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.
Junk is piling up, taking up space
Don't the moon look good, mama, Shinin' through the trees?
An' here I sit so patiently; Waiting to find out what price; You have to pay to get out of; Going through all these things twice.
I don't want to fake you out
I need a steam shovel mama to keep away the dead
I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch.
For I know that you know that I know that you know; Something is tearing up your mind.
How did I meet you? I don't know.
She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the Jack of Hearts
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
Does she know I still care?
I was in a whirlwind, now I'm in some better place.
You speak to me; In sign language; As I'm eating a sandwich
As his youth now unfolds; He is centuries old; Just to see him at play makes me smile; No matter what happens to me; No matter what my destiny; Lord, protect my child
All he believes are his eyes, And his eyes, they just tell him lies
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
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."
She says, "What'll it be?"; I say, "I don't know, you got any soft boiled eggs?"
Well, you're on your own, you always were,; In a land of wolves and thieves.
I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
And the words that are used; For to get the ship confused; Will not be understood as they're spoken.
I just can't fit; Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
to live outside the law, you must be honest
He said, Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?; I said, I got no money. He said, That ain't necessary.
Tough Mama; Can I blow a little smoke on you?
Every brain is civilized,; Every nerve is analyzed,; Everything is criticized when you are in need.
He looks so truthful, is this how he feels; Trying to peel the moon and expose it
When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things that remain?
Heart of mine be still,; You can play with fire, But you'll get the bill
If I ever lose her I will go insane; I go half crazy when she calls my name
I'll remember you; When the wind blows through the piney wood.
Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory
A million faces at my feet; But all I see are dark eyes
Yes, I see you on your window ledge; But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge
he not busy being born, Is busy dying
People carry roses
Make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her
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?
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
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection
Give ya delusions of grandeur; And a evil eye; Give you idea that; You're too good to die
The man in me will hide sometimes to keep from bein' seen,; But that's just because he doesn't want to turn into some machine.
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.
The party's over, and there's less and less to say
Oh it's rush hour now; On the wheel and the plow; And the sun is going down; Upon the sacred cow.
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
'Cause he doesn't tell you jokes or fairy tales, say he's got no style.
The sky is erupting, I must go where it's quiet.
The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder
If you're a doctor, I need a shot of love.
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,; All the pigeons gonna run to him.
All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
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.
I'm going back to New York City; I do believe I've had enough
Shall I hold you close?; Or Shall I let you go by?; Tell me.; Tell me.
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.
