All the people we used to know; Are an illusion to me now
Well, You've done it all and there's no more anyone can pretend to do.; What can I do for You?
The way is long but the end is near, Already the fiesta has begun
Leaving men wholly, totally free; To do anything they wish to do but die
Those are the hills of hell-fire my love; Where you and I will unite
I believe in the impossible, you know that I do
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
No time to suffer or blink; And no time to think
Run your fingers down my spine; Bring me a touch of bliss
People tell me it's a sin; To know and feel too much within.
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.
Gon' walk on down until I'm right beside the sun; I'm gonna have to put up a barrier to keep myself away from everyone.
I hate myself for lovin' you and the weakness that it showed; You were just a painted face on a trip down Suicide Road
Three fellas crawlin' on their way back to work,; Nobody stops to ask why.
And then you told me later, as I apologized; That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
It's mighty funny; the end of time has just begun
There are those who worship loneliness, I'm not one of them
I want to thank You, Lord,; I just want to thank You, Lord,; Thank You, Lord.
Most of the time; I can't even be sure; If she was ever with me; Or if I was with her.
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
Do you ever wonder just what God requires?; You think He's just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires.
I'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to me
Betrayed by a kiss on a cool night of bliss; In the valley of the missing link
That's how it is when things disintegrate
We're going all the way 'til the wheels fall off and burn
All he believes are his eyes, And his eyes, they just tell him lies
Son, this ain't a dream no more, it's the real thing.
I hear that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.
Some things last longer than you think they will; There are some kind of things you can never kill
May you have a strong foundation; When the winds of changes shift
Well, the chances are against it and the odds are slim,; That he'll live by the rules that the world makes for him
As his youth now unfolds; He is centuries old; Just to see him at play makes me smile; No matter what happens to me; No matter what my destiny; Lord, protect my child
They got him on conspiracy, they were never sure who with.
She knows there's no success like failure; And that failure's no success at all.
she's true, like ice, like fire
When you think that you lost everything; You find out you can always lose a little more
All the tired horses in the sun; How'm I supposed to get any ridin' done? Hmm.
Am I no longer a part of your plans or your dreams?
Every time you leave and go off someplace,; Things fall to pieces in my face
You cast your spell and I went under,; I find it so difficult to leave.
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.
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
And I can't let go, won't let go, and I can't let go no more.
I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail,; Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail,; Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn.
The vagabond who's rapping at your door; Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
Everybody's wearing a disguise; To hide what they've got left behind their eyes
They said it was the land of milk and honey,; now they say it's the land of money.; Who ever thought they could ever make that stick.
He looks so truthful, is this how he feels; Trying to peel the moon and expose it
What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood
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."
They say you're usin' voodoo, I seen your feet walk by themselves
I need a dump truck mama to unload my head
But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency
And if my thought-dreams could be seen, They'd probably put my head in a guillotine
Well I don't dare close my eyes and I don't dare wink; Maybe in the next life I'll be able to hear myself think
