Let's try to get beneath the surface waste, girl,; No more booby traps and bombs,; No more decadence and charm,; No more affection that's misplaced, girl
I'd never say; That I done it the way; That you'd have liked me to.
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed,; Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features.
I can change, I swear, oh, oh,; See what you can do.; I can make it through,; You can make it too.
the cops don't need you; and man they expect the same
Silver and gold; Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
Now at midnight all the agents; And the superhuman crew; Come out and round up everyone; That knows more than they do
We're going all the way 'til the wheels fall off and burn
It's the last temptation; The last account; The last time you might hear the sermon on the mount,; The last radio is playing.
The pump don't work; 'Cause the vandals took the handles
Lookin' at my shadow watching the colors up above
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
When destruction cometh swiftly; And there's no time to say a fare-thee-well,; Have you decided whether you want to be; In heaven or in hell?
Last night I danced with a stranger; But she just reminded me you were the one
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.
If dogs run free, why not me; Across the swamp of time?
Do you ever wonder just what God requires?; You think He's just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires.
Your loyalty is not to me; But to the stars above
No knife could ever cut our love apart
Ever since you walked right in, the circle's been complete
There's only one step down from here, baby,; It's called the land of permanent bliss.
A saxophone someplace far off played
They tell me revenge is sweet and from where they stand, I'm sure it is.
I can tell you fancy, I can tell you plain; You give something up for everything you gain
Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain
Can't you hear that motor turnin'?; Automobile comin' into style
We always did feel the same,; We just saw it from a different point of view
Whatever you wanted; Slipped out of my mind
Your magnetic movements; Still capture the minutes I'm in.
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
You should be made; To wear earphones
Oh, baby, that god you been prayin' to; Is gonna give ya back what you're wishin' on someone else
She still lives inside of me, we've never been apart.
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
I know all about poison, I know all about fiery darts,; I don't care how rough the road is, show me where it starts,; Whatever pleases You, tell it to my heart.
You speak to me; In sign language; As I'm eating a sandwich
I got a poison headache,; But I feel all right
He bought me with a price,; Freed me from the pit,; Full of emptiness and wrath; And the fire that burns in it.
I see, I see lovers in the meadow; I see, I see silhouettes in the window; I watch them 'til they're gone and they leave me hanging on ; To a shadow
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
And now the heart is filled with gold; As if it was a purse.; But, oh, what kind of love is this; Which goes from bad to worse?
Have I surrendered to the will of God; Or am I still acting like the boss?
Louise, she's all right, she's just near; She's delicate and seems like the mirror; But she just makes it all too concise and too clear; That Johanna's not here
May you have a strong foundation; When the winds of changes shift
The door has closed forevermore
If indeed there ever was a door
Guess it's too late to say the things to you; That you needed to hear me say.
You cast your spell and I went under,; I find it so difficult to leave.
Well, the chances are against it and the odds are slim,; That he'll live by the rules that the world makes for him
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.
Ring them bells, for the time that flies,; For the child that cries; When innocence dies.
I can smile in the face of mankind.; Don't even remember what her lips felt like on mine; Most of the time.
