Boys in the street beginning to play; Girls like birds flying away
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
For all eternity I think I will remember; That icy wind that's howling in your eye.
Any day now, any day now,; I shall be released.
She knows where I'd like to be; But it doesn't matter.
Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed; Dignity never been photographed
It was then that I got up to leave; But she said, "Don't forget,; Everybody must give something back; For something they get."
The door has closed forevermore
If indeed there ever was a door
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
I must be guilty of something,; You just whisper it into my ear.
All he believes are his eyes, And his eyes, they just tell him lies
You're so damn nonchalant; But it's your mind that I want.
I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech
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
And every time you get this close; It makes me want to scream
Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted
Searching for my double, looking for; Complete evaporation to the core
We heard the Sermon on the Mount and I knew it was too complex,; It didn't amount to anything more than what the broken glass reflects.
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
If he needs a third eye he just grows it
You cast your spell and I went under,; I find it so difficult to leave.
I fought with my twin, that enemy within, 'til both of us fell by the way.
It ain't my cup of meat.
Now the rainman gave me two cures,; Then he said, "Jump right in."; The one was Texas medicine,; The other was just railroad gin.
Most of the time; I can't even be sure; If she was ever with me; Or if I was with her.
And then you told me later, as I apologized; That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
Well, I asked for something to eat; I'm hungry as a hog; So I get brown rice, seaweed; And a dirty hot dog
Are you looking at me and thinking of somebody else?
How did I meet you? I don't know.
Well my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
I'm in a cowboy band
I don't need any reminder; To know how much I really care
If dogs run free, why not me; Across the swamp of time?
I'll remember you; At the end of the trail,; I had so much left to do,; I had so little time to fail.
What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood
There's some people that; You don't forget,; Even though you've only seen'm; One time or two.
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise, remind me to show you the, scars.
Rock me, pretty baby, rock me 'til everything gets real; Rock me for a little while, rock me 'til there's nothing left to feel; And I'll rock you too
Well, they're not showing any lights tonight; And there's no moon.
But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency
My feet are so tired, my brain is so wired
I'm listening to Neil Young, I gotta turn up the sound; Someone's always yelling turn it down
Here is your throat back; Thanks for the loan
Does she know I still care?
There's only one step down from here, baby,; It's called the land of permanent bliss.
Whatever you gonna do,; Please do it fast.
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
I been hangin’ on threads
I been playin’ it straight
Now, I’ve just got to cut loose
Before it gets late
You're the one I've been looking for,; You're the one that's got the key.; But I can't figure out whether I'm too good for you; Or you're too good for me.
Soon as a man is born, you know the sparks begin to fly, He gets wise in his own eyes and he's made to believe a lie.
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.
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
I'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to me
Well, you're so bad and nasty; But I love you, yes I do
