Some things last longer than you think they will; There are some kind of things you can never kill
Since every pleasure's got an edge of pain; Pay for your ticket and don't complain
Ain't complaining 'bout what I got; Seen better times, but who has not?
He bought me with a price,; Freed me from the pit,; Full of emptiness and wrath; And the fire that burns in it.
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
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.
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.
What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this?
I don't wanna be hers, I wanna be yours.
Well, you're so bad and nasty; But I love you, yes I do
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.
Lookin' at my shadow watching the colors up above
I don't know why I love her but I just can't stop
In the home of the brave
Jefferson turnin’ over in his grave
People ask about you; I didn't tell them everything I knew
Tell her she can look me up if she's got the time.
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."
I was in a whirlwind, now I'm in some better place.
I'll give you more gold; Than your apron can hold; If you'll only let your hair hang low
I'd never say; That I done it the way; That you'd have liked me to.
In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection
We're idiots, babe.; It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves.
This is the key to the kingdom and this is the town; This is the blind horse that leads you around
You don't want a love that's pure; You wanna drown love; You want a watered-down love
Those are the hills of hell-fire my love; Where you and I will unite
That long black cloud is comin' down
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."
Do you ever wonder just what God requires?; You think He's just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires.
Did I miss the mark or; Over-step the line; That only you could see?
Well, You've done it all and there's no more anyone can pretend to do.; What can I do for You?
Praise be to Nero's Neptune; The Titanic sails at dawn; And everybody's shouting; Which Side Are You On?
Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties; Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
She's a hypnotist collector
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin,; Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in.
'Cause he doesn't tell you jokes or fairy tales, say he's got no style.
Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
She said, "Be easy, baby,; There ain't nothin' worth stealin' in here."
You should be made; To wear earphones
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
One of these days and it won't be long; Going down in the valley and sing my song; I will sing it loud and sing it strong; Let the echo decide if I was right or wrong
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
The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder
I've already ripped out the phones, honey.; You can't walk the streets in a war
Go 'way from my window,; Leave at your own chosen speed.
Oh my name it is nothin'; My age it means less
It was gravity which pulled us down and destiny which broke us apart
I must admit I felt a little uneasy; When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
If you want to live easy
Baby pack your clothes with mine
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
I fought with my twin, that enemy within, 'til both of us fell by the way.
Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy
God is in heaven; And we all want what's his; But power and greed and corruptible seed; Seem to be all that there is
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
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me,; See like me or be like me.
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
Somebody's got to find your trail,; I guess it must be up to me.
take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind
May you have a strong foundation; When the winds of changes shift
