Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love.
How does it feel
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me,; See like me or be like me.
The world of illusion is at my door
The party's over, and there's less and less to say
You got a lotta nerve; To say you are my friend
I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.
Wealth is a filthy rag; So erotic so unpatriotic; So wrapped up in the American flag
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.
People are crazy and times are strange
While my conscience explodes; The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed
Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory
All I feel is heat and flame and all I see are dark eyes.
Thought I'd shaken the wonder and the phantoms of my youth
You have explained every mystery.; What can I do for You?
Don't have to look no further, you're the soul of many things.
I'm walking through streets that are dead
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
You speak to me; In sign language; As I'm eating a sandwich
If there's a poor boy on the street,; Then let him have my seat; 'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
The door has closed forevermore
If indeed there ever was a door
he not busy being born, Is busy dying
She was born in spring, but I was born too late
All he believes are his eyes, And his eyes, they just tell him lies
Last night I danced with a stranger; But she just reminded me you were the one
All my friends have told me; If I hang around with you; That I'll go blind
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take; To find dignity
The country music station plays soft; but there's nothing, really nothing, to turn off
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed,; Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features.
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,; Should I leave them by your gate,; Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
Pardon, monsieur," the desk clerk says,; Carefully removes his fez,; "Am I hearin' you right?"
It's so impossible to even learn the tune.
What kind of sign they need when it all come from within
I been hangin’ on threads
I been playin’ it straight
Now, I’ve just got to cut loose
Before it gets late
If dogs run free, why not me; Across the swamp of time?
If I had wings and I could fly,; I know where I would go.
Oh ev'ry foe that ever I faced
The cause was there before we came.
Don’t think twice, it’s all right
If you're lookin' to get silly; You better go back to from where you came
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.
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
Oh, ev'ry thought that's strung a knot in my mind,; I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung.
Put your ear to the train tracks, put your ear to the ground,; You ever feel like you're never alone even when there's nobody else around?; Since the beginning of the universe man's been cursed by trouble.
Are you looking at me and thinking of somebody else?
And every one of them words rang true; And glowed like burnin' coal; Pourin' off of every page; Like it was written in my soul from me to you
How did I meet you? I don't know.
Those are the hill of heaven, my love; You and I'll never know
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,; That we could sit simply in that room again.
Do you know where we're headin'?; Lincoln County Road or Armageddon?
There's always some new stranger sneakin' glances,; Some trigger-happy fool willin' to take chances
We're going all the way 'til the wheels fall off and burn
When He rose from the dead, did they believe?
Don't know if I saw you, if I would kiss you or kill you; It probably wouldn't matter to you anyhow
She once was a true love of mine
I can change, I swear, oh, oh,; See what you can do.; I can make it through,; You can make it too.
