Took a stranger to teach me, to look into justice's beautiful face; And to see an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
Well I don't dare close my eyes and I don't dare wink; Maybe in the next life I'll be able to hear myself think
You breathed on me and made my life a richer one to live,; When I was deep in poverty you taught me how to give
Oh, but if I had the stars from the darkest night,; And the diamonds from the deepest ocean,; I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss,; For that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'.
We're going all the way 'til the wheels fall off and burn
It was true that in his later years he would not carry a gun; "I'm around too many children," he'd say, "they should never know of one."
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
It was gravity which pulled us down and destiny which broke us apart
No knife could ever cut our love apart
She once was a true love of mine
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
Do I need your permission to turn the other cheek?; If you can read my mind, why must I speak?
That's how it is when things disintegrate
Well, he can be fascinating, he can be dull,; He can ride down Niagara Falls in the barrels of your skull.
You don't need a weather man; To know which way the wind blows
Oh it's rush hour now; On the wheel and the plow; And the sun is going down; Upon the sacred cow.
The man in me will hide sometimes to keep from bein' seen,; But that's just because he doesn't want to turn into some machine.
People tell me it's a sin; To know and feel too much within.
An' here I sit so patiently; Waiting to find out what price; You have to pay to get out of; Going through all these things twice.
I finally realize there's no room for regret
We grew up together; From the cradle to the grave; We died and were reborn; And then mysteriously saved.
It's too bright a light, he said, "For anybody's eyes,; If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."
I'm in a cowboy band
God is in heaven; And we all want what's his; But power and greed and corruptible seed; Seem to be all that there is
Don't trust me to show you beauty; When beauty may only turn to rust.
The door has closed forevermore
If indeed there ever was a door
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
Nobody feels any pain
I don't know why I love her but I just can't stop
Don't trust me to show you love; When my love may be only lust.
Well, there's voices in the night trying to be heard; I'm sitting here listening to every mind polluting word
They said it was the land of milk and honey,; now they say it's the land of money.; Who ever thought they could ever make that stick.
My feet are so tired, my brain is so wired
Don't follow leaders; Watch the parkin' meters
Some things are too hot to touch; The human mind can only stand so much
Searching for my double, looking for; Complete evaporation to the core
I must admit I felt a little uneasy; When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
She says, "What'll it be?"; I say, "I don't know, you got any soft boiled eggs?"
Without freedom of speech, I might be in the swamp.
But even the president of the United States, Sometimes must have, To stand naked.
I couldn't see what you could show me; Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
I'm goin' down to Tennessee,; Get me a truck 'r somethin'.; Gonna save my money and rip it up!
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me,; See like me or be like me.
Either I'm too sensitive or else I'm gettin' soft.
Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed
I was just too stubborn to ever be governed by enforced insanity
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation; There are no words that need to be said
the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
I'm listening to Neil Young, I gotta turn up the sound; Someone's always yelling turn it down
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.
Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Well, the road is rocky and the hillside's mud; Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke
it is not he or she or them or it; That you belong to.
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',; But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
Well, you're on your own, you always were,; In a land of wolves and thieves.
You're the other half of what I am, you're the missing piece
