When I met you, baby,; You didn't show no visible scars.
Everybody must get stoned.
If this is love then gimme more; And more and more and more and more.
You speak to me; In sign language; As I'm eating a sandwich
It's the ways of the flesh to war against the spirit; Twenty-four hours a day you can feel it and you can hear it; Using all the devices under the sun.
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,; And the dust of rumors covers me.
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
We never thought we could ever get old.; We thought we could sit forever in fun
She got a weird sense of humor that's all her own
I've been hit too hard, I've seen too much; Nothing can heal me now, but your touch
My love she speaks like silence
We're going all the way 'til the wheels fall off and burn
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
I can't provide for you no easy answers,; Who are you that I should have to lie?
Did I miss the mark or; Over-step the line; That only you could see?
I'm goin' down to Tennessee,; Get me a truck 'r somethin'.; Gonna save my money and rip it up!
Now, a very great man once said; That some people rob you with a fountain pen.; It didn't take too long to find out; Just what he was talkin' about.
What drives me to you is what drives me insane.
Praise be to Nero's Neptune; The Titanic sails at dawn; And everybody's shouting; Which Side Are You On?
I'm hungry and I'm irritable; And I'm tired of this bag of tricks.; At one time there was nothing wrong with me; That you could not fix.
Sooner or later, one of us must know; That I really did try to get close to you
Go 'way from my window,; Leave at your own chosen speed.
If the bible is right, the world will explode
Precious angel, you believe me when I say; What God has given to us no man can take away.
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties; Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
Every day of the year's like playin' Russian roulette
If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise, remind me to show you the, scars.
And you never ask questions; When God's on your side.
Well, it's always been my nature to take chances; My right hand drawing back while my left hand advances
Oh the fishes will laugh; As they swim out of the path; And the seagulls they'll be smiling.
God is in heaven; And we all want what's his; But power and greed and corruptible seed; Seem to be all that there is
If I had wings and I could fly,; I know where I would go.
I want to thank You, Lord,; I just want to thank You, Lord,; Thank You, Lord.
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.
the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
When He rose from the dead, did they believe?
It's the last temptation; The last account; The last time you might hear the sermon on the mount,; The last radio is playing.
Here is your throat back; Thanks for the loan
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.
You lose yourself, you reappear
But the magician is quicker and his game; Is much thicker than blood and blacker than ink
For the loser now; Will be later to win
I couldn't see where we were goin'; But you said you knew an' I took your word
Nations are angry, cursed are some,; People are expecting a false peace to come.
Talk about perfection, I ain't never seen none
Drinkin' man listens to the voice he hears; In a crowded room full of covered up mirrors; Lookin' into the lost forgotten years; For dignity
Goodnight, my love, may the lord have mercy on us all.
Wiggle 'til you're high, wiggle 'til you're higher,; Wiggle 'til you vomit fire
But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency
Mama, take this badge off of me
People ask about you; I didn't tell them everything I knew
Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift
And the words that are used; For to get the ship confused; Will not be understood as they're spoken.
I'll give you more gold; Than your apron can hold; If you'll only let your hair hang low
It ain't my cup of meat.
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
While my conscience explodes; The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
