"Park that car
Drop that phone
Sleep on the floor
Dream about me."

"There's no light in the tunnel, no irons in the fire:
Come on up to the house.
And you're singin' lead soprano in a junkman's choir:
Come on up to the house."

"All we have are our love and our guts, baby."

"Oh, my baby, when you're dying,
Believe the healing of His hand;
In heaven, we will wait for your arrival.
In heaven, you will finally understand."

"God, put down your gun can't you see we're dead?
God, put down your hand we're not listening."

"Make sure they play my theme song;
I guess daisies'll have to do.
Just get me to New Orleans and paint shadows on the pews.
Turn the spit on that hog;
Kick the drum and let me down.
Put my clarinet beneath your bed 'til I get back in town."

"The world has only one sweet moment set aside for us."

"I've seen your flag on the marble arch;
Love is not a victory march.
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah."

"I never said I was perfect,
But I can drive you home."

"In life, we toil;
In prayer, we're doomed.
White Lady of Sorrow,
Set me free."

"I know that we are made
Of the things we have lost here."

"I’m not a great man. I don’t claim to be.
But when I meet my Maker and He questions me,
I won’t hang my head. I’ll stand proud and strong
And say, I was a singer, Lord, I was a singer;
Yes, I was a singer of songs.”
