I'd build a ladder to the moon. There I'd carve your name. If it would brighten up this room. But you know that anyway. I can't be the rock. Not today.
Looking back at me I see. That I never really got it right. I never stopped to think of you. I'm always wrapped up in. Things I cannnot win. You are the antidote that gets me by.
You are walking, you've always been walking. Stumbling half blinded and dry as the wind. That strafes you and leaves you to lie in the sand. And the wall stretches endless beside you to nowhere.
You hang there on the wall. You've carved out your place. But I can tell you shake from inside. . I see it all the time. The feel is always there. Just frozen in your mind from inside.
You, who are on the road. Must have a code that you can live by. And so become yourself. Because the past is just a goodbye. . Teach your children well.
Can you feel it crush you?. Does it seem to bring the worst in you out?. There's no running away from. These things that hold you down. . Do they complicate you.
Practicing the silence. Muting all the sounds you hear. Someone's getting violent. Cutting off all the ends you steal. . Signs of forward progress. Still wrapped tight inside and sealed.
Them boys from Oklahoma roll their joints all wrong. They're too damn skinny or way too long. I ain't no holy roller so I just use a bong. Them boys from Oklahoma roll their joints all wrong.
Well I miss you baby. I gotta get back home to you. Well I miss you baby. I gotta get back home to you. Ive seen a million women. Only one of them will do.
How come you never rest your tongue?. How can you ever expect to learn?. I know you want to chase it. But dont want to break your stride. I know you want to taste it.
Looking back at me I see that I never really got it right. I never stopped to think of you. I'm always wrapped up in things I cannot win. You are the antidote that gets me by.
This is me, can you take another look?. Did I see you looking blindly at your book?. Is it all that you thought, that you thought it took?. Can it be taken, taken at all?.
Silence, the silence within me, is deep within, is deep within, silence, the silence within me, you've got to wake up. Silence, the silence within me, is deep within, is deep within, silence, the silence within me, you've got to wake up.
I dream a day that god will surface. To retrieve his nails and open your heart.. You'll say you're mine for the ages. Just open your heart and say. . "I swear on the cross".
She was a queen. Lost within a dream. Misconceived that he was fit to reign. Lies take victims. Separate them at the seams. Cause them to fall apart. Then move along to better things now.
Take the money and run. Like a thief across a neighbors yard. Take the money and run. Like a ghost out in the night. Take the money and run. 'Cause you found out that it wasn't hard.
Check me out in my easy chair. Bottle in my hand. How it ever got to go far I guess I'll never understand. Cause I bend and bend until I break. Then I bend some more.
Who am I to save you. To try and tame you and now that you are free of me. But next time when you break down. Is it me you'll take down, with you on your knees.
Smokin' cigarettes got a hold of me. Long about the summer of 1993. Rushin' in just like a fool. Used to be my golden rule. Long before I graduated school.
When the sun goes down. I go out from the pages.. I pop the balloon you sailed across. and tip from the bottom of trees.. From the inside of the way. I start the illusion that escapes..
