Don’t think twice, it’s all right
Well my house is on fire, burning to the sky
Have I surrendered to the will of God;
Or am I still acting like the boss?
Let me ask you one question;
Is your money that good
She knows there's no success like failure;
And that failure's no success at all.
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
All I feel is heat and flame and all I see are dark eyes.
Son, this ain't a dream no more, it's the real thing.
She's got everything she needs,;
She's an artist, she don't look back
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go;
To the valley below
You were trying to break into another world;
A world I never knew.;
I always kind of wondered;
If you ever made it through.
Get the loot, don't be slow, we're gonna catch a trout
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
Searching for my double, looking for;
Complete evaporation to the core
If there's a poor boy on the street,;
Then let him have my seat;
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
Too many thoughts get in the way in the day
You don't need a weather man;
To know which way the wind blows
Silver and gold;
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
While my conscience explodes;
The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
Drinkin' man listens to the voice he hears;
In a crowded room full of covered up mirrors;
Lookin' into the lost forgotten years;
For dignity
We pointed out the way to go;
And scratched your name in sand,;
Though you just thought it was nothing more;
Than a place for you to stand.
I can change, I swear, oh, oh,;
See what you can do.;
I can make it through,;
You can make it too.
You could ride like Annie Oakley,;
You could shoot like Belle Starr.
Democracy don't rule the world,;
You'd better get that in your head.;
This world is ruled by violence;
But I guess that's better left unsaid.
Put your body next to mine;
And keep me company,;
There is plenty a room for all,;
So please don't elbow me.
Somethin' there is about you that I can't quite put my finger on.
Everybody's wearing a disguise;
To hide what they've got left behind their eyes
Go 'way from my window,;
Leave at your own chosen speed.
Well, you're on your own, you always were,;
In a land of wolves and thieves.
I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch.
Without freedom of speech, I might be in the swamp.
The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face
Lost time is not found again
I'll remember you;
At the end of the trail,;
I had so much left to do,;
I had so little time to fail.
you remind me of something that used to be;
somethin' that crossed over from another century
But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
don't criticize;
what you can't understand.
I was in your presence for an hour or so;
Or was it a day? I truly don't know.
She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the Jack of Hearts
Last night I danced with a stranger;
But she just reminded me you were the one
He said, Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?;
I said, I got no money. He said, That ain't necessary.
You lose yourself, you reappear
The world of illusion is at my door
Lot of water under the bridge, Lot of other stuff too;
Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through
Not one more night, not one more kiss,;
Not this time baby, no more of this,;
Takes too much skill, takes too much will,;
It's revealing.
Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
Turn your back, wash your hands,;
There's always someone who understands
I been hangin’ on threads
I been playin’ it straight
Now, I’ve just got to cut loose
Before it gets late
I just can't fit;
Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
You will search, babe, At any cost.;
But how long, babe, Can you search for what's not lost?
Your mind is your temple, keep it beautiful and free,;
Don't let an egg get laid in it by something you can't see.
I need a dump truck mama to unload my head
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
People on the platforms;
Waiting for the trains;
I can hear their hearts a-beatin';
Like pendulums swinging on chains
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain
If you're lookin' to get silly;
You better go back to from where you came
