And every one of them words rang true; And glowed like burnin' coal; Pourin' off of every page; Like it was written in my soul from me to you
Don't trust me to show you love; When my love may be only lust.
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take; To find dignity
Someone else is speakin' with my mouth, but I'm listening only to my heart.
She still lives inside of me, we've never been apart.
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.
Well, I wake in the morning, Fold my hands and pray for rain.; I got a head full of ideas, That are drivin' me insane.
I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down
Let's try to get beneath the surface waste, girl,; No more booby traps and bombs,; No more decadence and charm,; No more affection that's misplaced, girl
For all eternity I think I will remember; That icy wind that's howling in your eye.
You can pound on the President's gate; But you oughta know by now it's gonna be too late.
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past; I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
Oh ev'ry foe that ever I faced
The cause was there before we came.
People are crazy and times are strange
People carry roses
Make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.
I hate myself for lovin' you and the weakness that it showed; You were just a painted face on a trip down Suicide Road
I can change, I swear, oh, oh,; See what you can do.; I can make it through,; You can make it too.
And you, you took me in,; You loved me then; You didn't waste time.
Your loyalty is not to me; But to the stars above
Everything passes,; Everything changes,; Just do what you think you should do.
She knows there's no success like failure; And that failure's no success at all.
I don't need no alibi when I'm spending time with you.; I've heard all of them rumors and you have heard 'em too.
to live outside the law, you must be honest
I thought somehow that I would be spared this fate
I've been hit too hard, I've seen too much; Nothing can heal me now, but your touch
Took a stranger to teach me, to look into justice's beautiful face; And to see an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
if every bone in his body was broken he would never admit it
In the home of the brave, Jefferson turnin' over in his grave
Temptation's not an easy thing
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
If your mem'ry serves you well,; You'll remember you're the one; That called on me to call on them; To get you your favors done.
Lay down your weary tune, lay down,; Lay down the song you strum,; And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings; No voice can hope to hum.
Well, I asked for something to eat; I'm hungry as a hog; So I get brown rice, seaweed; And a dirty hot dog
You think you can hide but you're never alone,; Ask Lot what he thought when his wife turned to stone.
I'm in the streets; With the tombstone blues
Something there is about you that brings back a long forgotten truth
This wheel shall explode!
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind; You could have done better but I don't mind; You just kinda wasted my precious time
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood
I don't mind a reasonable amount of trouble
Ring them bells, for the time that flies,; For the child that cries; When innocence dies.
If I had wings and I could fly,; I know where I would go.
And they're breaking down the distance; Between right and wrong.
But the magician is quicker and his game; Is much thicker than blood and blacker than ink
Gonna sleep down in the parlor; And relive my dreams
Are you still my friend, baby, show me a sign
No knife could ever cut our love apart
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.; Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
Go 'way from my window,; Leave at your own chosen speed.
If you're lookin' to get silly; You better go back to from where you came
I am hanging in the balance, of the reality of man; like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand
Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed; Dignity never been photographed
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.
