When there is no more,; You cut to the core; Quicker than anyone I knew.
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
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."
I'm T-boned and punctured; But I'm known to be calm
I was just too stubborn to ever be governed by enforced insanity
Cities on fire, phones out of order
Gonna sleep down in the parlor; And relive my dreams
Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand,; And rivers that ran through ev'ry day.
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
What drives me to you is what drives me insane.
If you're lookin' to get silly; You better go back to from where you came
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
I hear that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.
Those are the hills of hell-fire my love; Where you and I will unite
Won't you descend from the throne, from where you sit?
In order to deal in this game, got to make the queen disappear,; It's done with a flick of the wrist.
And you, you took me in,; You loved me then; You didn't waste time.
Well, I got a harmonica job, begun to play,; Blowin' my lungs out for a dollar a day.
I've already ripped out the phones, honey.; You can't walk the streets in a war
I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea; Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me.
Temptation's not an easy thing
time is running backwards
Does she know I still care?
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
Precious angel, you believe me when I say; What God has given to us no man can take away.
Don't the moon look good, mama, Shinin' through the trees?
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
The way is long but the end is near, Already the fiesta has begun
I just want you to know; I can see through your masks
Last night I danced with a stranger; But she just reminded me you were the one
I must be guilty of something,; You just whisper it into my ear.
Every brain is civilized,; Every nerve is analyzed,; Everything is criticized when you are in need.
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,; That we could sit simply in that room again.
That's how it is when things disintegrate
For all eternity I think I will remember; That icy wind that's howling in your eye.
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours
You could make me cry if you don't know.
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.
Rock me, pretty baby, rock me 'til everything gets real; Rock me for a little while, rock me 'til there's nothing left to feel; And I'll rock you too
When I met you, baby,; You didn't show no visible scars.
Don't you know there's nothing new that's under the sun?; Well, there ain't no man righteous, no not one.
Have I surrendered to the will of God; Or am I still acting like the boss?
And I can't let go, won't let go, and I can't let go no more.
It's so impossible to even learn the tune.
Roses are red, violets are blue; And time is beginning to crawl
Our conversation was short and sweet; It nearly swept me off-a my feet.
Seen the arrow on the doorpost; Saying, "This land is condemned; All the way from New Orleans; To Jerusalem."
I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch.
Run your fingers down my spine; Bring me a touch of bliss
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.
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
I just can't fit; Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
They like to take all this money from sin, build big universities to study in; Sing Amazing Grace all the way to the Swiss banks
Nations are angry, cursed are some,; People are expecting a false peace to come.
When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things that remain?
You say my kisses are not like his,; But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is.
Ain't complaining 'bout what I got; Seen better times, but who has not?
