I'm going out of my mind; With a pain that stops and starts
I gotta go; Find out something only dead men know
For all eternity I think I will remember; That icy wind that's howling in your eye.
Now the moon is almost hidden; The stars are beginning to hide; The fortunetelling lady; Has even taken all her things inside
It's all been designed, he said, "To make you lose your mind,; And when you go back to find it, there's nothing there to find."
She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the Jack of Hearts
The angels play on their horns all day,; The whole earth in progression seems to pass by.; But does anyone hear the music they play,; Does anyone even try?
They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table.
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
He looks so truthful, is this how he feels; Trying to peel the moon and expose it
At the corrida we'll sit in the shade; And watch the young torero stand alone.; We'll drink tequila where our grandfathers stayed; When they rode with Villa into Torreon.
Don't you know there's nothing new that's under the sun?; Well, there ain't no man righteous, no not one.
Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed; Dignity never been photographed
I can change, I swear, oh, oh,; See what you can do.; I can make it through,; You can make it too.
I see people who are supposed to know better standin' around like furniture.
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind; You could have done better but I don't mind; You just kinda wasted my precious time
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.
Lay down your weary tune, lay down,; Lay down the song you strum,; And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings; No voice can hope to hum.
When you think that you lost everything; You find out you can always lose a little more
Put your ear to the train tracks, put your ear to the ground,; You ever feel like you're never alone even when there's nobody else around?; Since the beginning of the universe man's been cursed by trouble.
Well, I asked for something to eat; I'm hungry as a hog; So I get brown rice, seaweed; And a dirty hot dog
Gonna take dancing lessons do the jitterbug rag; Ain't no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag; Only a fool in here would think he's got anything to prove
Today on the countryside it was a-hotter than a crotch
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.
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 night is pitch black, come an' make my; Pale face fit into place, ah, please!
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,; All the pigeons gonna run to him.
If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise, remind me to show you the, scars.
I got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles,; I think maybe we'd better leave each other alone.
Down the highway, down the tracks, down the road to ecstasy,; I followed you beneath the stars, hounded by your memory,; And all your ragin' glory.
I got new eyes ; Everything looks far away
I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch.
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
The party's over, and there's less and less to say
Heart of mine be still,; You can play with fire, But you'll get the bill
I looked at my watch; I looked at my wrist; I punched myself in the face with my fist
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
Too many thoughts get in the way in the day
Temptation's not an easy thing
Get the loot, don't be slow, we're gonna catch a trout
I'm goin' down to Tennessee,; Get me a truck 'r somethin'.; Gonna save my money and rip it up!
Insanity is smashing up against my soul; You can say I was on anything but a roll; If I had a conscience, well I just might blow my top; What would I do with it anyway ; Maybe take it to the pawn shop
Every brain is civilized,; Every nerve is analyzed,; Everything is criticized when you are in need.
Without freedom of speech, I might be in the swamp.
May you build a ladder to the stars; And climb on every rung.
My head tells me it's time to make a change; But my heart is telling me I love ya but you're strange.
I couldn't see where we were goin'; But you said you knew an' I took your word
She got a weird sense of humor that's all her own
Oh my name it is nothin'; My age it means less
Time is all I have to give
What drives me to you is what drives me insane.
But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency
A saxophone someplace far off played
Lot of water under the bridge, Lot of other stuff too; Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through
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 know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
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 cast your spell and I went under,; I find it so difficult to leave.
