One more cup of coffee 'fore I go; To the valley below
Three fellas crawlin' on their way back to work,; Nobody stops to ask why.
Son, this ain't a dream no more, it's the real thing.
I feel nothing for their game where beauty goes unrecognized
as long as the world keeps a-turnin', I just keep a-turnin' too.
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
I couldn't see where we were goin'; But you said you knew an' I took your word
Guess it's too late to say the things to you; That you needed to hear me say.
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
You say my kisses are not like his,; But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is.
You say you love me; And you're thinkin' of me,; But you know you could be wrong.
It's mighty funny; the end of time has just begun
It was gravity which pulled us down and destiny which broke us apart
Soon as a man is born, you know the sparks begin to fly, He gets wise in his own eyes and he's made to believe a lie.
Put your ear to the train tracks, put your ear to the ground,; You ever feel like you're never alone even when there's nobody else around?; Since the beginning of the universe man's been cursed by trouble.
The way is long but the end is near, Already the fiesta has begun
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells; I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
Well, I spied a girl and before she could leave,; "Let's go and play Adam and Eve."; I took her by the hand and my heart it was thumpin'; When she said, "Hey man, you crazy or sumpin',; You see what happened last time they started."
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.; Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted
I'll remember you; When the wind blows through the piney wood.
I see, I see lovers in the meadow; I see, I see silhouettes in the window; I watch them 'til they're gone and they leave me hanging on ; To a shadow
All my friends have told me; If I hang around with you; That I'll go blind
Let's try to get beneath the surface waste, girl,; No more booby traps and bombs,; No more decadence and charm,; No more affection that's misplaced, girl
I can't provide for you no easy answers,; Who are you that I should have to lie?
I could say that I'd be faithful, I could say it in one sweet, easy breath; But to you that would be cruelty and to me it surely would be death.
Don't you know there's nothing new that's under the sun?; Well, there ain't no man righteous, no not one.
She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe; "I thought you'd never say hello," she said; "You look like the silent type."
Goodnight, my love, may the lord have mercy on us all.
Since every pleasure's got an edge of pain; Pay for your ticket and don't complain
If this is love then gimme more; And more and more and more and more.
I just want you to know; I can see through your masks
The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder
There's always some new stranger sneakin' glances,; Some trigger-happy fool willin' to take chances
Boys in the street beginning to play; Girls like birds flying away
That's how it is when things disintegrate
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.
If you're lookin' to get silly; You better go back to from where you came
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
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.
I wish that for just one time; You could stand inside my shoes; You'd know what a drag it is; To see you
Well, You've done it all and there's no more anyone can pretend to do.; What can I do for You?
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.
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.
We pointed out the way to go; And scratched your name in sand,; Though you just thought it was nothing more; Than a place for you to stand.
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.
What was it you wanted; When you were kissing my check?
If you're a doctor, I need a shot of love.
People disagreeing everywhere you look,; Makes you wanna stop and read a book.
Can you tell me what we're waiting for, senor?
The world of illusion is at my door
My children will go, As soon as they grow.; Well, there ain't nothing here now to hold them.
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
Could you ever be true?
I'm going out of my mind; With a pain that stops and starts
You don't want a love that's pure; You wanna drown love; You want a watered-down love
In the home of the brave
Jefferson turnin’ over in his grave
Was that the thunder that I heard?; My head is vibrating, I feel a sharp pain
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.
