It's too bright a light, he said, "For anybody's eyes,; If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."
Sooner or later, one of us must know; That I really did try to get close to you
People carry roses
Make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her
Here is your throat back; Thanks for the loan
Reality has always had too many heads
But the magician is quicker and his game; Is much thicker than blood and blacker than ink
When you think that you lost everything; You find out you can always lose a little more
Look into infinity, all you see is trouble.
You say you love me; And you're thinkin' of me,; But you know you could be wrong.
Heart of mine be still,; You can play with fire, But you'll get the bill
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy
Oh, man has invented his doom, First step was touching the moon.
May you always know the truth; And see the lights surrounding you.
Can't you make any sound?
And then you told me later, as I apologized; That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
And you, you took me in,; You loved me then; You didn't waste time.
Louise, she's all right, she's just near; She's delicate and seems like the mirror; But she just makes it all too concise and too clear; That Johanna's not here
They don't want me around; 'Cause I believe in you.
I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring.
You can pound on the President's gate; But you oughta know by now it's gonna be too late.
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
Searching for my double, looking for; Complete evaporation to the core
You know, news of you has come down the line; Even before ya came in the door.; They say in your father's house, there's many mansions; Each one of them got a fireproof floor.
Every day of the year's like playin' Russian roulette
But does anyone hear the music they play
Does anyone even try?
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted
Your magnetic movements; Still capture the minutes I'm in.
So long, New York.; Howdy, East Orange.
goodbye's too good a word, gal; so I'll just say fare thee well
She still lives inside of me, we've never been apart.
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours
Well the desert is hot, the mountain is cursed,; Pray that I don't die of thirst,; Baby, two feet from the well.
Won't you dance with me?; I'm fallin' in love with you.
Whatever you gonna do,; Please do it fast.
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore; You may not see me tomorrow.
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin,; Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in.
Well, if I had to do it all over again,; Babe, I'd do it all over you.
Ain't no reason to go anywhere.
I wouldn't be ashamed to be seen with you anywhere.
I'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to me
Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
There's only one step down from here, baby,; It's called the land of permanent bliss.
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,; That we could sit simply in that room again.
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss.
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
It's the last temptation; The last account; The last time you might hear the sermon on the mount,; The last radio is playing.
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
That's how it is when things disintegrate
And they're breaking down the distance; Between right and wrong.
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting; That's hanging in the Louvre
The man in me will hide sometimes to keep from bein' seen,; But that's just because he doesn't want to turn into some machine.
All he believes are his eyes, And his eyes, they just tell him lies
Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer; It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
Well my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
Now, don't crowd me, lady; Or I'll fill up your shoe
