And you, you took me in,; You loved me then; You didn't waste time.
Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer; It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.
I can't help it if I'm lucky.
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
It ain't my cup of meat.
She got a weird sense of humor that's all her own
You say you love me; And you're thinkin' of me,; But you know you could be wrong.
Saw you drift into infinity and come back again
Now the moon is almost hidden; The stars are beginning to hide; The fortunetelling lady; Has even taken all her things inside
Through the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales
Wiggle 'til you're high, wiggle 'til you're higher,; Wiggle 'til you vomit fire
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
She's a hypnotist collector
In the fury of the moment I can see the Master's hand; In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand.
Last night I danced with a stranger; But she just reminded me you were the one
Your temperature's too hot for taming
But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
When He rose from the dead, did they believe?
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke
I've paid the price of solitude, but at last I'm out of debt.
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?
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
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.
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
Now, when I was just a bawlin' child,; I saw what I wanted to be
Guess it's too late to say the things to you; That you needed to hear me say.
I need a steam shovel mama to keep away the dead
And, when I was through; I filled up my shoe; And brought it to you.
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously; But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
Look into infinity, all you see is trouble.
Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand,; And rivers that ran through ev'ry day.
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
Can't you hear that motor turnin'?; Automobile comin' into style
Everybody's doin' something,; I heard it in a dream,; But when there's too much of nothing,; It just makes a fella mean.
I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too"; He said, "You're not Him"
Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift
I looked at my watch; I looked at my wrist; I punched myself in the face with my fist
Don't have to look no further, you're the soul of many things.
As the last fire truck from hell; Goes rolling by, all good people are praying
All the tired horses in the sun; How'm I supposed to get any ridin' done? Hmm.
Ever since you walked right in, the circle's been complete
I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings, And I've never been too impressed.
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
There was music in the cafes at night; And revolution in the air.
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
I've been walking through the middle of nowhere; Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
How did I meet you? I don't know.
You could ride like Annie Oakley,; You could shoot like Belle Starr.
Well my nerves are exploding and my body's tense; I feel like the whole world got me pinned up against the fence
A million faces at my feet; But all I see are dark eyes
She knows there's no success like failure; And that failure's no success at all.
Leaving men wholly, totally free; To do anything they wish to do but die
We're going all the way 'til the wheels fall off and burn
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
When he died I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious
I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
Democracy don't rule the world,; You'd better get that in your head.; This world is ruled by violence; But I guess that's better left unsaid.
