On her knees she?s divine
Another angel you trimmed but she don't seem to mind
The life in her eyes, it let you down
And she fell to the floor without making a sound
And look to the bed where she lay
And raise a glass to your ardor today
'Cause beauty and love you?ve never known
So you laid her down at the Chateau Marmont
Oh, Angelyne, oh, Angelyne
Well, now, you?ll never know all the trouble ...
Sing me a lullaby
Won?t you wipe away my pain
Take me out, oh, of the driving rain
Sing me a lullaby
Keep me warm and dry
Oh mother, I?m counting on you
To paint me a blue sky
May the colors run true
That I may look to the Heavens
When I search for the truth
Paint me a blue sky
Keep me warm and dry
Oh mother, I?m counting on you
To paint me a blue sky
Oh, paint me a blue sky
Oh, paint me a blu...
Brother to brother, soldier to a sage
Quietly pressing along the way
Fields of lonely, mighty clouds of joy
Well, they change from day to day
So if you wake up to the sunrise
Then let it take you to a better state of mind
Ask of the night, what has it brought
Has it brought your way? Hey, hey, yeah, yeah
Carry on, my brother
Don't let it bring you down
Carry on, my brother
It's gonna be alrigh...
She sits by his side
On vinyl seats
Her thighs are stickin'
It's hot, it could be July
This Texas heat
Will start you thinkin'
By and by
I'm gettin' closer to it
So drive down 35
To Mexico
Get there by mornin'
And leave this town behind
Their little minds
Will teach us nothin'
By and by
I'm gettin' closer to this
Well, by and by
I'm gettin' closer to this
And extraordinary visions in your head...
Driftin' behind the sun, floatin'
Watch the satellites pass slowly
Why do they keep on spinning, flying?
Why don't they ever come down?
Flyin' close to the sun, lonely
I watch the hours go by slowly, yeah
Why do they keep on passin', turnin'?
Fillin' the space in between
'Cause in between
Is the time that it takes
Till it's comin' around
So daylight undo the night
Stunned and sleepin'
She tric...
Lady she don?t like no other women being around
Shoots her daggers from her eyes
Lady ain?t too kind to other women being around
Shoot ?em down and keeps 'em down to size
What they ever do to make the lady be so cruel
Did her best friend steal her love and let her down?
What they ever do to make the lady be so cruel
Must have been some lover let her down
Some lover going to always let her down...
Wind, pick up this dandelion flower
Blow it far away from here, where the world has never seen
The beauty that it knows, it lies softly where it goes
A meadow on the breeze
Sun, turn this grass from green to brown
The August sun, so cruel sets fire to the rules
And not falling, what you waiting for?
It's time for you to rise
Close my eyes and keep me safe from all I know
Till the life is dried...
Wind is blowin?
And it?s blowin? in my mind
Spirits they've been tellin? me
That it?s all come down to time
Stayin? in this world now
Well, it ain?t no plan of mine
?Cause she?s raped and left here dyin?
And they?ve called me for the crime
Is that the cry of an angel
Or the cry of a woman, such a lonely sound
Lost my suit to a trump card
I lost my soul to the trouble, keep pullin? me down
Step...
I was so high I didn't see you there
You had it easy, I was weak and you were everything
And all those voices running wild through my head
They keep on tellin' me to pass right on across the edge
So don't try to save me from myself
I'm falling away to somewhere else
I won't come down today
If you would cut me from my ties then I'll float away
So leave me like you find me with, I'll go alone
No...
Riding through Harlem
In my bulletproof car
Inside a glass shell you say
Keeps us from harm
My music's playing loudly
And people gather ?round
They wonder what we're doing
In their part of town
I try to reach out, reach out
And touch my brother's hand
Walls are too thick, Lord
It just makes him mad
Everybody's yelling
There must be something wrong
If we just listen closer
We might just get alo...
Lights all around
I'm going down town
Congress Avenue Bridge
Is taking me home
It's 2 a.m.
My girlfriend's sleeping again
This melody
Is taking me home
Open up your wicker basket
Shoulder satchel
Name your tasks and find a spot
Take the ones you need
Mold ?em gently, find familiar
Know the meaning
You can understand which way
The fates will go
The glitter and the gaudy show
You'll never have t...
So you were twisted, you were lied to
You're the object of his games
But you never noticed any problems
'Cause you kinda liked that pain
But it was my love, kept you going
Kept you strong enough to fall
And it was my heart you were breaking
When he hurt your pride
How does it feel?
How does it feel now?
How does it feel?
How does it feel? Yeah, oh
When he hurt you, you were kindest
And you let...
Callin' me up from a deep sleep dreamin'
Black cat keeps scratchin' at my back door
Cold chills are runnin' cross my shoulder
I've felt that ghost round here before
Somebody sittin' in my kitchen
Nobody else at home but me
I hear a voice keeps callin' my name
Lord, Lord will they ever let me be
Paid my dues for the road I've taken
Done my time for the things I've left behind
Contradictions clo...
I'll be waiting for you at Leary's Gate
Elevate your mind, your pain I'll take
I'll fill your head with medicine, I'll make you smile
And all your worries disappear just for a while, just for a
I'll be waiting for you at Leary's Gate
Elevate your weary mind, your pain I'll take
Fill your head with medicine, I'll make you smile
And all your worries disappear just for a while, just for a while
I...
