Took a stranger to teach me, to look into justice's beautiful face; And to see an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
As his youth now unfolds; He is centuries old; Just to see him at play makes me smile; No matter what happens to me; No matter what my destiny; Lord, protect my child
You cast your spell and I went under,; I find it so difficult to leave.
All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
It's so impossible to even learn the tune.
I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch.
Run your fingers down my spine; Bring me a touch of bliss
Time is all I have to give
Oh ev'ry foe that ever I faced
The cause was there before we came.
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells; I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed; Dignity never been photographed
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.
if there's an original thought out there, I could use it right now
I just can't fit; Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
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.
Those are the hills of hell-fire my love; Where you and I will unite
Now the rainman gave me two cures,; Then he said, "Jump right in."; The one was Texas medicine,; The other was just railroad gin.
But even the president of the United States, Sometimes must have, To stand naked.
And you never ask questions; When God's on your side.
Try to be pure at heart, they arrest you for robbery,; Mistake your shyness for aloofness, your shyness for snobbery
I fought with my twin, that enemy within, 'til both of us fell by the way.
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?
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
Now, I can't go back to what was, baby,; I can't unring the bell.
Love is so simple, to quote a phrase,; You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days.
I got nothing left to burn
The night passed away so quickly; It always does when you're with me.
Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues; You can tell by the way she smiles
Won't you come with me, baby?; I'll take you where you wanna go.; And if it don't work out, You'll be the first to know
She got a weird sense of humor that's all her own
I'll remember you; When the wind blows through the piney wood.
If you get close to her, kiss her once for me
Don't you cry and don't you die and don't you burn
All I feel is heat and flame and all I see are dark eyes.
Dark Beauty; Meet me at the border late tonight
You're so damn nonchalant; But it's your mind that I want.
Where black is the color, where none is the number
It's mighty funny; the end of time has just begun
Today on the countryside it was a-hotter than a crotch
We heard the Sermon on the Mount and I knew it was too complex,; It didn't amount to anything more than what the broken glass reflects.
Look into infinity, all you see is trouble.
Lost time is not found again
Get the loot, don't be slow, we're gonna catch a trout
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
Three fellas crawlin' on their way back to work,; Nobody stops to ask why.
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
May you always know the truth; And see the lights surrounding you.
But the magician is quicker and his game; Is much thicker than blood and blacker than ink
Your temperature's too hot for taming
While my conscience explodes; The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
How can I explain?; Oh, it's so hard to get on
I don't want to fake you out
I stood unwound beneath the skies; And clouds unbound by laws.
Your loyalty is not to me; But to the stars above
Oh, some of us'll end up; In St. Cloud Prison,; And some of us'll wind up, To be lawyers and things
If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry,; What good am I?
