The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed
What makes the wind wanna blow tonight?
Well, the road is rocky and the hillside's mud;
Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood
But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency,;
All non-believers and men stealers talkin' in the name of religion
Temptation's not an easy thing
Any day now, any day now,;
I shall be released.
I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
Every day of the year's like playin' Russian roulette
She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe;
"I thought you'd never say hello," she said;
"You look like the silent type."
People ask about you;
I didn't tell them everything I knew
I don't know why I love her but I just can't stop
Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties;
Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
'Cause he doesn't tell you jokes or fairy tales, say he's got no style.
Tell ev'rybody;
Down in ol' 'Frisco;
That Tiny Montgomery's comin';
Down to say Hello
Saw you drift into infinity and come back again
Let the wind blow low, let the wind blow high.;
One day the little boy and the little girl were both baked in a pie.
Do I need your permission to turn the other cheek?;
If you can read my mind, why must I speak?
I got a poison headache,;
But I feel all right
Now, don't crowd me, lady;
Or I'll fill up your shoe
He looks so truthful, is this how he feels;
Trying to peel the moon and expose it
Son, this ain't a dream no more, it's the real thing.
Without freedom of speech, I might be in the swamp.
Lookin' at my shadow watching the colors up above
While my conscience explodes;
The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
I don't need any reminder;
To know how much I really care
Well, I got a harmonica job, begun to play,;
Blowin' my lungs out for a dollar a day.
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 were trying to break into another world;
A world I never knew.;
I always kind of wondered;
If you ever made it through.
Put my tears in a bottle
Screw the top on tight
