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.
Do I need your permission to turn the other cheek?;
If you can read my mind, why must I speak?
Yes, I see you on your window ledge;
But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge
Don't trust me to show you the truth;
When the truth may only be ashes and dust.
Well my house is on fire, burning to the sky
I still can remember the way that you smiled
We're both just one too many mornings;
An' a thousand miles behind.
My love she speaks like silence
Well, I try my best;
To be just like I am,;
But everybody wants you;
To be just like them.
don't criticize;
what you can't understand.
You don't need a weather man;
To know which way the wind blows
Today on the countryside it was a-hotter than a crotch
How can I explain?;
Oh, it's so hard to get on
I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch.
Every day of the year's like playin' Russian roulette
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
It was gravity which pulled us down and destiny which broke us apart
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast;
Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last.
I'm walking through streets that are dead
And then you told me later, as I apologized;
That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
Do you know where we're headin'?;
Lincoln County Road or Armageddon?
I must be guilty of something,;
You just whisper it into my ear.
And if my thought-dreams could be seen, They'd probably put my head in a guillotine
Hot chili peppers in the blistering sun
If the bible is right, the world will explode
If God's on our side;
He'll stop the next war.
What drives me to you is what drives me insane.
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
Now the moon is almost hidden;
The stars are beginning to hide;
The fortunetelling lady;
Has even taken all her things inside
Through the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales
Any day now, any day now,;
I shall be released.
Trees that've stood for a thousand years suddenly will fall.
Everything passes,;
Everything changes,;
Just do what you think you should do.
And they're breaking down the distance;
Between right and wrong.
it is not he or she or them or it;
That you belong to.
I feel nothing for their game where beauty goes unrecognized
The sky is erupting, I must go where it's quiet.
Don’t think twice, it’s all right
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
Somethin' there is about you that I can't quite put my finger on.
And I, I don't mind the pain;
Don't mind the driving rain;
I know I will sustain;
'Cause I believe in you.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table.
Ring them bells, for the time that flies,;
For the child that cries;
When innocence dies.
Your mind is your temple, keep it beautiful and free,;
Don't let an egg get laid in it by something you can't see.
I see people who are supposed to know better standin' around like furniture.
I'll give you more gold;
Than your apron can hold;
If you'll only let your hair hang low
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
I looked at my watch;
I looked at my wrist;
I punched myself in the face with my fist
I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech
It's many a guard;
That stands around smilin',;
Holdin' his club;
Like he was a king.
I like the cool way you look at me,;
Everything about you is bringing me;
Misery.
I'll see you later when I'm not so out of my head,;
Maybe next time I'll let the dead bury the dead.
If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise, remind me to show you the, scars.
Don't have to look no further, you're the soul of many things.
You were trying to break into another world;
A world I never knew.;
I always kind of wondered;
If you ever made it through.
For I know that you know that I know that you know;
Something is tearing up your mind.
