Have I surrendered to the will of God; Or am I still acting like the boss?
Never could learn to drink that blood; And call it wine
If the bible is right, the world will explode
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.
And every time you get this close; It makes me want to scream
Darkness at the break of noon
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',; But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
I'm listening to Neil Young, I gotta turn up the sound; Someone's always yelling turn it down
We always did feel the same,; We just saw it from a different point of view
Lookin' at my shadow watching the colors up above
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
Everything passes,; Everything changes,; Just do what you think you should do.
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats; Too noble to neglect; Deceived me into thinking; I had something to protect
Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,; Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
Don't the moon look good, mama, Shinin' through the trees?
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.
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
When there is no more,; You cut to the core; Quicker than anyone I knew.
Don't you cry and don't you die and don't you burn
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.
I'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to me
I can smile in the face of mankind.; Don't even remember what her lips felt like on mine; Most of the time.
Just like you I'm wondrin' what I'm doin' here.; Just like you I'm wondrin' what's goin' on.
Don't know if I saw you, if I would kiss you or kill you; It probably wouldn't matter to you anyhow
Well it's way past midnight and there are people all around; Some on their way up, some on their way down
Don’t think twice, it’s all right
All he believes are his eyes, And his eyes, they just tell him lies
Seen the arrow on the doorpost; Saying, "This land is condemned; All the way from New Orleans; To Jerusalem."
Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed
A saxophone someplace far off played
But I will be back, I will survive,; You'll never get rid of me as long as you're alive.
Tell ev'rybody; Down in ol' 'Frisco; That Tiny Montgomery's comin'; Down to say Hello
I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch.
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
My so-called friends have fallen under a spell.; They look me squarely in the eye and they say, "All is well."; Can they imagine the darkness that will fall from on high; When men will beg God to kill them and they won't be able to die?
But the magician is quicker and his game; Is much thicker than blood and blacker than ink
I'll see you later when I'm not so out of my head,; Maybe next time I'll let the dead bury the dead.
Leaving men wholly, totally free; To do anything they wish to do but die
Somethin' there is about you that I can't quite put my finger on.
Today on the countryside it was a-hotter than a crotch
Time is all I have to give
Silver and gold; Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
Mama, take this badge off of me
Thought I'd shaken the wonder and the phantoms of my youth
We never thought we could ever get old.; We thought we could sit forever in fun
I feel nothing for their game where beauty goes unrecognized
In order to deal in this game, got to make the queen disappear,; It's done with a flick of the wrist.
I was just too stubborn to ever be governed by enforced insanity
She still lives inside of me, we've never been apart.
Talk about perfection, I ain't never seen none
The country music station plays soft; but there's nothing, really nothing, to turn off
And you, you took me in,; You loved me then; You didn't waste time.
Put my tears in a bottle
Screw the top on tight
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take; To find dignity
Just do your thing, you'll be king; If dogs run free.
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.
Oh, but if I had the stars from the darkest night,; And the diamonds from the deepest ocean,; I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss,; For that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'.
