They don't want me around; 'Cause I believe in you.
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
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.

There's always some new stranger sneakin' glances,; Some trigger-happy fool willin' to take chances
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray

I been playin’ it straight

Before it gets late
I like the cool way you look at me,; Everything about you is bringing me; Misery.
Insanity is smashing up against my soul; You can say I was on anything but a roll; If I had a conscience, well I just might blow my top; What would I do with it anyway ; Maybe take it to the pawn shop
I'm walking through streets that are dead
it is not he or she or them or it; That you belong to.
your pleasure knows no limits
How does it feel
They tell me everything is gonna be all right; But I don't know what "all right" even means
What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this?
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
We grew up together; From the cradle to the grave; We died and were reborn; And then mysteriously saved.
Everybody's doin' something,; I heard it in a dream,; But when there's too much of nothing,; It just makes a fella mean.

In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed,; Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features.
What kind of sign they need when it all come from within

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.
goodbye's too good a word, gal; so I'll just say fare thee well
I need a steam shovel mama to keep away the dead
Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed; Dignity never been photographed

In the home of the brave
Jefferson turnin’ over in his grave
Don't the moon look good, mama, Shinin' through the trees?
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke,; How long must I suffer, Lord, how long must I be provoked?; Satan will give you a little taste, then he'll move in with rapid speed,; Lord keep my blind side covered and see that I don't bleed.
Are you still my friend, baby, show me a sign
And I, I don't mind the pain; Don't mind the driving rain; I know I will sustain; 'Cause I believe in you.
Those are the hills of hell-fire my love; Where you and I will unite
Don't trust me to show you the truth; When the truth may only be ashes and dust.

Yes, I see you on your window ledge; But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge
I was all right 'til I fell in love with you
Give ya delusions of grandeur; And a evil eye; Give you idea that; You're too good to die
