I talked to God and God said, John
I let them kill my only son
My creations so undone
That I can’t help out everyone
But if you’re looking for advice
You don’t need to ask me twice
Start with the basics ‘just be nice’
And see if that makes things all right
If you should ever leave me
Though life would go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me?
God only knows what I’d be without you.
Confessing to the endless sin
the endless whining sounds.
You’ll be praying till next Thursday to
all the gods that you can count.
Reasoning is partly insane
Image just an eyeless game
The night is turning thin
The saint is turning to sin
I’d rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints,
The sinners are much more fun.
Only the good die young!
All you sinners, drop everything
Let the melody and harmony ring
Lift arms up to Heaven and sing
Sing you sinners, won’t you sway n’ swing
What a thing
Walking on water, are miracles all you can trust
Measure your coffin does it measure up to your lust
So I think I’ll leave you
with your bishops and your guilt
so until the next time
Have a good sin.
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
'Cause I’m in need of some restraint
He’s not afraid of your judgment
He knows of horrors worse than your Hell
He’s a little bit afraid of dying
But he’s a lot more afraid of your lying
I’m not scared of dying,
And I don’t really care.
If it’s peace you find in dying,
Well then let the time be near.
I gits weary
An’ sick of tryin’
I’m tired of livin’
An’ skeered of dyin’,
But ol’ man river,
He jes’ keeps rollin’ along!
Free fall flow, river flow
On and on it goes
Breathe under water 'till the end
Yes, the river knows
Please believe me
If you don’t need me
I’m going, but I need a little time
I promised I would drown myself in mystic heated wine
Drinking that mess, their delight
When they gets drunk, start fighting all night
Knocking down windows and tearin out doors
Drinkin’ half a gallon and callin’ for more
Drinkin’ wine spo-dee-O-dee, drinkin’ wine (bop ba)
Wine spo-dee-O-dee, drinkin’ wine (bop ba)
Wine spo-dee-O-dee, drinkin’ wine (bop ba)
Pass that bottle to me
Send me no wine, to make an invitation
Leave me no time, for your imagination
Only to find, words in your mind
They’re gonna make you leave your heart behind
I left my heart in San Francisco
High on a hill, it calls to me.
And a good heart these days is hard to find (a good heart)
True love, the lasting kind
A good heart these days is hard to find
So please be gentle with this heart of mine
I’ve been to Hollywood
I’ve been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean
for a heart of gold
I’ve been in my mind,
it’s such a fine line
That keeps me searching
for a heart of gold
And I’m getting old.
I looked in the mirror today
My eyes just didn’t seem so bright
I’ve lost a few more hairs
I think I’m, I’m going bald
You don’t answer my call
With even a nod or a wink
But you gaze at your own reflection!
You don’t seem to see me
But I think you can see yourself.
How can the mirror affect you?
I looked into the mirror,
And it poisoned my mind twice
It left me both times crippled,
And it tossed my fate like dice
