The drinks are ready and the dogs are going to war
Well I don't dare close my eyes and I don't dare wink; Maybe in the next life I'll be able to hear myself think
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.
to live outside the law, you must be honest
In the hills of mystery,; In the foggy web of destiny,; You can have what's left of me,; Where we were born in time.
Praise be to Nero's Neptune; The Titanic sails at dawn; And everybody's shouting; Which Side Are You On?
Roses are red, violets are blue; And time is beginning to crawl
Thought I'd shaken the wonder and the phantoms of my youth
Well, the chances are against it and the odds are slim,; That he'll live by the rules that the world makes for him
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
Everybody must get stoned.
The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder
How can I explain?; Oh, it's so hard to get on
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.; Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
What good am I if I know and don't do,; I If I see and don't say, if I look right through you
Put your hand on my head, baby, do I have a temperature?
I've been hit too hard, I've seen too much; Nothing can heal me now, but your touch
I'm goin' down to Tennessee,; Get me a truck 'r somethin'.; Gonna save my money and rip it up!
if there's an original thought out there, I could use it right now
Well, I wake in the morning, Fold my hands and pray for rain.; I got a head full of ideas, That are drivin' me insane.
I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring.
I've already ripped out the phones, honey.; You can't walk the streets in a war
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
And every one of them words rang true; And glowed like burnin' coal; Pourin' off of every page; Like it was written in my soul from me to you
Wiggle 'til you're high, wiggle 'til you're higher,; Wiggle 'til you vomit fire
I'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to me
She knows where I'd like to be; But it doesn't matter.
The walls of pride are high and wide; Can't see over to the other side; It's such a sad thing to see beauty decay; It's sadder still, to feel your heart torn away
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'm going back to New York City; I do believe I've had enough
Don't know if I saw you, if I would kiss you or kill you; It probably wouldn't matter to you anyhow
Now you stand here expectin' me to remember somethin' you forgot to say
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting; That's hanging in the Louvre
The sun's not yellow it's chicken
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.
Get the loot, don't be slow, we're gonna catch a trout
Junk is piling up, taking up space
This time tomorrow I'll know you better; When my memory is not so short.
Whatever you wanted; Slipped out of my mind
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 just can't fit; Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
Every brain is civilized,; Every nerve is analyzed,; Everything is criticized when you are in need.
I got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles,; I think maybe we'd better leave each other alone.
Boys in the street beginning to play; Girls like birds flying away
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
You don't want a love that's pure; You wanna drown love; You want a watered-down love
There are those who worship loneliness, I'm not one of them
In order to deal in this game, got to make the queen disappear,; It's done with a flick of the wrist.
as long as the world keeps a-turnin', I just keep a-turnin' too.
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
It's all been designed, he said, "To make you lose your mind,; And when you go back to find it, there's nothing there to find."
Was that the thunder that I heard?; My head is vibrating, I feel a sharp pain
You got a lotta nerve; To say you are my friend
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
But does anyone hear the music they play
Does anyone even try?
