The door has closed forevermore
If indeed there ever was a door
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency
People ask about you; I didn't tell them everything I knew
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
Try to be pure at heart, they arrest you for robbery,; Mistake your shyness for aloofness, your shyness for snobbery
Have I surrendered to the will of God; Or am I still acting like the boss?
Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood.; He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good.
They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table.
In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours
Gon' walk on down that dirt road 'til I'm right beside the sun
There are those who worship loneliness, I'm not one of them
Everybody's wearing a disguise; To hide what they've got left behind their eyes
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation; There are no words that need to be said
if there's an original thought out there, I could use it right now
I'm walking through streets that are dead
Mama, take this badge off of me
You're so damn nonchalant; But it's your mind that I want.
I don't want to fake you out
Now, when I was just a bawlin' child,; I saw what I wanted to be
Time passes slowly when you're lost in a dream.
If this is love then gimme more; And more and more and more and more.
I want to thank You, Lord,; I just want to thank You, Lord,; Thank You, Lord.
And then you told me later, as I apologized; That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
On the rising curve,; Where the ways of nature will test every nerve,; You won't get anything you don't deserve,; Where we were born in time.
I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still
At the corrida we'll sit in the shade; And watch the young torero stand alone.; We'll drink tequila where our grandfathers stayed; When they rode with Villa into Torreon.
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,; And the dust of rumors covers me.
I'm in love with the Ugliest Girl in the World
Oh ev'ry foe that ever I faced
The cause was there before we came.
I just can't fit; Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
Won't you dance with me?; I'm fallin' in love with you.
Was that the thunder that I heard?; My head is vibrating, I feel a sharp pain
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
Will I ever learn that there'll be no peace, that the war won't cease; Until He returns?
You breathed on me and made my life a richer one to live,; When I was deep in poverty you taught me how to give
You could ride like Annie Oakley,; You could shoot like Belle Starr.
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke
What happened to the real you, you've been captured but by whom?
Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,; Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
Leaving men wholly, totally free; To do anything they wish to do but die
For I know that you know that I know that you know; Something is tearing up your mind.
If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise, remind me to show you the, scars.
You will search, babe, At any cost.; But how long, babe, Can you search for what's not lost?
Silver and gold; Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
The party's over, and there's less and less to say
The sky is trembling, And I must leave.
I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring.
Three fellas crawlin' on their way back to work,; Nobody stops to ask why.
You were snow, you were rain; You were striped, you were plain,;
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
If you're a doctor, I need a shot of love.
Senor, senor, let's disconnect these cables,; Overturn these tables.; This place don't make sense to me no more.
Won't you descend from the throne, from where you sit?
