You were trying to break into another world; A world I never knew.; I always kind of wondered; If you ever made it through.
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed,; Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features.
Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,; Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
She still lives inside of me, we've never been apart.
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take; To find dignity
The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face
I'm goin' down to Tennessee,; Get me a truck 'r somethin'.; Gonna save my money and rip it up!
While my conscience explodes; The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
Sooner or later, one of us must know; That I really did try to get close to you
I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.
My feet are so tired, my brain is so wired
Well I don't dare close my eyes and I don't dare wink; Maybe in the next life I'll be able to hear myself think
Nations are angry, cursed are some,; People are expecting a false peace to come.
I can tell you fancy, I can tell you plain; You give something up for everything you gain
It's many a guard; That stands around smilin',; Holdin' his club; Like he was a king.
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously; But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise, remind me to show you the, scars.
This wheel shall explode!
You're gonna have to serve somebody.
If you get close to her, kiss her once for me
Don't you cry and don't you die and don't you burn
as long as the world keeps a-turnin', I just keep a-turnin' too.
I like the cool way you look at me,; Everything about you is bringing me; Misery.
Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood.; He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good.
I got new eyes ; Everything looks far away
There are those who worship loneliness, I'm not one of them
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
Well, I don't have to be no doctor, babe,; To see that you're madly in love.
You don't need a weather man; To know which way the wind blows
God is in heaven; And we all want what's his; But power and greed and corruptible seed; Seem to be all that there is
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."
Oh, but if I had the stars from the darkest night,; And the diamonds from the deepest ocean,; I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss,; For that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'.
I'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to me
My conscience is beginning to bother me today.
That long black cloud is comin' down
Oh what dear daughter 'neath the sun; Would treat a father so,; To wait upon him hand and foot; And always tell him, "No"?
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
Well, the road is rocky and the hillside's mud; Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood
Three fellas crawlin' on their way back to work,; Nobody stops to ask why.
So long, New York.; Howdy, East Orange.
The vagabond who's rapping at your door; Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
They got him on conspiracy, they were never sure who with.
Don't trust me to show you beauty; When beauty may only turn to rust.
She's got everything she needs,; She's an artist, she don't look back
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
My head tells me it's time to make a change; But my heart is telling me I love ya but you're strange.
Well, he can be fascinating, he can be dull,; He can ride down Niagara Falls in the barrels of your skull.
Oh, baby, that god you been prayin' to; Is gonna give ya back what you're wishin' on someone else
Ain't complaining 'bout what I got; Seen better times, but who has not?
And I, I don't mind the pain; Don't mind the driving rain; I know I will sustain; 'Cause I believe in you.
Now, I can't go back to what was, baby,; I can't unring the bell.
You will search, babe, At any cost.; But how long, babe, Can you search for what's not lost?
Yesterday everything was going too fast; Today, it's moving too slow
I couldn't see what you could show me; Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
They said it was the land of milk and honey,; now they say it's the land of money.; Who ever thought they could ever make that stick.
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
Wiggle 'til you're high, wiggle 'til you're higher,; Wiggle 'til you vomit fire
