If today was not an crooked highway
If tonight was not an crooked trail If tomorrow wasn't such a long time Then lonesome would mean nothing to me at all Yes and only if my own true love was waiting If I could hear her heart softly pounding If only she was lying by me Then I'd lie in my bed once again I can't see my reflection in the water I can't speak the sounds that show no pain I can't hear the echo of my footsteps I can't remember the sound of my own name Yes and only if my own true love was waiting If I could hear her heart softly pounding If only she was lying by me Then I'd lie in my bed once again There's beauty in the silver singing river There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky But none of these and nothing else could match the beauty That I remember in my true love's eyes Yes and only if my own true love was waiting If I could hear her heart softly pounding If only she was lying by me Then I'd lie in my bed once again If today was not an endless highway If tonight was not an endless trail If tomorrow wasn't such a long time Then lonesome would mean nothing to me at all Yes and only if my own true love was waiting If I could hear her heart softly pounding If only she was lying by me Then I'd lie in my bed once again |

Nobody feels any pain
Tonight as I stand inside the rain Everybody knows that baby's got new clothes But lately I see her ribbons and her bows Have fallen from her curls She takes just like a woman Yes, she does, she makes love just like a woman Yes, she does, and she aches just like a woman But she breaks just like a little girl Queen Mary, she's my friend Yes, I believe I'll go see her again Nobody has to guess that baby can't be blessed 'Til she finally sees that she's like all the rest With her fog, her amphetamine, and her pearls She takes just like a woman Yes, she makes love just like a woman Yes, she does, and she aches just like a woman But she breaks just like a little girl It was raining from the first and I was dying there of thirst So I came in here And your long-time curse hurts, but what's worse Is this pain in here, I can't stay in here, ain't it clear That I just can't fit Yes, I believe that it's time for us to quit But when we meet again, introduced as friends Please don't let on that you knew me when I was hungry and it was your world Ah, you fake just like a woman Yes, you do, you make love just like a woman Yes, you do, then you ache just like a woman But you break just like a little girl |

When you're lost in the rain in Juarez
And it's Eastertime too And your gravity fails And negativity don't pull you through Don't put on any airs When you're down on Rue Morgue Avenue They got some hungry women there And they really make a mess outa you. Now if you see Saint Annie Please tell her thanks a lot I cannot move My fingers are all in a knot I don't have the strength To get up and take another shot And my best friend, my doctor Won't even say what it is I've got. Sweet Melinda The peasants call her the goddess of gloom She speaks good English And she invites you up into her room And you're so kind And careful not to go to her too soon And she takes your voice And leaves you howling at the moon. Up on Housing Project Hill It's either fortune or fame You must pick up one or the other Though neither of them are to be what they claim If you're lookin' to get silly You better go back to from where you came Because the cops don't need you And man they expect the same. Now all the authorities They just stand around and boast How they blackmailed the sergeant-at-arms Into leaving his post And picking up Angel who Just arrived here from the coast Who looked so fine at first But left looking just like a ghost. I started out on burgundy But soon hit the harder stuff Everybody said they'd stand behind me When the game got rough But the joke was on me There was nobody even there to bluff I'm going back to New York City I do believe I've had enough. |

They sat together in the park
As the evening sky grew dark. She looked at him and he felt a spark Tingle to his bones. 'Twas then he felt alone And wished that he'd gone straight And watched out for a simple twist of fate. They walked alone by the old canal. A little confused, I remember well, And stopped into a strange hotel with a neon burning bright. He felt the heat of the night hit him like a freight train Moving with a simple twist of fate. A saxophone someplace far off played As she was walking on by the arcade As the light bust through a beat up shade Where he was waking up. She dropped a coin into the cup of a blind man at the gate And forgot about a simple twist of fate. He woke up; the room was bare. He didn't see her anywhere. He told himself he didn't care; pushed the window open wide; Felt an emptiness inside to which he just could not relate Brought on by a simple twist of fate. He hears the ticking of the clocks And walks along with a parrot that talks. Hunts her down by the waterfront docks Where the sailors all come in. Maybe she'll pick him out again. How long must he wait One more time for a simple twist of fate. People tell me it's a sin To know and feel too much within. I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring. She was born in spring, but I was born too late. Blame it on a simple twist of fate. |

