Now the rainman gave me two cures,; Then he said, "Jump right in."; The one was Texas medicine,; The other was just railroad gin.
People ask about you; I didn't tell them everything I knew
But does anyone hear the music they play
Does anyone even try?
Guess it's too late to say the things to you; That you needed to hear me say.
You were snow, you were rain; You were striped, you were plain,;
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties; Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
Well, he can be fascinating, he can be dull,; He can ride down Niagara Falls in the barrels of your skull.
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take; To find dignity
Did I miss the mark or; Over-step the line; That only you could see?
You can pound on the President's gate; But you oughta know by now it's gonna be too late.
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 shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
Do I need your permission to turn the other cheek?; If you can read my mind, why must I speak?
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
If God's on our side; He'll stop the next war.
My children will go, As soon as they grow.; Well, there ain't nothing here now to hold them.
We're both just one too many mornings; An' a thousand miles behind.
It's the ways of the flesh to war against the spirit; Twenty-four hours a day you can feel it and you can hear it; Using all the devices under the sun.
Well, they're not showing any lights tonight; And there's no moon.
The night passed away so quickly; It always does when you're with me.
I've been walking through the middle of nowhere; Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
I'm already there in my mind; And that's good enough for now
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
They tell me everything is gonna be all right; But I don't know what "all right" even means
Well, I got a harmonica job, begun to play,; Blowin' my lungs out for a dollar a day.
Dark Beauty; Meet me at the border late tonight
If this is love then gimme more; And more and more and more and more.
you remind me of something that used to be; somethin' that crossed over from another century
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.
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,; And the dust of rumors covers me.
The way is long but the end is near, Already the fiesta has begun
Drinkin' man listens to the voice he hears; In a crowded room full of covered up mirrors; Lookin' into the lost forgotten years; For dignity
I don't wanna be hers, I wanna be yours.
I'm going out of my mind; With a pain that stops and starts
The pump don't work; 'Cause the vandals took the handles
They don't want me around; 'Cause I believe in you.
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
Trees that've stood for a thousand years suddenly will fall.
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
May you have a strong foundation; When the winds of changes shift
I must admit I felt a little uneasy; When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
You have explained every mystery.; What can I do for You?
You breathed on me and made my life a richer one to live,; When I was deep in poverty you taught me how to give
Someone else is speakin' with my mouth, but I'm listening only to my heart.
Gon' walk on down that dirt road 'til I'm right beside the sun
You're the other half of what I am, you're the missing piece
I want to thank You, Lord,; I just want to thank You, Lord,; Thank You, Lord.
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
don't criticize; what you can't understand.
You got a lotta nerve; To say you are my friend
You don't want a love that's pure; You wanna drown love; You want a watered-down love
I am hanging in the balance, of the reality of man; like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand
My conscience is beginning to bother me today.
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
Do you know where we're headin'?; Lincoln County Road or Armageddon?
They used to grow food in Kansas; Now they want to grow it on the moon and eat it raw.; I can see the day coming when even your home garden; Is gonna be against the law.
