While my conscience explodes; The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
And I can't let go, won't let go, and I can't let go no more.
Well, I try my best; To be just like I am,; But everybody wants you; To be just like them.
Somethin' there is about you that I can't quite put my finger on.
Lost time is not found again
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
I'm goin' down to Tennessee,; Get me a truck 'r somethin'.; Gonna save my money and rip it up!
Turn your back, wash your hands,; There's always someone who understands
there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden
Don't trust me to show you the truth; When the truth may only be ashes and dust.
to live outside the law, you must be honest
Our conversation was short and sweet; It nearly swept me off-a my feet.
Too many thoughts get in the way in the day
May you have a strong foundation; When the winds of changes shift
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously; But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
You were trying to break into another world; A world I never knew.; I always kind of wondered; If you ever made it through.
If I had wings and I could fly,; I know where I would go.
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells; I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
But I mean no harm nor put fault, On anyone that lives in a vault, But it's alright, Ma, if I can't please him.
I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too"; He said, "You're not Him"
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats; Too noble to neglect; Deceived me into thinking; I had something to protect
I hate myself for lovin' you and the weakness that it showed; You were just a painted face on a trip down Suicide Road
Satan whispers to ya, "Well, I don't want to bore ya,; But when ya get tired of the Miss So-and-so I got another woman for ya."
I can't provide for you no easy answers,; Who are you that I should have to lie?
People ask about you; I didn't tell them everything I knew
He bought me with a price,; Freed me from the pit,; Full of emptiness and wrath; And the fire that burns in it.
I was all right 'til I fell in love with you
it is not he or she or them or it; That you belong to.
In the fury of the moment I can see the Master's hand; In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand.
Everything passes,; Everything changes,; Just do what you think you should do.
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
I got new eyes ; Everything looks far away
She's a hypnotist collector
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 love for her is taking such a long time to die
He said, Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?; I said, I got no money. He said, That ain't necessary.
Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted
Don't trust me to show you beauty; When beauty may only turn to rust.
Here is your throat back; Thanks for the loan
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.
When you know as well as me; You'd rather see me paralyzed
Oh, man has invented his doom, First step was touching the moon.
But the magician is quicker and his game; Is much thicker than blood and blacker than ink
For the loser now; Will be later to win
They say ev'rything can be replaced
Do you ever wonder just what God requires?; You think He's just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires.
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
Go 'way from my window,; Leave at your own chosen speed.
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours
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
How does it feel
It's too bright a light, he said, "For anybody's eyes,; If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."
Oh, ev'ry thought that's strung a knot in my mind,; I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung.
I got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles,; I think maybe we'd better leave each other alone.
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me,; See like me or be like me.
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.
I stood unwound beneath the skies; And clouds unbound by laws.
Do I need your permission to turn the other cheek?; If you can read my mind, why must I speak?
Oh, but if I had the stars from the darkest night,; And the diamonds from the deepest ocean,; I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss,; For that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'.
