One more cup of coffee 'fore I go; To the valley below
Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder
Yesterday everything was going too fast; Today, it's moving too slow
Well, it's always been my nature to take chances; My right hand drawing back while my left hand advances
you remind me of something that used to be; somethin' that crossed over from another century
She still lives inside of me, we've never been apart.
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore; You may not see me tomorrow.
People ask about you; I didn't tell them everything I knew
Precious angel, you believe me when I say; What God has given to us no man can take away.
The country music station plays soft; but there's nothing, really nothing, to turn off
Saw you drift into infinity and come back again
Oh, ev'ry thought that's strung a knot in my mind,; I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung.
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 got new eyes ; Everything looks far away
In the home of the brave, Jefferson turnin' over in his grave
Some things last longer than you think they will; There are some kind of things you can never kill
Can you tell me what we're waiting for, senor?
She's got everything she needs,; She's an artist, she don't look back
The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face
May you build a ladder to the stars; And climb on every rung.
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?
Everything passes,; Everything changes,; Just do what you think you should do.
Never could learn to drink that blood; And call it wine
If he needs a third eye he just grows it
Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,; Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
Pardon, monsieur," the desk clerk says,; Carefully removes his fez,; "Am I hearin' you right?"
What happened to the real you, you've been captured but by whom?
Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line,; Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine.
On the rising curve,; Where the ways of nature will test every nerve,; You won't get anything you don't deserve,; Where we were born in time.
'Cause he doesn't tell you jokes or fairy tales, say he's got no style.
Does she know I still care?
If you want to live easy
Baby pack your clothes with mine
They tell me revenge is sweet and from where they stand, I'm sure it is.
I just want you to know; I can see through your masks
It's mighty funny; the end of time has just begun
I finally realize there's no room for regret
You'd better do somethin' quick; She's your lover now.
No knife could ever cut our love apart
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,; All non-believers and men stealers talkin' in the name of religion
Lovin' you is the one thing I'll never regret.
When we meet again; Introduced as friends; Please don't let on that you knew me when; I was hungry and it was your world.
Won't you come with me, baby?; I'll take you where you wanna go.; And if it don't work out, You'll be the first to know
You're so damn nonchalant; But it's your mind that I want.
Through the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales
Now you stand here expectin' me to remember somethin' you forgot to say
They tell me everything is gonna be all right; But I don't know what "all right" even means
Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial
Go melt back into the night, babe,; Everything inside is made of stone.; There's nothing in here moving, An' anyway I'm not alone.
I'd never say; That I done it the way; That you'd have liked me to.
She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the Jack of Hearts
For I know that you know that I know that you know; Something is tearing up your mind.
I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too"; He said, "You're not Him"
Run your fingers down my spine; Bring me a touch of bliss
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
As his youth now unfolds; He is centuries old; Just to see him at play makes me smile; No matter what happens to me; No matter what my destiny; Lord, protect my child
When you know as well as me; You'd rather see me paralyzed
I look into the eyes of my merciful friend
And then I ask myself, is this the end?
Memories linger, sad yet sweet
And I think of the souls in heaven who will meet
The drinks are ready and the dogs are going to war
