You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
She said, "Be easy, baby,; There ain't nothin' worth stealin' in here."
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
You speak to me; In sign language; As I'm eating a sandwich
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin,; Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in.
The world of illusion is at my door
Did I miss the mark or; Over-step the line; That only you could see?
They got him on conspiracy, they were never sure who with.
If he needs a third eye he just grows it
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells; I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
Well my nerves are exploding and my body's tense; I feel like the whole world got me pinned up against the fence
Wealth is a filthy rag; So erotic so unpatriotic; So wrapped up in the American flag
The party's over, and there's less and less to say
Try to be pure at heart, they arrest you for robbery,; Mistake your shyness for aloofness, your shyness for snobbery
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
I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies; I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
At dawn my lover comes to me; And tells me of her dreams; With no attempts to shovel the glimpse; Into the ditch of what each one means
It's mighty funny; the end of time has just begun
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
as long as the world keeps a-turnin', I just keep a-turnin' too.
Let the wind blow low, let the wind blow high.; One day the little boy and the little girl were both baked in a pie.
May you have a strong foundation; When the winds of changes shift
Ever since you walked right in, the circle's been complete
Go 'way from my window,; Leave at your own chosen speed.
Can you tell me what we're waiting for, senor?
For the loser now; Will be later to win
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',; But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
People ask about you; I didn't tell them everything I knew
Your cracked country lips,; I still wish to kiss,; As to be under the strength of your skin.
Soon as a man is born, you know the sparks begin to fly, He gets wise in his own eyes and he's made to believe a lie.
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
Have I surrendered to the will of God; Or am I still acting like the boss?
I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.
I'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to me
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
I'm in the streets; With the tombstone blues
Any day now, any day now,; I shall be released.
Everything passes,; Everything changes,; Just do what you think you should do.
While my conscience explodes; The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
I stood unwound beneath the skies; And clouds unbound by laws.
We always did feel the same,; We just saw it from a different point of view
If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise, remind me to show you the, scars.
Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues; You can tell by the way she smiles
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
people don’t live or die, people just float
Maybe they'll get me and maybe they won't; But not tonight and it won't be here; There are things I could say but I don't; I know the mercy of God must be near
I just want you to know; I can see through your masks
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me,; See like me or be like me.
But the magician is quicker and his game; Is much thicker than blood and blacker than ink
People tell me it's a sin; To know and feel too much within.
I could say that I'd be faithful, I could say it in one sweet, easy breath; But to you that would be cruelty and to me it surely would be death.
Well my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
I see, I see lovers in the meadow; I see, I see silhouettes in the window; I watch them 'til they're gone and they leave me hanging on ; To a shadow
All the laughter is just making me sad
Now there's spiritual warfare and flesh and blood breaking down.; Ya either got faith or ya got unbelief and there ain't no neutral ground.
They tell me everything is gonna be all right; But I don't know what "all right" even means
if every bone in his body was broken he would never admit it
