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.
The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face
You're so damn nonchalant; But it's your mind that I want.
When the last rays of daylight go down; Buddy, you'll roll no more; I can hear the church bells ringing in the yard; I wonder who they're ringing for
Well, there's voices in the night trying to be heard; I'm sitting here listening to every mind polluting word
Roses are red, violets are blue; And time is beginning to crawl
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.
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
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.
Put your body next to mine; And keep me company,; There is plenty a room for all,; So please don't elbow me.
Won't you descend from the throne, from where you sit?
Never could learn to drink that blood; And call it wine
Now the rainman gave me two cures,; Then he said, "Jump right in."; The one was Texas medicine,; The other was just railroad gin.
No time to suffer or blink; And no time to think
That's how it is when things disintegrate
Silver and gold; Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
We grew up together; From the cradle to the grave; We died and were reborn; And then mysteriously saved.
Well, if I had to do it all over again,; Babe, I'd do it all over you.
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
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take; To find dignity
'Twas then that I knew what he had on his mind.
Can you tell me what we're waiting for, senor?
We pointed out the way to go; And scratched your name in sand,; Though you just thought it was nothing more; Than a place for you to stand.
They say you're usin' voodoo, I seen your feet walk by themselves
Junk is piling up, taking up space
She knows where I'd like to be; But it doesn't matter.
He said, Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?; I said, I got no money. He said, That ain't necessary.
I'm going back to New York City; I do believe I've had enough
Well, they're not showing any lights tonight; And there's no moon.
But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency,; All non-believers and men stealers talkin' in the name of religion
Now the moon is almost hidden; The stars are beginning to hide; The fortunetelling lady; Has even taken all her things inside
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.
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?
the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
Everything passes,; Everything changes,; Just do what you think you should do.
Searching for my double, looking for; Complete evaporation to the core
Well, I try my best; To be just like I am,; But everybody wants you; To be just like them.
I can't help it if I'm lucky.
Shine your light, shine your light on me; Ya know I just couldn't make it by myself.; I'm a little too blind to see
You're gonna have to serve somebody.
I don't need no alibi when I'm spending time with you.; I've heard all of them rumors and you have heard 'em too.
And, when I was through; I filled up my shoe; And brought it to you.
I wasn't born to lose you.
Well, You've done it all and there's no more anyone can pretend to do.; What can I do for You?
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
Satan whispers to ya, "Well, I don't want to bore ya,; But when ya get tired of the Miss So-and-so I got another woman for ya."
Because something is happening here; But you don't know what it is; Do you, Mister Jones?
Don't trust me to show you beauty; When beauty may only turn to rust.
I wouldn't be ashamed to be seen with you anywhere.
If this is love then gimme more; And more and more and more and more.
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
You say my kisses are not like his,; But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is.
Let me ask you one question; Is your money that good
What was it you wanted; When you were kissing my check?
You were snow, you were rain; You were striped, you were plain,;
I'll see you later when I'm not so out of my head,; Maybe next time I'll let the dead bury the dead.
It's so impossible to even learn the tune.
your pleasure knows no limits
They tell me revenge is sweet and from where they stand, I'm sure it is.
