I heard a call to sing in trust. Or talk in doubt (la la la). It stole your heart. How far to fall. I might go dark. It's hard to tell. Betray myself.
Your imperfections are gonna be the death of me. Yet you carry yourself so seamlessly. It's getting complicated to figure out a way. To make you hip to the secret.
Gimme just one thing of beauty. To last me for all of my years. Gimme just one thing of beauty. And wash away all of my tears. . I won't need to get no religion.
Listen old soldier wherever you are. The hills or the valleys come near or come far. They say youth is a treasure we waste when we're young. So come down from that place where your medals are hung.
They say my final masterpiece. Was this house upon the hill. High above the great and mighty river. . My hand could not hold the brushes. Yes, I guess I lost my will.

["infinitely picturesque"]. . Night fell upon the pilgrims. While sailing on the sea of grass. Through the infinite horizon. The wooden ship sails by the wind to the pass.

First hazy glow of dawn. Light is bleeding through the cloth. But it can't touch me through these locks. No they can't get me through these locks. A man standing outside himself.
La Brea why you gotta be so goddamn scary?. Is it 'cause there's little creatures' bones. Buried in your home?. . La Brea why you gotta be so goddamn worried?.
Operator give me information. Information give me long distance. Long distance give me Heaven. . 2 3 oh operator, information. Give me Jesus on the line.
Rosie got religion. Learned it on the farm. Got to New York City, lined a (censored out) in her arm. Got to New York City, Leroy led the way. Made her somethin' special doin' business on Broadway.
Darkness lights the lamps of old Brazil. Deep inside the jungle hearts are still. Tigers hide inside alley cats eyes. Waiting for you to walk by. . Underneath this starlight latitude.
On a little street in Singapore. With me beside a lotus covered door. A veil of moonlight on her lovely face. How pale the hands that held me in embrace.
