You cast your spell and I went under,; I find it so difficult to leave.
Well, I asked for something to eat; I'm hungry as a hog; So I get brown rice, seaweed; And a dirty hot dog
Cities on fire, phones out of order
You think you can hide but you're never alone,; Ask Lot what he thought when his wife turned to stone.
Gon' walk on down that dirt road 'til I'm right beside the sun
She's got everything she needs,; She's an artist, she don't look back
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
you remind me of something that used to be; somethin' that crossed over from another century
The treasure can't be found by men who search
Every brain is civilized,; Every nerve is analyzed,; Everything is criticized when you are in need.
Nobody feels any pain
But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency
I got a poison headache,; But I feel all right
Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy
You got a lotta nerve; To say you are my friend
The party's over, and there's less and less to say
They don't want me around; 'Cause I believe in you.
You say my kisses are not like his,; But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is.
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,; That we could sit simply in that room again.
Wallflower, wallflower; Take a chance on me.; Please let me ride you home.
And you, you took me in,; You loved me then; You didn't waste time.
All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
An' here I sit so patiently; Waiting to find out what price; You have to pay to get out of; Going through all these things twice.
Temptation's not an easy thing
This is the key to the kingdom and this is the town; This is the blind horse that leads you around
Now, don't crowd me, lady; Or I'll fill up your shoe
I'm T-boned and punctured; But I'm known to be calm
Love is so simple, to quote a phrase,; You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days.
That's how it is when things disintegrate
Build a fire, throw on logs; And listen to it hiss; And let it burn, burn, burn, burn; On a night like this.
Yesterday everything was going too fast; Today, it's moving too slow
Too many thoughts get in the way in the day
Nations are angry, cursed are some,; People are expecting a false peace to come.
I couldn't see what you could show me; Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
Where black is the color, where none is the number
I can change, I swear, oh, oh,; See what you can do.; I can make it through,; You can make it too.
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
I'll remember you; When the wind blows through the piney wood.
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
It's too bright a light, he said, "For anybody's eyes,; If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."
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
Get the loot, don't be slow, we're gonna catch a trout
Always on the outside of whatever side there was,; When they asked him why it had to be that way, "Well," he answered, "just because."
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me,; See like me or be like me.
Those are the hills of hell-fire my love; Where you and I will unite
Satan whispers to ya, "Well, I don't want to bore ya,; But when ya get tired of the Miss So-and-so I got another woman for ya."
Something there is about you that brings back a long forgotten truth
Rock me, pretty baby, rock me 'til everything gets real; Rock me for a little while, rock me 'til there's nothing left to feel; And I'll rock you too
Most of the time; I can't even be sure; If she was ever with me; Or if I was with her.
I like the cool way you look at me,; Everything about you is bringing me; Misery.
Shall I hold you close?; Or Shall I let you go by?; Tell me.; Tell me.
I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
Those are the hill of heaven, my love; You and I'll never know
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,; Should I leave them by your gate,; Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
When you think that you lost everything; You find out you can always lose a little more
The drinks are ready and the dogs are going to war
You will search, babe, At any cost.; But how long, babe, Can you search for what's not lost?
Put my tears in a bottle
Screw the top on tight
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously; But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
