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?
You're so damn nonchalant; But it's your mind that I want.
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.
Now, when I was just a bawlin' child,; I saw what I wanted to be
Silver and gold; Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
Won't you descend from the throne, from where you sit?
The angels play on their horns all day,; The whole earth in progression seems to pass by.; But does anyone hear the music they play,; Does anyone even try?
Wealth is a filthy rag; So erotic so unpatriotic; So wrapped up in the American flag
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
In the hills of mystery,; In the foggy web of destiny,; You can have what's left of me,; Where we were born in time.
Don't know if I saw you, if I would kiss you or kill you; It probably wouldn't matter to you anyhow
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.
Betrayed by a kiss on a cool night of bliss; In the valley of the missing link
It's so impossible to even learn the tune.
I must admit I felt a little uneasy; When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
And, when I was through; I filled up my shoe; And brought it to you.
You say my kisses are not like his,; But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is.
I'll remember you; At the end of the trail,; I had so much left to do,; I had so little time to fail.
But even the president of the United States, Sometimes must have, To stand naked.
Am I no longer a part of your plans or your dreams?
At the corrida we'll sit in the shade; And watch the young torero stand alone.; We'll drink tequila where our grandfathers stayed; When they rode with Villa into Torreon.
I don't need no alibi when I'm spending time with you.; I've heard all of them rumors and you have heard 'em too.
What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood
But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency
Boys in the street beginning to play; Girls like birds flying away
Can you tell me what we're waiting for, senor?
people don’t live or die, people just float
Hot chili peppers in the blistering sun
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table.
We heard the Sermon on the Mount and I knew it was too complex,; It didn't amount to anything more than what the broken glass reflects.
She knows there's no success like failure; And that failure's no success at all.
People on the platforms; Waiting for the trains; I can hear their hearts a-beatin'; Like pendulums swinging on chains
You're the one I adore, come over here and give me more
You got a lotta nerve; To say you are my friend
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
Three fellas crawlin' on their way back to work,; Nobody stops to ask why.
For all eternity I think I will remember; That icy wind that's howling in your eye.
I'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to me
I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring.
Too many thoughts get in the way in the day
if there's an original thought out there, I could use it right now
Since every pleasure's got an edge of pain; Pay for your ticket and don't complain
I got nothing left to burn
Time passes slowly when you're lost in a dream.
Now, I can't go back to what was, baby,; I can't unring the bell.
I just can't fit; Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
With haunted hearts through the heat and cold
We never thought we could ever get old
Drinkin' man listens to the voice he hears; In a crowded room full of covered up mirrors; Lookin' into the lost forgotten years; For dignity
Don't trust me to show you the truth; When the truth may only be ashes and dust.
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.
Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted
Well, I try my best; To be just like I am,; But everybody wants you; To be just like them.
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed,; Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features.
Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed
Put your hand on my head, baby, do I have a temperature?
You don't need a weather man; To know which way the wind blows
