Someone else is speakin' with my mouth, but I'm listening only to my heart.
Maybe they'll get me and maybe they won't; But not tonight and it won't be here; There are things I could say but I don't; I know the mercy of God must be near
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
They tell me revenge is sweet and from where they stand, I'm sure it is.
There's only one step down from here, baby,; It's called the land of permanent bliss.
Your magnetic movements; Still capture the minutes I'm in.
Now the rainman gave me two cures,; Then he said, "Jump right in."; The one was Texas medicine,; The other was just railroad gin.
You should be made; To wear earphones
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
People on the platforms; Waiting for the trains; I can hear their hearts a-beatin'; Like pendulums swinging on chains
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
If you're looking for assistance, babe,; Or if you just want some company; Or if you just want a friend you can talk to,; Honey, come and see about me.
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
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,; Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,; With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,; Let me forget about today until tomorrow.
You say you love me; And you're thinkin' of me,; But you know you could be wrong.
No time to suffer or blink; And no time to think
The sky is erupting, I must go where it's quiet.
Get the loot, don't be slow, we're gonna catch a trout
It's for myself and my friends my stories are sung.
I can't provide for you no easy answers,; Who are you that I should have to lie?
The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face
Don't follow leaders; Watch the parkin' meters
I wish that for just one time; You could stand inside my shoes; You'd know what a drag it is; To see you
Yes, I know now, traps are only set by me; And I do not really need to be; Assured that love is just a four-letter word
I need a steam shovel mama to keep away the dead
Just like you I'm wondrin' what I'm doin' here.; Just like you I'm wondrin' what's goin' on.
'Twas then that I knew what he had on his mind.
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
You will search, babe, At any cost.; But how long, babe, Can you search for what's not lost?
Have I surrendered to the will of God; Or am I still acting like the boss?
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
For I know that you know that I know that you know; Something is tearing up your mind.
Took a stranger to teach me, to look into justice's beautiful face; And to see an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
It's too bright a light, he said, "For anybody's eyes,; If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."
I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch.
Lost time is not found again
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',; But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
Put my tears in a bottle
Screw the top on tight
All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
Silver and gold; Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
Somethin' there is about you that I can't quite put my finger on.
Well, I wake in the morning, Fold my hands and pray for rain.; I got a head full of ideas, That are drivin' me insane.
When I met you, baby,; You didn't show no visible scars.
There was music in the cafes at night; And revolution in the air.
If God's on our side; He'll stop the next war.
But the magician is quicker and his game; Is much thicker than blood and blacker than ink
When you cease to exist, then who will you blame?; I've tried my best to love you, but I cannot play this game; Your best friend and my worst enemy is one and the same
The door has closed forevermore
If indeed there ever was a door
What looks large from a distance,; Close up ain't never that big.
Don't have to look no further, you're the soul of many things.
I'm in love with the Ugliest Girl in the World
What good am I if I know and don't do,; I If I see and don't say, if I look right through you
Oh my name it is nothin'; My age it means less
You're so damn nonchalant; But it's your mind that I want.
When you think that you lost everything; You find out you can always lose a little more
She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe; "I thought you'd never say hello," she said; "You look like the silent type."
