I feel nothing for their game where beauty goes unrecognized
Oh, baby, that god you been prayin' to; Is gonna give ya back what you're wishin' on someone else
I can't help it if I'm lucky.
I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch.
Those are the hill of heaven, my love; You and I'll never know
I thought somehow that I would be spared this fate
Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues; You can tell by the way she smiles
Some things last longer than you think they will; There are some kind of things you can never kill
What was it you wanted; When you were kissing my check?
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?
Don't the moon look good, mama, Shinin' through the trees?
I'd never say; That I done it the way; That you'd have liked me to.
My feet are so tired, my brain is so wired
Love is so simple, to quote a phrase,; You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days.
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,; All the pigeons gonna run to him.
Don't you know there's nothing new that's under the sun?; Well, there ain't no man righteous, no not one.
All the people we used to know; Are an illusion to me now
Silver and gold; Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
A million faces at my feet; But all I see are dark eyes
Give ya delusions of grandeur; And a evil eye; Give you idea that; You're too good to die
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.
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."
If this is love then gimme more; And more and more and more and more.
But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency
May you always know the truth; And see the lights surrounding you.
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
When destruction cometh swiftly; And there's no time to say a fare-thee-well,; Have you decided whether you want to be; In heaven or in hell?
My head tells me it's time to make a change; But my heart is telling me I love ya but you're strange.
No knife could ever cut our love apart
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
Wallflower, wallflower; Take a chance on me.; Please let me ride you home.
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me,; See like me or be like me.
Oh ev'ry foe that ever I faced
The cause was there before we came.
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.
Can't you make any sound?
as long as the world keeps a-turnin', I just keep a-turnin' too.
Well it's way past midnight and there are people all around; Some on their way up, some on their way down
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.
We're both just one too many mornings; An' a thousand miles behind.
Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift
Shine your light, shine your light on me; Ya know I just couldn't make it by myself.; I'm a little too blind to see
The country music station plays soft; but there's nothing, really nothing, to turn off
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
Satan whispers to ya, "Well, I don't want to bore ya,; But when ya get tired of the Miss So-and-so I got another woman for ya."
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
You could make me cry if you don't know.
For I know that you know that I know that you know; Something is tearing up your mind.
I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
Never could learn to drink that blood; And call it wine
The sky is trembling, And I must leave.
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise, remind me to show you the, scars.
Oh, some of us'll end up; In St. Cloud Prison,; And some of us'll wind up, To be lawyers and things
Gon' walk on down until I'm right beside the sun; I'm gonna have to put up a barrier to keep myself away from everyone.
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting; That's hanging in the Louvre
All I feel is heat and flame and all I see are dark eyes.
She still lives inside of me, we've never been apart.
