Don't know if I saw you, if I would kiss you or kill you; It probably wouldn't matter to you anyhow
I don't mind a reasonable amount of trouble
I can tell you fancy, I can tell you plain; You give something up for everything you gain
They tell me everything is gonna be all right; But I don't know what "all right" even means
In the home of the brave
Jefferson turnin’ over in his grave
People carry roses
Make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her
I still can remember the way that you smiled
Guess it's too late to say the things to you; That you needed to hear me say.
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
For the loser now; Will be later to win
Has the record been breaking,; Did the needle just skip
If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise, remind me to show you the, scars.
Now I wish I could write you a melody so plain; That could hold you dear lady from going insane
I'll see you later when I'm not so out of my head,; Maybe next time I'll let the dead bury the dead.
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
You could ride like Annie Oakley,; You could shoot like Belle Starr.
I thought somehow that I would be spared this fate
Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love.
Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,; Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
We grew up together; From the cradle to the grave; We died and were reborn; And then mysteriously saved.
But does anyone hear the music they play
Does anyone even try?
Just like you I'm wondrin' what I'm doin' here.; Just like you I'm wondrin' what's goin' on.
Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
to live outside the law, you must be honest
They said it was the land of milk and honey,; now they say it's the land of money.; Who ever thought they could ever make that stick.
When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things that remain?
Yesterday everything was going too fast; Today, it's moving too slow
No knife could ever cut our love apart
They don't want me around; 'Cause I believe in you.
Well, I asked for something to eat; I'm hungry as a hog; So I get brown rice, seaweed; And a dirty hot dog
Yes, I know now, traps are only set by me; And I do not really need to be; Assured that love is just a four-letter word
Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed; Dignity never been photographed
Nobody feels any pain
If I had wings and I could fly,; I know where I would go.
I'm in love with the Ugliest Girl in the World
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting; That's hanging in the Louvre
They say you're usin' voodoo, I seen your feet walk by themselves
Don’t think twice, it’s all right
Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy
This time tomorrow I'll know you better; When my memory is not so short.
Sooner or later, one of us must know; That I really did try to get close to you
I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.
I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring.
Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain
Gonna sleep down in the parlor; And relive my dreams
How long can I stay in this nowhere café
What good am I if I say foolish things; And I laugh in the face of what sorrow brings; And I just turn my back while you silently die,; What good am I?
She's got everything she needs,; She's an artist, she don't look back
There are those who worship loneliness, I'm not one of them
I can't provide for you no easy answers,; Who are you that I should have to lie?
The treasure can't be found by men who search
He said, Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?; I said, I got no money. He said, That ain't necessary.
Nations are angry, cursed are some,; People are expecting a false peace to come.
They got him on conspiracy, they were never sure who with.
Something there is about you that brings back a long forgotten truth
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past; I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues; You can tell by the way she smiles
