What kind of sign they need when it all come from within
Temptation's not an easy thing
This time tomorrow I'll know you better; When my memory is not so short.
Insanity is smashing up against my soul; You can say I was on anything but a roll; If I had a conscience, well I just might blow my top; What would I do with it anyway ; Maybe take it to the pawn shop
Oh it's rush hour now; On the wheel and the plow; And the sun is going down; Upon the sacred cow.
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
My heart's in the Highlands at the break of dawn; By the beautiful lake of the Black Swan; Big white clouds, like chariots that swing down low; Well my heart's in the Highlands; Only place left to go
It's many a guard; That stands around smilin',; Holdin' his club; Like he was a king.
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
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
And I can't let go, won't let go, and I can't let go no more.
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
Reality has always had too many heads
Every time you leave and go off someplace,; Things fall to pieces in my face
I gotta go; Find out something only dead men know
This is the key to the kingdom and this is the town; This is the blind horse that leads you around
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
Drinkin' man listens to the voice he hears; In a crowded room full of covered up mirrors; Lookin' into the lost forgotten years; For dignity
Senor, senor, let's disconnect these cables,; Overturn these tables.; This place don't make sense to me no more.
I'm sick of love but I'm in the thick of it
Ain't no reason to go anywhere.
she's true, like ice, like fire
I'll see you later when I'm not so out of my head,; Maybe next time I'll let the dead bury the dead.
She said, "Be easy, baby,; There ain't nothin' worth stealin' in here."
I'd never say; That I done it the way; That you'd have liked me to.
What looks large from a distance,; Close up ain't never that big.
You lose yourself, you reappear
He bought me with a price,; Freed me from the pit,; Full of emptiness and wrath; And the fire that burns in it.
Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy
Wealth is a filthy rag; So erotic so unpatriotic; So wrapped up in the American flag
Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road
It was true that in his later years he would not carry a gun; "I'm around too many children," he'd say, "they should never know of one."
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past; I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
I can smile in the face of mankind.; Don't even remember what her lips felt like on mine; Most of the time.
She was born in spring, but I was born too late
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
It's the last temptation; The last account; The last time you might hear the sermon on the mount,; The last radio is playing.
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.
Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial
Did I miss the mark or; Over-step the line; That only you could see?
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
Well, you're on your own, you always were,; In a land of wolves and thieves.
I see people in the park forgetting their troubles and woes; They're drinking and dancing, wearing bright colored clothes; All the young men with their young women looking so good; Well, I'd trade places with any of them ; In a minute, if I could
You don't want a love that's pure; You wanna drown love; You want a watered-down love
Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood.; He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good.
I'm in the streets; With the tombstone blues
Your temperature's too hot for taming
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
Do you know where we're headin'?; Lincoln County Road or Armageddon?
Just what do you think you have to guard?
People disagreeing everywhere you look,; Makes you wanna stop and read a book.
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
How can I explain?; Oh, it's so hard to get on
They say ev'rything can be replaced
Well, there's voices in the night trying to be heard; I'm sitting here listening to every mind polluting word
