I see nothing to be gained by any explanation; There are no words that need to be said
Now, I can't go back to what was, baby,; I can't unring the bell.
In the home of the brave
Jefferson turnin’ over in his grave
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,; Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,; With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,; Let me forget about today until tomorrow.
It was gravity which pulled us down and destiny which broke us apart
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
People disagreeing on all just about everything, yeah,; Makes you stop and all wonder why.
You could ride like Annie Oakley,; You could shoot like Belle Starr.
It's too bright a light, he said, "For anybody's eyes,; If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."
Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love.
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."
I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.
Put your body next to mine; And keep me company,; There is plenty a room for all,; So please don't elbow me.
Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed; Dignity never been photographed
Cities on fire, phones out of order
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings, And I've never been too impressed.
Don't trust me to show you beauty; When beauty may only turn to rust.
It was then that I got up to leave; But she said, "Don't forget,; Everybody must give something back; For something they get."
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
I just want you to know; I can see through your masks
It was true that in his later years he would not carry a gun; "I'm around too many children," he'd say, "they should never know of one."
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
Don't trust me to show you the truth; When the truth may only be ashes and dust.
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
You should be made; To wear earphones
I've been walking through the middle of nowhere; Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch.
And I, I don't mind the pain; Don't mind the driving rain; I know I will sustain; 'Cause I believe in you.
I don't mind a reasonable amount of trouble
I been hangin’ on threads
I been playin’ it straight
Now, I’ve just got to cut loose
Before it gets late
Well, I wake in the morning, Fold my hands and pray for rain.; I got a head full of ideas, That are drivin' me insane.
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 come see me, Queen Jane?
Now there's spiritual warfare and flesh and blood breaking down.; Ya either got faith or ya got unbelief and there ain't no neutral ground.
It's so impossible to even learn the tune.
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed,; Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features.
Maybe they'll get me and maybe they won't; But not tonight and it won't be here; There are things I could say but I don't; I know the mercy of God must be near
You know, news of you has come down the line; Even before ya came in the door.; They say in your father's house, there's many mansions; Each one of them got a fireproof floor.
I'm T-boned and punctured; But I'm known to be calm
Get the loot, don't be slow, we're gonna catch a trout
I don't wanna be hers, I wanna be yours.
Don't follow leaders; Watch the parkin' meters
she's true, like ice, like fire
I see, I see lovers in the meadow; I see, I see silhouettes in the window; I watch them 'til they're gone and they leave me hanging on ; To a shadow
They tell me revenge is sweet and from where they stand, I'm sure it is.
Goodnight, my love, may the lord have mercy on us all.
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,; And the dust of rumors covers me.
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
Well, there's voices in the night trying to be heard; I'm sitting here listening to every mind polluting word
I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too"; He said, "You're not Him"
Give me a string bean, I'm a hungry man.
the cops don't need you; and man they expect the same
If the bible is right, the world will explode
If you're lookin' to get silly; You better go back to from where you came
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
Lot of water under the bridge, Lot of other stuff too; Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore; You may not see me tomorrow.
I see people who are supposed to know better standin' around like furniture.
