Now, a very great man once said; That some people rob you with a fountain pen.; It didn't take too long to find out; Just what he was talkin' about.
Wallflower, wallflower; Take a chance on me.; Please let me ride you home.
There's always some new stranger sneakin' glances,; Some trigger-happy fool willin' to take chances
They tell me everything is gonna be all right; But I don't know what "all right" even means
Well, if I had to do it all over again,; Babe, I'd do it all over you.
And if my thought-dreams could be seen, They'd probably put my head in a guillotine
As the last fire truck from hell; Goes rolling by, all good people are praying
Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder
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
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
Well, I asked for something to eat; I'm hungry as a hog; So I get brown rice, seaweed; And a dirty hot dog
If you're a doctor, I need a shot of love.
I seen the kingdoms of the world and it's makin' me feel afraid.
Betrayed by a kiss on a cool night of bliss; In the valley of the missing link
I am hanging in the balance, of the reality of man; like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand
I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech
They say ev'rything can be replaced
It's mighty funny; the end of time has just begun
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
Precious angel, you believe me when I say; What God has given to us no man can take away.
When destruction cometh swiftly; And there's no time to say a fare-thee-well,; Have you decided whether you want to be; In heaven or in hell?
The sun's not yellow it's chicken
Every brain is civilized,; Every nerve is analyzed,; Everything is criticized when you are in need.
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,; All the pigeons gonna run to him.
Where black is the color, where none is the number
I was in a whirlwind, now I'm in some better place.
No knife could ever cut our love apart
Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted
Everybody must get stoned.
I've been walking through the middle of nowhere; Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
In the home of the brave
Jefferson turnin’ over in his grave
Not one more night, not one more kiss,; Not this time baby, no more of this,; Takes too much skill, takes too much will,; It's revealing.
Well my nerves are exploding and my body's tense; I feel like the whole world got me pinned up against the fence
There's only one step down from here, baby,; It's called the land of permanent bliss.
The night passed away so quickly; It always does when you're with me.
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
You think you can hide but you're never alone,; Ask Lot what he thought when his wife turned to stone.
My so-called friends have fallen under a spell.; They look me squarely in the eye and they say, "All is well."; Can they imagine the darkness that will fall from on high; When men will beg God to kill them and they won't be able to die?
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore; You may not see me tomorrow.
Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that it passes through
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
They like to take all this money from sin, build big universities to study in; Sing Amazing Grace all the way to the Swiss banks
Now, when I was just a bawlin' child,; I saw what I wanted to be
Nations are angry, cursed are some,; People are expecting a false peace to come.
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.
It's too bright a light, he said, "For anybody's eyes,; If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."
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
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."
I'll remember you; At the end of the trail,; I had so much left to do,; I had so little time to fail.
Give ya delusions of grandeur; And a evil eye; Give you idea that; You're too good to die
Praise be to Nero's Neptune; The Titanic sails at dawn; And everybody's shouting; Which Side Are You On?
When you think that you lost everything; You find out you can always lose a little more
They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table.
Oh what dear daughter 'neath the sun; Would treat a father so,; To wait upon him hand and foot; And always tell him, "No"?