One time in London I'd gone out for a walk,
Past a place called Hyde park where people talk 'Bout all kinds of different gods, they have their point of view To anyone passing by, that's who they're talking to. There was someone on a platform talking to the folks About the T.V. god and all the pain that it invokes. "It's too bright a light", he said, "For anybody's eyes, If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise." I moved in closer, got up on my toes, Two men in front of me were coming to blows The man was saying something 'bout children when they're young Being sacrificed to it while lullabies are being sung. "The news of the day is on all the time, All the latest gossip, all the latest rhyme, Your mind is your temple, keep it beautiful and free, Don't let an egg get laid in it by something you can't see." "Pray for peace!". he said, you could feel it in the crowd. My thoughts began to wander. His voice was ringing loud, "It will destroy your family, your happy home is gone No one can protect you fro it once you turn it on." "It will led you into some strange pursuits, Lead you to the land of forbidden fruits. It will scramble up your head and drag your brain about, Sometimes you gotta do like Elvis did and shoot the damn thing out." "It's all been designed", he said, "To make you lose your mind, And when you go back to find it, there's nothing there to find." "Everytime you look at it, your situation's worse, If you feel it grabbing out for you, send for the nurse." The crowd began to riot and they grabbed hold of the man, There was pushing, there was shoving and everybody ran. The T.V. crew was there to film it, they jumped right over me, Later on that evening, I watched it on T.V.. |

The guilty undertaker sighs, the lonesome organ grinder cries
The silver saxophones say I should refuse you The cracked bells and washed-out horns blow into my face with scorn But it's not that way, I wasn't born to lose you I want you I want you I want you so bad Honey, I want you The drunken politician leaps upon the street where mothers weep And the saviors who are fast asleep, they wait for you And I wait for them to interrupt me drinking from my broken cup And ask me to open up the gate for you I want you I want you Yes, I want you so bad Honey, I want you Now all my fathers, they've gone down True love, they've been without it And all their daughters put me down 'Cause I don't think about it Well, I return to the Queen of Spades and talk with my chambermaid She knows that I'm not afraid to look at her She is good to me and there's nothing she doesn't see She knows where I'd like to be, but it doesn't matter I want you I want you Yes, I want you so bad Honey, I want you Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit, he spoke to me, I took his flute No, I wasn't that cute to him, was I? But I did it because he lied and because he took you for a ride And because time was on his side and because I Want you I want you Yes, I want you so bad Honey, I want you |

It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It don't matter, anyhow And it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe If you don't know by now When your rooster crows at the breaks of dawn Look out your window and I'll be gone You're the reason I'm traveling on Don't think twice, it's all right. It ain't no use in turning on your light, babe That light I never knowed And it ain't no use in turning on your light, babe I'm on the dark side of the road But I wish there was somethin' you would do or say To try and make me change my mind and stay We never did too much talking anyway So don't think twice, it's all right. It ain't no use in calling out my name, gal Like you never done before It ain't no use in calling out my name, gal I can't hear you any more I'm a-thinking and a-wond'rin' walking down the road I once loved a woman, a child I'm told I give her my heart but she wanted my soul Don't think twice, it's all right. So long honey, babe Where I'm bound, I can't tell Goodbye's too good a word, babe So I'll just say fare thee well I ain't saying you treated me unkind You could have done better but I don't mind You just kinda wasted my precious time But don't think twice, it's all right. |

Trails of troubles,
Roads of battles, Paths of victory, I shall walk. The trail is dusty And my road it might be rough, But the better roads are waiting And boys it ain't far off. Trails of troubles, Roads of battles, Paths of victory, We shall walk. I walked down by the river, I turned my head up high. I saw that silver linin' That was hangin' in the sky. Trails of troubles, Roads of battles, Paths of victory, We shall walk. The evenin' dusk was rollin', I was walking down the track. There was a one-way wind a-blowin' And it was blowin' at my back. Trails of troubles, Roads of battles, Paths of victory, We shall walk. The gravel road is bumpy, It's a hard road to ride, But there's a clearer road a-waitin' With the cinders on the side. Trails of troubles, Roads of battles, Paths of victory, We shall walk. That evening train was rollin', The hummin' of its wheels, My eyes they saw a better day As I looked across the fields. Trails of troubles, Roads of battles, Paths of victory, We shall walk. The trail is dusty, The road it might be rough, But the good road is a-waitin' And boys it ain't far off. Trails of troubles, Roads of battles, Paths of victory, We shall walk. |
