I'm already there in my mind; And that's good enough for now
Whatever you wanted; Slipped out of my mind
Oh, baby, that god you been prayin' to; Is gonna give ya back what you're wishin' on someone else
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
Now, when I was just a bawlin' child,; I saw what I wanted to be
As the last fire truck from hell; Goes rolling by, all good people are praying
It ain't my cup of meat.
Put your hand on my head, baby, do I have a temperature?
Won't you descend from the throne, from where you sit?
your pleasure knows no limits
If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry,; What good am I?
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.
People disagreeing on all just about everything, yeah,; Makes you stop and all wonder why.
Go 'way from my window,; Leave at your own chosen speed.
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."
Everybody's doin' something,; I heard it in a dream,; But when there's too much of nothing,; It just makes a fella mean.
She says, "What'll it be?"; I say, "I don't know, you got any soft boiled eggs?"
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'm walking through streets that are dead
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.
For I know that you know that I know that you know; Something is tearing up your mind.
We always did feel the same,; We just saw it from a different point of view
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
We're going all the way 'til the wheels fall off and burn
Wealth is a filthy rag; So erotic so unpatriotic; So wrapped up in the American flag
My conscience is beginning to bother me today.
You can pound on the President's gate; But you oughta know by now it's gonna be too late.
Now, I can't go back to what was, baby,; I can't unring the bell.
I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.
The walls of pride are high and wide; Can't see over to the other side; It's such a sad thing to see beauty decay; It's sadder still, to feel your heart torn away
Done so many evil things in the name of love, it's a crying shame; I never did see no fire that could put out a flame.
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection
Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial
I was in a whirlwind, now I'm in some better place.
Ever since you walked right in, the circle's been complete
Tell ev'rybody; Down in ol' 'Frisco; That Tiny Montgomery's comin'; Down to say Hello
When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things that remain?
You lose yourself, you reappear
She said, "Be easy, baby,; There ain't nothin' worth stealin' in here."
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.
I'm hungry and I'm irritable; And I'm tired of this bag of tricks.; At one time there was nothing wrong with me; That you could not fix.
Don't follow leaders; Watch the parkin' meters
Has the record been breaking,; Did the needle just skip
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
Dark Beauty; Meet me at the border late tonight
For the loser now; Will be later to win
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.
Leaving men wholly, totally free; To do anything they wish to do but die
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting; That's hanging in the Louvre
I'm going back to New York City; I do believe I've had enough
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
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
And if my thought-dreams could be seen, They'd probably put my head in a guillotine
When I'm all alone; In the great unknown,; I'll remember you.
Just do your thing, you'll be king; If dogs run free.
Well my nerves are exploding and my body's tense; I feel like the whole world got me pinned up against the fence
Won't you dance with me?; I'm fallin' in love with you.
Because something is happening here; But you don't know what it is; Do you, Mister Jones?
