Pain sure brings out the best in people, doesn't it?

But does anyone hear the music they play Does anyone even try?

A million faces at my feet;
But all I see are dark eyes

I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.

Then she says, "I know you're an artist, draw a picture of me!";
I say, "I would if I could, but, ;
I don't do sketches from memory."

The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.;
Take what you have gathered from coincidence.

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.

Well, I spied a girl and before she could leave,;
"Let's go and play Adam and Eve.";
I took her by the hand and my heart it was thumpin';
When she said, "Hey man, you crazy or sumpin',;
You see what happened last time they started."

I see nothing to be gained by any explanation;
There are no words that need to be said

If dogs run free, why not me;
Across the swamp of time?

I'm in love with the Ugliest Girl in the World

I need a dump truck mama to unload my head

If you get close to her, kiss her once for me

I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail,;
Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail,;
Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn.

Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night

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?

There are those who worship loneliness, I'm not one of them

I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours

She knows there's no success like failure;
And that failure's no success at all.

I'm glad to see you're still alive, you're lookin' like a saint.

If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise, remind me to show you the, scars.

Put your body next to mine;
And keep me company,;
There is plenty a room for all,;
So please don't elbow me.

Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?

When they came for Him in the garden, did they know?

My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,;
Should I leave them by your gate,;
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?

She's got everything she needs,;
She's an artist, she don't look back

Can't you hear that motor turnin'?;
Automobile comin' into style

The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed

Lay down your weary tune, lay down,;
Lay down the song you strum,;
And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings;
No voice can hope to hum.

Just what do you think you have to guard?

I still can remember the way that you smiled

I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,;
That we could sit simply in that room again.

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

What happened to the real you, you've been captured but by whom?

All the laughter is just making me sad

She was born in spring, but I was born too late

Today on the countryside it was a-hotter than a crotch

Tough Mama;
Can I blow a little smoke on you?

Insanity is smashing up against my soul;
You can say I was on anything but a roll;
If I had a conscience, well I just might blow my top;
What would I do with it anyway ;
Maybe take it to the pawn shop

I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings, And I've never been too impressed.

For all eternity I think I will remember;
That icy wind that's howling in your eye.

Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time

Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues;
You can tell by the way she smiles

I been hangin’ on threads I been playin’ it straight Now, I’ve just got to cut loose Before it gets late

Well, I try my best;
To be just like I am,;
But everybody wants you;
To be just like them.

My so-called friends have fallen under a spell.;
They look me squarely in the eye and they say, "All is well.";
Can they imagine the darkness that will fall from on high;
When men will beg God to kill them and they won't be able to die?

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.

My heart's in the Highlands at the break of dawn;
By the beautiful lake of the Black Swan;
Big white clouds, like chariots that swing down low;
Well my heart's in the Highlands;
Only place left to go

No time to suffer or blink;
And no time to think

I like the cool way you look at me,;
Everything about you is bringing me;
Misery.

Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted

You could ride like Annie Oakley,;
You could shoot like Belle Starr.

Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer;
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.

Every day of the year's like playin' Russian roulette

What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood

I couldn't see what you could show me;
Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid

We're idiots, babe.;
It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves.

There's always some new stranger sneakin' glances,;
Some trigger-happy fool willin' to take chances

Love is so simple, to quote a phrase,;
You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days.