Mornin' feels like a drag when you're all messed up
Ain't got nobody to pick you up
And your phone gonna ring like it used to do
All those you thought, your friends
Well, they turned on you, oh
Like a stone, you flown your life
To turns of fancy and of flight
It's a lie, it's a lie
So you believe what they say
With all their gilded praise
You string up your accolades
They string up your veins
...
Well, the morning is fading to the day
And I lie here and watch as you fade away
And the stillness holds me down like a thief
And it robs me of my peace
But it's all for the love of Magdalena
And she is a river for my eyes
I grasp at her beauty, she floats right on by
Any man should know such sorrow
Yeah, my tears, they know no pain, ooh
It's all for the love of Magdalena
And her scent that sh...
This three piece suit is wearing me thin
I got an office but its much to small to let you in
I know the difference 'cause I am different from them
And it's Monday afternoon
Last Friday night I nearly touched the sky
My mind was lucid and my words were coming right on time
I had control of the bar for the night
And it's Monday afternoon, and it's Monday afternoon
Barstool Venus, she?s wrapped u...
In the morning
Lay You down in tender grace
In the morning
The sunlight plays upon Your face
And all I want is You
Like a baby
I find salvation in Your eyes
You have saved me
From darkest and the blackest nights
And all I know is You
All I know is You
In the morning
Making love slowly fades
In the morning
A body's bled and wanna say
And all I am is You
All I am is You
All I am is You
All I am ...
Jesus lived in a ramshackle shack
With a fat New Orleans junkie
Charismatic solo lonesome some say
He was born plain lucky
Cruise the streets of Juarez
In his low-cut El Dorado
Divine command and oil slick hands
With brash and bold bravado
Mother Mary said, "Your time has come
For the river's wide but can be fought and won"
For the very love of God and Man
Jesus crossed the Rio Grande
Look at ...
Pretty mamma break me from these chains
You told me that I was your only man
Wrapped me up in all these guises of grace
Now I've seen it face to face
Revelation
Revelation
Revelation
Revelation
I've got a line on you
Silent charade you're a master of thought
Indiscretion mounting as you gather your loss
Undercover darkness was your veil
Words were stolen, love for sale
Revelation
Revelation
Re...
Well, the distance makes you pretty
And now you're cracked and gray
And your legs they move like scissors
Open up the wound each time you give yourself away
And I'm sorry for the damage
Let me lay down by your side
And let me come down almost human, yeah
For awhile, for awhile, just for awhile
Just for awhile
So dance for me, Virginia
Let the leather kiss your pale white skin
I'd, I'd say I lo...
If I fell at your feet
Would you ever notice me?
Ohh, baby, would you just
Pass me by
If I were hurting in the deep of the night
Would you call
And make everything right
Ohh, baby, would I have to ask you why
Let me in mama
And we'll take it real slow
I'll show you things
If you just let it go
Give you my money
Give you my time
Give you anything to make you mine
And all I want is to keep you s...
I've been really trying
To get some peace of mind
But the world just keeps on spinning
And I am starting to unwind
Teachers teaching children
To go out and get their own
But they forget about the heart
They forget about their souls
And it's hard to convince yourself
When your life's been gauged by power and wealth
Spend your whole life trying to break free
From this society
So I climb up to a ...
I'm lookin' through a compromised solution
Humble till I'm livin' like a slave
Make a stand if there was somethin' I believe in
But I can't relate, I can't relate
Stain my life, let me go on livin'
Stain my eyes, let me see my way
Stain my heart, let me be forgiven
Free my mind
Searchin' for a soulful interaction
Somethin' I can hold as my own
But every time that I find somethin' I hold sacred...
Bloody hand know your way
Lay him down, his death will pass
Lay him down under your blade
Shined and sharp his crimson stain
Diamond shards pulse to steel
This final breath and glassy pleas
Rest your mind and wash your hands
Lay him down in this time of dying
A dirty heats, falling dusk
And guilty breeze, they know their way
In through the door you hear them whine
Close your eyes, it soon will...
Lay me in flowers, sweet magnolia
New Orleans style
Play, me a funeral procession
Second line rhythm, walk me that mile
Find a tomb for my hiding
Oh, let me just rest in there, rest for a while
Make a grand presentation
Oh, all of my family yeah, remember my time
The river is a running, Mississippi mud
My life is good, today
Fly, oh fly 'cause I got somewhere
I gotta be
Doctors and lawyers, wi...
Power, well you hit them harder
Hatred, conceal the martyr
Big time but you wanted bigger
You own damn flesh
And now they play the nigger
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'd like to take my time
And watch them nail
You to the tracks
Vengeance running through my veins
I'd like to crush all your wicked ways
My heart is true with my fellow man
I know these things that you will never understand
Yeah, yeah,...
The sun is sinking away from me
And it leaves me in a silent way
With it it takes all remains of the day
And I feel like you?ll be gone
Loneliness fell from the moon tonight
Beneath a vacant blanket of sky
And shined its lonely beams as if crying
And I feel like you?ll be gone
And I feel like you?ll be gone
The sky is a thief with no sympathy
And it rips the life from my eyes
The air is still,...
