I don't need any reminder; To know how much I really care
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
Those are the hill of heaven, my love; You and I'll never know
Most of the time; I can't even be sure; If she was ever with me; Or if I was with her.
I'm walking through streets that are dead
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
Well, the chances are against it and the odds are slim,; That he'll live by the rules that the world makes for him
Reality has always had too many heads
I finally realize there's no room for regret
Someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody
you remind me of something that used to be; somethin' that crossed over from another century
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast;
Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last.
I got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles,; I think maybe we'd better leave each other alone.
It's many a guard; That stands around smilin',; Holdin' his club; Like he was a king.
I couldn't see what you could show me; Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
Well my nerves are exploding and my body's tense; I feel like the whole world got me pinned up against the fence
Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties; Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
That's how it is when things disintegrate
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
They tell me everything is gonna be all right; But I don't know what "all right" even means
I know all about poison, I know all about fiery darts,; I don't care how rough the road is, show me where it starts,; Whatever pleases You, tell it to my heart.
My head tells me it's time to make a change; But my heart is telling me I love ya but you're strange.
You're gonna have to serve somebody.
All he believes are his eyes, And his eyes, they just tell him lies
Down the highway, down the tracks, down the road to ecstasy,; I followed you beneath the stars, hounded by your memory,; And all your ragin' glory.
Oh, baby, that god you been prayin' to; Is gonna give ya back what you're wishin' on someone else
I thought somehow that I would be spared this fate
I can change, I swear, oh, oh,; See what you can do.; I can make it through,; You can make it too.
I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech
She's got everything she needs,; She's an artist, she don't look back
Oh ev'ry foe that ever I faced
The cause was there before we came.
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,; And the dust of rumors covers me.
Some things are too hot to touch; The human mind can only stand so much
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.
I must admit I felt a little uneasy; When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
When destruction cometh swiftly; And there's no time to say a fare-thee-well,; Have you decided whether you want to be; In heaven or in hell?
An' here I sit so patiently; Waiting to find out what price; You have to pay to get out of; Going through all these things twice.
You're the one I've been looking for,; You're the one that's got the key.; But I can't figure out whether I'm too good for you; Or you're too good for me.
Now, a very great man once said; That some people rob you with a fountain pen.; It didn't take too long to find out; Just what he was talkin' about.
Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
Lot of water under the bridge, Lot of other stuff too; Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through
I've already ripped out the phones, honey.; You can't walk the streets in a war
Oh, some of us'll end up; In St. Cloud Prison,; And some of us'll wind up, To be lawyers and things
She said, "Be easy, baby,; There ain't nothin' worth stealin' in here."
Somethin' there is about you that I can't quite put my finger on.
I see people who are supposed to know better standin' around like furniture.
Do I need your permission to turn the other cheek?; If you can read my mind, why must I speak?
Done so many evil things in the name of love, it's a crying shame; I never did see no fire that could put out a flame.
How did I meet you? I don't know.
Did I miss the mark or; Over-step the line; That only you could see?
Don't you cry and don't you die and don't you burn
What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood
Last night I danced with a stranger; But she just reminded me you were the one
People disagreeing on all just about everything, yeah,; Makes you stop and all wonder why.
On the rising curve,; Where the ways of nature will test every nerve,; You won't get anything you don't deserve,; Where we were born in time.
