Allergies to dust and grain

Still these allergies remain

My hand can't touch a guitar string

My fingers just burn and ache

My head intercedes with my bodily needs

And my body won't give it a break

My heart can stand a disaster

My heart can take a disgrace

But my heart is allergic

To the women I love

And it's changing the shape of my face

Allergies

Allergies

Something's living on my skin

Doctor please

Doctor please

Open up it's me again

I go to a famous physician

I sleep in the local hotel

From what I can see of the people like me

We get better

But we never get well

So I ask myself this question

It's a question I often repeat

Where do allergies go

When it's after a show

And they want to get something to eat?

Allergies

Allergies

Something's living on my skin

Doctor please

Doctor please

Open up it's me again

letra de Hearts And Bones
One and one-half wandering Jews

Free to wander wherever they choose

Are travelling together

In the Sangre de Cristo

The Blood of Christ Mountains

Of New Mexico

On the last leg of the journey

They started a long time ago

The arc of a love affair

Rainbows in the high desert air

Mountain passes slipping into stones

Hearts and bones

Hearts and bones

Hearts and bones

Thinking back to the season before

Looking back through the cracks in the door

Two people were married

The act was outrageous

The bride was contagious

She burned like a bride

These events may have had some effect

On the man with the girl by his side

The arc of a love affair

His hands rolling down her hair

Love like lightning shaking till it moans

Hearts and bones

Hearts and bones

Hearts and bones

And whoa whoa whoa

She said why?

Why don't we drive through the night

And we'll wake up down in Mexico

Oh I

I don't know nothin' about nothin'

About Mexico

And tell me why

Why won't you love me

For who I am

Where I am

He said:

'Cause that's not the way the world is baby

This is how I love you, baby

This is how I love you, baby

One and one-half wandering Jews

Returned to their natural coasts

To resume old acquaintances

Step out occasionally

And speculate who had been damaged the most

Easy time will determine if these consolations

Will be their reward

The arc of a love affair

Waiting to be restored

You take two bodies and you twirl them into one

Their hearts and their bones

And they won't come undone

Hearts and bones

Hearts and bones

Hearts and bones

Hearts and bones

letra de When Numbers Get Serious
I have a number in my head

Though I don't know why it's there

When numbers get serious

You see their shape everywhere

Dividing and multiplying

Exchanging with ease

When times are mysterious

Serious numbers are easy to please

Take my address

Take my phone

Call me if you can

Here's my address

Here's my phone

Please don't give it to some madman

Hey hey, whoa whoa

Complicated life

Numbers swirling thick and curious

You can cut them with a knife

You can cut them with a knife

Two times two is twenty-two

Four times four is forty-four

When numbers get serious

They leave a mark on your door

Urgent. Urgent.

A telephone is ringing in the hallways

When times are mysterious

Serious numbers will speak to us always

That is why a man with numbers

Can put your mind at ease

We've got numbers by the trillions

Here and overseas

Hey hey, whoa whoa

Look at the stink about Japan

All those numbers waiting patiently

Don't you understand?

Don't you understand?

So wrap me

Wrap me

Wrap me do

In the shelter of your arms

I am ever your volunteer

I won't do you any harm

I will love innumerably

You can count on my word

When times are mysterious

Serious numbers

Will always be heard

When times are mysterious

Serious numbers will always be heard

And after all is said and done

And the numbers all come home

The four rolls into three

The three turns into two

And the two becomes a

One

letra de Song About The Moon
If you want to write a song about the moon

Walk along the craters of the afternoon

When the shadows are deep

And the light is alien

And gravity leaps like a knife off the pavement

And you want to write a song about the moon

You want to write a spiritual tune

Then nah nah nah

Presto

Song about about the moon

If you want to write a song about the heart

Think about the moon before you start

Because the heart will howl

Like a dog in the moonlight

And the heart can explode

Like a pistol on a June night

So if you want to write a song about the heart

And its ever-longing for a counterpart

Write a song about the moon

The laughing boy

He laughed so hard

He fell down from his place

The laughing girl

She laughed so hard

The tears rolled down her face

Hey Songwriter

If you want to write a song about

A face

Think about a photograph

That you really can't remember

But you can't erase

Wash your hands in dreams and lightning

Cut off your hair

And whatever is frightening

If you want to write a song

About a face

If you want to write a song about

The human race

Write a song about the moon

If you want to write a song about the moon

You want to write a spiritual tune

THEN DO IT

Write a song about the moon

Train In The DistanceVer letra 5:11

letra de Train In The Distance
She was beautiful as Southern skies

The night he met her

She was married to someone

He was doggedly determined that he would get her

He was old, he was young

From time to time he'd tip his heart

But each time she withdrew

Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance

Everybody thinks it's true

Well eventually the boy and the girl get married

Sure enough they have a son

And though they both were occupied

With the child she carried

Disagreements had begun

And in a while they fell apart

It wasn't hard to do

Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance

Everybody thinks it's true

Two disappointed believers

Two people playing the game

Negotiations and love songs

Are often mistaken for one and the same

Now the man and the woman

Remain in contact

Let us say it's for the child

With disagreements about the meaning

Of a marriage contract

Conversations hard and wild

But from time to time

He makes her laugh

She cooks a meal or two

Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance

Everybody thinks it's true

Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance

Everybody thinks it's true

What is the point of this story

What information pertains

The thought that life could be better

Is woven indelibly

Into our hearts

And our brains

Cars Are CarsVer letra 3:15

letra de Cars Are Cars
Cars are cars

All over the world

Cars are cars

All over the world

Similarly made

Similarly sold

In a motorcade

Abandoned when they're old Cars are cars

All over the world

Cars are cars

All over the world

Cars are cars

All over the world

Engine in the front

Jack in the back

Wheels take the brunt

Pinion and a rack

Cars are cars

All over the world

Cars are cars

All over the world

But people are strangers

They change with the curve

From time zone to time zone

As we can observe

They shut down their borders - And think they're immune

They stand on their differences

And shoot at the moon

But cars are cars

All over the world

Cars are cars

All over the world

Drive 'em on the left

Drive 'em on the right

Susceptible to theft

In the middle of the night

Cars are cars

All over the world

Cars are cars

All over the world

I once had a car

That was more like a home

I lived in it, loved In It

Polished Its chrome

If some of my homes

Had been more

like my car

I probably wouldn't have

Travelled this far

Cars are cars

All over the world

Cars are cars

All over the world

Cars are cars' All over the world
