1. _ Money
You see the big fat man with a skinny, skimpy blonde
Who lets him kiss her hand
Because he, ooh, breathes diamond rings when he sings
He talks like columbian coffee with cream
It's not, ooh, too, ooh, sweet
Money (x10) yeah
Money makes the world go round round round round
Bom de-dooble dooble bom.... etc.....
Doo bow mow
A blur of cheap hotel rooms and a vibrating bed
It's hot feelings, cold feet, hey, yo, gimme some
Head into the bathroom just to powder her nose
Clip her fingernails and paint her toes
And it's all, ooh, for, uuh, money
Money (x10) yeah
Money makes the world go round round round round bom de-dooble dooble
Bom.... etc.....(again, but different)
She used to be pretty with a real cute face
Dreams and morals and an eternal fireplace
Then in came the shadow man he blew out her light
And now there like so many her life is just a fight
[and now, like so many, there's just a little pilot light]
It's a fight for money
Money (x10) yeah
Money makes the world go rooouuuund
(vocal pains for a solo :)
You see the big fat man with a skinny, skimpy blonde
Who lets him kiss her hand
Because he, ooh, breathes diamond rings when he sings
He talks like columbian coffee with cream
It's not, ooh, too, ooh, sweet
Money (x10) yeah
Monet makes the world
Money (x10)
Money makes the world go rooooooouuuuuuund.

2. _ Intro
Intro (spoken as an intro to "i'm sensitive")
Okay, i gotta think about it. i was really bummed when i wrote this.
Because it's funny, when you grow up in a place like alaska it's so
Beautiful and it's really easy to have some faith, you know what i
Mean? and faith after all is what carries you through, like, the
Darkest of days. you just have to believe time will pass, somehow the
Tide will come back in and i won't feel so incredibly shitty tomorrow.
And it's hard 'cause like people lose faith, you know, when you're
Surrounded by crime and murder and pollution everyday. but it's really
What like makes everything okay. and i think if we could just be...
(jewel starts talking to an audience member)
Shut up i'm talking. that was obnoxious girl. i was kidding. god, i'm
Insulting people. (laughter)
So anyway i just thought maybe if we could be surrounded in beauty
We'd become what we see. 'cause all we're told in the news is how evil
We are and how racist we are and all these things.

4. _ Jessica
He used to walk with jessica
Down to the diner
They'd sit and talk for hours
About nothin' in particular
Just bullshit the time away
That's what she used to say
She'd wrinkle her nose when she said it
That's how you know she meant it
Jessica
Jessica
She'd call him at nine a.m.
To see how sleep had been treatin' him
And though they were never lovers
They were soulmates under cover
They'd drink beer and sit around
Or just sit still and not make a sound
And he would shudder to think
Of what life would be like
Without his best friend -slash- shrink
Jessica
Bridge:
She's an angel at his table
Forced to feel but not to see
Blinded by her absence
Haunted by her memory
If only you were able to see the angel at your table
He got a phone call
From her mother
He said, "yeah, right stop kidding around."
He felt his heart fall to the ground
Since then everyday
Seems to feel like winter
Everything is colorless
As he can't see it with her
Jessica
Jessica
He could easily have been with her
Driving home in the car
It was her birthday
It's sick how things work out that way
Now at night when he sleeps
A watch over him she keeps
She whispers in his ear
For his heart to hear
Jessica
Jessica
It's amazing how a soul can leave
Suddenly from a body
Rendering it useless
And stealing its desire to breathe
One moment here then gone
With no forwarding address
Love no longer has a house
Residence in flesh
Religion without a temple
No place to take your worship to
No god for the eyes to see
No fruit to lay at the feet
Of jessica
Jessica
If only you were able to see
The angel at your table
Then you'd understand why
You never got to say goodbye
To jessica
There's no such word as goodbye
For jessica
She's always standing by
Jessica

5. _ Stranger Enter From The East
I went out a-wandering
Beneath an unknown sky
The heavens all shook violently
You caught my eye
A strange fruit fell
And struck me to the core
My heart became a single flame
It wanted nothing more
Stranger, enter from the east
Stranger, step inside this place
And hold me..........hold me
The clock became a bullet hole
Cruel and unkind
It hurt me with its second hand
Alone another night
Stranger, enter from the east
Stranger, step inside this place
Blue.....is that you?
Well, don't bother knocking on my door this time
Blue.....
Go be true for someone else
There's no room inside this heart of mine
My heart has four empty rooms
Three wait for lightning and one waits for you
I must have you all to myself
Feel the full weight of your skin
I'll hollow out my insides
To place you in
Stranger, enter from the east
Stranger, step inside this place
And hold me.......hold me
Hold me

6. _ V-12 Cadillac
He's lonely and he cruises real low
That's my v-12 cadillac
You know he's on the go
On down to the ocean
Surfboard by my side
He's my v-12 cadillac
With delux power glide
I check the ocean, yeah
>from atop of the hill
We're going surfing
In my coup de ville
I pull out on the freeway
I put my caddy in low
Then this real cute guy passed me
But my horn just wouldn't blow
So i pulled up beside him
Looked over real cool
Then he rolled down his window and he said,
"hey baby, your caddy's a jewel."
I check the ocean, yeah
>from atop of the hill
We're going surfing
In my coup de ville
He's lonely and cruises real low
That's my v-12 cadillac
You know he's on the go
On down to the ocean
And my surfboard's by my side
It's my v-12 cadillac
With delux power glide
I check the ocean
>from the hill
We're going surfing
In my coup de ville
(come on baby)
"hey nice board, you surf?"
"gimme a four foot wall and a good shoulder."
"are you any good?"
"oh honey, you don't know how good."
We're going surfing
In my coup de ville
(come on)

7. _ Yo
* jewel and atz together
A little yodeling song
For my man yo
And i know that yo don't know
That i wrote this song a late one night
He'd heard me yodeling down at hobo gin's
And we were hanging out at the putter inn
He was beggin me to yodel
And oh yo he wasn't half the type
He held out his hand
I said "what's your name?"
And he said "yo"
So i asked him again
And he said "yo" again
So i figured it must be his name
Well i was having some perculiar thoughts
But you can't say much with a name like atz
So i settled back
Tried to figure out yo-yo's game
Now yo was sailin three sheets of the wind
With a frozen stare
And an ear-to-ear grin
He kept beggin me to yodel, sayin
"g-gget up there and yodel with the band"
It was my good friend rod with a hired gun
So i stepped up to have a little bit of fun
With the lead, and the bass and the drummer and the rhythm man
Now yo he staggered right up to the stage
He had this angelic smile on his face
That sucker looked like he floated up to heaven and he died
While i never had a fan quite like yo before
He stood there mesmerized on the floor
He started stompin and clappin when he heard my yodeling cry
(chorus)
And i said
*yo this yodeling song's for you
No matter where you go
No matter what you do
Remember that time spent yodeling's time well spent
I've never had myself a fan club before
But yo don't you know that one thing's for sure
If i do i'll make you my fan club president
And i said
*(yodel)
Well when i got through
I said "there you go yo"
And he was still smiling but his eyes were still closed
And i thought i was going to get away from him
But then he opened them wide and said
"i-ii want to hear some more"
Well i was wearing out my welcome and i was running out of time
But i decided that i'd yodel up another line
Cause i thought it was the only way i could get yo off the floor
Then i got to thinking
I realized
Suddenly i realized
Why old yo liked yodeling
Because everytime i yodeled i was saying yo's name
Well then i got to thinking it probably wouldn't work too well
In fact it downright sounds like hell
If you ever try to yodel using anybody elses name
Try inga
*inga-lay (etc.)
See what i mean it just doesn't work
So in this whole wide world
No matter where i go
One thing i've learned
I've finally know
I'll never yodel again if there's anyone in the audience named yo
And i said
*yo this yodeling song's for you
No matter where you go
No matter what you do
Remember that time spent yodeling's time well spent
I've never had myself a fan club before
But yo don't you know that one thing's for sure
If i do i'll make you my fan club president
And i said
*(yodel)

