What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this?
I wouldn't be ashamed to be seen with you anywhere.
She knows there's no success like failure;
And that failure's no success at all.
Guess it's too late to say the things to you;
That you needed to hear me say.
How long can I stay in this nowhere café
I've been hit too hard, I've seen too much;
Nothing can heal me now, but your touch
We're idiots, babe.;
It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves.
Oh, some of us'll end up;
In St. Cloud Prison,;
And some of us'll wind up, To be lawyers and things
You cast your spell and I went under,;
I find it so difficult to leave.
Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,;
Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
The country music station plays soft;
but there's nothing, really nothing, to turn off
It's mighty funny;
the end of time has just begun
I don't mind a reasonable amount of trouble
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke
My head tells me it's time to make a change;
But my heart is telling me I love ya but you're strange.
I'm going back to New York City;
I do believe I've had enough
Oh, baby, that god you been prayin' to;
Is gonna give ya back what you're wishin' on someone else
I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch.
For I know that you know that I know that you know;
Something is tearing up your mind.
I can't help it if I'm lucky.
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting;
That's hanging in the Louvre
With haunted hearts through the heat and cold
We never thought we could ever get old
Time is all I have to give
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
Now, I can't go back to what was, baby,;
I can't unring the bell.
Well, there's voices in the night trying to be heard;
I'm sitting here listening to every mind polluting word
I'm hungry and I'm irritable;
And I'm tired of this bag of tricks.;
At one time there was nothing wrong with me;
That you could not fix.
I stood unwound beneath the skies;
And clouds unbound by laws.
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me,;
See like me or be like me.
I'm T-boned and punctured;
But I'm known to be calm
So long, New York.;
Howdy, East Orange.
They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table.
No knife could ever cut our love apart
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed,;
Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features.
They like to take all this money from sin, build big universities to study in;
Sing Amazing Grace all the way to the Swiss banks
Silver and gold;
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
In the home of the brave, Jefferson turnin' over in his grave
Ain't no reason to go anywhere.
This time tomorrow I'll know you better;
When my memory is not so short.
You should be made;
To wear earphones
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.
I must be guilty of something,;
You just whisper it into my ear.
Most of the time;
I can't even be sure;
If she was ever with me;
Or if I was with her.
Put your hand on my head, baby, do I have a temperature?
The door has closed forevermore
If indeed there ever was a door
Gon' walk on down that dirt road 'til I'm right beside the sun
He said his name was Columbus;
I just said, "Good luck."
Don't the moon look good, mama, Shinin' through the trees?
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
Handy dandy, he got a basket of flowers and a bag full or sorrow
But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency,;
All non-believers and men stealers talkin' in the name of religion
Son, this ain't a dream no more, it's the real thing.
It's for myself and my friends my stories are sung.
I'm goin' down to Tennessee,;
Get me a truck 'r somethin'.;
Gonna save my money and rip it up!
Lot of water under the bridge, Lot of other stuff too;
Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through
Well, You've done it all and there's no more anyone can pretend to do.;
What can I do for You?
Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder
