Now the moon is almost hidden; The stars are beginning to hide; The fortunetelling lady; Has even taken all her things inside
I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch.
When the last rays of daylight go down; Buddy, you'll roll no more; I can hear the church bells ringing in the yard; I wonder who they're ringing for
Somebody's got to find your trail,; I guess it must be up to me.
Let the wind blow low, let the wind blow high.; One day the little boy and the little girl were both baked in a pie.
What happened to the real you, you've been captured but by whom?
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past; I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
I'm going back to New York City; I do believe I've had enough
She knows there's no success like failure; And that failure's no success at all.
It's the ways of the flesh to war against the spirit; Twenty-four hours a day you can feel it and you can hear it; Using all the devices under the sun.
Betrayed by a kiss on a cool night of bliss; In the valley of the missing link
I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
Now I wish I could write you a melody so plain; That could hold you dear lady from going insane
It's mighty funny; the end of time has just begun
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells; I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
Those are the hill of heaven, my love; You and I'll never know
We pointed out the way to go; And scratched your name in sand,; Though you just thought it was nothing more; Than a place for you to stand.
Not one more night, not one more kiss,; Not this time baby, no more of this,; Takes too much skill, takes too much will,; It's revealing.
I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail,; Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail,; Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn.
But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency,; All non-believers and men stealers talkin' in the name of religion
Everybody must get stoned.
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring.
There's always some new stranger sneakin' glances,; Some trigger-happy fool willin' to take chances
Have you got some unfinished business?; Is there something holding you back?; Are you thinking for yourself; Or are you following the pack?
There was music in the cafes at night; And revolution in the air.
I can't help it if I'm lucky.
Wallflower, wallflower; Take a chance on me.; Please let me ride you home.
I got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles,; I think maybe we'd better leave each other alone.
Don't have to look no further, you're the soul of many things.
You say my kisses are not like his,; But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is.
'Twas then that I knew what he had on his mind.
When I met you, baby,; You didn't show no visible scars.
People tell me it's a sin; To know and feel too much within.
I don't want to fake you out
You should be made; To wear earphones
Everybody's wearing a disguise; To hide what they've got left behind their eyes
You're so damn nonchalant; But it's your mind that I want.
Shall I hold you close?; Or Shall I let you go by?; Tell me.; Tell me.
if every bone in his body was broken he would never admit it
Sooner or later, one of us must know; That I really did try to get close to you
Well, you're on your own, you always were,; In a land of wolves and thieves.
I just can't fit; Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
I just want you to know; I can see through your masks
I'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to me
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss.
Put my tears in a bottle
Screw the top on tight
Something there is about you that brings back a long forgotten truth
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.; Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
Wealth is a filthy rag; So erotic so unpatriotic; So wrapped up in the American flag
Go 'way from my window,; Leave at your own chosen speed.
When you think that you lost everything; You find out you can always lose a little more
