Oh the fishes will laugh; As they swim out of the path; And the seagulls they'll be smiling.
Well, he can be fascinating, he can be dull,; He can ride down Niagara Falls in the barrels of your skull.
Ring them bells, for the time that flies,; For the child that cries; When innocence dies.
God is in heaven; And we all want what's his; But power and greed and corruptible seed; Seem to be all that there is
Gonna take dancing lessons do the jitterbug rag; Ain't no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag; Only a fool in here would think he's got anything to prove
I fought with my twin, that enemy within, 'til both of us fell by the way.
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,; That we could sit simply in that room again.
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',; But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
Can you tell me what we're waiting for, senor?
I've paid the price of solitude, but at last I'm out of debt.
It's all been designed, he said, "To make you lose your mind,; And when you go back to find it, there's nothing there to find."
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin,; Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in.
With haunted hearts through the heat and cold
We never thought we could ever get old
Could you ever be true?
Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties; Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
Because something is happening here; But you don't know what it is; Do you, Mister Jones?
He looks so truthful, is this how he feels; Trying to peel the moon and expose it
Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency,; All non-believers and men stealers talkin' in the name of religion
Ain't no reason to go anywhere.
You were trying to break into another world; A world I never knew.; I always kind of wondered; If you ever made it through.
as long as the world keeps a-turnin', I just keep a-turnin' too.
But does anyone hear the music they play
Does anyone even try?
Now you stand here expectin' me to remember somethin' you forgot to say
The party's over, and there's less and less to say
I don't know why I love her but I just can't stop
the cops don't need you; and man they expect the same
The angels play on their horns all day,; The whole earth in progression seems to pass by.; But does anyone hear the music they play,; Does anyone even try?
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed,; Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features.
The sky is erupting, I must go where it's quiet.
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
Wealth is a filthy rag; So erotic so unpatriotic; So wrapped up in the American flag
In the hills of mystery,; In the foggy web of destiny,; You can have what's left of me,; Where we were born in time.
Your temperature's too hot for taming
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
I'll give you more gold; Than your apron can hold; If you'll only let your hair hang low
And the words that are used; For to get the ship confused; Will not be understood as they're spoken.
For I know that you know that I know that you know; Something is tearing up your mind.
You say my kisses are not like his,; But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is.
Now, don't crowd me, lady; Or I'll fill up your shoe
Ain't complaining 'bout what I got; Seen better times, but who has not?
Don't the moon look good, mama, Shinin' through the trees?
They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table.
I need a steam shovel mama to keep away the dead
When you think that you lost everything; You find out you can always lose a little more
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind; You could have done better but I don't mind; You just kinda wasted my precious time
The world of illusion is at my door
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
Silver and gold; Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
This wheel shall explode!
May you build a ladder to the stars; And climb on every rung.
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me,; See like me or be like me.
Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road
I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies; I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
I couldn't see what you could show me; Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
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
Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed
I've been hit too hard, I've seen too much; Nothing can heal me now, but your touch
