Do I need your permission to turn the other cheek?; If you can read my mind, why must I speak?
I just can't fit; Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
Now, don't crowd me, lady; Or I'll fill up your shoe
I'm walking through streets that are dead
Some things are too hot to touch; The human mind can only stand so much
Without freedom of speech, I might be in the swamp.
On the rising curve,; Where the ways of nature will test every nerve,; You won't get anything you don't deserve,; Where we were born in time.
Was that the thunder that I heard?; My head is vibrating, I feel a sharp pain
When there is no more,; You cut to the core; Quicker than anyone I knew.
But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency,; All non-believers and men stealers talkin' in the name of religion
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin,; Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in.
if every bone in his body was broken he would never admit it
Can you tell me what we're waiting for, senor?
All the laughter is just making me sad
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
Talk about perfection, I ain't never seen none
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.
Oh ev'ry foe that ever I faced
The cause was there before we came.
Seen the arrow on the doorpost; Saying, "This land is condemned; All the way from New Orleans; To Jerusalem."
if there's an original thought out there, I could use it right now
You speak to me; In sign language; As I'm eating a sandwich
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection
I don't want to fake you out
There's only one step down from here, baby,; It's called the land of permanent bliss.
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours
You can't get to glory by the raising and the lowering of no flag.; Put your goodness next to God's and it comes out like a filthy rag.
Shine your light, shine your light on me; Ya know I just couldn't make it by myself.; I'm a little too blind to see
With haunted hearts through the heat and cold
We never thought we could ever get old
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
When I met you, baby,; You didn't show no visible scars.
I fought with my twin, that enemy within, 'til both of us fell by the way.
I must admit I felt a little uneasy; When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
If you're a doctor, I need a shot of love.
Never could learn to drink that blood; And call it wine
you remind me of something that used to be; somethin' that crossed over from another century
I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
This time tomorrow I'll know you better; When my memory is not so short.
time is running backwards
Now, I can't go back to what was, baby,; I can't unring the bell.
Too many thoughts get in the way in the day
Oh what dear daughter 'neath the sun; Would treat a father so,; To wait upon him hand and foot; And always tell him, "No"?
Somebody's got to find your trail,; I guess it must be up to me.
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
Well, they're not showing any lights tonight; And there's no moon.
Sooner or later, one of us must know; That I really did try to get close to you
You can pound on the President's gate; But you oughta know by now it's gonna be too late.
Yesterday everything was going too fast; Today, it's moving too slow
I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings, And I've never been too impressed.
I want to thank You, Lord,; I just want to thank You, Lord,; Thank You, Lord.
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.
They say ev'rything can be replaced
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.
Just what do you think you have to guard?
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past; I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind
When you know as well as me; You'd rather see me paralyzed
If I had wings and I could fly,; I know where I would go.
