I must admit I felt a little uneasy;
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe

I thought somehow that I would be spared this fate

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.

Now there's spiritual warfare and flesh and blood breaking down.;
Ya either got faith or ya got unbelief and there ain't no neutral ground.

I look into the eyes of my merciful friend And then I ask myself, is this the end? Memories linger, sad yet sweet And I think of the souls in heaven who will meet

All my friends have told me;
If I hang around with you;
That I'll go blind

It ain't my cup of meat.

Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,;
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,;
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,;
Let me forget about today until tomorrow.

I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings, And I've never been too impressed.

Don't follow leaders;
Watch the parkin' meters

Somethin' there is about you that I can't quite put my finger on.

You're the other half of what I am, you're the missing piece

And every one of them words rang true;
And glowed like burnin' coal;
Pourin' off of every page;
Like it was written in my soul from me to you

My heart's in the Highlands at the break of dawn;
By the beautiful lake of the Black Swan;
Big white clouds, like chariots that swing down low;
Well my heart's in the Highlands;
Only place left to go

Everybody's wearing a disguise;
To hide what they've got left behind their eyes

Sooner or later, one of us must know;
That I really did try to get close to you

I just want you to know;
I can see through your masks

I'm walking through streets that are dead

Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.

I got nothing left to burn

How did I meet you? I don't know.

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

Somebody's got to find your trail,;
I guess it must be up to me.

I like the cool way you look at me,;
Everything about you is bringing me;
Misery.

Wealth is a filthy rag;
So erotic so unpatriotic;
So wrapped up in the American flag

Louise, she's all right, she's just near;
She's delicate and seems like the mirror;
But she just makes it all too concise and too clear;
That Johanna's not here

Lay down your weary tune, lay down,;
Lay down the song you strum,;
And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings;
No voice can hope to hum.

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

There's always some new stranger sneakin' glances,;
Some trigger-happy fool willin' to take chances

And every time you get this close;
It makes me want to scream

Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.

I'm sick of love but I'm in the thick of it

The sky is trembling, And I must leave.

Go melt back into the night, babe,;
Everything inside is made of stone.;
There's nothing in here moving, An' anyway I'm not alone.

Don't you know there's nothing new that's under the sun?;
Well, there ain't no man righteous, no not one.

time is running backwards

It's so impossible to even learn the tune.

Without freedom of speech, I might be in the swamp.

Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues;
You can tell by the way she smiles

You were snow, you were rain;
You were striped, you were plain,;

False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin,;
Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in.

Oh my name it is nothin';
My age it means less

She's got everything she needs,;
She's an artist, she don't look back

Senor, senor, let's disconnect these cables,;
Overturn these tables.;
This place don't make sense to me no more.

If you want to live easy Baby pack your clothes with mine

When the last rays of daylight go down;
Buddy, you'll roll no more;
I can hear the church bells ringing in the yard;
I wonder who they're ringing for

Now at midnight all the agents;
And the superhuman crew;
Come out and round up everyone;
That knows more than they do

I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too";
He said, "You're not Him"

Goodnight, my love, may the lord have mercy on us all.

the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming

Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder

In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed,;
Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features.

there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden

If you get close to her, kiss her once for me

Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats;
Too noble to neglect;
Deceived me into thinking;
I had something to protect

Oh what dear daughter 'neath the sun;
Would treat a father so,;
To wait upon him hand and foot;
And always tell him, "No"?

It's too hot to sleep time is running away

Oh it's rush hour now;
On the wheel and the plow;
And the sun is going down;
Upon the sacred cow.

I can't provide for you no easy answers,;
Who are you that I should have to lie?
