She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
Put your hand on my head, baby, do I have a temperature?
Don't you cry and don't you die and don't you burn
I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.
Now there's spiritual warfare and flesh and blood breaking down.;
Ya either got faith or ya got unbelief and there ain't no neutral ground.
All the tired horses in the sun;
How'm I supposed to get any ridin' done? Hmm.
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
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed,;
Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features.
Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
I don't want to fake you out
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.
I wouldn't be ashamed to be seen with you anywhere.
Dark Beauty;
Meet me at the border late tonight
Well, You've done it all and there's no more anyone can pretend to do.;
What can I do for You?
Shine your light, shine your light on me;
Ya know I just couldn't make it by myself.;
I'm a little too blind to see
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."
He bought me with a price,;
Freed me from the pit,;
Full of emptiness and wrath;
And the fire that burns in it.
Can you tell me what we're waiting for, senor?
I was just too stubborn to ever be governed by enforced insanity
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
as long as the world keeps a-turnin', I just keep a-turnin' too.
Some things in life, it gets too late to learn
Do you ever wonder just what God requires?;
You think He's just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires.
Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road
While my conscience explodes;
The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
Reality has always had too many heads
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
You're gonna have to serve somebody.
Look into infinity, all you see is trouble.
