You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
People are crazy and times are strange
She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe; "I thought you'd never say hello," she said; "You look like the silent type."
How long can I stay in this nowhere café
I'm T-boned and punctured; But I'm known to be calm
Not one more night, not one more kiss,; Not this time baby, no more of this,; Takes too much skill, takes too much will,; It's revealing.
If you're looking for assistance, babe,; Or if you just want some company; Or if you just want a friend you can talk to,; Honey, come and see about me.
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.
You don't want a love that's pure; You wanna drown love; You want a watered-down love
What looks large from a distance,; Close up ain't never that big.
Did I miss the mark or; Over-step the line; That only you could see?
Go 'way from my window,; Leave at your own chosen speed.
If the bible is right, the world will explode
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore; You may not see me tomorrow.
you remind me of something that used to be; somethin' that crossed over from another century
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,; Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,; With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,; Let me forget about today until tomorrow.
This wheel shall explode!
If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise, remind me to show you the, scars.
Now I wish I could write you a melody so plain; That could hold you dear lady from going insane
I'm in the streets; With the tombstone blues
You lose yourself, you reappear
The night passed away so quickly; It always does when you're with me.
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 must admit I felt a little uneasy; When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
And then you told me later, as I apologized; That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin,; Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in.
Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,; Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
They like to take all this money from sin, build big universities to study in; Sing Amazing Grace all the way to the Swiss banks
You got a lotta nerve; To say you are my friend
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke
Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that it passes through
No time to suffer or blink; And no time to think
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
The truth was obscure, too profound and too pure, to live it you have to explode.
In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection
Through the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales
I feel nothing for their game where beauty goes unrecognized
Ain't no reason to go anywhere.
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
Your mind is your temple, keep it beautiful and free,; Don't let an egg get laid in it by something you can't see.
We sat in an empty theater and we kissed,; I asked ya please to cross me off-a your list.
May you always know the truth; And see the lights surrounding you.
If your mem'ry serves you well,; You'll remember you're the one; That called on me to call on them; To get you your favors done.
He bought me with a price,; Freed me from the pit,; Full of emptiness and wrath; And the fire that burns in it.
Don’t think twice, it’s all right
Every time you leave and go off someplace,; Things fall to pieces in my face
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
People on the platforms; Waiting for the trains; I can hear their hearts a-beatin'; Like pendulums swinging on chains
I got nothing left to burn
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
Ever since you walked right in, the circle's been complete
I don't wanna be hers, I wanna be yours.
All the people we used to know; Are an illusion to me now
Never could learn to drink that blood; And call it wine
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,; And the dust of rumors covers me.
Just like you I'm wondrin' what I'm doin' here.; Just like you I'm wondrin' what's goin' on.
Thought I'd shaken the wonder and the phantoms of my youth
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."
Well, you're on your own, you always were,; In a land of wolves and thieves.
