I don't know why I even care, we get so high and get nowhere.
Why should I worry? Why should I care?There's just this street population, and I've got 'street savoir-faire'.
I definitely prefer being a lover than a fighter.
You may be right I may be crazy But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for.
Water has an endless horizon; there is no limitation when you look out into the water. There's nothing to interfere with the mind's eye projecting itself as far as it can possibly imagine. I suppose it's the same way people in the Midwest feel about watching amber waves of grain or endless rows of cornfields. There is something exhilarating about it.
When you look into my eyesAnd you see the crazy gypsy in my soulIt always comes as a surpriseWhen I feel my withered roots begin to growWell I never had a place that I could call my very ownThat's all right, my love, 'cause you're my home
You better believe there will be times in your life when you'll be feeling like a stumbling fool. So take it from me: you'll learn more from your accident than anything that you could ever learn in school.

We all have a face that we hide away forever,And we take them out and show ourselves when everyone has gone.Some are satin, some are steel, some are silk and some are leather.They're the faces of the stranger and we love to try them on.

Who was wrong? Who was right?It didn't matter in the thick of the fight...
We were sharp... as sharp as knives. And we were so gung-ho to lay down our lives...
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life Go ahead with your own life and leave me alone.
