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 must be guilty of something,; You just whisper it into my ear.
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
Nobody feels any pain
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.
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.
Lovin' you is the one thing I'll never regret.
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',; But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
Can't you hear that motor turnin'?; Automobile comin' into style
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.
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.
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?
The treasure can't be found by men who search
I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too"; He said, "You're not Him"
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells; I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
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.
Tell ev'rybody; Down in ol' 'Frisco; That Tiny Montgomery's comin'; Down to say Hello
My feet are so tired, my brain is so wired
Drinkin' man listens to the voice he hears; In a crowded room full of covered up mirrors; Lookin' into the lost forgotten years; For dignity
In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection
Somebody's got to find your trail,; I guess it must be up to me.
I'll remember you; At the end of the trail,; I had so much left to do,; I had so little time to fail.
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
The truth was obscure, too profound and too pure, to live it you have to explode.
Every time you leave and go off someplace,; Things fall to pieces in my face
I looked at my watch; I looked at my wrist; I punched myself in the face with my fist
You should be made; To wear earphones
I've been hit too hard, I've seen too much; Nothing can heal me now, but your touch
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,; And the dust of rumors covers me.
It was gravity which pulled us down and destiny which broke us apart
I seen the kingdoms of the world and it's makin' me feel afraid.
I'm walking through streets that are dead
Hot chili peppers in the blistering sun
When He rose from the dead, did they believe?
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me,; See like me or be like me.
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
A saxophone someplace far off played
time is running backwards
You'd better do somethin' quick; She's your lover now.
You're the one I adore, come over here and give me more
Oh, the only decent thing I did when I worked as a postal clerk; Was to haul your picture down off the wall near the cage where I used to work.; Was I a fool or not to try to protect your identity?; You looked a little burned out, my friend,; I thought it might be up to me.
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
My love she speaks like silence
She was born in spring, but I was born too late
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.
If I ever lose her I will go insane; I go half crazy when she calls my name
What looks large from a distance,; Close up ain't never that big.
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore; You may not see me tomorrow.
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind; You could have done better but I don't mind; You just kinda wasted my precious time
Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed; Dignity never been photographed
The world of illusion is at my door
They got him on conspiracy, they were never sure who with.
You say my kisses are not like his,; But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is.
Praise be to Nero's Neptune; The Titanic sails at dawn; And everybody's shouting; Which Side Are You On?
Ain't complaining 'bout what I got; Seen better times, but who has not?
