Generate meaning
1
Someone's got it in for me
2
They're planting stories in the press
3
Whoever it is I wish they'd cut it out
4
But when they will I can only guess
5
They say I shot a man named gray
6
And took his wife to Italy
7
She inherited a million bucks
8
And when she died it came to me, I can't help it if I'm lucky
9
People see me all the time
10
And they just cant remember how to act
11
Their minds are filled with big ideas
12
Images and distorted facts
13
Even you, yesterday
14
You had to ask me where it was at
15
I couldn't believe after all these years
16
You didn't know me better than that sweet lady
17
Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your mouth
18
Blowing down the back roads headin' south
19
Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth
20
You're an idiot, babe
21
It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe
22
I ran into the fortuneteller
23
Who said beware of lightning that might strike
24
I haven't known peace and quiet
25
For so long I can't remember what it's like
26
There's a lone soldier on the cross
27
Smoke pourin' out of a boxcar door
28
You didn't know it, you didn't think it could be done
29
In the final end he won the wars after losin' every battle
30
I woke up on the roadside
31
Daydreamin' 'bout the way things sometimes are
32
Visions of your chestnut mare shoot through my head
33
And are makin' me see stars
34
You hurt the ones that I love best
35
And cover up the truth with lies
36
One day you'll be in the ditch
37
Flies buzzin' around your eyes, blood on your saddle
38
Idiot wind, blowing through the flowers on your tomb
39
Blowing through the curtains in your room
40
Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth
41
You're an idiot, babe
42
It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe
43
It was gravity which pulled us down
44
And destiny which broke us apart
45
You tamed the lion in my cage
46
But it just wasn't enough to change my heart
47
Now everything's a little upside down
48
As a matter of fact the wheels have stopped
49
What's good is bad, what's bad is good
50
You'll find out when you reach the top, you're on the bottom
51
I noticed at the ceremony
52
Your corrupt ways had finally made you blind
53
I can't remember your face anymore
54
Your mouth has changed, your eyes don't look into mine
55
The priest wore black on the seventh day
56
And sat stone-faced while the building burned
57
I waited for you on the running boards
58
Near the cypress trees, while the springtime, turned slowly into autumn
59
Idiot wind, blowing like a circle around my skull
60
From the grand coulee dam to the capitol
61
Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth
62
You're an idiot, babe
63
It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe
64
I can't feel you anymore
65
I can't even touch the books you've read
66
Every time I crawl past your door
67
I been wishin' I was somebody else instead
68
Down the highway, down the tracks
69
Down the road to ecstasy
70
I followed you beneath the stars
71
Hounded by your memory and all your ragin' glory
72
I been double crossed now for the very last time
73
And now I'm finally free
74
I kissed goodbye the howling beast
75
On the borderline which separated you from me
76
You'll never know the hurt I suffered
77
Nor the pain I rise above
78
And I'll never know the same about you
79
Your holiness or your kind of love and it makes me feel so sorry
80
Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats
81
Blowing through the letters that we wrote
82
Idiot wind, blowing through the dust upon our shelves
83
Were idiots, babe
84
It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves
