Now at midnight all the agents; And the superhuman crew; Come out and round up everyone; That knows more than they do
Last night I danced with a stranger; But she just reminded me you were the one
I'm in a cowboy band
Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand,; And rivers that ran through ev'ry day.
Tell ev'rybody; Down in ol' 'Frisco; That Tiny Montgomery's comin'; Down to say Hello
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love.
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.
May you always know the truth; And see the lights surrounding you.
You lose yourself, you reappear
Put your ear to the train tracks, put your ear to the ground,; You ever feel like you're never alone even when there's nobody else around?; Since the beginning of the universe man's been cursed by trouble.
I've been hit too hard, I've seen too much; Nothing can heal me now, but your touch
I've already ripped out the phones, honey.; You can't walk the streets in a war
If you're a doctor, I need a shot of love.
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
Roses are red, violets are blue; And time is beginning to crawl
I don't need no alibi when I'm spending time with you.; I've heard all of them rumors and you have heard 'em too.
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.
That's how it is when things disintegrate
You have explained every mystery.; What can I do for You?
People on the platforms; Waiting for the trains; I can hear their hearts a-beatin'; Like pendulums swinging on chains
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?
Some things last longer than you think they will; There are some kind of things you can never kill
But is your heart made out of stone, or is it lime; Or is it just solid rock?
Down the highway, down the tracks, down the road to ecstasy,; I followed you beneath the stars, hounded by your memory,; And all your ragin' glory.
Now the moon is almost hidden; The stars are beginning to hide; The fortunetelling lady; Has even taken all her things inside
You know, the streets are filled with vipers; Who've lost all ray of hope,; You know, it ain't even safe no more; In the palace of the Pope.
People carry roses
Make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her
We heard the Sermon on the Mount and I knew it was too complex,; It didn't amount to anything more than what the broken glass reflects.
You can make me cry; Never say goodbye
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.
Well, if I had to do it all over again,; Babe, I'd do it all over you.
All he believes are his eyes, And his eyes, they just tell him lies
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
as long as the world keeps a-turnin', I just keep a-turnin' too.
I hate myself for lovin' you and the weakness that it showed; You were just a painted face on a trip down Suicide Road
It's so impossible to even learn the tune.
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours
And you never ask questions; When God's on your side.
Well, I try my best; To be just like I am,; But everybody wants you; To be just like them.
There's some people that; You don't forget,; Even though you've only seen'm; One time or two.
Ain't complaining 'bout what I got; Seen better times, but who has not?
Most of the time; I can't even be sure; If she was ever with me; Or if I was with her.
The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder
Temptation's not an easy thing
On the rising curve,; Where the ways of nature will test every nerve,; You won't get anything you don't deserve,; Where we were born in time.
Don't trust me to show you beauty; When beauty may only turn to rust.
I was all right 'til I fell in love with you
Gonna take dancing lessons do the jitterbug rag; Ain't no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag; Only a fool in here would think he's got anything to prove
Your temperature's too hot for taming
And I can't let go, won't let go, and I can't let go no more.
There's only one step down from here, baby,; It's called the land of permanent bliss.
When you cease to exist, then who will you blame?; I've tried my best to love you, but I cannot play this game; Your best friend and my worst enemy is one and the same
The pump don't work; 'Cause the vandals took the handles
For the loser now; Will be later to win
I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea; Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me.
Oh, some of us'll end up; In St. Cloud Prison,; And some of us'll wind up, To be lawyers and things
