I see nothing to be gained by any explanation; There are no words that need to be said
I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too"; He said, "You're not Him"
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
Don't have to look no further, you're the soul of many things.
Ain't complaining 'bout what I got; Seen better times, but who has not?
There's only one step down from here, baby,; It's called the land of permanent bliss.
It's for myself and my friends my stories are sung.
I'm glad to see you're still alive, you're lookin' like a saint.
Well, the chances are against it and the odds are slim,; That he'll live by the rules that the world makes for him
We grew up together; From the cradle to the grave; We died and were reborn; And then mysteriously saved.
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats; Too noble to neglect; Deceived me into thinking; I had something to protect
In the day of confession; We cannot mock a soul.; Oh, when there's too much of nothing,; No one has control.
Through the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales
Don’t think twice, it’s all right
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
There are those who worship loneliness, I'm not one of them
Don't trust me to show you beauty; When beauty may only turn to rust.
Whatever you wanted; Slipped out of my mind
Well, I got a harmonica job, begun to play,; Blowin' my lungs out for a dollar a day.
I wouldn't be ashamed to be seen with you anywhere.
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.
Well, I asked for something to eat; I'm hungry as a hog; So I get brown rice, seaweed; And a dirty hot dog
It's mighty funny; the end of time has just begun
Oh, ev'ry thought that's strung a knot in my mind,; I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung.
If dogs run free, why not me; Across the swamp of 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.
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
It was then that I got up to leave; But she said, "Don't forget,; Everybody must give something back; For something they get."
What makes the wind wanna blow tonight?
And you, you took me in,; You loved me then; You didn't waste time.
Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer; It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.
They got him on conspiracy, they were never sure who with.
For I know that you know that I know that you know; Something is tearing up your mind.
My conscience is beginning to bother me today.
If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry,; What good am I?
Well my nerves are exploding and my body's tense; I feel like the whole world got me pinned up against the fence
We heard the Sermon on the Mount and I knew it was too complex,; It didn't amount to anything more than what the broken glass reflects.
Won't you dance with me?; I'm fallin' in love with you.
We never thought we could ever get old.; We thought we could sit forever in fun
Put my tears in a bottle
Screw the top on tight
While my conscience explodes; The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
If the bible is right, the world will explode
You have explained every mystery.; What can I do for You?
She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe; "I thought you'd never say hello," she said; "You look like the silent type."
You say my kisses are not like his,; But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is.
I couldn't see where we were goin'; But you said you knew an' I took your word
In the fury of the moment I can see the Master's hand; In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand.
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.
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss.
Now the rainman gave me two cures,; Then he said, "Jump right in."; The one was Texas medicine,; The other was just railroad gin.
There's always some new stranger sneakin' glances,; Some trigger-happy fool willin' to take chances
Down the highway, down the tracks, down the road to ecstasy,; I followed you beneath the stars, hounded by your memory,; And all your ragin' glory.
Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that it passes through
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.
In the home of the brave
Jefferson turnin’ over in his grave
Someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody
I got nothing left to burn
She still lives inside of me, we've never been apart.
