If I had wings and I could fly,;
I know where I would go.
How can I explain?;
Oh, it's so hard to get on
That's how it is when things disintegrate
Well, I got a harmonica job, begun to play,;
Blowin' my lungs out for a dollar a day.
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
With haunted hearts through the heat and cold
We never thought we could ever get old
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.
We always did feel the same,;
We just saw it from a different point of view
Oh, some of us'll end up;
In St. Cloud Prison,;
And some of us'll wind up, To be lawyers and things
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.
Well, if I had to do it all over again,;
Babe, I'd do it all over you.
Everybody must get stoned.
Leaving men wholly, totally free;
To do anything they wish to do but die
The country music station plays soft;
but there's nothing, really nothing, to turn off
Get the loot, don't be slow, we're gonna catch a trout
if every bone in his body was broken he would never admit it
All my friends have told me;
If I hang around with you;
That I'll go blind
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.
She once was a true love of mine
Can't you hear that motor turnin'?;
Automobile comin' into style
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
What was it you wanted;
When you were kissing my check?
There are those who worship loneliness, I'm not one of them
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.
No knife could ever cut our love apart
You don't need a weather man;
To know which way the wind blows
Pain sure brings out the best in people, doesn't it?
Now the rainman gave me two cures,;
Then he said, "Jump right in.";
The one was Texas medicine,;
The other was just railroad gin.
I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down
Roses are red, violets are blue;
And time is beginning to crawl
Time passes slowly when you're lost in a dream.
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 you're a doctor, I need a shot of love.
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand,;
And rivers that ran through ev'ry day.
I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring.
Your loyalty is not to me;
But to the stars above
He got an all girl orchestra and when he says;
"Strike up the band," they hit it
For the loser now;
Will be later to win
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.;
Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation;
There are no words that need to be said
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,;
That we could sit simply in that room again.
Won't you dance with me?;
I'm fallin' in love with you.
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.
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously;
But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
I don't wanna be hers, I wanna be yours.
Those are the hill of heaven, my love;
You and I'll never know
All I really want to do,;
Is, baby, be friends with you.
If this is love then gimme more;
And more and more and more and more.
They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table.
Don't the moon look good, mama, Shinin' through the trees?
I got new eyes ;
Everything looks far away
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past;
I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
Mama, take this badge off of me
