Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take; To find dignity
I'd never say; That I done it the way; That you'd have liked me to.
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.
The sun's not yellow it's chicken
May you always know the truth; And see the lights surrounding you.
What was it you wanted; When you were kissing my check?
We never thought we could ever get old.; We thought we could sit forever in fun
Oh the fishes will laugh; As they swim out of the path; And the seagulls they'll be smiling.
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past; I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
Praise be to Nero's Neptune; The Titanic sails at dawn; And everybody's shouting; Which Side Are You On?
Whatever you gonna do,; Please do it fast.
You know, news of you has come down the line; Even before ya came in the door.; They say in your father's house, there's many mansions; Each one of them got a fireproof floor.
We're both just one too many mornings; An' a thousand miles behind.
Sooner or later, one of us must know; That I really did try to get close to you
Darkness at the break of noon
People disagreeing everywhere you look,; Makes you wanna stop and read a book.
A million faces at my feet; But all I see are dark eyes
Every time you leave and go off someplace,; Things fall to pieces in my face
Done so many evil things in the name of love, it's a crying shame; I never did see no fire that could put out a flame.
Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder
Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line,; Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine.
What good am I if I say foolish things; And I laugh in the face of what sorrow brings; And I just turn my back while you silently die,; What good am I?
May you build a ladder to the stars; And climb on every rung.
This is the key to the kingdom and this is the town; This is the blind horse that leads you around
there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden
Can you tell me what we're waiting for, senor?
Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road
you remind me of something that used to be; somethin' that crossed over from another century
Just like you I'm wondrin' what I'm doin' here.; Just like you I'm wondrin' what's goin' on.
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast;
Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last.
I could say that I'd be faithful, I could say it in one sweet, easy breath; But to you that would be cruelty and to me it surely would be death.
Well, there's voices in the night trying to be heard; I'm sitting here listening to every mind polluting word
Trees that've stood for a thousand years suddenly will fall.
For the loser now; Will be later to win
Gonna sleep down in the parlor; And relive my dreams
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.
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore; You may not see me tomorrow.
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
Now you stand here expectin' me to remember somethin' you forgot to say
Do you ever wonder just what God requires?; You think He's just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires.
It ain't my cup of meat.
Talk about perfection, I ain't never seen none
They got him on conspiracy, they were never sure who with.
If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry,; What good am I?
Oh, man has invented his doom, First step was touching the moon.
Can't you make any sound?
Seen the arrow on the doorpost; Saying, "This land is condemned; All the way from New Orleans; To Jerusalem."
I don't need any reminder; To know how much I really care
Well my nerves are exploding and my body's tense; I feel like the whole world got me pinned up against the fence
And the words that are used; For to get the ship confused; Will not be understood as they're spoken.
Gon' walk on down that dirt road 'til I'm right beside the sun
And I can't let go, won't let go, and I can't let go no more.
I'm goin' down to Tennessee,; Get me a truck 'r somethin'.; Gonna save my money and rip it up!
Nations are angry, cursed are some,; People are expecting a false peace to come.
In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection
You'd better do somethin' quick; She's your lover now.
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,; All the pigeons gonna run to him.
