  98 <pre class="verse">They say prayer has the power to heal, so pray for me, mother.
  99 In the human heart, an evil spirit will dwell.
 100 I am a-tryin' to love my neighbor and do good unto others,
 101 But oh mother things ain't goin' well.</pre>
 102
 103 <pre class="refrain">Ain't talkin', just walkin'
 104 I'll burn that bridge before you can cross.
 105 Heart burnin', still yearnin'
 106 There'll be no mercy for you once you've lost.

 108 <pre class="verse">Now I'm all worn down by weeping,
 109 My eyes are filled with tears, my lips are dry.
 110 If I catch my opponents ever sleeping,
 111 I'll just slaughter'em where they lie.</pre>
 112 <pre class="refrain">
 113 Ain't talkin', just walkin'
 114 Through the world mysterious and vague.
 115 Heart burnin', still yearnin'
 116 Walkin' through the cities of the plague.
 117 </pre>
 118 <pre class="verse">Well, the whole world is filled with speculation,
 119 The whole wide world which people say is round.
 120 They will tear your mind away from contemplation,
 121 They will jump on your misfortune when you're down.
 122 </pre>
 123 <pre class="refrain">
 124 Ain't talkin', just walkin'
 125 Eatin' hog-eyed grease in a hog-eyed town.
 126 Heart burnin', still yearnin'
 127 Some day you'll be glad to have me around.
 128 </pre>
 129 <pre class="verse">They will crush you with wealth and power
 130 Every waking moment you could crack.
 131 I'll make the most of one last extra hour,
 132 I'll avenge my father's death when I step back.</pre>
 133 <pre class="refrain">
 134 Ain't talkin', just walkin'
 135 Hand me down my walkin' cane.
 136 Heart burnin', still yearnin'
 137 Got to get you out of my miserable brain.
 138 </pre>
 139 <pre class="verse">All my loyal and my much-loved companions
 140 They approve of me and share my code
 141 I practice a faith that's been long abandoned
 142 Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road</pre>
 143 <pre class="refrain">
 144 Ain't talkin', just walkin'
 145 My mule is sick, my horse is blind.
 146 Heart burnin', still yearnin'
 147 Thinkin' 'bout that gal I left behind.
 148 </pre>
 149 <pre class="verse">Well, it's bright in the heavens and the wheels are flyin',
 150 Fame and honor never seem to fade.
 151 The fire gone out but the light is never dyin'.
 152 Who says I can't get heavenly aid'</pre>
 153 <pre class="refrain">
 154 Ain't talkin', just walkin'
 155 Carryin' a dead man's seal.
 156 Heart burnin', still yearnin'
 157 Walkin' with a toothache in my heel.
 158 </pre>
 159 <pre class="verse">The suffering is unending;
 160 Every nook and cranny has its tears.
 161 I'm not playing, I'm not pretending,
 162 I'm not nursing any superfluous fears.</pre>
 163 <pre class="refrain">
 164 Ain't talkin', just walkin'
 165 Walkin' ever since the other night.
 166 Heart burnin', still yearnin'
 167 Walkin' till I'm clean out of sight.
 168 </pre>
 169 <pre class="verse">As I walked out in the mystic garden
 170 On a hot summer day, a hot summer lawn.
 171 Excuse me, ma'am, I beg your pardon:
 172 There's no one here, the gardener is gone.</pre>
 173 <pre class="refrain">
 174 Ain't talkin', just walkin'
 175 Up the road, around the bend.
 176 Heart burnin', still yearnin'
 177 In the last outback at the world's end.
