Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast;
Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last.
While my conscience explodes; The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
It was gravity which pulled us down and destiny which broke us apart
Can't you make any sound?
You're gonna have to serve somebody.
Are you still my friend, baby, show me a sign
When he died I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past; I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
Has the record been breaking,; Did the needle just skip
We're both just one too many mornings; An' a thousand miles behind.
Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift
There's always some new stranger sneakin' glances,; Some trigger-happy fool willin' to take chances
I see people who are supposed to know better standin' around like furniture.
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?
I'm going back to New York City; I do believe I've had enough
All he believes are his eyes, And his eyes, they just tell him lies
I'll give you more gold; Than your apron can hold; If you'll only let your hair hang low
The man in me will hide sometimes to keep from bein' seen,; But that's just because he doesn't want to turn into some machine.
the cops don't need you; and man they expect the same
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
In the home of the brave, Jefferson turnin' over in his grave
Every brain is civilized,; Every nerve is analyzed,; Everything is criticized when you are in need.
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
At the corrida we'll sit in the shade; And watch the young torero stand alone.; We'll drink tequila where our grandfathers stayed; When they rode with Villa into Torreon.
I'll remember you; When the wind blows through the piney wood.
If dogs run free, why not me; Across the swamp of time?
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours
Through the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales
You should be made; To wear earphones
We heard the Sermon on the Mount and I knew it was too complex,; It didn't amount to anything more than what the broken glass reflects.
And then you told me later, as I apologized; That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
Everybody's wearing a disguise; To hide what they've got left behind their eyes
The country music station plays soft; but there's nothing, really nothing, to turn off
How does it feel
Senor, senor, let's disconnect these cables,; Overturn these tables.; This place don't make sense to me no more.
They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table.
And every time you get this close; It makes me want to scream
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
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?
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',; But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
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
We're idiots, babe.; It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves.
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
If the bible is right, the world will explode
You're the one I adore, come over here and give me more
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss.
When destruction cometh swiftly; And there's no time to say a fare-thee-well,; Have you decided whether you want to be; In heaven or in hell?
I'm in love with the Ugliest Girl in the World
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
All I really want to do,; Is, baby, be friends with you.
Someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody
He said, Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?; I said, I got no money. He said, That ain't necessary.
If there's a poor boy on the street,; Then let him have my seat; 'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
All the people we used to know; Are an illusion to me now
Maybe they'll get me and maybe they won't; But not tonight and it won't be here; There are things I could say but I don't; I know the mercy of God must be near
'Twas then that I knew what he had on his mind.
I am hanging in the balance, of the reality of man; like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand
She's got everything she needs,; She's an artist, she don't look back
Go 'way from my window,; Leave at your own chosen speed.
