Well, they're not showing any lights tonight; And there's no moon.
My love she speaks like silence
Do you ever wonder just what God requires?; You think He's just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires.
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
It's the ways of the flesh to war against the spirit; Twenty-four hours a day you can feel it and you can hear it; Using all the devices under the sun.
I seen the kingdoms of the world and it's makin' me feel afraid.
I feel nothing for their game where beauty goes unrecognized
Pain sure brings out the best in people, doesn't it?
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats; Too noble to neglect; Deceived me into thinking; I had something to protect
They got him on conspiracy, they were never sure who with.
If you're looking for assistance, babe,; Or if you just want some company; Or if you just want a friend you can talk to,; Honey, come and see about me.
How did I meet you? I don't know.
Don't the moon look good, mama, Shinin' through the trees?
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,; That we could sit simply in that room again.
Well I don't dare close my eyes and I don't dare wink; Maybe in the next life I'll be able to hear myself think
Maybe they'll get me and maybe they won't; But not tonight and it won't be here; There are things I could say but I don't; I know the mercy of God must be near
Well, you're so bad and nasty; But I love you, yes I do
I could say that I'd be faithful, I could say it in one sweet, easy breath; But to you that would be cruelty and to me it surely would be death.
Soon as a man is born, you know the sparks begin to fly, He gets wise in his own eyes and he's made to believe a lie.
Oh, baby, that god you been prayin' to; Is gonna give ya back what you're wishin' on someone else
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
'Cause he doesn't tell you jokes or fairy tales, say he's got no style.
For I know that you know that I know that you know; Something is tearing up your mind.
I hate myself for lovin' you and the weakness that it showed; You were just a painted face on a trip down Suicide Road
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
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
She said, "Be easy, baby,; There ain't nothin' worth stealin' in here."
I'm in love with the Ugliest Girl in the World
With haunted hearts through the heat and cold
We never thought we could ever get old
Don't follow leaders; Watch the parkin' meters
Well my house is on fire, burning to the sky
You can pound on the President's gate; But you oughta know by now it's gonna be too late.
Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder
I'm in a cowboy band
Try to be pure at heart, they arrest you for robbery,; Mistake your shyness for aloofness, your shyness for snobbery
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
People on the platforms; Waiting for the trains; I can hear their hearts a-beatin'; Like pendulums swinging on chains
Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain
Everybody's doin' something,; I heard it in a dream,; But when there's too much of nothing,; It just makes a fella mean.
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?
They don't want me around; 'Cause I believe in you.
Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed
Hot chili peppers in the blistering sun
Well, I don't have to be no doctor, babe,; To see that you're madly in love.
Can't you make any sound?
And I, I don't mind the pain; Don't mind the driving rain; I know I will sustain; 'Cause I believe in you.
I've been hit too hard, I've seen too much; Nothing can heal me now, but your touch
Reality has always had too many heads
The man in me will hide sometimes to keep from bein' seen,; But that's just because he doesn't want to turn into some machine.
It was then that I got up to leave; But she said, "Don't forget,; Everybody must give something back; For something they get."
Always on the outside of whatever side there was,; When they asked him why it had to be that way, "Well," he answered, "just because."
I stood unwound beneath the skies; And clouds unbound by laws.
I'll remember you; When the wind blows through the piney wood.
I must be guilty of something,; You just whisper it into my ear.
goodbye's too good a word, gal; so I'll just say fare thee well
You'd better do somethin' quick; She's your lover now.
