And the words that are used; For to get the ship confused; Will not be understood as they're spoken.
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed,; Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features.
I stood unwound beneath the skies; And clouds unbound by laws.
The drinks are ready and the dogs are going to war
When I met you, baby,; You didn't show no visible scars.
the cops don't need you; and man they expect the same
And I, I don't mind the pain; Don't mind the driving rain; I know I will sustain; 'Cause I believe in you.
For the loser now; Will be later to win
I'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to me
The party's over, and there's less and less to say
I was all right 'til I fell in love with you
Without freedom of speech, I might be in the swamp.
I can't provide for you no easy answers,; Who are you that I should have to lie?
My children will go, As soon as they grow.; Well, there ain't nothing here now to hold them.
What kind of sign they need when it all come from within
Can't you make any sound?
Now, when I was just a bawlin' child,; I saw what I wanted to be
don't criticize; what you can't understand.
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
Oh, ev'ry thought that's strung a knot in my mind,; I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung.
May you have a strong foundation; When the winds of changes shift
I got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles,; I think maybe we'd better leave each other alone.
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 the bible is right, the world will explode
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',; But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin,; Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in.
She got a weird sense of humor that's all her own
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss.
Now the moon is almost hidden; The stars are beginning to hide; The fortunetelling lady; Has even taken all her things inside
I need a steam shovel mama to keep away the dead
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
I've paid the price of solitude, but at last I'm out of debt.
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke,; How long must I suffer, Lord, how long must I be provoked?; Satan will give you a little taste, then he'll move in with rapid speed,; Lord keep my blind side covered and see that I don't bleed.
All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
Betrayed by a kiss on a cool night of bliss; In the valley of the missing link
The country music station plays soft; but there's nothing, really nothing, to turn off
As the last fire truck from hell; Goes rolling by, all good people are praying
The vagabond who's rapping at your door; Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
Well, he can be fascinating, he can be dull,; He can ride down Niagara Falls in the barrels of your skull.
I can smile in the face of mankind.; Don't even remember what her lips felt like on mine; Most of the time.
I'm already there in my mind; And that's good enough for now
he not busy being born, Is busy dying
I look into the eyes of my merciful friend
And then I ask myself, is this the end?
Memories linger, sad yet sweet
And I think of the souls in heaven who will meet
She says, "What'll it be?"; I say, "I don't know, you got any soft boiled eggs?"
But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency,; All non-believers and men stealers talkin' in the name of religion
Well, I wake in the morning, Fold my hands and pray for rain.; I got a head full of ideas, That are drivin' me insane.
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.
Insanity is smashing up against my soul; You can say I was on anything but a roll; If I had a conscience, well I just might blow my top; What would I do with it anyway ; Maybe take it to the pawn shop
I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech
What happened to the real you, you've been captured but by whom?
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.
Those are the hill of heaven, my love; You and I'll never know
Junk is piling up, taking up space
The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed
Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road
The night passed away so quickly; It always does when you're with me.
Your loyalty is not to me; But to the stars above
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.
