I changed the lock on my front door

So you can't see me anymore

And you can't come inside my house

And you can't lie down on my couch

I changed the lock on my front door I changed the number on my phone So you can't call me up at home And you can't say those things to me That make me fall down on my knees I changed the number on my phone I changed the kind of car I drive So you can't see me when I go by And you can't chase me up the street And you can't knock me off of my feet I changed the kind of car I drive I changed the kind of clothes I wear So you can't find me anywhere And you can't spot me in a crowd And you can't call my name out loud I changed the kind of clothes I wear I changed the tracks underneath the train So you can't find me again And you can't trace my path And you can't hear my laugh I changed the tracks underneath the train

When we slept together and the blue behind your eyelids
Am

Baby, sweet baby Traced your scent through the gloom, till I found these purple flowers I was spent, I was soon smelling you for hours Lavender, lotus blossoms too Water the dirt, flowers last for you Baby, sweet baby Tangerines and persimmons and sugarcane Grapes and honeydew melon, enough fit for a queen Lemon trees don't make a sound Till branches bend and fruit falls to the ground Baby, sweet baby
Harmonica over instrumental verse
Come to my world and witness the way things have changed 'Cause I finally did it, baby, I got out of La Grange Got in my Mercury and drove out west Pedal to the metal and my luck to the test Baby, sweet baby I been tryin' to enjoy all the fruits of my labor I been cryin' for you boy, but truth is my savior Baby, sweet baby if it's all the same Take the glory any day over the fame Baby, sweet baby
Repeat last verse

Get Right With God

I would risk the serpent's bite I would dance around with seven I would kiss the diamondback If I knew it would get me to heaven 'Cause I want to get right with God Yes, you know you got to get right with God I would burn soles of my feet Burn the palms of both my hands If I could learn and be complete If I could walk righteously again 'Cause I want to get right with God Yes, you know you got to get right with God I would sleep on a bed of nails Till my back was torn and bleeding In the deep darkness of hell The Damascus of my meeting 'Cause I want to get right with God Yes, you know you got to get right with God I asked God about his plan To save us all from Satan's slaughter If I give up one of my lambs Will you take me as one of your daughters 'Cause I want to get right with God Yes, you know you got to get right with God

Instrumental
Do I want too much? Am I going overboard to want that touch? I shouted out to the night "Give me what I deserve, 'cause it's my right" Shouldn't I have this Shouldn't I have this? Shouldn't I have all of this, and Passionate kisses Passionate kisses, whoa-oh-oh Passionate kisses From you Passionate kisses Passionate kisses, whoa-oh-oh Passionate kisses From you

World Without Tears

If we lived in a world without tears

How would broken find the bones? If we lived in a world without tears How would heartbeats know when to stop? How would blood know which body to flow outside of? How would bullets find the guns? If we lived in a world without tears How would misery know which back door to walk through? How would trouble know which mind to live inside of? How would sorrow find a home?