8. _ Fragile Heart
You better take your watch off
When around large machinery
You better hide your wallet
If you plan to sleep with theives
Don't forget your bullet-proof vest
The next time you pick a fight with a guard
And if you work with unstable objects
Wear a hat that's hard
Chorus
It's simple tips like these
That keep you safe from injuries
The surgeon general should do his part:
Warning, beware, be careful - fragile heart
Take out your contact lenses
If you drive through a dust storm
Look both ways before crossing
The freeway of any legal form
Take off your antique jewelry
The next time you jump into a chlorinated pool
And don't forget, build a fence around your heart
The next time you give it to a fool
Chorus
Take your socks off the heater, man
You know they're gonna get burned
Don't lend out your favourite pair of pliers
Unless you're sure they'll get returned
You would not give a shiny medal
To someone who don't work for it
So do not give of yourself
To one who won't adore it
Chorus

9. _ You're So Small
"i went to school here in michigan at a place
Called interlochen, and, uh, there's a lot of dancers there.
About 60% of the dancers were either anorexic or bulemic.
And i often blamed it on their boyfriends.
So i wrote this about that.
I didn't agree with that, by the way."
Gonna walk down the street
And seduce every man i meet
Because i'm having a bad day.
I am
Not size six.
My legs are not
Skinny as sticks
And dammit, someone's got to pay.
(that's the power of a woman, ohhhh)
I feel unattractive.
I'm gonna see if it's true.
I'm going to break a heart or maybe two.
I'm gonna put on a sexy red thing
Gonna run very late
I'm gonna pull some strings
Cause my strength is in my
Power over you.
(the power of a woman)
But i'm afraid that i can't satisfy myself
And that my happiness depends on someone else.
I feel weak, so you're gonna take the fall.
You're so small, you're so small, you're so small.
You're so small, i feel fat, you're so small.
You're so small, i don't feel anything, cuz you're so small.

10. _ Emily
woke up to find
I lost my mind
Lost heart, lost nerve
I lost my favourite word -
Emily
I take my cigarettes
I give 'em a smoke
Oh god
My heart feels froze
I've lost something it seems
I've misplaced my favourite thing -
Emily
Chorus
Where does love go
If it can't find a home
One moment here then gone
With no forwarding address
Love no longer has a house
Or residence in flesh
Take the keys
I get in the car
To out run this
Man i'd have to go real far
Where mercy wears lace
And bottles are thieves
Which of these took you from me?
Emily
I face myself
But there's this draft inside
Parts of me drowned
In perpetual tide
I wanna call names
I wanna throw things around
But no bar can buy
Forgiveness another round for
Emily
Chorus
I go to the bedroom
Turn on the light
It's like an empty altar
No angel in sight
Religion with no temple
No place to take my worship to
No god for my eyes to see
No fruit to lay at the feet of
Emily
Gone
Gone

11. _ My Fish Family
There's a man on the front porch
Says he's related to me
But lately i'm finding
It hard to believe
This house is filled with
Spooks and ghosts
They say they're family
But they are strangers at most
They're strange fishes of the deep blue sea
And absolutely nothing like me
They swim around their little treasure chests
When it comes to loving me they give it their fish best
But it's hard with all those scales
Of good and bad you see (2nd time: of morality)
They're my fish family
My fish family
They may try and hook me
Or put me in a tank
They may try and book me
For robbing a fish bank
'cause misunderstanding comes easily
But they're blowing bubbles
And i can hardly breathe
And when will they understand
I just wanna marry a man
Without seaweed in his teeth,
Without barnacle for hair
Without seaweed in his ears
But their fish ears won't hear me
They're my fish family
They're strange fishes of the deep blue sea
And absolutely nothing like me
They swim around their little treasure chests
When it comes to loving me they give it their fish best
But it's hard with all those scales of morality
They're my fish family
My fish family.

