All Lines
And put his fingers to his chin
And put us on our way
And puts her hands in her back pockets
And rattle your walls
And reciting the alphabet
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it
And relive my dreams
And remain as I am
And remember when you're out there
And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings
And revolution in the air
And ride a horse along a trail
And righteousness reigns
And rivers that ran through ev'ry day
And rob every bank you can see
And robbed my boots
And Robert Louis Stevenson?
And rolls and flows and rolls and flows
And Rosemary on the gallows, she didn't even blink
And said good-bye forever
And said that way down on Highway 61
And said, ''Eternity!''
And sail away
And salt for salt
And says ''that don't look a thing like me!''
And says, ''How does it feel
And scratched your name in sand
And scream it
And see the lights surrounding you
And sent for her physician to quickly heal his wounds
And she aches just like a woman
And she also keeps the cards that read
And she began to shout
And she bragged about her son with his uniform and gun
And she buttoned her boot
And she don't want to remind me. She knows this car would go out of control
And she had left him to die in there
And she in between, the victim of sound
And she invites you up into her room
And she never done nothing to William Zanzinger
And she takes your voice
And she winds back the clock and she turns back the page
And she worked on my face until breaking my eyes
And she'll only know he's dead
And she's leavin' me in misery
And shot it full of holes
And silk upon my back
And since my feet are now fast
And sing praise
And sit before it gets too late
And so are you, Angelina
And so elite
And so is the bride
And so it did happen like it could have been foreseen
And so it was on Christmas eve
And so Patty calls the cops
And so this trial was a mockery, but nobody seemed to mind
And so, to conclude and to finish disputes
And some dark night, when everything
And some of us'll stand up
And some of us'll wind up
And some old whore from San Pedro to make advances
And some people thinkin' that the end is close by
And somebody else says, ''Where what is?''
And somebody points to you and says
And someday if God's in heaven overlookin' His preserve
And someday maybe
And someone says,'' You're in the wrong place, my friend
And something inside of him died
And sometimes I have a dime
And sometimes I'm in the mood, I wanna hear my milk cow moan
And sometimes I'm in the mood, I wanna hit the highway road
And soon the situation there
And start buying the place with beads''
And started off a-walkin' down the road
And stay in your number
And stop being influenced by fools
And stopped into a strange hotel with a neon burnin' bright
And straightened her suit
And stuck a gun into my guts
And sup on thin gruel in the morning.''
And sure as hell you're bound to tell
And swear words and sneering, and his tongue it was snarling
And talk with my chambermaid
And tapestry of rhyme
And tears or not, it's too much to ask
And tells me of her dreams
And that even the nobles get properly handled
And that failure's no success at all
And that is that ev'ryone
And that is that there's a certain way
And that land that I live in
And that old sign on the cross
And that pretty dancing girl
And that seven deaths shall never kill him
And that smile's so hard to resist
And that the ladder of law has no top and no bottom
And that the strings in the books ain't pulled and persuaded
And that there ain't no man righteous, no not one
And that which you've given me today
And that's good enough for now
And that's the authority on high
And the ace once ran wild
And the all-night girls they whisper of escapades out on the ''D'' train
And the all-white jury agreed
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
And the bankers are takin' my home and my land from me
And the boat drifts on to the shoreline
And the breeze will cease to be breathin'
And the bright light of salvation shines
And the car I drive is a Chevrolet
And the cards are no good that you're holding
And the Civil War too
And the clouds are weeping
And the cops are puttin' the screws to him, lookin' for somebody to blame.
And the cops were called in and his weapon took from him
And the corner sign
And the day is a-gettin' dark
And the diamonds from the deepest ocean
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face
And the dust of rumors covers me
And the fighting is strong
And the fire in the air, it felt frozen
And the fire that burns in it
And the first one now
And the flower pot's from Pakistan
And the girl with me behind the shades, she ain't my property
And the givin' was good
And the Good Samaritan, he's dressing
And the hangman's knot must fall
And the harmonica around my neck, I blew it for you, free
And the head of a hyena
And the hoof beats pound in his brain
And the hunchback of Notre Dame
And the judge says, ''Mona can't have no bond.''
