Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss.
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore; You may not see me tomorrow.
It was gravity which pulled us down and destiny which broke us apart
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
People are crazy and times are strange
Has the record been breaking,; Did the needle just skip
Leaving men wholly, totally free; To do anything they wish to do but die
Mama, take this badge off of me
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.
I fought with my twin, that enemy within, 'til both of us fell by the way.
Hot chili peppers in the blistering sun
I'll give you more gold; Than your apron can hold; If you'll only let your hair hang low
take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind
Your mind is your temple, keep it beautiful and free,; Don't let an egg get laid in it by something you can't see.
You say my kisses are not like his,; But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is.
All the people we used to know; Are an illusion to me now
You will search, babe, At any cost.; But how long, babe, Can you search for what's not lost?
She got a weird sense of humor that's all her own
the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
And, when I was through; I filled up my shoe; And brought it to you.
Ever since you walked right in, the circle's been complete
People on the platforms; Waiting for the trains; I can hear their hearts a-beatin'; Like pendulums swinging on chains
It's so impossible to even learn the tune.
goodbye's too good a word, gal; so I'll just say fare thee well
Those are the hills of hell-fire my love; Where you and I will unite
You're so damn nonchalant; But it's your mind that I want.
Get the loot, don't be slow, we're gonna catch a trout
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
If God's on our side; He'll stop the next war.
I got nothing left to burn
You don't want a love that's pure; You wanna drown love; You want a watered-down love
She once was a true love of mine
Heart of mine be still,; You can play with fire, But you'll get the bill
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed
Searching for my double, looking for; Complete evaporation to the core
And then you told me later, as I apologized; That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
as long as the world keeps a-turnin', I just keep a-turnin' too.
It's all been designed, he said, "To make you lose your mind,; And when you go back to find it, there's nothing there to find."
What looks large from a distance,; Close up ain't never that big.
It's the ways of the flesh to war against the spirit; Twenty-four hours a day you can feel it and you can hear it; Using all the devices under the sun.
Tell her she can look me up if she's got the time.
In the home of the brave
Jefferson turnin’ over in his grave
If your mem'ry serves you well,; You'll remember you're the one; That called on me to call on them; To get you your favors done.
When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things that remain?
Somebody's got to find your trail,; I guess it must be up to me.
Here is your throat back; Thanks for the loan
The country music station plays soft; but there's nothing, really nothing, to turn off
Go melt back into the night, babe,; Everything inside is made of stone.; There's nothing in here moving, An' anyway I'm not alone.
They got him on conspiracy, they were never sure who with.
Ain't no reason to go anywhere.
How did I meet you? I don't know.
Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift
Somethin' there is about you that I can't quite put my finger on.
But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency,; All non-believers and men stealers talkin' in the name of religion
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."
I need a dump truck mama to unload my head
Don't trust me to show you beauty; When beauty may only turn to rust.
