rate me

Could God really be so cruel?<br />

To give us feelings that could never be fulfilled.<br />

'cause I ain't ever found peace upon the breast of a girl<br />

I ain't ever found peace with the religion of the world<br />

I ain't ever found peace at the bottom of a glass<br />

sometimes it seems the more I ask for the less I receive<br />

In our lives we hunger for those we cannot touch.<br />

All the thoughts unuttered & all the feelings unexpressed<br />

Play upon our hearts like the mist upon our breath.<br />

But, awoken by grief, our spirits speak<br />

"How could you believe that the life within the seed<br />

that grew arms that reached<br />

And a heart that beat.<br />

And lips that smiled<br />

And eyes that cried.<br />

Could ever die?"<br />

How many whores have walked through that door<br />

Lain by my side & climbed in my mind<br />

& taken me down to where the heat<br />

blisters the skin upon my feet<br />

makes me reach out & weep for the days when<br />

I was pure of heart & slept in peace.<br />

Everybody knows what's going wrong with the world<br />

But I don't even know what's going on in myself.<br />

I smell the pain upon the breath of the lost & lonely<br />

I hear the thoughts that whisper in the hearts of all men.<br />

You're the strangest feeling I ever had.<br />

You make me cry when you look into my eyes.<br />

And see me for who I really am.<br />

I've got too much energy to switch off my mind,<br />

but not enough to get myself organized.<br />

Don't tell me what your name is--<br />

I want your body, not your mind,<br />

I want a feeling, worth paying for before I say goodbye<br />

But as I was talking, I couldn't look her in the eyes,<br />

I just kept wondering,--<br />

How many men unleashed their frustration between her thighs?<br />

I was trying so hard to please myself,<br />

I was turning into somebody else.<br />

Well, what's a man got left to fight for<br />

when he's bought his freedom<br />

by the look of this human jungle<br />

It aint just the poor who'll be bleeding!<br />

I was just another western guy,<br />

--with desires that couldn't be satisfied<br />

The calendar, on your wall, is ticking the days off.<br />

The calendar on your wall is ticking the days off.<br />

You've been reading some old letters --<br />

You smile and think how much you've changed.<br />

All the money in the world --<br />

Couldn't bring back those days.<br />

You could've done anything -- if you'd wanted --<br />

And all your friends and family think that you're lucky.<br />

But the side of you they'll never see --<br />

Is when you're left alone with the memories --<br />

That hold your life together like --<br />