And the ladies treat me kindly
And the lava flowed down from the mountain high above
And the lightnin's a-flashing and the thunder's a-crashin'
And the lion's mouth opens and yer staring at his teeth
And the little wee drummer, we flattened his bow
And the locusts sang and they were singing for me
And the locusts sang off in the distance
And the locusts sang with a high whinin' trill
And the locusts sang, well, it give me a chill
And the locusts sang, yeah, it give me a chill
And the mailbox is locked
And the man asked me who I was
And the marshals and cops get the same
And the mercy that you showed to me, who ever would have guessed?
And the money that we made will pay for the space
And the morning will be breaking
And the mother had to turn her face away
And the mountains are filled
And the names of the heroes
And the National Bank at a profit sells road maps for the soul
And the Negro's name
And the neighbor said, ''Are those clothes yours?''
And the neighbors they clap
And the newspapers, they all went along for the ride
And the old man then rolled off the curb
And the one I love so close at hand
And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn
And the only sound that's left
And the only tune
And the other starts slipping and the feeling is gone
And the pearls are from Japan
And the people that confronted him were many
And the Phantom's shouting to skinny girls
And the point is slick
And the poor white remains
And the princess and the prince
And the rain she's a-turnin' into hail
And the rainman leaves in the wolfman's disguise
And the red iron rotted
And the riot squad they're restless
And the rocks on the sand
And the room smelled heavy from drinking
And the sands on the shoreline will be shaking
And the saviors who are fast asleep
And the seagulls they'll be smiling
And the seas began to part
And the ship will hit
And the ship's wise men
And the smell of their roses does not remain
And the snow's so deep
And the sooner you come up with them
And the sound of the keys as they clink
And the sounds in the night
And the station doors are closed
And the sun is going down
And the sun will respect
And the superhuman crew
And the table's full and overflowed
And the tellin' of his story
And the trumpet play slow
And the walls are barbed wire
And the walls collide, Mona cries
And the wandering kind
And the whole world is on your case
And the whole world's a-watchin' with a window peek stare
And the wind blows high above the tree
And the wind punched hard
And the wind will pound
And the Wind.''
And the wind
And the wind
And the wind
And the wind
And the wind
And the windows are rattlin' and breakin' and the roof tops a-shakin'
And the winds a-blowin' gale
And the wood's easy findin' but yer lazy to fetch it
And the words that are used
And the world's on its side
And their old rusty rapiers that hung by their sides
And them Caribbean winds still blow from Nassau to Mexico
And them distant ships of liberty on them iron waves so bold and free
And then complains
And then he clicks his high heels
And then he kneels
And then I kiss your lips as I lift your veil
And then I shut all the doors
And then I turn my head, for you're approachin' me
And then mysteriously saved
And then our shadows meet and then we drink the wine
And then say God bless him
And then say your tongue just slipped
And then the kerosene
And then the tears roll down, what a bitter taste
And then to stop the United States of yelling for a trial
And then unto eternity
And then you do wrong all night
And then you drift away on a summer's day where the wildflowers bloom
And then you told me later, as I apologized
And there ain't no man righteous, no not one
And there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden
And there are no trials inside the Gates of Eden
And there are no truths outside the Gates of Eden
And there he spied his darlin' bride
And there is no one there to dry your tears
And there is some in the championship, too
And there was more to be sung
And there was no man around
And there was nobody aroun'
And there was nothing more to tell
And there's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend
And there's danger in this open world
And there's danger on the battlefield
And there's danger on the ocean
And there's never any mercy night after night
And there's no exit in any direction
And there's no moon
And there's no one there to comfort you, with a helpin' hand to lend
And there's no tellin' who
And there's no time to say a fare-thee-well
And there's no time to think
And there's no use in tryin'
And there's nothing I desire
And there's nothing she doesn't see
And there's nothing to me that's sacred
And there's nothing to remind me of that
And there's really nothin' anyone can say
And there's something on yer mind you wanna be saying
And these are my final words
And these bad luck women stick like glue
And these things you called a good old-fashioned war
And these visions of Johanna are now all that remain
And these visions of Johanna that conquer my mind
And these visions of Johanna, they kept me up past the dawn
And they arrive on the scene with their red lights flashin'
And they cheer with each blast
And they gotta cut somethin'
And they hung him on a cross
And they laid him down on the jailhouse ground
And they lived in an alley under the red sky
And they locked me down in jailhouse cells
And they made a killer out of him
And they put you on the day shift
And they really make a mess outa you
And they rode off together
And they say his name is Priest.''
