There was music in the cafes at night; And revolution in the air.
you remind me of something that used to be; somethin' that crossed over from another century
Don't you know there's nothing new that's under the sun?; Well, there ain't no man righteous, no not one.
Betrayed by a kiss on a cool night of bliss; In the valley of the missing link
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind; You could have done better but I don't mind; You just kinda wasted my precious time
Time is all I have to give
Build a fire, throw on logs; And listen to it hiss; And let it burn, burn, burn, burn; On a night like this.
Well, they're not showing any lights tonight; And there's no moon.
I was all right 'til I fell in love with you
In the fury of the moment I can see the Master's hand; In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand.
If there's a poor boy on the street,; Then let him have my seat; 'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
That long black cloud is comin' down
Oh, ev'ry thought that's strung a knot in my mind,; I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung.
Gonna sleep down in the parlor; And relive my dreams
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.
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 looked at my watch; I looked at my wrist; I punched myself in the face with my fist
Just like you I'm wondrin' what I'm doin' here.; Just like you I'm wondrin' what's goin' on.
I'm sick of love but I'm in the thick of it
Well, I got a harmonica job, begun to play,; Blowin' my lungs out for a dollar a day.
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
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."
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
I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail,; Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail,; Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn.
Well, he can be fascinating, he can be dull,; He can ride down Niagara Falls in the barrels of your skull.
Don't the moon look good, mama, Shinin' through the trees?
Handy dandy, he got a basket of flowers and a bag full or sorrow
People on the platforms; Waiting for the trains; I can hear their hearts a-beatin'; Like pendulums swinging on chains
Sooner or later, one of us must know; That I really did try to get close to you
Everybody's doin' something,; I heard it in a dream,; But when there's too much of nothing,; It just makes a fella mean.
Will I ever learn that there'll be no peace, that the war won't cease; Until He returns?
the cops don't need you; and man they expect the same
You lose yourself, you reappear
They say you're usin' voodoo, I seen your feet walk by themselves
It's for myself and my friends my stories are sung.
But I will be back, I will survive,; You'll never get rid of me as long as you're alive.
People ask about you; I didn't tell them everything I knew
I just can't fit; Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
All the people we used to know; Are an illusion to me now
Did I miss the mark or; Over-step the line; That only you could see?
Here is your throat back; Thanks for the loan
Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial
Turn your back, wash your hands,; There's always someone who understands
Love is so simple, to quote a phrase,; You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days.
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
No knife could ever cut our love apart
Oh ev'ry foe that ever I faced
The cause was there before we came.
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.
Oh, baby, that god you been prayin' to; Is gonna give ya back what you're wishin' on someone else
All the laughter is just making me sad
A saxophone someplace far off played
time is running backwards
Don't know if I saw you, if I would kiss you or kill you; It probably wouldn't matter to you anyhow
People are crazy and times are strange
Nobody feels any pain
What was it you wanted; When you were kissing my check?
Democracy don't rule the world,; You'd better get that in your head.; This world is ruled by violence; But I guess that's better left unsaid.
