Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed; Dignity never been photographed
I wasn't born to lose you.
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
Well, he can be fascinating, he can be dull,; He can ride down Niagara Falls in the barrels of your skull.
We're going all the way 'til the wheels fall off and burn
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
And you never ask questions; When God's on your side.
For all eternity I think I will remember; That icy wind that's howling in your eye.
You're the one I adore, come over here and give me more
I been hangin’ on threads
I been playin’ it straight
Now, I’ve just got to cut loose
Before it gets late
Yes, I see you on your window ledge; But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge
Oh what dear daughter 'neath the sun; Would treat a father so,; To wait upon him hand and foot; And always tell him, "No"?
Just what do you think you have to guard?
But does anyone hear the music they play
Does anyone even try?
If you're looking for assistance, babe,; Or if you just want some company; Or if you just want a friend you can talk to,; Honey, come and see about me.
Nations are angry, cursed are some,; People are expecting a false peace to come.
All he believes are his eyes, And his eyes, they just tell him lies
Rock me, pretty baby, rock me 'til everything gets real; Rock me for a little while, rock me 'til there's nothing left to feel; And I'll rock you too
I was in a whirlwind, now I'm in some better place.
Last night I danced with a stranger; But she just reminded me you were the one
You can't get to glory by the raising and the lowering of no flag.; Put your goodness next to God's and it comes out like a filthy rag.
Gon' walk on down that dirt road 'til I'm right beside the sun
She was born in spring, but I was born too late
Wiggle 'til you're high, wiggle 'til you're higher,; Wiggle 'til you vomit fire
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.
Has the record been breaking,; Did the needle just skip
I can smile in the face of mankind.; Don't even remember what her lips felt like on mine; Most of the time.
You know, the streets are filled with vipers; Who've lost all ray of hope,; You know, it ain't even safe no more; In the palace of the Pope.
Never could learn to drink that blood; And call it wine
Wallflower, wallflower; Take a chance on me.; Please let me ride you home.
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin,; Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in.
It's too bright a light, he said, "For anybody's eyes,; If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."
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?
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats; Too noble to neglect; Deceived me into thinking; I had something to protect
Lost time is not found again
Whatever you gonna do,; Please do it fast.
Put my tears in a bottle
Screw the top on tight
Everybody's doin' something,; I heard it in a dream,; But when there's too much of nothing,; It just makes a fella mean.
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation; There are no words that need to be said
Dark Beauty; Meet me at the border late tonight
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
Won't you dance with me?; I'm fallin' in love with you.
Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love.
If this is love then gimme more; And more and more and more and more.
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,; That we could sit simply in that room again.
In order to deal in this game, got to make the queen disappear,; It's done with a flick of the wrist.
I must be guilty of something,; You just whisper it into my ear.
I got nothing left to burn
Well my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
May you always know the truth; And see the lights surrounding you.
I was in your presence for an hour or so; Or was it a day? I truly don't know.
And I, I don't mind the pain; Don't mind the driving rain; I know I will sustain; 'Cause I believe in you.
Just do your thing, you'll be king; If dogs run free.
Searching for my double, looking for; Complete evaporation to the core
When you cease to exist, then who will you blame?; I've tried my best to love you, but I cannot play this game; Your best friend and my worst enemy is one and the same
What good am I if I say foolish things; And I laugh in the face of what sorrow brings; And I just turn my back while you silently die,; What good am I?
'Cause he doesn't tell you jokes or fairy tales, say he's got no style.
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