And they set him on a path where he's bound to get ill
And they threw away the key
And they threw him in the waters wide to cease his screaming pain
And they were both out on Highway 61
And they, they look at me and frown
And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'
And they'll yet regret they've sent Jim Jones
And they're all too hard to please
And they're breaking down the distance
And they're goin' out like a dinosaur
And they've all liked your looks
And things would be different the next time we wed
And think they're foolin' you
And this is no place to hide.''
And those whom doom and death had spared
And though her eyes are fixed upon
And though I don't ask for much
And though it's only my opinion
And though our separation, it pierced me to the heart
And though the line is cut
And though they could not produce the gun
And though this man could hardly see
And three o'clock in the afternoon
And through the roar and smoke, this string is finally broke
And time is beginning to crawl
And time is running backwards
And to have a nice day
And to know that you'll never be mine
And to see an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
And to take up my cross?
And to talk of peace and brotherhood
And to the black folks he was just a crazy nigger
And to think of how she left that night, it still brings me a chill
And to you, always, so grateful
And to yourself you sometimes say
And together we'll fly south.''
And told him what a
And tomorrow's mornin' seems so far away
And too tired to sing
And turn two kinds of doorknobs
And turns his back on me
And Turtle, that friend of theirs
And Uncle Remus can't tell you and neither can Santa Claus
And up and down the lonesome town
And wait for succeeding kings
And walked on down the road
And walks along with a parrot that talks
And was in his chambers
And watch it burn without any regret
And watch it grow
And watch the river flow
And watch the young torero stand alone
And watched its winding strum
And watched out for a simple twist of fate
And we all want what's his
And we came to a door
And we haven't even started yet
And we havin' no money, paid them off in cracks
And we lathered them there like a pair of wet sacks
And we made a football of his rowdy-dow-dow
And we met Sergeant Napper and Corporal Vamp
And we scarce gave them time to draw their own blades
And we slept near the Alamo, your skin was so tender and soft
And we were friends
And we'll both go home together
And we'll leave this ol' highway behind
And we'll put them on the wall when you come home.''
And we'll ride off together
And we're gonna do what the law should do
And were taking him away
And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
And what did you hear, my darling young one?
And what's made in the U.S.A
And when bringing her name up
And when finally the bottom fell out
And when he sees his reflection, he's fulfilled
And when I'm called up yonder
And when it's over I'd just as soon go on my way
And when it's time for leaving Mozambique
And when she did come, I asked her for some
And when you do, I wanna be there
And when you go back to find it, there's nothing there to find.''
And when you've decided that you've had enough, then
And where do you look for this hope that yer seekin'
And wherever you might look tonight, you might get a glimpse of me
And while ev'rybody knelt to pray
And who builds his town with blood
And who did I see but the one I love
And who lies with ev'ry breath
And who's been left behind
And will be buried at the bottom of the ocean
And with all of them ladies, though, he's lonely still
And with all the ship's company
And with every step I take
And with the child of a hoodlum wrapped up in your arms
And with the whole ship's company
And without further notice
And wrap it up in a sailor's knot
And ye shall be changed
And yer bell's bangin' loudly but you can't hear its beat
And yer eyes get swimmy from the tears in yer head
And yer flat on your belly with yer hands tied behind
And yer good gal leaves and she's long gone a-flying
And yer heart feels sick like fish when they're fryin'
And yer jackhammer falls from yer hand to yer feet
And yer knee-deep in the dark water with yer hands in the air
And yer minutes of sun turn to hours of storm
And yer pillows of feathers turn to blankets of lead
And yer rope is a-slidin' 'cause yer hands are a-drippin'
And yer scared to yer soul you just might forget it
And yer sidewalk starts curlin' and the street gets too long
And yer sky cries water and yer drain pipe's a-pourin'
And yer sun-decked desert and evergreen valleys
And yer train engine fire needs a new spark to catch it
And yer trouble is you know it too good
And yer whole world's a-slammin' and bangin'
And yes, I believe you do
And yes, there's something you can send back to me
And you ain't gonna stop
And you are on dry land
And you ask, ''Is this where it is?''
