The pump don't work; 'Cause the vandals took the handles
In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection
Always on the outside of whatever side there was,; When they asked him why it had to be that way, "Well," he answered, "just because."
She says, "What'll it be?"; I say, "I don't know, you got any soft boiled eggs?"
Do I need your permission to turn the other cheek?; If you can read my mind, why must I speak?
And every time you get this close; It makes me want to scream
If your mem'ry serves you well,; You'll remember you're the one; That called on me to call on them; To get you your favors done.
He said, Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?; I said, I got no money. He said, That ain't necessary.
I don't know why I love her but I just can't stop
I need a dump truck mama to unload my head
I'm glad to see you're still alive, you're lookin' like a saint.
Because something is happening here; But you don't know what it is; Do you, Mister Jones?
She knows there's no success like failure; And that failure's no success at all.
if there's an original thought out there, I could use it right now
You're gonna have to serve somebody.
I'm going out of my mind; With a pain that stops and starts
Well, you're on your own, you always were,; In a land of wolves and thieves.
I'll give you more gold; Than your apron can hold; If you'll only let your hair hang low
You got a lotta nerve; To say you are my friend
Our conversation was short and sweet; It nearly swept me off-a my feet.
We never thought we could ever get old.; We thought we could sit forever in fun
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
Every brain is civilized,; Every nerve is analyzed,; Everything is criticized when you are in need.
If you're lookin' to get silly; You better go back to from where you came
Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road
I'll remember you; When the wind blows through the piney wood.
Someone else is speakin' with my mouth, but I'm listening only to my heart.
Maybe they'll get me and maybe they won't; But not tonight and it won't be here; There are things I could say but I don't; I know the mercy of God must be near
Satan whispers to ya, "Well, I don't want to bore ya,; But when ya get tired of the Miss So-and-so I got another woman for ya."
Never could learn to drink that blood; And call it wine
I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still
Ring them bells, for the time that flies,; For the child that cries; When innocence dies.
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.
I can't help it if I'm lucky.
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
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past; I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
When He rose from the dead, did they believe?
If this is love then gimme more; And more and more and more and more.
Nations are angry, cursed are some,; People are expecting a false peace to come.
People disagreeing on all just about everything, yeah,; Makes you stop and all wonder why.
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin,; Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in.
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.
The night passed away so quickly; It always does when you're with me.
But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency
Pardon, monsieur," the desk clerk says,; Carefully removes his fez,; "Am I hearin' you right?"
It's all been designed, he said, "To make you lose your mind,; And when you go back to find it, there's nothing there to find."
All the people we used to know; Are an illusion to me now
You could make me cry if you don't know.
Ain't no reason to go anywhere.
When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things that remain?
There was music in the cafes at night; And revolution in the air.
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats; Too noble to neglect; Deceived me into thinking; I had something to protect
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the Jack of Hearts
He said his name was Columbus; I just said, "Good luck."
Those are the hill of heaven, my love; You and I'll never know
The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed
