Well it's way past midnight and there are people all around; Some on their way up, some on their way down
Well, if I had to do it all over again,; Babe, I'd do it all over you.
Somebody's got to find your trail,; I guess it must be up to me.
don't criticize; what you can't understand.
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
Don't have to look no further, you're the soul of many things.
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
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.
Lay down your weary tune, lay down,; Lay down the song you strum,; And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings; No voice can hope to hum.
Put my tears in a bottle
Screw the top on tight
Well, he can be fascinating, he can be dull,; He can ride down Niagara Falls in the barrels of your skull.
When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things that remain?
Temptation's not an easy thing
I'm going back to New York City; I do believe I've had enough
I know all about poison, I know all about fiery darts,; I don't care how rough the road is, show me where it starts,; Whatever pleases You, tell it to my heart.
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.
When I'm all alone; In the great unknown,; I'll remember you.
I'm already there in my mind; And that's good enough for now
There's always some new stranger sneakin' glances,; Some trigger-happy fool willin' to take chances
Now, don't crowd me, lady; Or I'll fill up your shoe
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.
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
I've paid the price of solitude, but at last I'm out of debt.
Oh, the only decent thing I did when I worked as a postal clerk; Was to haul your picture down off the wall near the cage where I used to work.; Was I a fool or not to try to protect your identity?; You looked a little burned out, my friend,; I thought it might be up to me.
Oh it's rush hour now; On the wheel and the plow; And the sun is going down; Upon the sacred cow.
Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial
My so-called friends have fallen under a spell.; They look me squarely in the eye and they say, "All is well."; Can they imagine the darkness that will fall from on high; When men will beg God to kill them and they won't be able to die?
I'll give you more gold; Than your apron can hold; If you'll only let your hair hang low
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.
I see people who are supposed to know better standin' around like furniture.
They say ev'rything can be replaced
Now at midnight all the agents; And the superhuman crew; Come out and round up everyone; That knows more than they do
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
Well, you're on your own, you always were,; In a land of wolves and thieves.
Since every pleasure's got an edge of pain; Pay for your ticket and don't complain
there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden
What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this?
We always did feel the same,; We just saw it from a different point of view
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.
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells; I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
You're the one I've been looking for,; You're the one that's got the key.; But I can't figure out whether I'm too good for you; Or you're too good for me.
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.
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.
Wiggle 'til you're high, wiggle 'til you're higher,; Wiggle 'til you vomit fire
Are you still my friend, baby, show me a sign
She knows there's no success like failure; And that failure's no success at all.
I'm walking through streets that are dead
Oh my name it is nothin'; My age it means less
I thought somehow that I would be spared this fate
The treasure can't be found by men who search
The drinks are ready and the dogs are going to war
Oh ev'ry foe that ever I faced
The cause was there before we came.
What looks large from a distance,; Close up ain't never that big.
What drives me to you is what drives me insane.
Last night I danced with a stranger; But she just reminded me you were the one
My head tells me it's time to make a change; But my heart is telling me I love ya but you're strange.
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore; You may not see me tomorrow.