And you been eating the bread of sorrow
And you can have your youth
And you can hitchhike on the highway
And you can't find it either in the no-talent fools
And you can't find it on the golf course
And you can't remember for the best of yer thinking
And you don't deserve me
And you fear that they might catch you a-sleeping
And you feel kinda lonesome
And you feel the reins from yer pony are slippin'
And you figured you failed in yesterdays rush
And you go to sleep right now
And you go watch the geek
And you have no time to think
And you hide from my eyes
And you jump from yer bed, from yer last chapter of dreamin'
And you just sittin' there
And you know he's got our best interest in mind.''
And you know it blows right through me like a ball and chain
And you know it
And you know it
And you know it
And you know it's true
And you know that it's something special you're needin'
And you know that there's no drug that'll do for the healin'
And you know there was somethin' about you baby that I liked that was always too good for this world
And you know this was meant to be true
And you look like it wouldn't hurt you none to have a man who could give ya something
And you must realize the danger
And you need a place to stay
And you need it badly but it lays on the street
And you need something special
And you never ask questions
And you running back to him
And you say to yourself just what am I doin'
And you say, ''For what reason?''
And you say, ''Impossible''
And you say, ''Oh my God
And you say, ''What does this mean?''
And you say, ''What's mine?''
And you say, ''Who is that man?''
And you search in vain to find just one law abiding citizen
And you see why it's so unique to be
And you start gettin' chills and yer jumping from sweat
And you start walkin' backwards though you know its wrong
And you tell me Santa Claus
And you think yer ears might a been hurt
And you thinks it's funny
And you turn and run farther
And you walked a rugged mile
And you want somebody you don't have to speak to
And you wish you'd never taken that last detour sign
And you won't be disappointed when vain people let you down
And you wouldn't know it would happen like this
And you yell to yourself and you throw down yer hat
And you, you took me in
And you'll be fine at the end of the line
And you'll die in your footsteps
And you'll give it to me now
And you'll see you look much better with me than you do with him
And your basement clothes and your hollow face
And your cowboy mouth and your curfew plugs
And your death'll come soon
And your deck of cards missing the jack and the ace
And your eyes like smoke and your prayers like rhymes
And your fall by the sword love affair with Erroll Flynn
And your father to your sister he explains
And your feet can only walk down two kinds of roads
And your fingertips
And your flesh like silk, and your face like glass
And your gentleness now, which you just can't help but show
And your golden loom
And your gravity fails
And your head's gonna be in a knot
And your highway's gettin' filled
And your legs can't seem to stand
And your long-time curse hurts
And your magazine-husband who one day just had to go
And your match-book songs and your gypsy hymns
And your nights are long
And your nose on the ground
And your pleasure knows no limits
And your saintlike face and your ghostlike soul
And your silver cross, and your voice like chimes
And your Spanish manners and your mother's drugs
And your streetcar visions which you place on the grass
And your streets are gettin' empty
And you're always achin'
And you're down for the count
And you're lookin' for somethin' you ain't quite found yet
And you're sick of all this repetition
And you're so kind
And you're the best thing that he's ever seen
And you're thinkin' of me
And You've chosen me to be among the few
And) deep down inside
And) see the ghosts of slavery ships
And, anyway, you're just gonna make people jump and roar
And, foaming at the mouth
And, mama, you've been refused
And, momma, I'm a-just sittin' on the shelf
And, when I was through
Angelina
Anger and jealousy's all that he sells us
Anita Ekberg,
Another best friend, somehow
Another one of them endless days
Answer me, baby, a casual look will do
Answers of emptiness, voice vacancies
Any day now, any day now
Any minute now I'm expecting all hell to break loose
Any minute of the day the bubble could burst
Any time you want
Anyone with any sense had already left town
Anything you never gave before
Anytime, anyplace, anywhere
Anyway it wouldn't ring true
Anyway they already expect you
Anyway, I put money on him to win
Are being stolen by bandits
Are beyond your command
Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
Are scattered in the wild wind
Are the things you need the least
Are they enemies or victims
Are they lost or are they found, have they counted the cost it'll take to bring down
Are they playing our song?
Are waiting in line for their geranium kiss
Are you flying or have you flipped?
Are you frightened of the box you keep him in
Are you looking at me and thinking of somebody else?
Are you ready for Armageddon?
Are you ready for that terrible swift sword?
Are you ready for the day of the Lord?
Are you ready for the judgment?
Are you ready to meet Jesus?
Are you ready, are you ready?
Are you ready, hope you're ready
Are you ready, I hope you're ready
Are you ready?
Are you so fast that you cannot see that I must have solitude?
Are you someone, anyone?
Are you still my friend, baby, show me a sign
Are you talking to me?
Are you the same person
Are you thinking for yourself
Are you where you ought to be?
Are you willing to risk it all
Around this old cabin door
Around with the carnival trains
Around you have grown
Arthur Dexter Bradley said, ''I'm really not sure.''
As a crutch for her scenes and her society
As easy it was to tell black from white
As eye and minds went blind
As friends and other strangers
As great as you are a man
As he bummed a cigarette
As he came charging down the stairs
As he hands you a bone
As he looked around the aftermath and the soldier got tough
As he rises to fame
As he saw me leap a hot dog stand
As he started to load
As he talked to himself
As he turned away to walk, his Ma was still in shock
As he weeps to wicked birds of prey
As her beauty fades and I watch her undrape
As her thoughts pounded hard
As his fist hit the icebox
As his youth now unfolds
As human gods aim for their mark
As I heard that front door slam
As I landed on the psychiatric couch
As I look around this world all that I'm finding
As I looked across the fields
As I ponder, hopes grow fonder
As I quit in the spring
As I see my ol' friends go by
As I seen him get his gun
As I stand upon the sand
As I stepped out of the womb
As I stepped to the stage to pick up my degree
As I travel down life's pathway
As I turn my head back to the room
As I waited for the sun to go sinking
As I walked out in the mystic garden
As I walked out tonight in the mystic garden
As I was out walking on a corner one day
As I was walkin' away
As I went out one morning
As if a wedding vow
As if it was a purse
As I'm a-driftin' from your view
As I'm eating a sandwich
As I'm knowin' myself
As I'm ramblin' you can travel with me too
As Lady and I look out tonight
As majestic bells of bolts struck shadows in the sounds
As my silver strings spun
As quiet as a mouse
As she showed them to the people from next door
As she stood in the shadows
As she was walkin' by the arcade
As she, herself, prepares for him
As some warn victory, some downfall
As someone who has had you on his mind
As soon as they grow
As soon as you're awake, you're trained to take
As that old train pulled out, John's ma began to shout
As the curb was his pillow, the street was his bed
As the curtain is drawn and somebody's eyes
As the dying gunfighter lay in the sun and gasped for his last breath
As the echo of the wedding bells before the blowin' rain
As the evening sky grew dark
As the fire burns on and the smoke drifts away
As the floor caved in and the boiler in the basement blew
As the harmonicas whined in the lonesome nighttime
As the island slowly sank
As the last fire truck from hell
As the last ship sails and the moon fades away
As the leading actor hurried by in the costume of a monk
As the light bust through a beat-up shade where he was wakin' up
As the mainsail shifts
As the mornin' light breaks open, the Greek comes down
As the night comes in a-fallin'
As the present now
As the rain beats down and the cranes fly away
As the rain rattled heavy
As the stars fell down and the fields burned away
As the storm clouds rise and the palm branches sway
As the sun went down and the music did play
As the tune drifted out
As the tune finally folded
As the white line on the highway sails under your wheels
As the years passed the door
As they carried him from the courtroom
As they follow each other back up the hill
As they rode him in custody down to the station
As they swim out of the path
As they watched him from above
As they were taking down the tents
As to be under the strength of your skin
As we listened one last time an' we watched with one last look
As we rode through the canyons, through the devilish cold
As we went a-walkin' down by the seaside
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
As you yourself can see
As young people's blood
Ashes and diamonds
Ashes in the furnace, dust on the rise
Ask himself if it's him or them that's really insane
Ask Lot what he thought when his wife turned to stone
Assured that love is just a four-letter word
At a Baltimore hotel society gath'rin'
At a hundred miles an hour
At a quarter to three
At any cost
At any moment you could go under
At bringin' back any help
At dawn my lover comes to me
At Delilah who sits worthlessly alone
At half past ten
At least you can't say he was a Communist!
