I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies; I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
I'm goin' down to Tennessee,; Get me a truck 'r somethin'.; Gonna save my money and rip it up!
Whatever you wanted; Slipped out of my mind
I'm T-boned and punctured; But I'm known to be calm
We're both just one too many mornings; An' a thousand miles behind.
You have explained every mystery.; What can I do for You?
Did I miss the mark or; Over-step the line; That only you could see?
Your mind is your temple, keep it beautiful and free,; Don't let an egg get laid in it by something you can't see.
Well, it's always been my nature to take chances; My right hand drawing back while my left hand advances
Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood.; He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good.
There are those who worship loneliness, I'm not one of them
You could make me cry if you don't know.
Oh what dear daughter 'neath the sun; Would treat a father so,; To wait upon him hand and foot; And always tell him, "No"?
That long black cloud is comin' down
It's many a guard; That stands around smilin',; Holdin' his club; Like he was a king.
If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry,; What good am I?
And I can't let go, won't let go, and I can't let go no more.
Well my nerves are exploding and my body's tense; I feel like the whole world got me pinned up against the fence
I'm in the streets; With the tombstone blues
Nations are angry, cursed are some,; People are expecting a false peace to come.
I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring.
I got a poison headache,; But I feel all right
The vagabond who's rapping at your door; Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
I'd never say; That I done it the way; That you'd have liked me to.
it is not he or she or them or it; That you belong to.
Now at midnight all the agents; And the superhuman crew; Come out and round up everyone; That knows more than they do
I was just too stubborn to ever be governed by enforced insanity
I couldn't see what you could show me; Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
Oh, but if I had the stars from the darkest night,; And the diamonds from the deepest ocean,; I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss,; For that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'.
For all eternity I think I will remember; That icy wind that's howling in your eye.
And the words that are used; For to get the ship confused; Will not be understood as they're spoken.
Does she know I still care?
People disagreeing everywhere you look,; Makes you wanna stop and read a book.
Well, I don't have to be no doctor, babe,; To see that you're madly in love.
Every time you leave and go off someplace,; Things fall to pieces in my face
Tell her she can look me up if she's got the time.
I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.
Oh, baby, that god you been prayin' to; Is gonna give ya back what you're wishin' on someone else
He looks so truthful, is this how he feels; Trying to peel the moon and expose it
Could you ever be true?
It's mighty funny; the end of time has just begun
Everybody's doin' something,; I heard it in a dream,; But when there's too much of nothing,; It just makes a fella mean.
All the people we used to know; Are an illusion to me now
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation; There are no words that need to be said
Oh ev'ry foe that ever I faced
The cause was there before we came.
As the last fire truck from hell; Goes rolling by, all good people are praying
Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain
For the loser now; Will be later to win
Our conversation was short and sweet; It nearly swept me off-a my feet.
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
Don't follow leaders; Watch the parkin' meters
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
Pain sure brings out the best in people, doesn't it?
Now, don't crowd me, lady; Or I'll fill up your shoe
Shall I hold you close?; Or Shall I let you go by?; Tell me.; Tell me.
Gon' walk on down that dirt road 'til I'm right beside the sun
Ring them bells, for the time that flies,; For the child that cries; When innocence dies.
Oh, ev'ry thought that's strung a knot in my mind,; I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung.
