In the name of love she came. This foolish winsome girl. She was all decked out like a rainbow trout. Swimmin' up stream in the world. . And she said, "Please, please, I've lost my way.
You think you had the last laugh. Now you know this can't be true. Even though the sun shines down upon you now. Sometimes you must feel blue. You make the best of each new day.
Clouds are covering the sky. This will be my last goodbye. Broken man, broken lands. Time has come to make amends. . In this life, now filled with darkness.
I'm the harmony distorted. The jigsaw piece that doesn't fit. The uninvited one who's staying. It's all too sweet, it makes me sick. . Why rehearse the same old play.
The final chapter's finished. The curtain is about to fall. Ending mediocre life. Nothing to be proud of at all. Thinking back now. Despising yourself.
Today a daughter will hug her father and ask whens Jesus coming back. He wonders should he even bother with the words. Cause all he got her in the world was just a box filled with regret.
All along the west. we made cities where kids fear regret. and they will do whatever to keep from dying. but I don't know where they get the idea. that we are all not the same and anything less is dying.
Another victim of the rise and fall. Standing naked in the pastures where we graze. Sterile in a darkened pall. Picking pockets of the strangers all the way.
Like the light from a dying ember. A familiar melody. Another gift returned to sender. Such a bittersweet memory. I thought I'd finally broken even. But I was never in the game.
Everything that isn't from my time and place. Just fades away. And I know it's only my perception. That clouds the things I want to hear you say. All the years of desperation.
reason is gone. this brain is out of practice. thinking is alien. it's alien to me. . the day is through the lights are off and i'm alone again. electrons comfort me the television is my only friend.
Dust and wind and heat. Since fourteen days in the murdering. Sun of the Sierra Nevada. No rain, no water, no food. We are prisoners in the melting pot of hell.
So still, i feel safe in here with you,. do you feel safe in here with me?. this Oldsmobile carries my dreams,. (i cant believe) I'm talking to a picture,.
Escucha mi gente. El reggae esta llegando. . Reggae is coming to the nation. . Reggae is coming to the nation. . Reggae is coming to the nation. . Reggae is coming to the nation.
Bust up. No trust. Getting along. Best get clean, get on. . She's gone, I'm gone. Ruff stuff. Something's wrong. Best get clean, get on. . I'm spending all her money.
Rosemary's the kind of girl. Don't need no reason. She's the kind. That just won't settle down. . Clothes are out of season. She'll be done for treason.
Rosalita's crawlin' round the knees. Rest my head, she's callin' to me. In my dreams, she's there for me. But open my eyes to see you there. I am fallin'.
Gonna take that medicine, cold cold medicine. To make me what I am. Gonna go down steady, gonna get my measure. I got credit with the medicine man. . She'll make fire.
You can write your tunes with rhythm and blues as your alibi. You can sell your soul and lay the blame all on the passers-by. You shake your body on the TV screen.
