Nobody wants to help when you start with a please To supplicate is not the way you've got to put the other man down on his knees But that's not why I arrived, no that was not the reason Don't mind if I retire from a town without one just like a season
I remember when I first had come to town And you suggested I kneel and kiss the ground You were such a prophet then to me And you, you're nothing to me

She can fill me up when it's down I'm goin' (I'm goin'). Put a little music in my day. Wouldn't be surprised if my love keeps growin' (it keeps growin'). Bigger every minute that she stays away. I would kiss the ground she walks on, 'Cause it's my word, my word she'll obey, now. Woo-ooh. (Ain't no woman like the one I've got.) Well, I kiss the ground she walks on. (To make her happy doesn't take a lot.) She's a real good friend right to the end. (So together like a hand in glove.) A lonely man when she's gone. (People, ain't no woman like the one I love.)

There's a problem, feathers iron Bargain buildings, weights and pulleys Feathers hit the ground before the weight can leave the air Buy the sky and sell the sky and tell the sky and tell the sky
Don't FALL on me (What is it up in the air for) (It's gonna fall) FALL on me (If it's there for long) (It's gonna fall) FALL on me (It's over it's over me) (It's gonna fall)

Try to stop the world spinning 'round My phone bill will tell you she lives out of town It's been a long long time but still I dream Of warm sunny days on 12th and Lorraine I wish you were here right now....but then I know I should just leave you alone I should just leave you alone I know I should just leave you alone I should just leave you along The ground moved under me I pushed her away with the things I'd say God's face grew Earthquake size And I can't cross our great divide I wanna live inside....but then I know I should just leave you alone I should just leave you alone

I read dead Russian authors Volumes at a time, I write everything down Except what's on my mind, Cause my greatest fear Is that sucking sound, And then I know I'll never get back out, And there's a bone in my hand that connects to a drink, In a crowded room where the glasses clink, And I'll buy you a beer and we'll drink it deep, Because that keeps me from falling asleep, How'd you like to be alone and drowning--

"Going back home that's what I'm gonna do. I'm turning around, that's what I'm gonna do. Going back home that's what I'm gonna do. Cause you've done better by me than I've done by you, I'm drowning in you."

"On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand. And ev'ry stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one-man band. Homeward bound, I wish I was, Homeward bound, Home where my thought's escaping, Home where my music's playing, Home where my love lies waiting Silently for me. "

The cowboy kills the rock star And Friday night's gone too far The dim light hides the years On all the faded girls Forgotten but not gone You drink it off your mind You talk about the world Like it's somplace that you've been
You see you'd love to run home But you know you ain't got one 'Cause you're livin' in a world That you're best fogotten around here

You say there ain't no use in livin' And it's all a waste of time And you wanna throw your life away Well, people, that's just fine
Go ahead on and get it over with, then, Find you a bridge and take a jump. Just make sure you do it right the first time, 'Cause nothing's worse than a suicide chump.

Later on a new spring morning I felt my strength come back around I knew I'd come full circle Left with the wisdom that I found I had to run I heard my home calling my name Back to a better place Back to somewhere I knew I could stay

If I was beautiful like you Oh the things I would do Those not so blessed would be crying out murder And I'd just laugh and get away with it too Like you do
If I was beautiful like you I would never be at fault I'd walk in the rain between the raindrops Bringing traffic to a halt
But that will never be No that will never never be Cuz I'm not beautiful like you I'm beautiful like me

Lets amend the classic story, close it so beautifully, I'll let animosity unwind Steal away the darkened pages, hidden so shamefully I'll still feel the violence of the lines I cant stand my laughter as they cry My soul brings tears to angelic eyes And miles away my mother cries Omnipotence, nurturing malevolence.

Now for ten years we've been on our own and moss grows fat on a rollin stone but that's not how it used to be, when the jester sang for the king and queen in a coat he borrowed from James Dean and a voice that came from you and me, oh and while the king was looking down, the jester stole his thorny crown the courtroom was adjourned, no verdict was returned, and while Lenin read a book on Marx, the quartet practiced in the park and we sang dirges in the dark, the day, the music, died.

Twenty-six years and seems like I've just begun To understand my, my intimate is no one When the director sold the show, who bought its last rites? They cut the cast, the music, and the lights
This is my line, this is eternal How did I ever end up here? Discarnate, preternatural My prayers to disappear Absent of grace, marked as infernal Ungranted in dead time left me disowned To this nature, so unnatural I remain alone

"There's a radio tower, it's egging you on. Back to the place where you never belonged. Where the people thrive on their own contempt. Whatever meaning is long gone spent. If you had to guess or make bet, Would you place yourself inside of it? The mountains yawn. the clouds let out a sigh. 'Tricked again.' let go. okay."

Beside yourself if RADIO's gonna stay. Reason: it could polish up the grey. Put that put that put that up your wall That this isn't country at all Raving station beside yourself Keep me out of country in the word Deal the porch is leading us absurd.

Omaha Somewhere in middle America Get right to the heart of matters It's the heart that matters more I think you'd better turn your ticket in And leave your money right at the door Start threading the needle Brush past the shuttle that slides through the cold room Start turning the wool across the wire Roll the new life over In the middle of the night there's an old man Threading his toes through a bucket of rain Hey mister if you want to walk on water You're only going to walk all over me
