Now the moon is almost hidden;
The stars are beginning to hide;
The fortunetelling lady;
Has even taken all her things inside

Wealth is a filthy rag;
So erotic so unpatriotic;
So wrapped up in the American flag

How can I explain?;
Oh, it's so hard to get on

Let's try to get beneath the surface waste, girl,;
No more booby traps and bombs,;
No more decadence and charm,;
No more affection that's misplaced, girl

I'd never say;
That I done it the way;
That you'd have liked me to.

Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.

In the home of the brave Jefferson turnin’ over in his grave

Those are the hill of heaven, my love;
You and I'll never know

I'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to me

We sat in an empty theater and we kissed,;
I asked ya please to cross me off-a your list.

You could make me cry if you don't know.

Silver and gold;
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold

Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night

Most of the time;
I can't even be sure;
If she was ever with me;
Or if I was with her.

I couldn't see where we were goin';
But you said you knew an' I took your word

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.

The party's over, and there's less and less to say

I've already ripped out the phones, honey.;
You can't walk the streets in a war

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

Just do your thing, you'll be king;
If dogs run free.

We pointed out the way to go;
And scratched your name in sand,;
Though you just thought it was nothing more;
Than a place for you to stand.

So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.

Time is all I have to give

The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder

Don't you cry and don't you die and don't you burn

Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?

And then you told me later, as I apologized;
That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm

take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind

Everybody is making love Or else expecting rain

For all eternity I think I will remember;
That icy wind that's howling in your eye.

Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',;
But I'll know my song well before I start singin'

I see people in the park forgetting their troubles and woes;
They're drinking and dancing, wearing bright colored clothes;
All the young men with their young women looking so good;
Well, I'd trade places with any of them ;
In a minute, if I could

Handy dandy, he got a basket of flowers and a bag full or sorrow

If he needs a third eye he just grows it

In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection

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.

Those are the hills of hell-fire my love;
Where you and I will unite

Don't trust me to show you the truth;
When the truth may only be ashes and dust.

Are you still my friend, baby, show me a sign

Well, they're not showing any lights tonight;
And there's no moon.

I've been walking through the middle of nowhere;
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door

Your loyalty is not to me;
But to the stars above

There's no one here, the gardener is gone

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

Oh the fishes will laugh;
As they swim out of the path;
And the seagulls they'll be smiling.

Build a fire, throw on logs;
And listen to it hiss;
And let it burn, burn, burn, burn;
On a night like this.

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.

I feel nothing for their game where beauty goes unrecognized

She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the Jack of Hearts

Well, You've done it all and there's no more anyone can pretend to do.;
What can I do for You?

But does anyone hear the music they play Does anyone even try?

She still lives inside of me, we've never been apart.

People disagreeing on all just about everything, yeah,;
Makes you stop and all wonder why.

They like to take all this money from sin, build big universities to study in;
Sing Amazing Grace all the way to the Swiss banks

My heart's in the Highlands at the break of dawn;
By the beautiful lake of the Black Swan;
Big white clouds, like chariots that swing down low;
Well my heart's in the Highlands;
Only place left to go

your pleasure knows no limits

Last night I danced with a stranger;
But she just reminded me you were the one

Ain't no reason to go anywhere.

Searching for my double, looking for;
Complete evaporation to the core
