All I really want to do,; Is, baby, be friends with you.
Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted
Put my tears in a bottle
Screw the top on tight
There are those who worship loneliness, I'm not one of them
Well the desert is hot, the mountain is cursed,; Pray that I don't die of thirst,; Baby, two feet from the well.
You were snow, you were rain; You were striped, you were plain,;
Cities on fire, phones out of order
Never could learn to drink that blood; And call it wine
Do you know where we're headin'?; Lincoln County Road or Armageddon?
Roses are red, violets are blue; And time is beginning to crawl
Oh, baby, that god you been prayin' to; Is gonna give ya back what you're wishin' on someone else
Tell ev'rybody; Down in ol' 'Frisco; That Tiny Montgomery's comin'; Down to say Hello
Now at midnight all the agents; And the superhuman crew; Come out and round up everyone; That knows more than they do
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.
Well, he can be fascinating, he can be dull,; He can ride down Niagara Falls in the barrels of your skull.
It's too bright a light, he said, "For anybody's eyes,; If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."
Well, there's voices in the night trying to be heard; I'm sitting here listening to every mind polluting word
Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder
I looked at my watch; I looked at my wrist; I punched myself in the face with my fist
All my friends have told me; If I hang around with you; That I'll go blind
Don't know if I saw you, if I would kiss you or kill you; It probably wouldn't matter to you anyhow
People carry roses
Make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her
One of these days and it won't be long; Going down in the valley and sing my song; I will sing it loud and sing it strong; Let the echo decide if I was right or wrong
Everybody's doin' something,; I heard it in a dream,; But when there's too much of nothing,; It just makes a fella mean.
When we meet again; Introduced as friends; Please don't let on that you knew me when; I was hungry and it was your world.
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.
there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden
Ain't no reason to go anywhere.
Someone else is speakin' with my mouth, but I'm listening only to my heart.
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
The sun's not yellow it's chicken
She's got everything she needs,; She's an artist, she don't look back
Now you stand here expectin' me to remember somethin' you forgot to say
For I know that you know that I know that you know; Something is tearing up your mind.
Your mind is your temple, keep it beautiful and free,; Don't let an egg get laid in it by something you can't see.
It's many a guard; That stands around smilin',; Holdin' his club; Like he was a king.
What good am I if I know and don't do,; I If I see and don't say, if I look right through you
How did I meet you? I don't know.
He said his name was Columbus; I just said, "Good luck."
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
In the day of confession; We cannot mock a soul.; Oh, when there's too much of nothing,; No one has control.
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously; But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory
I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings, And I've never been too impressed.
With haunted hearts through the heat and cold
We never thought we could ever get old
Someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody
Don't trust me to show you the truth; When the truth may only be ashes and dust.
If you want to live easy
Baby pack your clothes with mine
When you think that you lost everything; You find out you can always lose a little more
People on the platforms; Waiting for the trains; I can hear their hearts a-beatin'; Like pendulums swinging on chains
I don't need no alibi when I'm spending time with you.; I've heard all of them rumors and you have heard 'em too.
Let me ask you one question; Is your money that good
You say you love me; And you're thinkin' of me,; But you know you could be wrong.
It's the ways of the flesh to war against the spirit; Twenty-four hours a day you can feel it and you can hear it; Using all the devices under the sun.
Well my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
Because something is happening here; But you don't know what it is; Do you, Mister Jones?
