I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down
Does she know I still care?
I finally realize there's no room for regret
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
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.
For the loser now;
Will be later to win
Guess it's too late to say the things to you;
That you needed to hear me say.
In the fury of the moment I can see the Master's hand;
In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand.
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
I was all right 'til I fell in love with you
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.;
Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
I been hangin’ on threads
I been playin’ it straight
Now, I’ve just got to cut loose
Before it gets late
It's so impossible to even learn the tune.
Not one more night, not one more kiss,;
Not this time baby, no more of this,;
Takes too much skill, takes too much will,;
It's revealing.
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
Those are the hill of heaven, my love;
You and I'll never know
We always did feel the same,;
We just saw it from a different point of view
This time tomorrow I'll know you better;
When my memory is not so short.
You could ride like Annie Oakley,;
You could shoot like Belle Starr.
Three fellas crawlin' on their way back to work,;
Nobody stops to ask why.
It's mighty funny;
the end of time has just begun
The man in me will hide sometimes to keep from bein' seen,;
But that's just because he doesn't want to turn into some machine.
I'm going back to New York City;
I do believe I've had enough
I'm already there in my mind;
And that's good enough for now
I must admit I felt a little uneasy;
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
Dark Beauty;
Meet me at the border late tonight
Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues;
You can tell by the way she smiles
People tell me it's a sin;
To know and feel too much within.
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke
No time to suffer or blink;
And no time to think
The drinks are ready and the dogs are going to war
If there's a poor boy on the street,;
Then let him have my seat;
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
Do I need your permission to turn the other cheek?;
If you can read my mind, why must I speak?
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
People ask about you;
I didn't tell them everything I knew
I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too";
He said, "You're not Him"
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.
Everybody's wearing a disguise;
To hide what they've got left behind their eyes
Look into infinity, all you see is trouble.
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
I've been walking through the middle of nowhere;
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
She once was a true love of mine
Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line,;
Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine.
At dawn my lover comes to me;
And tells me of her dreams;
With no attempts to shovel the glimpse;
Into the ditch of what each one means
Go 'way from my window,;
Leave at your own chosen speed.
Let me ask you one question;
Is your money that good
Every time you leave and go off someplace,;
Things fall to pieces in my face
He said, Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?;
I said, I got no money. He said, That ain't necessary.
Well, I got a harmonica job, begun to play,;
Blowin' my lungs out for a dollar a day.
I don't want to fake you out
Mama, take this badge off of me
She knows where I'd like to be;
But it doesn't matter.
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
Took a stranger to teach me, to look into justice's beautiful face;
And to see an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
I'm walking through streets that are dead
If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry,;
What good am I?
