take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind
If this is love then gimme more; And more and more and more and more.
In the fury of the moment I can see the Master's hand; In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand.
The world of illusion is at my door
If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry,; What good am I?
The way is long but the end is near, Already the fiesta has begun
I don't know why I love her but I just can't stop
you remind me of something that used to be; somethin' that crossed over from another century
she's true, like ice, like fire
We pointed out the way to go; And scratched your name in sand,; Though you just thought it was nothing more; Than a place for you to stand.
I wasn't born to lose you.
No time to suffer or blink; And no time to think
I'll remember you; When the wind blows through the piney wood.
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past; I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
Don't follow leaders; Watch the parkin' meters
A saxophone someplace far off played
People on the platforms; Waiting for the trains; I can hear their hearts a-beatin'; Like pendulums swinging on chains
Everybody's wearing a disguise; To hide what they've got left behind their eyes
People disagreeing on all just about everything, yeah,; Makes you stop and all wonder why.
An' here I sit so patiently; Waiting to find out what price; You have to pay to get out of; Going through all these things twice.
Oh, baby, that god you been prayin' to; Is gonna give ya back what you're wishin' on someone else
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.
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me,; See like me or be like me.
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
It was true that in his later years he would not carry a gun; "I'm around too many children," he'd say, "they should never know of one."
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
If there's a poor boy on the street,; Then let him have my seat; 'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
And if my thought-dreams could be seen, They'd probably put my head in a guillotine
Well, I asked for something to eat; I'm hungry as a hog; So I get brown rice, seaweed; And a dirty hot dog
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
I was just too stubborn to ever be governed by enforced insanity
When we meet again; Introduced as friends; Please don't let on that you knew me when; I was hungry and it was your world.
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,; All the pigeons gonna run to him.
Cities on fire, phones out of order
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
I was in a whirlwind, now I'm in some better place.
You're the one I've been looking for,; You're the one that's got the key.; But I can't figure out whether I'm too good for you; Or you're too good for me.
In the day of confession; We cannot mock a soul.; Oh, when there's too much of nothing,; No one has control.
I need a dump truck mama to unload my head
I just want you to know; I can see through your masks
It's too bright a light, he said, "For anybody's eyes,; If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."
Always on the outside of whatever side there was,; When they asked him why it had to be that way, "Well," he answered, "just because."
I'm goin' down to Tennessee,; Get me a truck 'r somethin'.; Gonna save my money and rip it up!
I wouldn't be ashamed to be seen with you anywhere.
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
You can pound on the President's gate; But you oughta know by now it's gonna be too late.
Silver and gold; Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
Either I'm too sensitive or else I'm gettin' soft.
She said, "Be easy, baby,; There ain't nothin' worth stealin' in here."
Well my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
Look into infinity, all you see is trouble.
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
I can tell you fancy, I can tell you plain; You give something up for everything you gain
I still can remember the way that you smiled
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.
