Crashing throug the twilight spell. Miracles are not for sale. Maybe I'm ahead of the fall. Drifting out of paradise. Taking exit 95. It's to close to call.
Runaway horses under my hood. Can't catch me when I fly. Blue sky over me, six feet under me. Touch me when you cry. I caught sight of you, I've got altitude.
I tried to stop the tide. I tried but I can't hide. I tried to resist you. I tried to follow through. I tried to let you go. I tried but I just want more.
Looking at my face in a photograph. I was only 17. Been a long time since we looked like that. But you're the same boy standing by me. So I'll close my eyes in thoughts of you.
Hey joe. Where you going with that gun in your hand. Hey joe. Where you going with that gun in your hand. . Going down to shoot my old lady. You know I caught her messing around with another man.
You know my life would be easy. If people would leave me alone. Stop steppin' on my fingers. That I've been workin' to the bone. Maybe then I could get back with you.
Bring me my whiskey. I'm checking out. Gonna be a long time, girl. I'm going south. Shot up the mountain. Robbed that train. No way out, little girl. To get away clean.
It's a new game, causing pain. You know I've got you on my brain. It's the kind of hell you'll never know. Girls like you just turn me cold. But I guess you found my weaker side.
I hear the train a comin'. It's rollin 'round the bend. And I ain't seen the sunshine since. I don't know when. I'm stuck in folsom prison. And time keeps draggin' on.
Suicidal cement screams. I seen 'em all inside my dreams. I see them coming through my head. Make me wish I was dead. Ghosts chase silent foes. I never knew I'd get aboard.
The red sky's moaning and the wind is blowing hard. Better take warning 'cause this time it's gone too far. We been smokin' it more but enjoyin'it less.
I am so bad because of you. There ain't nothing that I won't do. I'll buy you clothes and ruby rings. But it takes money to get those things. . So I lie and I cheat.
My brain's been hammered and my nerves are shot. I caught the fever and the shakes won't stop. Even the doctors don't know what I got. I'm going-----.
I don't want the hour to fade. I don't want to make the break. I don't want a conversation. With the echos of a dying nation. I just want to spread your wings beneath my sky.
You were willing, you were much too wise. You were willing, now it's gone inside. Don't look back. You were simple in your little games. You're so simple now it's all the same.
Stranded in the storm trying to see through the rain. Looks like my life's coming 'round again. I wouldn't stop it now even if I thought I could. I was one of the remnants from a burned out scene.
Running away, I knew I was wrong. I's tried to fit in where I didn't belong. Wearing their clothes, playing their games. Being a part of that urban decay.
Rivers of sorrow, diamonds in the rough. Everything you wanted and it still ain't enough. Load it in the chamber, fire point black. If it don't make change, it don't make rank.
Inner city rumble. Guitar-soundin' trash. May not be in rolling stone. But we know where it's at. Long-haired kids in torn jeans. Call this out of control.
Black man comin' down the avenue. Arm shot full of holes, don't know what to do. Goes to the doctor, says doctor please. Just give me something to make the pains cease.
