Oh ev'ry foe that ever I faced
The cause was there before we came.
Here is your throat back; Thanks for the loan
Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift
if every bone in his body was broken he would never admit it
People carry roses
Make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
Oh, ev'ry thought that's strung a knot in my mind,; I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung.
Your loyalty is not to me; But to the stars above
They tell me revenge is sweet and from where they stand, I'm sure it is.
All I really want to do,; Is, baby, be friends with you.
And, when I was through; I filled up my shoe; And brought it to you.
Ain't no reason to go anywhere.
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
I still can remember the way that you smiled
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.
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
I'm glad to see you're still alive, you're lookin' like a saint.
The vagabond who's rapping at your door; Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
Every day of the year's like playin' Russian roulette
What looks large from a distance,; Close up ain't never that big.
And if my thought-dreams could be seen, They'd probably put my head in a guillotine
In the hills of mystery,; In the foggy web of destiny,; You can have what's left of me,; Where we were born in time.
With haunted hearts through the heat and cold
We never thought we could ever get old
I'm hungry and I'm irritable; And I'm tired of this bag of tricks.; At one time there was nothing wrong with me; That you could not fix.
If you want to live easy
Baby pack your clothes with mine
Mama, take this badge off of me
I know all about poison, I know all about fiery darts,; I don't care how rough the road is, show me where it starts,; Whatever pleases You, tell it to my heart.
We never thought we could ever get old.; We thought we could sit forever in fun
Any day now, any day now,; I shall be released.
I wish that for just one time; You could stand inside my shoes; You'd know what a drag it is; To see you
The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
I've already ripped out the phones, honey.; You can't walk the streets in a war
I don't wanna be hers, I wanna be yours.
Lovin' you is the one thing I'll never regret.
You don't need a weather man; To know which way the wind blows
The country music station plays soft; but there's nothing, really nothing, to turn off
I need a steam shovel mama to keep away the dead
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
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."
Louise, she's all right, she's just near; She's delicate and seems like the mirror; But she just makes it all too concise and too clear; That Johanna's not here
People disagreeing everywhere you look,; Makes you wanna stop and read a book.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
I don't want to fake you out
I don't know why I love her but I just can't stop
But even the president of the United States, Sometimes must have, To stand naked.
What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this?
People are crazy and times are strange
Has the record been breaking,; Did the needle just skip
Searching for my double, looking for; Complete evaporation to the core
Well, I try my best; To be just like I am,; But everybody wants you; To be just like them.
He looks so truthful, is this how he feels; Trying to peel the moon and expose it
Well, you're so bad and nasty; But I love you, yes I do
And you never ask questions; When God's on your side.
When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things that remain?
She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the Jack of Hearts
Don't trust me to show you the truth; When the truth may only be ashes and dust.
