Silver and gold; Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
Without freedom of speech, I might be in the swamp.
Those are the hill of heaven, my love; You and I'll never know
Today on the countryside it was a-hotter than a crotch
Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder
If your mem'ry serves you well,; You'll remember you're the one; That called on me to call on them; To get you your favors done.
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
Ring them bells, for the time that flies,; For the child that cries; When innocence dies.
Maybe they'll get me and maybe they won't; But not tonight and it won't be here; There are things I could say but I don't; I know the mercy of God must be near
You think you can hide but you're never alone,; Ask Lot what he thought when his wife turned to stone.
Because something is happening here; But you don't know what it is; Do you, Mister Jones?
Could you ever be true?
That long black cloud is comin' down
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
I want to thank You, Lord,; I just want to thank You, Lord,; Thank You, Lord.
Do you ever wonder just what God requires?; You think He's just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires.
Seen the arrow on the doorpost; Saying, "This land is condemned; All the way from New Orleans; To Jerusalem."
Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line,; Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine.
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
I've paid the price of solitude, but at last I'm out of debt.
Well, you're on your own, you always were,; In a land of wolves and thieves.
Well, they're not showing any lights tonight; And there's no moon.
Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that it passes through
What drives me to you is what drives me insane.
Cities on fire, phones out of order
Shine your light, shine your light on me; Ya know I just couldn't make it by myself.; I'm a little too blind to see
It's so impossible to even learn the tune.
Well, you're so bad and nasty; But I love you, yes I do
We're idiots, babe.; It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves.
I'll give you more gold; Than your apron can hold; If you'll only let your hair hang low
your pleasure knows no limits
If I had wings and I could fly,; I know where I would go.
Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
People are crazy and times are strange
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.
I've been walking through the middle of nowhere; Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.
If this is love then gimme more; And more and more and more and more.
People tell me it's a sin; To know and feel too much within.
May you have a strong foundation; When the winds of changes shift
When He rose from the dead, did they believe?
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation; There are no words that need to be said
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
Heart of mine be still,; You can play with fire, But you'll get the bill
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.
They tell me revenge is sweet and from where they stand, I'm sure it is.
When they came for Him in the garden, did they know?
Just like you I'm wondrin' what I'm doin' here.; Just like you I'm wondrin' what's goin' on.
I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still
We grew up together; From the cradle to the grave; We died and were reborn; And then mysteriously saved.
In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection
Now at midnight all the agents; And the superhuman crew; Come out and round up everyone; That knows more than they do
The world of illusion is at my door
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
goodbye's too good a word, gal; so I'll just say fare thee well
Don't the moon look good, mama, Shinin' through the trees?
