I don't need any reminder; To know how much I really care
Love is so simple, to quote a phrase,; You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days.
Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy
Everybody's wearing a disguise; To hide what they've got left behind their eyes
Just like you I'm wondrin' what I'm doin' here.; Just like you I'm wondrin' what's goin' on.
You say my kisses are not like his,; But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is.
What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood
It's mighty funny; the end of time has just begun
Now, a very great man once said; That some people rob you with a fountain pen.; It didn't take too long to find out; Just what he was talkin' about.
This is the key to the kingdom and this is the town; This is the blind horse that leads you around
The treasure can't be found by men who search
What makes the wind wanna blow tonight?
Try to be pure at heart, they arrest you for robbery,; Mistake your shyness for aloofness, your shyness for snobbery
Have you got some unfinished business?; Is there something holding you back?; Are you thinking for yourself; Or are you following the pack?
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
We sat in an empty theater and we kissed,; I asked ya please to cross me off-a your list.
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke
We're idiots, babe.; It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves.
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
Our conversation was short and sweet; It nearly swept me off-a my feet.
Now, I can't go back to what was, baby,; I can't unring the bell.
I don't know why I love her but I just can't stop
I got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles,; I think maybe we'd better leave each other alone.
I'd never say; That I done it the way; That you'd have liked me to.
Because something is happening here; But you don't know what it is; Do you, Mister Jones?
May you always know the truth; And see the lights surrounding you.
I feel nothing for their game where beauty goes unrecognized
It's many a guard; That stands around smilin',; Holdin' his club; Like he was a king.
We're going all the way 'til the wheels fall off and burn
You'd better do somethin' quick; She's your lover now.
Your cracked country lips,; I still wish to kiss,; As to be under the strength of your skin.
Well, I spied a girl and before she could leave,; "Let's go and play Adam and Eve."; I took her by the hand and my heart it was thumpin'; When she said, "Hey man, you crazy or sumpin',; You see what happened last time they started."
Ain't no reason to go anywhere.
people don’t live or die, people just float
I'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to me
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go; To the valley below
He got an all girl orchestra and when he says; "Strike up the band," they hit it
All my friends have told me; If I hang around with you; That I'll go blind
it is not he or she or them or it; That you belong to.
What drives me to you is what drives me insane.
Well it's way past midnight and there are people all around; Some on their way up, some on their way down
All he believes are his eyes, And his eyes, they just tell him lies
I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
Gonna take dancing lessons do the jitterbug rag; Ain't no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag; Only a fool in here would think he's got anything to prove
And, when I was through; I filled up my shoe; And brought it to you.
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,; Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,; With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,; Let me forget about today until tomorrow.
If dogs run free, why not me; Across the swamp of time?
Silver and gold; Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
As the last fire truck from hell; Goes rolling by, all good people are praying
But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency,; All non-believers and men stealers talkin' in the name of religion
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?
How does it feel
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
I'm T-boned and punctured; But I'm known to be calm
