Yesterday everything was going too fast; Today, it's moving too slow
People are crazy and times are strange
Well, the road is rocky and the hillside's mud; Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood
Senor, senor, let's disconnect these cables,; Overturn these tables.; This place don't make sense to me no more.
People on the platforms; Waiting for the trains; I can hear their hearts a-beatin'; Like pendulums swinging on chains
If I ever lose her I will go insane; I go half crazy when she calls my name
Your temperature's too hot for taming
Without freedom of speech, I might be in the swamp.
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
They got him on conspiracy, they were never sure who with.
Build a fire, throw on logs; And listen to it hiss; And let it burn, burn, burn, burn; On a night like this.
Don’t think twice, it’s all right
Any day now, any day now,; I shall be released.
She knows there's no success like failure; And that failure's no success at all.
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss.
Three fellas crawlin' on their way back to work,; Nobody stops to ask why.
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,; All the pigeons gonna run to him.
I'd never say; That I done it the way; That you'd have liked me to.
When we meet again; Introduced as friends; Please don't let on that you knew me when; I was hungry and it was your world.
People carry roses
Make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her
Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder
Well, there's voices in the night trying to be heard; I'm sitting here listening to every mind polluting word
She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe; "I thought you'd never say hello," she said; "You look like the silent type."
Something there is about you that brings back a long forgotten truth
She's a hypnotist collector
That long black cloud is comin' down
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder
Now at midnight all the agents; And the superhuman crew; Come out and round up everyone; That knows more than they do
if every bone in his body was broken he would never admit it
Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line,; Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine.
Put your hand on my head, baby, do I have a temperature?
The door has closed forevermore
If indeed there ever was a door
The sun's not yellow it's chicken
She once was a true love of mine
Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer; It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.
Well, they're not showing any lights tonight; And there's no moon.
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
This wheel shall explode!
There are those who worship loneliness, I'm not one of them
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.
Well my nerves are exploding and my body's tense; I feel like the whole world got me pinned up against the fence
I know all about poison, I know all about fiery darts,; I don't care how rough the road is, show me where it starts,; Whatever pleases You, tell it to my heart.
Try to be pure at heart, they arrest you for robbery,; Mistake your shyness for aloofness, your shyness for snobbery
Wealth is a filthy rag; So erotic so unpatriotic; So wrapped up in the American flag
Goodnight, my love, may the lord have mercy on us all.
Do you ever wonder just what God requires?; You think He's just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires.
I wouldn't be ashamed to be seen with you anywhere.
he not busy being born, Is busy dying
I'm walking through streets that are dead
What was it you wanted; When you were kissing my check?
But the magician is quicker and his game; Is much thicker than blood and blacker than ink
I been hangin’ on threads
I been playin’ it straight
Now, I’ve just got to cut loose
Before it gets late
I see people who are supposed to know better standin' around like furniture.
When I met you, baby,; You didn't show no visible scars.
Last night I danced with a stranger; But she just reminded me you were the one
Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy
Lay down your weary tune, lay down,; Lay down the song you strum,; And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings; No voice can hope to hum.
