What happened to the real you, you've been captured but by whom?
Guess it's too late to say the things to you; That you needed to hear me say.
Gon' walk on down that dirt road 'til I'm right beside the sun
Reality has always had too many heads
All the people we used to know; Are an illusion to me now
Somethin' there is about you that I can't quite put my finger on.
Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed; Dignity never been photographed
Well, you're so bad and nasty; But I love you, yes I do
Did I miss the mark or; Over-step the line; That only you could see?
Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder
When the last rays of daylight go down; Buddy, you'll roll no more; I can hear the church bells ringing in the yard; I wonder who they're ringing for
But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency
You breathed on me and made my life a richer one to live,; When I was deep in poverty you taught me how to give
I feel nothing for their game where beauty goes unrecognized
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
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.
Just what do you think you have to guard?
Without freedom of speech, I might be in the swamp.
Lost time is not found again
Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory
I hear that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.
Put your ear to the train tracks, put your ear to the ground,; You ever feel like you're never alone even when there's nobody else around?; Since the beginning of the universe man's been cursed by trouble.
Time passes slowly when you're lost in a dream.
You will search, babe, At any cost.; But how long, babe, Can you search for what's not lost?
Now, when I was just a bawlin' child,; I saw what I wanted to be
Could you ever be true?
I don't want to fake you out
Well my house is on fire, burning to the sky
We grew up together; From the cradle to the grave; We died and were reborn; And then mysteriously saved.
The night is pitch black, come an' make my; Pale face fit into place, ah, please!
I can change, I swear, oh, oh,; See what you can do.; I can make it through,; You can make it too.
Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,; Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
Well it's way past midnight and there are people all around; Some on their way up, some on their way down
They used to grow food in Kansas; Now they want to grow it on the moon and eat it raw.; I can see the day coming when even your home garden; Is gonna be against the law.
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting; That's hanging in the Louvre
She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the Jack of Hearts
Since every pleasure's got an edge of pain; Pay for your ticket and don't complain
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?
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
if every bone in his body was broken he would never admit it
In the day of confession; We cannot mock a soul.; Oh, when there's too much of nothing,; No one has control.
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.
Talk about perfection, I ain't never seen none
They tell me everything is gonna be all right; But I don't know what "all right" even means
Let the wind blow low, let the wind blow high.; One day the little boy and the little girl were both baked in a pie.
I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
The sky is trembling, And I must leave.
She knows where I'd like to be; But it doesn't matter.
I got new eyes ; Everything looks far away
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,; All the pigeons gonna run to him.
Go 'way from my window,; Leave at your own chosen speed.
Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
We're both just one too many mornings; An' a thousand miles behind.
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
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.
