The drinks are ready and the dogs are going to war
as long as the world keeps a-turnin', I just keep a-turnin' too.
It's for myself and my friends my stories are sung.
Give ya delusions of grandeur; And a evil eye; Give you idea that; You're too good to die
Oh ev'ry foe that ever I faced
The cause was there before we came.
I want to thank You, Lord,; I just want to thank You, Lord,; Thank You, Lord.
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
The country music station plays soft; but there's nothing, really nothing, to turn off
She says, "What'll it be?"; I say, "I don't know, you got any soft boiled eggs?"
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
I look into the eyes of my merciful friend
And then I ask myself, is this the end?
Memories linger, sad yet sweet
And I think of the souls in heaven who will meet
I was in a whirlwind, now I'm in some better place.
Won't you descend from the throne, from where you sit?
Well, the chances are against it and the odds are slim,; That he'll live by the rules that the world makes for him
How did I meet you? I don't know.
He looks so truthful, is this how he feels; Trying to peel the moon and expose it
Don't have to look no further, you're the soul of many things.
May you build a ladder to the stars; And climb on every rung.
When we meet again; Introduced as friends; Please don't let on that you knew me when; I was hungry and it was your world.
I've already ripped out the phones, honey.; You can't walk the streets in a war
I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still
I got a poison headache,; But I feel all right
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
You were snow, you were rain; You were striped, you were plain,;
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.
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
And you never ask questions; When God's on your side.
And if my thought-dreams could be seen, They'd probably put my head in a guillotine
Oh it's rush hour now; On the wheel and the plow; And the sun is going down; Upon the sacred cow.
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
I wasn't born to lose you.
He got an all girl orchestra and when he says; "Strike up the band," they hit it
What good am I if I know and don't do,; I If I see and don't say, if I look right through you
Your cracked country lips,; I still wish to kiss,; As to be under the strength of your skin.
Wiggle 'til you're high, wiggle 'til you're higher,; Wiggle 'til you vomit fire
And now the heart is filled with gold; As if it was a purse.; But, oh, what kind of love is this; Which goes from bad to worse?
They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table.
I could say that I'd be faithful, I could say it in one sweet, easy breath; But to you that would be cruelty and to me it surely would be death.
I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech
You think you can hide but you're never alone,; Ask Lot what he thought when his wife turned to stone.
I got new eyes ; Everything looks far away
Has the record been breaking,; Did the needle just skip
Here is your throat back; Thanks for the loan
The sun's not yellow it's chicken
That's how it is when things disintegrate
Well, you're on your own, you always were,; In a land of wolves and thieves.
If this is love then gimme more; And more and more and more and more.
I just can't fit; Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
Just like you I'm wondrin' what I'm doin' here.; Just like you I'm wondrin' what's goin' on.
Ain't complaining 'bout what I got; Seen better times, but who has not?
I must be guilty of something,; You just whisper it into my ear.
Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory
Praise be to Nero's Neptune; The Titanic sails at dawn; And everybody's shouting; Which Side Are You On?
Everything passes,; Everything changes,; Just do what you think you should do.
Talk about perfection, I ain't never seen none
What happened to the real you, you've been captured but by whom?
We sat in an empty theater and we kissed,; I asked ya please to cross me off-a your list.
