Last night I danced with a stranger; But she just reminded me you were the one
Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties; Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
They say you're usin' voodoo, I seen your feet walk by themselves
Gonna take dancing lessons do the jitterbug rag; Ain't no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag; Only a fool in here would think he's got anything to prove
You got a lotta nerve; To say you are my friend
You speak to me; In sign language; As I'm eating a sandwich
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
I got nothing left to burn
Can't you hear that motor turnin'?; Automobile comin' into style
I still can remember the way that you smiled
Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road
Look into infinity, all you see is trouble.
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
Reality has always had too many heads
In the day of confession; We cannot mock a soul.; Oh, when there's too much of nothing,; No one has control.
Junk is piling up, taking up space
But I will be back, I will survive,; You'll never get rid of me as long as you're alive.
She still lives inside of me, we've never been apart.
I hear that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.
And then you told me later, as I apologized; That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
I'll remember you; At the end of the trail,; I had so much left to do,; I had so little time to fail.
My heart's in the Highlands at the break of dawn; By the beautiful lake of the Black Swan; Big white clouds, like chariots that swing down low; Well my heart's in the Highlands; Only place left to go
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously; But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
Tough Mama; Can I blow a little smoke on you?
Somebody's got to find your trail,; I guess it must be up to me.
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.; Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
Yes, I see you on your window ledge; But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge
A million faces at my feet; But all I see are dark eyes
The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face
Those are the hill of heaven, my love; You and I'll never know
The world of illusion is at my door
Now at midnight all the agents; And the superhuman crew; Come out and round up everyone; That knows more than they do
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.
That long black cloud is comin' down
All my friends have told me; If I hang around with you; That I'll go blind
Praise be to Nero's Neptune; The Titanic sails at dawn; And everybody's shouting; Which Side Are You On?
I can smile in the face of mankind.; Don't even remember what her lips felt like on mine; Most of the time.
They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table.
Won't you descend from the throne, from where you sit?
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
Now, don't crowd me, lady; Or I'll fill up your shoe
You say my kisses are not like his,; But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is.
Whatever you gonna do,; Please do it fast.
I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies; I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past; I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
You don't want a love that's pure; You wanna drown love; You want a watered-down love
At the corrida we'll sit in the shade; And watch the young torero stand alone.; We'll drink tequila where our grandfathers stayed; When they rode with Villa into Torreon.
He bought me with a price,; Freed me from the pit,; Full of emptiness and wrath; And the fire that burns in it.
If dogs run free, why not me; Across the swamp of time?
Leaving men wholly, totally free; To do anything they wish to do but die
Now I wish I could write you a melody so plain; That could hold you dear lady from going insane
Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand,; And rivers that ran through ev'ry day.
A saxophone someplace far off played
Don't trust me to show you beauty; When beauty may only turn to rust.
Today on the countryside it was a-hotter than a crotch
