Cities on fire, phones out of order
Do you know where we're headin'?; Lincoln County Road or Armageddon?
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
You're the other half of what I am, you're the missing piece
Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted
Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood.; He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good.
Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties; Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech
I wouldn't be ashamed to be seen with you anywhere.
She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe; "I thought you'd never say hello," she said; "You look like the silent type."
I fought with my twin, that enemy within, 'til both of us fell by the way.
Ain't complaining 'bout what I got; Seen better times, but who has not?
They don't want me around; 'Cause I believe in you.

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.
You have explained every mystery.; What can I do for You?
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.
I gotta go; Find out something only dead men know
We sat in an empty theater and we kissed,; I asked ya please to cross me off-a your list.
She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the Jack of Hearts
When there is no more,; You cut to the core; Quicker than anyone I knew.
I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.

Time is all I have to give
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,; And the dust of rumors covers me.

I don't wanna be hers, I wanna be yours.
What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this?
The angels play on their horns all day,; The whole earth in progression seems to pass by.; But does anyone hear the music they play,; Does anyone even try?
Pardon, monsieur," the desk clerk says,; Carefully removes his fez,; "Am I hearin' you right?"
Any day now, any day now,; I shall be released.
What makes the wind wanna blow tonight?
Nobody feels any pain
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
Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial
I see people in the park forgetting their troubles and woes; They're drinking and dancing, wearing bright colored clothes; All the young men with their young women looking so good; Well, I'd trade places with any of them ; In a minute, if I could
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
When I'm all alone; In the great unknown,; I'll remember you.
I finally realize there's no room for regret
Most of the time; I can't even be sure; If she was ever with me; Or if I was with her.
Tell ev'rybody; Down in ol' 'Frisco; That Tiny Montgomery's comin'; Down to say Hello
I just can't fit; Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
It's the ways of the flesh to war against the spirit; Twenty-four hours a day you can feel it and you can hear it; Using all the devices under the sun.
At the corrida we'll sit in the shade; And watch the young torero stand alone.; We'll drink tequila where our grandfathers stayed; When they rode with Villa into Torreon.
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
She's got everything she needs,; She's an artist, she don't look back
Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain

Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
We heard the Sermon on the Mount and I knew it was too complex,; It didn't amount to anything more than what the broken glass reflects.
Lovin' you is the one thing I'll never regret.
You think you can hide but you're never alone,; Ask Lot what he thought when his wife turned to stone.
I'm already there in my mind; And that's good enough for now
He bought me with a price,; Freed me from the pit,; Full of emptiness and wrath; And the fire that burns in it.
people don’t live or die, people just float
When you know as well as me; You'd rather see me paralyzed
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells; I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
