Always on the outside of whatever side there was,; When they asked him why it had to be that way, "Well," he answered, "just because."
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin,; Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in.
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.
She still lives inside of me, we've never been apart.
And, when I was through; I filled up my shoe; And brought it to you.
It was then that I got up to leave; But she said, "Don't forget,; Everybody must give something back; For something they get."
people don’t live or die, people just float
Give ya delusions of grandeur; And a evil eye; Give you idea that; You're too good to die
But I mean no harm nor put fault, On anyone that lives in a vault, But it's alright, Ma, if I can't please him.
Wealth is a filthy rag; So erotic so unpatriotic; So wrapped up in the American flag
Boys in the street beginning to play; Girls like birds flying away
You think you can hide but you're never alone,; Ask Lot what he thought when his wife turned to stone.
I don't want to fake you out
Never could learn to drink that blood; And call it wine
I'm goin' down to Tennessee,; Get me a truck 'r somethin'.; Gonna save my money and rip it up!
She said, "Be easy, baby,; There ain't nothin' worth stealin' in here."
Now the moon is almost hidden; The stars are beginning to hide; The fortunetelling lady; Has even taken all her things inside
We grew up together; From the cradle to the grave; We died and were reborn; And then mysteriously saved.
I seen the kingdoms of the world and it's makin' me feel afraid.
For the loser now; Will be later to win
Searching for my double, looking for; Complete evaporation to the core
You say you love me; And you're thinkin' of me,; But you know you could be wrong.
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
she's true, like ice, like fire
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
Those are the hill of heaven, my love; You and I'll never know
Has the record been breaking,; Did the needle just skip
They tell me revenge is sweet and from where they stand, I'm sure it is.
Oh, but if I had the stars from the darkest night,; And the diamonds from the deepest ocean,; I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss,; For that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'.
Precious angel, you believe me when I say; What God has given to us no man can take away.
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
Those are the hills of hell-fire my love; Where you and I will unite
You lose yourself, you reappear
You were snow, you were rain; You were striped, you were plain,;
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past; I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
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."
Can you tell me what we're waiting for, senor?
I'm in a cowboy band
That's how it is when things disintegrate
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,; Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,; With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,; Let me forget about today until tomorrow.
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.
I need a dump truck mama to unload my head
That long black cloud is comin' down
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.
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
Turn your back, wash your hands,; There's always someone who understands
Don't you know there's nothing new that's under the sun?; Well, there ain't no man righteous, no not one.
'Cause he doesn't tell you jokes or fairy tales, say he's got no style.
My love she speaks like silence
Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed
A saxophone someplace far off played
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.
Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed; Dignity never been photographed
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
Do you know where we're headin'?; Lincoln County Road or Armageddon?
I believe in the impossible, you know that I do
Pain sure brings out the best in people, doesn't it?
