as long as the world keeps a-turnin', I just keep a-turnin' too.

I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech

And every one of them words rang true;
And glowed like burnin' coal;
Pourin' off of every page;
Like it was written in my soul from me to you

Yes, I see you on your window ledge;
But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge

You don't want a love that's pure;
You wanna drown love;
You want a watered-down love

She's got everything she needs,;
She's an artist, she don't look back

Down the highway, down the tracks, down the road to ecstasy,;
I followed you beneath the stars, hounded by your memory,;
And all your ragin' glory.

I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it

Well, I try my best;
To be just like I am,;
But everybody wants you;
To be just like them.

It's mighty funny;
the end of time has just begun

Your loyalty is not to me;
But to the stars above

Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress

People disagreeing on all just about everything, yeah,;
Makes you stop and all wonder why.

Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously;
But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.

Don't the moon look good, mama, Shinin' through the trees?

Your cracked country lips,;
I still wish to kiss,;
As to be under the strength of your skin.

If you want to live easy Baby pack your clothes with mine

Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast;
Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last.

Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,;
Blowing through the letters that we wrote.

Oh, some of us'll end up;
In St. Cloud Prison,;
And some of us'll wind up, To be lawyers and things

Cities on fire, phones out of order

I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells;
I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through

On the rising curve,;
Where the ways of nature will test every nerve,;
You won't get anything you don't deserve,;
Where we were born in time.

I don't mind a reasonable amount of trouble

Oh, ev'ry thought that's strung a knot in my mind,;
I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung.

Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more

Everything passes,;
Everything changes,;
Just do what you think you should do.

Ain't no reason to go anywhere.

I just can't fit;
Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit

Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer;
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.

And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,;
And the dust of rumors covers me.

I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet

Too many thoughts get in the way in the day

it is not he or she or them or it;
That you belong to.

Do I need your permission to turn the other cheek?;
If you can read my mind, why must I speak?

This time tomorrow I'll know you better;
When my memory is not so short.

Some things last longer than you think they will;
There are some kind of things you can never kill

My conscience is beginning to bother me today.

If dogs run free, why not me;
Across the swamp of time?

Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past;
I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast

I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,;
That we could sit simply in that room again.

My children will go, As soon as they grow.;
Well, there ain't nothing here now to hold them.

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.

How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?

So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.

Gonna take dancing lessons do the jitterbug rag;
Ain't no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag;
Only a fool in here would think he's got anything to prove

When there is no more,;
You cut to the core;
Quicker than anyone I knew.

I looked at my watch;
I looked at my wrist;
I punched myself in the face with my fist

It ain't my cup of meat.

I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me,;
See like me or be like me.

Put my tears in a bottle Screw the top on tight

I was all right 'til I fell in love with you

If I had wings and I could fly,;
I know where I would go.

You got a lotta nerve;
To say you are my friend

Leaving men wholly, totally free;
To do anything they wish to do but die

All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie

The angels play on their horns all day,;
The whole earth in progression seems to pass by.;
But does anyone hear the music they play,;
Does anyone even try?

Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy

The walls of pride are high and wide;
Can't see over to the other side;
It's such a sad thing to see beauty decay;
It's sadder still, to feel your heart torn away
