People ask about you;
I didn't tell them everything I knew
there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden
When he died I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious
Give ya delusions of grandeur;
And a evil eye;
Give you idea that;
You're too good to die
It's the last temptation;
The last account;
The last time you might hear the sermon on the mount,;
The last radio is playing.
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
You think you can hide but you're never alone,;
Ask Lot what he thought when his wife turned to stone.
All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
Now at midnight all the agents;
And the superhuman crew;
Come out and round up everyone;
That knows more than they do
I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still
And I can't let go, won't let go, and I can't let go no more.
Well, I try my best;
To be just like I am,;
But everybody wants you;
To be just like them.
It's many a guard;
That stands around smilin',;
Holdin' his club;
Like he was a king.
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
it is not he or she or them or it;
That you belong to.
And now the heart is filled with gold;
As if it was a purse.;
But, oh, what kind of love is this;
Which goes from bad to worse?
Just do your thing, you'll be king;
If dogs run free.
The sky is trembling, And I must leave.
But the magician is quicker and his game;
Is much thicker than blood and blacker than ink
I'm in the streets;
With the tombstone blues
I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
Silver and gold;
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
No knife could ever cut our love apart
What makes the wind wanna blow tonight?
take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind
Lot of water under the bridge, Lot of other stuff too;
Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through
I got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles,;
I think maybe we'd better leave each other alone.
If dogs run free, why not me;
Across the swamp of time?
You cast your spell and I went under,;
I find it so difficult to leave.
He said his name was Columbus;
I just said, "Good luck."
If I ever lose her I will go insane;
I go half crazy when she calls my name
That long black cloud is comin' down
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
My head tells me it's time to make a change;
But my heart is telling me I love ya but you're strange.
We're going all the way 'til the wheels fall off and burn
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
Then she says, "I know you're an artist, draw a picture of me!";
I say, "I would if I could, but, ;
I don't do sketches from memory."
You're gonna have to serve somebody.
Oh my name it is nothin';
My age it means less
And, when I was through;
I filled up my shoe;
And brought it to you.
The vagabond who's rapping at your door;
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood.;
He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good.
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting;
That's hanging in the Louvre
I don't mind a reasonable amount of trouble
If the bible is right, the world will explode
She says, "What'll it be?";
I say, "I don't know, you got any soft boiled eggs?"
Oh, man has invented his doom, First step was touching the moon.
You're so damn nonchalant;
But it's your mind that I want.
Any day now, any day now,;
I shall be released.
An' here I sit so patiently;
Waiting to find out what price;
You have to pay to get out of;
Going through all these things twice.
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
And if my thought-dreams could be seen, They'd probably put my head in a guillotine
goodbye's too good a word, gal;
so I'll just say fare thee well
You were snow, you were rain;
You were striped, you were plain,;
But even the president of the United States, Sometimes must have, To stand naked.
He said, Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?;
I said, I got no money. He said, That ain't necessary.
