I was just too stubborn to ever be governed by enforced insanity
But I will be back, I will survive,; You'll never get rid of me as long as you're alive.
Now you stand here expectin' me to remember somethin' you forgot to say
Don't trust me to show you the truth; When the truth may only be ashes and dust.
You're the one I adore, come over here and give me more
There are those who worship loneliness, I'm not one of them
He said his name was Columbus; I just said, "Good luck."
It was then that I got up to leave; But she said, "Don't forget,; Everybody must give something back; For something they get."
What happened to the real you, you've been captured but by whom?
Yes, I see you on your window ledge; But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge
In the day of confession; We cannot mock a soul.; Oh, when there's too much of nothing,; No one has control.
This is the key to the kingdom and this is the town; This is the blind horse that leads you around
Whatever you wanted; Slipped out of my mind
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
If you're looking for assistance, babe,; Or if you just want some company; Or if you just want a friend you can talk to,; Honey, come and see about me.
Lost time is not found again
But does anyone hear the music they play
Does anyone even try?
Well, I asked for something to eat; I'm hungry as a hog; So I get brown rice, seaweed; And a dirty hot dog
I got new eyes ; Everything looks far away
I'll remember you; When the wind blows through the piney wood.
the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
Don't you know there's nothing new that's under the sun?; Well, there ain't no man righteous, no not one.
Every time you leave and go off someplace,; Things fall to pieces in my face
At dawn my lover comes to me; And tells me of her dreams; With no attempts to shovel the glimpse; Into the ditch of what each one means
We're idiots, babe.; It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves.
Mama, take this badge off of me
You don't want a love that's pure; You wanna drown love; You want a watered-down love
Done so many evil things in the name of love, it's a crying shame; I never did see no fire that could put out a flame.
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
There's some people that; You don't forget,; Even though you've only seen'm; One time or two.
Everybody's doin' something,; I heard it in a dream,; But when there's too much of nothing,; It just makes a fella mean.
As his youth now unfolds; He is centuries old; Just to see him at play makes me smile; No matter what happens to me; No matter what my destiny; Lord, protect my child
But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency
We grew up together; From the cradle to the grave; We died and were reborn; And then mysteriously saved.
Am I no longer a part of your plans or your dreams?
take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind
I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
People ask about you; I didn't tell them everything I knew
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
And I can't let go, won't let go, and I can't let go no more.
she's true, like ice, like fire
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
Yesterday everything was going too fast; Today, it's moving too slow
You're so damn nonchalant; But it's your mind that I want.
I finally realize there's no room for regret
Oh it's rush hour now; On the wheel and the plow; And the sun is going down; Upon the sacred cow.
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
Nations are angry, cursed are some,; People are expecting a false peace to come.
Ain't complaining 'bout what I got; Seen better times, but who has not?
Some things are too hot to touch; The human mind can only stand so much
Do you know where we're headin'?; Lincoln County Road or Armageddon?
I'm T-boned and punctured; But I'm known to be calm
Now, when I was just a bawlin' child,; I saw what I wanted to be
Well, I don't have to be no doctor, babe,; To see that you're madly in love.
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.
With haunted hearts through the heat and cold
We never thought we could ever get old
People disagreeing on all just about everything, yeah,; Makes you stop and all wonder why.
What looks large from a distance,; Close up ain't never that big.
