Don't trust me to show you the truth; When the truth may only be ashes and dust.
Somethin' there is about you that I can't quite put my finger on.
You can't get to glory by the raising and the lowering of no flag.; Put your goodness next to God's and it comes out like a filthy rag.
What was it you wanted; When you were kissing my check?
No knife could ever cut our love apart
I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.
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
Oh, man has invented his doom, First step was touching the moon.
There are those who worship loneliness, I'm not one of them
May you always know the truth; And see the lights surrounding you.
he not busy being born, Is busy dying
Junk is piling up, taking up space
Well, the road is rocky and the hillside's mud; Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood
I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch.
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
Pain sure brings out the best in people, doesn't it?
What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this?
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things that remain?
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
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.; Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
You say you love me; And you're thinkin' of me,; But you know you could be wrong.
Somebody's got to find your trail,; I guess it must be up to me.
Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain
And every one of them words rang true; And glowed like burnin' coal; Pourin' off of every page; Like it was written in my soul from me to you
time is running backwards
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.
He bought me with a price,; Freed me from the pit,; Full of emptiness and wrath; And the fire that burns in it.
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
Nobody feels any pain
If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise, remind me to show you the, scars.
I hear that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.
When he died I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious
Well, I got a harmonica job, begun to play,; Blowin' my lungs out for a dollar a day.
If your mem'ry serves you well,; You'll remember you're the one; That called on me to call on them; To get you your favors done.
Well, I don't have to be no doctor, babe,; To see that you're madly in love.
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
Just like you I'm wondrin' what I'm doin' here.; Just like you I'm wondrin' what's goin' on.
I hate myself for lovin' you and the weakness that it showed; You were just a painted face on a trip down Suicide Road
Yesterday everything was going too fast; Today, it's moving too slow
It was gravity which pulled us down and destiny which broke us apart
Last night I danced with a stranger; But she just reminded me you were the one
Through the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales
Lay down your weary tune, lay down,; Lay down the song you strum,; And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings; No voice can hope to hum.
Down the highway, down the tracks, down the road to ecstasy,; I followed you beneath the stars, hounded by your memory,; And all your ragin' glory.
Lookin' at my shadow watching the colors up above
Go 'way from my window,; Leave at your own chosen speed.
You don't want a love that's pure; You wanna drown love; You want a watered-down love
Those are the hills of hell-fire my love; Where you and I will unite
Well, they're not showing any lights tonight; And there's no moon.
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
Everybody's wearing a disguise; To hide what they've got left behind their eyes
I wasn't born to lose you.
Oh, ev'ry thought that's strung a knot in my mind,; I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung.
The sun's not yellow it's chicken
Let me ask you one question; Is your money that good
