Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood.; He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good.
And then you told me later, as I apologized; That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
What happened to the real you, you've been captured but by whom?
People carry roses
Make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her
She once was a true love of mine
Everybody's doin' something,; I heard it in a dream,; But when there's too much of nothing,; It just makes a fella mean.
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
Don't know if I saw you, if I would kiss you or kill you; It probably wouldn't matter to you anyhow
Well my nerves are exploding and my body's tense; I feel like the whole world got me pinned up against the fence
Ever since you walked right in, the circle's been complete
Everybody must get stoned.
May you have a strong foundation; When the winds of changes shift
Put your hand on my head, baby, do I have a temperature?
I like the cool way you look at me,; Everything about you is bringing me; Misery.
Go melt back into the night, babe,; Everything inside is made of stone.; There's nothing in here moving, An' anyway I'm not alone.
Leaving men wholly, totally free; To do anything they wish to do but die
Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road
I'm listening to Neil Young, I gotta turn up the sound; Someone's always yelling turn it down
Have I surrendered to the will of God; Or am I still acting like the boss?
Reality has always had too many heads
You could make me cry if you don't know.
Talk about perfection, I ain't never seen none
Every brain is civilized,; Every nerve is analyzed,; Everything is criticized when you are in need.
So long, New York.; Howdy, East Orange.
Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love.
My so-called friends have fallen under a spell.; They look me squarely in the eye and they say, "All is well."; Can they imagine the darkness that will fall from on high; When men will beg God to kill them and they won't be able to die?
You were snow, you were rain; You were striped, you were plain,;
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously; But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
If you want to live easy
Baby pack your clothes with mine
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
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
Every day of the year's like playin' Russian roulette
All the tired horses in the sun; How'm I supposed to get any ridin' done? Hmm.
Don't you know there's nothing new that's under the sun?; Well, there ain't no man righteous, no not one.
It's many a guard; That stands around smilin',; Holdin' his club; Like he was a king.
You don't want a love that's pure; You wanna drown love; You want a watered-down love
Something there is about you that brings back a long forgotten truth
'Twas then that I knew what he had on his mind.
people don’t live or die, people just float
Last night I danced with a stranger; But she just reminded me you were the one
Most of the time; I can't even be sure; If she was ever with me; Or if I was with her.
Well, if I had to do it all over again,; Babe, I'd do it all over you.
I don't mind a reasonable amount of trouble
When they came for Him in the garden, did they know?
There's some people that; You don't forget,; Even though you've only seen'm; One time or two.
Tell ev'rybody; Down in ol' 'Frisco; That Tiny Montgomery's comin'; Down to say Hello
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
Can't you hear that motor turnin'?; Automobile comin' into style
She knows where I'd like to be; But it doesn't matter.
Your magnetic movements; Still capture the minutes I'm in.
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats; Too noble to neglect; Deceived me into thinking; I had something to protect
If I had wings and I could fly,; I know where I would go.
I'll give you more gold; Than your apron can hold; If you'll only let your hair hang low
