Tough Mama;
Can I blow a little smoke on you?

I still can remember the way that you smiled

No knife could ever cut our love apart

Don't trust me to show you love;
When my love may be only lust.

Well, they're not showing any lights tonight;
And there's no moon.

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.

The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder

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.

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.

Drinkin' man listens to the voice he hears;
In a crowded room full of covered up mirrors;
Lookin' into the lost forgotten years;
For dignity

There's always some new stranger sneakin' glances,;
Some trigger-happy fool willin' to take chances

You can make me cry;
Never say goodbye

I see people who are supposed to know better standin' around like furniture.

All the laughter is just making me sad

Oh the fishes will laugh;
As they swim out of the path;
And the seagulls they'll be smiling.

If you get close to her, kiss her once for me

The pump don't work;
'Cause the vandals took the handles

Everybody is making love Or else expecting rain

time is running backwards

I must be guilty of something,;
You just whisper it into my ear.

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.

The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed

Your mind is your temple, keep it beautiful and free,;
Don't let an egg get laid in it by something you can't see.

Love is so simple, to quote a phrase,;
You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days.

Reality has always had too many heads

My so-called friends have fallen under a spell.;
They look me squarely in the eye and they say, "All is well.";
Can they imagine the darkness that will fall from on high;
When men will beg God to kill them and they won't be able to die?

I don't know why I love her but I just can't stop

I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.

I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies;
I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes

take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind

I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind;
You could have done better but I don't mind;
You just kinda wasted my precious time

The treasure can't be found by men who search

Nations are angry, cursed are some,;
People are expecting a false peace to come.

Oh, but if I had the stars from the darkest night,;
And the diamonds from the deepest ocean,;
I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss,;
For that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'.

All I feel is heat and flame and all I see are dark eyes.

We heard the Sermon on the Mount and I knew it was too complex,;
It didn't amount to anything more than what the broken glass reflects.

Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder

My conscience is beginning to bother me today.

I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch.

What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this?

Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore;
You may not see me tomorrow.

Can't you hear that motor turnin'?;
Automobile comin' into style

Oh, ev'ry thought that's strung a knot in my mind,;
I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung.

When He rose from the dead, did they believe?

You have explained every mystery.;
What can I do for You?

As the last fire truck from hell;
Goes rolling by, all good people are praying

I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,;
That we could sit simply in that room again.

The sky is erupting, I must go where it's quiet.

Look into infinity, all you see is trouble.

If he needs a third eye he just grows it

My head tells me it's time to make a change;
But my heart is telling me I love ya but you're strange.

It was gravity which pulled us down and destiny which broke us apart

Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,;
Blowing through the letters that we wrote.

Satan whispers to ya, "Well, I don't want to bore ya,;
But when ya get tired of the Miss So-and-so I got another woman for ya."

Put your body next to mine;
And keep me company,;
There is plenty a room for all,;
So please don't elbow me.

I got a poison headache,;
But I feel all right

Done so many evil things in the name of love, it's a crying shame;
I never did see no fire that could put out a flame.

I could say that I'd be faithful, I could say it in one sweet, easy breath;
But to you that would be cruelty and to me it surely would be death.
