Everything passes,;
Everything changes,;
Just do what you think you should do.

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.

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.

the cops don't need you;
and man they expect the same

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.

he not busy being born, Is busy dying

Time is all I have to give

And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,;
And the dust of rumors covers me.

Gon' walk on down until I'm right beside the sun;
I'm gonna have to put up a barrier to keep myself away from everyone.

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

He said, Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?;
I said, I got no money. He said, That ain't necessary.

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