At me with all his might
At my head and I did run
At my window with a broken wing
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
At night I dream of bells in the village steeple
At night the boss came home
At not gettin' their money's worth
At one time there was nothing wrong with me
At one-oh-three
At pettiness which plays so rough
At Saint Peter's gate
At seein' the metal brace that helped him stand
At ships with tattooed sails
At six-thirty flat
At sundown
At that big house as bright as any sun
At that million dollar bash
At the back of your head as you drink
At the bottom of a wishing well.''
At the close of the day
At the corrida we'll sit in the shade
At the end of the rainbow life has only begun
At the end of the trail
At the head of the chamber of commerce
At the man whose clothes 'n' shoes were torn
At the mongrel dogs who teach
At the old dance hall on the outskirts of town
At the peak of the night, the king and the queen
At the sorority sister's home
At times I think there are no words
At tryin' to make a stab
At your feet to convince you of your pain
Ate Burger Kings, he was well fed
Ate up all of the wedding cake, Uh-huh
Atlantic City by the cold grey sea
Australian mountain range
Authorities, they hated him
Automobile comin' into style
A-whistlin' loud and merry
A-worry about me when I'm gone.''
Babe, I couldn't find the door
Babe, I'd do it all over you
Babe, I'd even do that too
Babe, I'd lay awake all night
Babe, I'd run circles all around
Babe, I'm already lost
Babe, I'm walkin' down the line
Babe, I've already been tossed
Babe, you're tryin' to lose me
Baby I'm under your spell
Baby that I wouldn't do
Baby, and my days are gonna come
Baby, can't you tell
Baby, caught between heaven and hell
Baby, I'll be at the same hotel
Baby, is there anything left to tell?
Baby, oh what a story I could tell
Baby, please come home
Baby, please stop crying, stop crying, stop crying
Baby, please stop crying
Baby, thank you for my tea!
Baby, they ring in my head like a bell
Baby, two feet from the well
Baby, what more can I tell?
Back alley Sally is doing the American jump
Back to ship or back to jail
Backseat drivers don't know the feel of the wheel, but they sure know how to make a fuss
Backstage the girls were playin' five-card stud by the stairs
Bad blood it got your mare
Bad news, bad news
Badge out, laid off
Band of the hand
Batter have to go back and sit down
Be careful not to touch the wall, there's a brand-new coat of paint
Be grateful for what we've shared together and be glad
Be in the palm of some fool's hand?
Be it mine right or wrongfully
Be sixteen come Sunday.''
Be that woman every night
Be that woman
Be them somebody else's or my own
Be with you
Bear Mountain picnic was comin' my way
Beat a path of retreat up them spiral staircases
Beat or cheat or mistreat you
Beautiful lady, so dear to my heart
Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine
Because he can't be bribed or bought by the things that you adore
Because he can't be exploited by superstition anymore
Because he doesn't pay no tribute to the king that you serve
Because he don't increase his worth at someone else's expense
Because he has denied himself the things that you can't live without
Because he sinned I got no choice, it run in my vein
Because he took you for a ride
Because he was just too real
Because he's not afraid of trying, 'cause he don't look at you and smile
Because I'm up on a hill and still you're not there
Because something is happening here
Because the cops don't need you
Been shooting craps and gambling, momma, and I done got broke
Been shooting in the dark too long
Been so long since a strange woman has slept in my bed
Been workin' on the mainline - workin' like the devil
Before doors close and our togetherness comes to an end
Before he can hear people cry?
Before he can see the sky?
Before I do pass on
Before I get to the ledge
Before I go down under the ground
Before it all snaps and goes too far
Before it gets late
Before it's washed to the sea?
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Before they all disappear.''
Before they kill me dead
Before they're allowed to be free?
Before they're forever banned?
Before we decay
Before we wake up and find ourselves in a daze that's got us out of our minds?
Before you call him a man?
Before you go down under the ground
Begging God for mercy and weepin' in unholy places
Behind a man's brain
Behind a wood pilin'
Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain
Being chained to the floor, but
Being peaceably calm
Being sacrificed to it while lullabies are being sung
Believe me, ain't no lie, Lawd, Lawd
Believe me, it ain't no fun, Lawd, Lawd
Believes all things, won't pull no strings
Bello and Bradley and they both baldly lied
Bends me over and buys me beer
Beneath a bare light bulb the plaster did pound
