I'm already there in my mind; And that's good enough for now
But I will be back, I will survive,; You'll never get rid of me as long as you're alive.
The door has closed forevermore
If indeed there ever was a door
You don't want a love that's pure; You wanna drown love; You want a watered-down love
When they came for Him in the garden, did they know?
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
I wouldn't be ashamed to be seen with you anywhere.
I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down
You're gonna have to serve somebody.
Don't have to look no further, you're the soul of many things.
The night passed away so quickly; It always does when you're with me.
I got a poison headache,; But I feel all right
Gon' walk on down that dirt road 'til I'm right beside the sun
Wealth is a filthy rag; So erotic so unpatriotic; So wrapped up in the American flag
In the hills of mystery,; In the foggy web of destiny,; You can have what's left of me,; Where we were born in time.
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,; And the dust of rumors covers me.
You breathed on me and made my life a richer one to live,; When I was deep in poverty you taught me how to give
It was true that in his later years he would not carry a gun; "I'm around too many children," he'd say, "they should never know of one."
Your mind is your temple, keep it beautiful and free,; Don't let an egg get laid in it by something you can't see.
Now the rainman gave me two cures,; Then he said, "Jump right in."; The one was Texas medicine,; The other was just railroad gin.
Yes, I see you on your window ledge; But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge
I'm glad to see you're still alive, you're lookin' like a saint.
All my friends have told me; If I hang around with you; That I'll go blind
He bought me with a price,; Freed me from the pit,; Full of emptiness and wrath; And the fire that burns in it.
You could ride like Annie Oakley,; You could shoot like Belle Starr.
Put your body next to mine; And keep me company,; There is plenty a room for all,; So please don't elbow me.
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.
It's many a guard; That stands around smilin',; Holdin' his club; Like he was a king.
The truth was obscure, too profound and too pure, to live it you have to explode.
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation; There are no words that need to be said
Well, I don't have to be no doctor, babe,; To see that you're madly in love.
You think you can hide but you're never alone,; Ask Lot what he thought when his wife turned to stone.
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.
Well, you're so bad and nasty; But I love you, yes I do
She knows there's no success like failure; And that failure's no success at all.
They say ev'rything can be replaced
I wish that for just one time; You could stand inside my shoes; You'd know what a drag it is; To see you
Time is all I have to give
Tough Mama; Can I blow a little smoke on you?
Lovin' you is the one thing I'll never regret.
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me,; See like me or be like me.
In the home of the brave
Jefferson turnin’ over in his grave
Handy dandy, he got a basket of flowers and a bag full or sorrow
Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain
How did I meet you? I don't know.
We're going all the way 'til the wheels fall off and burn
The party's over, and there's less and less to say
Well, they're not showing any lights tonight; And there's no moon.
Now, I can't go back to what was, baby,; I can't unring the bell.
While my conscience explodes; The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,; Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
your pleasure knows no limits
Are you still my friend, baby, show me a sign
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,; All the pigeons gonna run to him.
Either I'm too sensitive or else I'm gettin' soft.
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously; But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats; Too noble to neglect; Deceived me into thinking; I had something to protect
She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe; "I thought you'd never say hello," she said; "You look like the silent type."
