I accept chaos, I'm not sure whether it accepts me.
And it's a hard, It's a hard, It's a hard, It's a hard, It's a hard rain gonna fall.
I'm sittin' on my watch so I can be on time.
In ceremonies of the horsemen, even the pawn must hold a grudge.

I've never been able to understand the seriousness of it all, the seriousness of pride. People talk, act, live as if they're never going to die. And what do they leave behind? Nothing. Nothing but a mask.
Every brain is civilized, Every nerve is analyzed, Everything is criticized when you are in need.

Sailin' 'round the world in a dirty gondola Oh, to be back in the land of Coca-Cola!
In the valley of the giants where the stars and stripes explode, the peaches they were sweet and the milk and honey flowed.
Dead man, dead man When will you arise? Cobwebs in your mind Dust upon your eyes
Let me feel your love one more time before I abandon it.
