Don't trust me to show you love; When my love may be only lust.
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past; I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
I must be guilty of something,; You just whisper it into my ear.
People tell me it's a sin; To know and feel too much within.
Ever since you walked right in, the circle's been complete
Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory
Today on the countryside it was a-hotter than a crotch
Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted
Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood.; He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good.
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.
The truth was obscure, too profound and too pure, to live it you have to explode.
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
I don't mind a reasonable amount of trouble
All the people we used to know; Are an illusion to me now
goodbye's too good a word, gal; so I'll just say fare thee well
Can you tell me what we're waiting for, senor?
You breathed on me and made my life a richer one to live,; When I was deep in poverty you taught me how to give
I looked at my watch; I looked at my wrist; I punched myself in the face with my fist
And you never ask questions; When God's on your side.
But even the president of the United States, Sometimes must have, To stand naked.
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting; That's hanging in the Louvre
They got him on conspiracy, they were never sure who with.
Everything passes,; Everything changes,; Just do what you think you should do.
Has the record been breaking,; Did the needle just skip
How did I meet you? I don't know.
Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties; Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
I need a steam shovel mama to keep away the dead
Don’t think twice, it’s all right
Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love.
No time to suffer or blink; And no time to think
People disagreeing on all just about everything, yeah,; Makes you stop and all wonder why.
You were snow, you were rain; You were striped, you were plain,;
The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face
They say you're usin' voodoo, I seen your feet walk by themselves
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss.
With haunted hearts through the heat and cold
We never thought we could ever get old
When I met you, baby,; You didn't show no visible scars.
Let the wind blow low, let the wind blow high.; One day the little boy and the little girl were both baked in a pie.
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
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
Well, I wake in the morning, Fold my hands and pray for rain.; I got a head full of ideas, That are drivin' me insane.
This time tomorrow I'll know you better; When my memory is not so short.
When you cease to exist, then who will you blame?; I've tried my best to love you, but I cannot play this game; Your best friend and my worst enemy is one and the same
I just want you to know; I can see through your masks
Every brain is civilized,; Every nerve is analyzed,; Everything is criticized when you are in need.
Don't have to look no further, you're the soul of many things.
The door has closed forevermore
If indeed there ever was a door
Turn your back, wash your hands,; There's always someone who understands
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.
He said, Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?; I said, I got no money. He said, That ain't necessary.
The sky is erupting, I must go where it's quiet.
I fought with my twin, that enemy within, 'til both of us fell by the way.
Senor, senor, let's disconnect these cables,; Overturn these tables.; This place don't make sense to me no more.
Sooner or later, one of us must know; That I really did try to get close to you
You say you love me; And you're thinkin' of me,; But you know you could be wrong.
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.
He looks so truthful, is this how he feels; Trying to peel the moon and expose it
For all eternity I think I will remember; That icy wind that's howling in your eye.
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.
