who are supposed to know better standin' around like furniture.
I don't want to fake you out
I'm going back to New York City; I do believe I've had enough
May you always know the truth; And see the lights surrounding you.
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."
Son, this ain't a dream no more, it's the real thing.
Wiggle 'til you're high, wiggle 'til you're higher,; Wiggle 'til you vomit fire
Gonna sleep down in the parlor; And relive my dreams
I can't help it if I'm lucky.
Tell ev'rybody; Down in ol' 'Frisco; That Tiny Montgomery's comin'; Down to say Hello
The man in me will hide sometimes to keep from bein' seen,; But that's just because he doesn't want to turn into some machine.
Now, a very great man once said; That some people rob you with a fountain pen.; It didn't take too long to find out; Just what he was talkin' about.
When you think that you lost everything; You find out you can always lose a little more
While my conscience explodes; The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
