You can't get to glory by the raising and the lowering of no flag.;
Put your goodness next to God's and it comes out like a filthy rag.

Sooner or later, one of us must know;
That I really did try to get close to you

You will search, babe, At any cost.;
But how long, babe, Can you search for what's not lost?

We grew up together;
From the cradle to the grave;
We died and were reborn;
And then mysteriously saved.

Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift

But I will be back, I will survive,;
You'll never get rid of me as long as you're alive.

Somethin' there is about you that I can't quite put my finger on.

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.

If I had wings and I could fly,;
I know where I would go.

It was gravity which pulled us down and destiny which broke us apart

This is the key to the kingdom and this is the town;
This is the blind horse that leads you around

You say my kisses are not like his,;
But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is.

She was born in spring, but I was born too late

She says, "What'll it be?";
I say, "I don't know, you got any soft boiled eggs?"

he not busy being born, Is busy dying

And now the heart is filled with gold;
As if it was a purse.;
But, oh, what kind of love is this;
Which goes from bad to worse?

When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke

Whatever you gonna do,;
Please do it fast.

In the day of confession;
We cannot mock a soul.;
Oh, when there's too much of nothing,;
No one has control.

I'm hungry and I'm irritable;
And I'm tired of this bag of tricks.;
At one time there was nothing wrong with me;
That you could not fix.

People disagreeing everywhere you look,;
Makes you wanna stop and read a book.

May you always know the truth;
And see the lights surrounding you.

Saw you drift into infinity and come back again

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.

I got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles,;
I think maybe we'd better leave each other alone.

I need a steam shovel mama to keep away the dead

goodbye's too good a word, gal;
so I'll just say fare thee well

Ain't complaining 'bout what I got;
Seen better times, but who has not?

it is not he or she or them or it;
That you belong to.

I wasn't born to lose you.

Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',;
But I'll know my song well before I start singin'

Give ya delusions of grandeur;
And a evil eye;
Give you idea that;
You're too good to die

I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours

Well, it's always been my nature to take chances;
My right hand drawing back while my left hand advances

Oh, some of us'll end up;
In St. Cloud Prison,;
And some of us'll wind up, To be lawyers and things

She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the Jack of Hearts

My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,;
Should I leave them by your gate,;
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?

I seen the kingdoms of the world and it's makin' me feel afraid.

And, when I was through;
I filled up my shoe;
And brought it to you.

If God's on our side;
He'll stop the next war.

Someone else is speakin' with my mouth, but I'm listening only to my heart.

I'd never say;
That I done it the way;
That you'd have liked me to.

Have you got some unfinished business?;
Is there something holding you back?;
Are you thinking for yourself;
Or are you following the pack?

The night is pitch black, come an' make my;
Pale face fit into place, ah, please!

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.

But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency,;
All non-believers and men stealers talkin' in the name of religion

Ring them bells, for the time that flies,;
For the child that cries;
When innocence dies.

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

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

You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.

I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies;
I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes

And I, I don't mind the pain;
Don't mind the driving rain;
I know I will sustain;
'Cause I believe in you.

Could you ever be true?

We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right

People carry roses Make promises by the hours My love she laughs like the flowers Valentines can't buy her

Will I ever learn that there'll be no peace, that the war won't cease;
Until He returns?

Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy

The country music station plays soft;
but there's nothing, really nothing, to turn off

I must admit I felt a little uneasy;
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
