There was music in the cafes at night; And revolution in the air.
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
Well, I wake in the morning, Fold my hands and pray for rain.; I got a head full of ideas, That are drivin' me insane.
I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings, And I've never been too impressed.
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
Does she know I still care?
If this is love then gimme more; And more and more and more and more.
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
Everybody must get stoned.
Our conversation was short and sweet; It nearly swept me off-a my feet.
Time passes slowly when you're lost in a dream.
don't criticize; what you can't understand.
Lot of water under the bridge, Lot of other stuff too; Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through
Now the rainman gave me two cures,; Then he said, "Jump right in."; The one was Texas medicine,; The other was just railroad gin.
Three fellas crawlin' on their way back to work,; Nobody stops to ask why.
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
I'm going back to New York City; I do believe I've had enough
When I met you, baby,; You didn't show no visible scars.
she's true, like ice, like fire
to live outside the law, you must be honest
When you know as well as me; You'd rather see me paralyzed
Won't you come with me, baby?; I'll take you where you wanna go.; And if it don't work out, You'll be the first to know
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore; You may not see me tomorrow.
I got new eyes ; Everything looks far away
Nobody feels any pain
Well, you're so bad and nasty; But I love you, yes I do
And I, I don't mind the pain; Don't mind the driving rain; I know I will sustain; 'Cause I believe in you.
If dogs run free, why not me; Across the swamp of time?
If I ever lose her I will go insane; I go half crazy when she calls my name
I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
I hate myself for lovin' you and the weakness that it showed; You were just a painted face on a trip down Suicide Road
When there is no more,; You cut to the core; Quicker than anyone I knew.
How does it feel
Ain't complaining 'bout what I got; Seen better times, but who has not?
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
She knows where I'd like to be; But it doesn't matter.
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.
Thought I'd shaken the wonder and the phantoms of my youth
And every time you get this close; It makes me want to scream
Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
I thought somehow that I would be spared this fate
I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech
I'm walking through streets that are dead
Put your ear to the train tracks, put your ear to the ground,; You ever feel like you're never alone even when there's nobody else around?; Since the beginning of the universe man's been cursed by trouble.
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.
Don't trust me to show you beauty; When beauty may only turn to rust.
Yes, I know now, traps are only set by me; And I do not really need to be; Assured that love is just a four-letter word
Some things in life, it gets too late to learn
It's all been designed, he said, "To make you lose your mind,; And when you go back to find it, there's nothing there to find."
Now the moon is almost hidden; The stars are beginning to hide; The fortunetelling lady; Has even taken all her things inside
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
If you're lookin' to get silly; You better go back to from where you came
Done so many evil things in the name of love, it's a crying shame; I never did see no fire that could put out a flame.
I'm going out of my mind; With a pain that stops and starts
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past; I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
You're so damn nonchalant; But it's your mind that I want.
Did I miss the mark or; Over-step the line; That only you could see?
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
