1. _ Me
i am not the person who is singing
i am the silent one inside
i am not the one who laughs at people's jokes
i just pacify their egos
i am not my house or my car or my songs
they are only just stops along my way
i am like winter
i'm a dark cold female
with a golden ring of wisdom in my cave
CHORUS:
and it is me who is my enemy
me who beats me up
me who makes the monsters
me who strips my confidence
i am carrying my voice
i am carrying my heart
i am carrying my rhythm
i am carrying my prayers
but you can't kill my spirit
it's soaring and it's strong
like a mountain
i go on and on
but when my wings are folded
the brightly colored moth
blends into the dirt into the ground
chorus
and it's me who's too weak
and it's me who's too shy
to ask for the thing i love
and it's me who's too weak
and it's me who's too shy
to ask for the thing i love
that i love (6 times)
i am walking on the bridge
i am over the water
and i'm scared as hell
but i know there's something better
yes i know there's something
yes i know, i know, yes i know
that i love (5 times overlapping chorus)
but it's me
and it's me
but it's me (4 times)

2. _ Throwing Stones
so call me a bitch in heat and
i'll call you a liar
and we'll throw stones until we're dead
there you go again you cut me off from talkin'
you bask in the glory
the center of the circle
all the friends think you're a comedian
so kind and generous
and i am suffering
away from here
i wanna be
away from here
away from here
away from every little thing
every little thing
i used to love your every little every little thing
so call me a bitch in heat and
i'll call you a liar
and we'll throw stones until we're dead
you're the puppeteer and i'm the puppet
you manipulate me with your real catholic shit
everytime i try to talk it through
you turn it around and make it suffer
like david and goliath
away from here
i wanna be
away from here
away from here
away from every little thing
every little thing
i used to love your every little every little thing
now you call me a bitch in heat and
i'll call you a liar
and we'll throw stones until we're dead
your arms beneath me
your lying inside me
i used to love your every little every little thing
your eyes grew stars
your hand in my purse
and now i hate your every little everything all day
oh mama
i didn't know life was this hard
oh mama
my innocence has been tarred
my inner vision, dulled and darkened
i keep myself away to you
i fuck my sorrow humbly
and throw my crown upon the ground
it's you i hope for
and us i pray for
and me that i believed that was wrong
and now my anger is my best friend
be careful i may bite your head off
liar
so call me a bitch in heat and
i'll you a motherfucker
and we'll throw stones until we're dead
so call me a bitch in heat and
i'll you a motherfucker
and we'll throw stones until we're dead

4. _ Mississippi
i know i'm big and proud all over
not just on the stage
my secret self has many sides
that laugh and crush and sting
i'm red and thick like fire
i like it from behind
round to back
red to white
i'm pure inside and silent
CHORUS:
i'm alive
gotta piece of my heart
on the sole of your shoe
i've got a little bit of thunder
trapped inside of a cloud
the dog in you
spit me out into the mississippi
i know who can love my many selves
the wife the bitch the rapunzel
the one who cries
and calls for you
the one who is always alone
chorus
oh mississippi
come and wash my pain away
oh mississippi
come and take my pain away
i feel i'm drowning
i feel i'm drowning
i feel i'm
i feel i'm
dying

love, love
you make me feel like a sticky pistil

in a centerfold, the girl next door
and i would open the door and
i'd be all wet and
with my tits soaking through this tiny felt t-shirt
an I would pray that you would
open the door and tie me up to the bed

dead dead dead dead walking down to the road to dead (9 times)
welcome to the church of me
where they stand in a line ???
with water from my eyes
and a song for comfort
you say it's jesus christ

nails through me and
four through the heart

you walk the road to resurrection
and i walk the road to dead
and i'm giving you my devotion
but i walk the road to dead
i held you
i wrapped you in the heat of my hand
and prayed for us

as you walk away from my love

strength is threatening
i filled you will faith
and that filled me with pain
what the hell am i doing
falling in love with pain again and again and again and again

