Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood.; He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good.
If he needs a third eye he just grows it
I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies; I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
My children will go, As soon as they grow.; Well, there ain't nothing here now to hold them.
I'll give you more gold; Than your apron can hold; If you'll only let your hair hang low
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take; To find dignity
I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch.
Don’t think twice, it’s all right
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
Won't you dance with me?; I'm fallin' in love with you.
You were trying to break into another world; A world I never knew.; I always kind of wondered; If you ever made it through.
They said it was the land of milk and honey,; now they say it's the land of money.; Who ever thought they could ever make that stick.
Did I miss the mark or; Over-step the line; That only you could see?
All the tired horses in the sun; How'm I supposed to get any ridin' done? Hmm.
There are those who worship loneliness, I'm not one of them
Well, the road is rocky and the hillside's mud; Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
No time to suffer or blink; And no time to think
Pardon, monsieur," the desk clerk says,; Carefully removes his fez,; "Am I hearin' you right?"
Some things in life, it gets too late to learn
The night passed away so quickly; It always does when you're with me.
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.
Just do your thing, you'll be king; If dogs run free.
Those are the hill of heaven, my love; You and I'll never know
Can't you hear that motor turnin'?; Automobile comin' into style
Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain
Someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody
I'm goin' down to Tennessee,; Get me a truck 'r somethin'.; Gonna save my money and rip it up!
Nobody feels any pain
Guess it's too late to say the things to you; That you needed to hear me say.
Last night I danced with a stranger; But she just reminded me you were the one
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin,; Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in.
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
For all eternity I think I will remember; That icy wind that's howling in your eye.
Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that it passes through
If the bible is right, the world will explode
If I ever lose her I will go insane; I go half crazy when she calls my name
I fought with my twin, that enemy within, 'til both of us fell by the way.
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
Ain't complaining 'bout what I got; Seen better times, but who has not?
Mama, take this badge off of me
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours
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
Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road
You got a lotta nerve; To say you are my friend
Talk about perfection, I ain't never seen none
So long, New York.; Howdy, East Orange.
the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
Someone else is speakin' with my mouth, but I'm listening only to my heart.
What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood
Your magnetic movements; Still capture the minutes I'm in.
Well I don't dare close my eyes and I don't dare wink; Maybe in the next life I'll be able to hear myself think
take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind
Well, you're on your own, you always were,; In a land of wolves and thieves.
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.
