Build a fire, throw on logs; And listen to it hiss; And let it burn, burn, burn, burn; On a night like this.
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
she's true, like ice, like fire
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours
Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer; It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.
Time passes slowly when you're lost in a dream.
You say you love me; And you're thinkin' of me,; But you know you could be wrong.
Turn your back, wash your hands,; There's always someone who understands
I'll remember you; At the end of the trail,; I had so much left to do,; I had so little time to fail.
When he died I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious
When I met you, baby,; You didn't show no visible scars.
Do you know where we're headin'?; Lincoln County Road or Armageddon?
But is your heart made out of stone, or is it lime; Or is it just solid rock?
Praise be to Nero's Neptune; The Titanic sails at dawn; And everybody's shouting; Which Side Are You On?
One of these days and it won't be long; Going down in the valley and sing my song; I will sing it loud and sing it strong; Let the echo decide if I was right or wrong
Your magnetic movements; Still capture the minutes I'm in.
Some things are too hot to touch; The human mind can only stand so much
Does she know I still care?
All the tired horses in the sun; How'm I supposed to get any ridin' done? Hmm.
Either I'm too sensitive or else I'm gettin' soft.
She knows where I'd like to be; But it doesn't matter.
People disagreeing everywhere you look,; Makes you wanna stop and read a book.
And I can't let go, won't let go, and I can't let go no more.
When destruction cometh swiftly; And there's no time to say a fare-thee-well,; Have you decided whether you want to be; In heaven or in hell?
People on the platforms; Waiting for the trains; I can hear their hearts a-beatin'; Like pendulums swinging on chains
Put your body next to mine; And keep me company,; There is plenty a room for all,; So please don't elbow me.
And the words that are used; For to get the ship confused; Will not be understood as they're spoken.
Don't trust me to show you beauty; When beauty may only turn to rust.
When I'm all alone; In the great unknown,; I'll remember you.
Run your fingers down my spine; Bring me a touch of bliss
Try to be pure at heart, they arrest you for robbery,; Mistake your shyness for aloofness, your shyness for snobbery
Well, they're not showing any lights tonight; And there's no moon.
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
Mama, take this badge off of me
Down the highway, down the tracks, down the road to ecstasy,; I followed you beneath the stars, hounded by your memory,; And all your ragin' glory.
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
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke
You don't want a love that's pure; You wanna drown love; You want a watered-down love
When you think that you lost everything; You find out you can always lose a little more
Soon as a man is born, you know the sparks begin to fly, He gets wise in his own eyes and he's made to believe a lie.
She got a weird sense of humor that's all her own
Get the loot, don't be slow, we're gonna catch a trout
And you, you took me in,; You loved me then; You didn't waste time.
Darkness at the break of noon
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore; You may not see me tomorrow.
I know all about poison, I know all about fiery darts,; I don't care how rough the road is, show me where it starts,; Whatever pleases You, tell it to my heart.
We're going all the way 'til the wheels fall off and burn
They say you're usin' voodoo, I seen your feet walk by themselves
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still
time is running backwards
But I mean no harm nor put fault, On anyone that lives in a vault, But it's alright, Ma, if I can't please him.
Someone else is speakin' with my mouth, but I'm listening only to my heart.
And, when I was through; I filled up my shoe; And brought it to you.
Most of the time; I can't even be sure; If she was ever with me; Or if I was with her.
Go melt back into the night, babe,; Everything inside is made of stone.; There's nothing in here moving, An' anyway I'm not alone.
I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.
Oh, man has invented his doom, First step was touching the moon.
