Sex beat |

I cannot get a look at it
so, I'm burning them on the deal anyway I see her come down from the top of the stairs I guess that I'd be cool, but there's a tickle in my veins I've been a real good tombstone, but now I'm blowing away She is like an eye-blue swimming pool but, she will never know that she is there we sit together drunk like our fathers used to be I'm looking up and God is saying, "What are you gonna do?" I'm looking up and I'm crying, "I thought it was up to you!" but now She's like Heroin to me she's like Heroin to me she's like Heroin to me she cannot miss a vein don't let her take her love to town they will never fill her heart she needs a passion like her father's used to be I know, because I'm like the train shooting down the mainline I know, because I'm like the Indian wind along the telegraph lines and she's like Heroin to me she's like Heroin to me she's like Heroin to me she cannot miss a vein So mainline it! I cannot get a look at it so, I'm blowing back my trouble to the east while we sit together sad like our fathers used to be I know a perfect run by the sleep it puits in my heart I know my special rider, I can feel her in the dark she feels like Heroin to me she feels like Heroin to me she's like Heroin to me she cannot miss a vein |

I can see clearly
from my diamond eyes, I'm going to the mountain with the Fire Spirit no-one will accept all of me so the Fire...will stop Up through the streets the gunfire of cars, going to the mountain with the Fire Spirit no-one will take all of me so the Fire...will stop I will be cheating the whole ritual, I'm going to the mountain with the Fire Spirit no-one will expect all of me so the Fire..will stop Someone will break out of the circle, someone will turn and burn a world someone knows a better cell where the old north wind blows through southeast hell, yeah.... Invention was betrayed by the machine, promised like it was promised to me I'm going up to the mountain to see how the last thing, will set me free, yeah... I had to do something, I was wearing down, I was going down.... Why can no one ever touch a Fire Spirit? Why can no one ever hold a Fire Spirit? Why can no one ever feel a Fire Spirit? I am going to the mountain, I am going to the mountain, I am going to the mountain.... I can see clearly from my diamond eyes, I'm going to the mountain with the Fire Spirit, no one will accept all of me... and the fire...will stop... With too much patience and too much pain, going to the mountain with the Fire Spirit to make amends for all of me... and the Fire...will stop. |

It's cloudy in the west, it looks like rain
my eyes are black holes and i'm burning away you slaughtered your loving man killed him in his sleep the blood and crying of your murder simply stains your sheets Now, you're a ghost on the highway your gesture is meaningless you're lost to the living men trailing souls to the end You thought winning as a woman, meant failing as a friend it is nor an art statement, to drown a few passionate men, you made yourself a diamond to blind young men's eyes you claim because they want your shine they deserve to walk the line, You're a ghost on the highway your gesture is meaningless you're lost forever to the living men trailing souls to the end Yes, I would give you my love so my soul would not starve but, it could never move the honest rock of what you really are, You're a ghost on the highway you're like straw and meaningless I hate you, but I love you I'll carry that to the end If I ever lie with you again, I pray I do not sleep If I ever closed my eyes again, I'd realize what you are to me. you are simply a liar an animal who bluffs and steals until you become a bigger creature's meal, You're a ghost on the highway your trash and meaningless I hate you, but I love you I'll carry that to the end You lost on the highway |

I'm moving on the black train
The night it beats me down I'm moving on the Black Train I breath a soundles sound, Riding on the Black Train Every drop in my body moves with the train And some of it's on the floor I'm slippin' out to anyplace Although I know I've been there before Riding on the Black Train Torn up on the Black Train Torn from my southern home Left a nigger lying dead by the river Left the Will-O-the-Wisp to roam Riding on the Black Train I'm heat on the Black Train A torch lighting up the night With everything I've had and everything I've done I still can't be satisfied, Riding on the Black Train |

I ask for water, give me gasoline I ask for water and she gave me gasoline Lord, Lordy Lord. Cryin', Lord, I wonder, will I ever get back home? Cryin', Lord, I wonder, I ever get back home? Lord, Lordy Lord. I went to the depot, looked up on the board I asked the conductor how long has this Eastbound train been gone? I asked the conductor could I ride the blinds? Son, buy your ticket, for that train ain't none of mine Son, buy your ticket, train ain't none of mine Lord, Lordy Lord. |
