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.
I was in your presence for an hour or so; Or was it a day? I truly don't know.
Someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
I got new eyes ; Everything looks far away
Well, I wake in the morning, Fold my hands and pray for rain.; I got a head full of ideas, That are drivin' me insane.
When He rose from the dead, did they believe?
Cities on fire, phones out of order
I've been hit too hard, I've seen too much; Nothing can heal me now, but your touch
Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy
That long black cloud is comin' down
I like the cool way you look at me,; Everything about you is bringing me; Misery.
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
When he died I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious
Roses are red, violets are blue; And time is beginning to crawl
Junk is piling up, taking up space
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,; That we could sit simply in that room again.
Last night I danced with a stranger; But she just reminded me you were the one
Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road
Boys in the street beginning to play; Girls like birds flying away
Just do your thing, you'll be king; If dogs run free.
Because something is happening here; But you don't know what it is; Do you, Mister Jones?
What looks large from a distance,; Close up ain't never that big.
Precious angel, you believe me when I say; What God has given to us no man can take away.
Now, I can't go back to what was, baby,; I can't unring the bell.
You could make me cry if you don't know.
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
Since every pleasure's got an edge of pain; Pay for your ticket and don't complain
When you think that you lost everything; You find out you can always lose a little more
time is running backwards
All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
One of these days and it won't be long; Going down in the valley and sing my song; I will sing it loud and sing it strong; Let the echo decide if I was right or wrong
How did I meet you? I don't know.
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours
Go 'way from my window,; Leave at your own chosen speed.
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."
The sky is trembling, And I must leave.
I'm glad to see you're still alive, you're lookin' like a saint.
Darkness at the break of noon
We pointed out the way to go; And scratched your name in sand,; Though you just thought it was nothing more; Than a place for you to stand.
I gotta go; Find out something only dead men know
Now the rainman gave me two cures,; Then he said, "Jump right in."; The one was Texas medicine,; The other was just railroad gin.
Well my nerves are exploding and my body's tense; I feel like the whole world got me pinned up against the fence
And they're breaking down the distance; Between right and wrong.
Run your fingers down my spine; Bring me a touch of bliss
The world of illusion is at my door
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously; But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
Silver and gold; Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift
How can I explain?; Oh, it's so hard to get on
If I ever lose her I will go insane; I go half crazy when she calls my name
Don’t think twice, it’s all right
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.
Whatever you wanted; Slipped out of my mind
I thought somehow that I would be spared this fate
Trees that've stood for a thousand years suddenly will fall.
People disagreeing on all just about everything, yeah,; Makes you stop and all wonder why.