7. _ Tiger
where do i put this fire
this bright red feeling
this tiger lily down to mouth
he wants to grow to twenty feet tall
CHORUS:
i've left bethlehem
i feel free
i've left the girl i was supposed to be and
someday i'll be born
i'm so tired of being shy
i'm not that girl anymore
i'm not that straight A anymore
i want to sit with my legs wide open and
laugh so loud that the whole damn restaurant
will turn and look at me and say
look at the tiger jumping out of her mouth
chorus
no more sex-starved teachers
trying to touch my ass
i can finally be a teenager at age twenty-six
go to hell lions, tigers, and bears
i'm not afraid of you anymore
and my fear broke apart like fifty balloons
and i'm thrown around the room like party confetti now
chorus
someday i'll be born
someday someday someday i'll be born
someday someday someday i'll be born
high and noon (13 times)

how many times did
i have to hear you say to me
self obsessed artist
center of your universe
well i believed your every word
and i believed you were my god
CHORUS:
nietzche's eyes

my voice became too small

now that i step back to see
i haven't been me
and all my love

i'm shaken
i'm shaken
i'm getting down this fantasy
and i'm shaken

i'm getting down this

9. _ Hush Hush Hush
long white arms
losing their strength and form
sixty year man on twenty year old skin
skeleton your eyes have lost their warmth
look to your father for some support
CHORUS:
hush hush hush
says your daddy's touch
sleep sleep sleep
says the hundredth sheep
peace peace peace
may you go in peace
cruel joke you waited so long to show
the one that you wanted wasn't a girl
all your life you kept it hidden inside
now when you step
you stumble
you die
chorus
oh maybe next time
in the end you will be henry the VIII
wake up tomorrow
alexander the great
open your eyes in a
new life again
oh maybe next time
you'll be given a chance
hush hush hush
hush hush hush
hush hush hush
hush hush hush
hush...

10. _ I Don't Want to Wait
so open up your morning light
and say a little prayer for I
you know that if we are to stay alive
and see the peace in every I
she had two babies
one was six months one was three
in the war of '44
every telephone ring
every heartbeat stinging
when thought it was God calling her
oh would her son grow to know his father
CHORUS:
i don't want to wait
for our lives to be over
i want to know right know
what will it be
i don't want to wait
for our lives to be over
will it be yes or will it be
sorry
he showed up all wet
on the rainy front step
wearing shrapnel in his skin
and the war he saw
lives inside him still
it's so hard to be gentle and warm
the years passed by and now
he has a granddaughter
chorus
oh so you look at me
from across the room
you're wearing your anguish again
believe i know the feeling
it sucks you into the jaws of anger
oh, so dig a little more deeply into my life
all we have is the very moment
and i don't want to do what
his father and his father and his father did
i want to be here know
so open up your morning light
and say a little prayer for I
you know that if we are to stay alive
and see the peace in every I
chorus (2 times)
so open up your morning light
and say a little prayer for I
you know that if we are to stay alive
and see the love in every I

11. _ Where Have All The Cowboys Gone
Oh you get me ready in your 56 Chevy
Why don't we go sit down in the shade
Take shelter on my front porch
The dandy lion sun scorching,
Like a glass of cold lemonade
I will do laundry if you pay all the bills
CHORUS:
Where is my John Wayne
Where is my prairie son
Where is my happy ending
Where have all the Cowboys gone
Why don't you stay the evening
Kick back and watch the TV
And I'll fix a little something to eat
Oh I know your back hurts from working on the tractor
How do you take your coffee my sweet
I will raise the children if you pay all the bills
chorus
I am wearing my new dress tonight
But you don't even notice me
Say our goodbyes (3 times)
We finally sold the Chevy
When we had another baby
And you took that job in Tennessee
You made friends at the farm
And you joined them at the bar
Almost every single day of the week
I will wash the dishes while you go have a beer
Where is my John Wayne
Where is my prairie son
Where is my happy ending
Where have all the Cowboys gone
Where is my Marlboro Man
Where is his shiny gun
Where is my lonely ranger
Where have all the cowboys gone
Yippee Aw, Yippee Yea (3 times)
