Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too"; He said, "You're not Him"
You have explained every mystery.; What can I do for You?
Do I need your permission to turn the other cheek?; If you can read my mind, why must I speak?
What kind of sign they need when it all come from within
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
If dogs run free, why not me; Across the swamp of time?
I don't wanna be hers, I wanna be yours.
time is running backwards
Well, I got a harmonica job, begun to play,; Blowin' my lungs out for a dollar a day.
The truth was obscure, too profound and too pure, to live it you have to explode.
Ever since you walked right in, the circle's been complete
I must admit I felt a little uneasy; When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
Hot chili peppers in the blistering sun
Lovin' you is the one thing I'll never regret.
Mama, take this badge off of me
And the words that are used; For to get the ship confused; Will not be understood as they're spoken.
You were trying to break into another world; A world I never knew.; I always kind of wondered; If you ever made it through.
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
Don't trust me to show you the truth; When the truth may only be ashes and dust.
What looks large from a distance,; Close up ain't never that big.
You'd better do somethin' quick; She's your lover now.
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,; Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,; With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,; Let me forget about today until tomorrow.

And if my thought-dreams could be seen, They'd probably put my head in a guillotine
Well it's way past midnight and there are people all around; Some on their way up, some on their way down
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats; Too noble to neglect; Deceived me into thinking; I had something to protect
I looked at my watch; I looked at my wrist; I punched myself in the face with my fist
Searching for my double, looking for; Complete evaporation to the core
If I ever lose her I will go insane; I go half crazy when she calls my name
Because something is happening here; But you don't know what it is; Do you, Mister Jones?
Whatever you gonna do,; Please do it fast.
You cast your spell and I went under,; I find it so difficult to leave.
The world of illusion is at my door
If you're lookin' to get silly; You better go back to from where you came
That long black cloud is comin' down
The night is pitch black, come an' make my; Pale face fit into place, ah, please!
You think you can hide but you're never alone,; Ask Lot what he thought when his wife turned to stone.
You could ride like Annie Oakley,; You could shoot like Belle Starr.
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?
You're the other half of what I am, you're the missing piece
I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down
And every time you get this close; It makes me want to scream
Whatever you wanted; Slipped out of my mind
Do you know where we're headin'?; Lincoln County Road or Armageddon?
the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
If you want to live easy
Baby pack your clothes with mine
I know all about poison, I know all about fiery darts,; I don't care how rough the road is, show me where it starts,; Whatever pleases You, tell it to my heart.
Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line,; Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine.
I hear that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.
All my friends have told me; If I hang around with you; That I'll go blind
You can't get to glory by the raising and the lowering of no flag.; Put your goodness next to God's and it comes out like a filthy rag.
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
My so-called friends have fallen under a spell.; They look me squarely in the eye and they say, "All is well."; Can they imagine the darkness that will fall from on high; When men will beg God to kill them and they won't be able to die?
Did I miss the mark or; Over-step the line; That only you could see?
What was it you wanted; When you were kissing my check?