12. _ You Make Lovin' Fun
Sweet wonderful you,
You make me happy with the things you do,
Oh, can it be so,
This feeling follows me wherever i go.
I never did believe in miracles,
But i've a feeling it's time to try.
I never did believe in the ways of magic,
But i'm beginning to wonder why.
Don't, don't break the spell,
It would be different and you know it will,
You, you make loving fun,
And i don't have to tell you you're the only one.
You make loving fun.
You make loving fun.

13. _ Can't Take My Soul
The weathers getting cold
But its ninety degrees outside
It feels like i'm driving so slow
But this old ford is cruising ninety-five
I thought i could hear your cold words
After all, they were just words
I thought i could see your sad eyes
After all, eyes won't lie
I thought that i could just take this hatred in
Let it back out and see love again
But know i'm giving up
But i'm never giving in
So you can take my life
And you can keep this heart
But you never can take my soul
No never can take my soul
It feels so good like i'm laughing
But theres these tears running down my face
I dry my eyes to see the sun rise
Only to find its set, its too late
So i sit there and listen to you scream
After all, i never would
But i cry before i go to sleep
After all, i knew i wasn't what i should be
I thought that i should just take this hatred in
Let it back out and see love again
But now i'm giving up
But i'm never giving in
So you can take my life
You can keep this heart
But you never can take my soul
No never can take my soul
I tried to say goodbye yesterday
But we ended up in bed instead
*(i don't understand this entire line)
But i couldn't, had to turn away, turn my head
Give me the strength to let you go
After all, i never could
*(i don't understand this entire line)
After all, i knew i wasn't what i should be
I thought that i should just take this hatred in
Let it back out and see love again
But know i'm giving up
But i'm never giving in
You can take my life, you can have this heart
*(don't understand this entire line)
You can have all my hands, my feet and my head
And all of those good things i did everywhere
But you never can take my soul
You'd think that you could posses
All of my looks, all of my prettiness
All of my feelings and my lovings too
But don't you know that you were the fool
But you never can take my soul
No never can take...
Can't take my soul.

14. _ 1,000 Miles Away
It's morning time, wonder where you are
Wonder who you're talking to
Wonder if the sun has risen where you are
It's morning time, i miss your hands on my skin
This bed's too big without you
Oh god, what do i do?
I'm a thousand miles away, and i'm lying next to you.
The sun shines golden, and i feel like my car
A little run down, a little beat up, maybe just a little green
Maybe it's my battery, maybe it's my starter,
Maybe my heart's too weak
There's just this feeling, thought i had to get going
Got too scary, got too big, got to get out of here
But now i don't know how to get home.
Oh god, what do i do?
I'm a thousand miles away, and lying next to you.
Mama says take my vitamins,
Daddy says "girl, don't stay out so late"
Sister says "there's other fishes in the sea"
But love is not a rational thing, and my heart is beyond advice
No, love is not a rational thing
Oh god, what do i do?
I'm a thousand miles away, and lying next to you.
These fields stretch out like patchwork, on my granny's quilt
She used to tell me that
"life is a series of strange and mysterious things
One minute you think you're up, the next you find you're down"
Your mind says "girl, you gotta stick around"
But your heart says "i'm too weak in the knees"
Oh god, what do i do?
I'm a thousand miles away, and lying next to you.

15. _ Billy
I know little billy from the small time town
Ma and pa meant well but they just weren't around
But he would learn what little they had taught
They told him, heaven is hard but hell is not
He remembers papa's words before he died
He said, word hard son, you must change the tide
Before our people have liberation, you can never rest
On your shoulders, lies our future boy, so do your best
Do more than your best
Never forgot the burden of his father's words
He lost his own life and lived the world's
No one told billy theres somethings one man just can't do
Takes time to forgive and equality to take more before it's through
Just takes time
But still billy went down to the big time town
Hoping to find some justice there,
But god how it all seems cynical through the eyes of despair
He no longer saw in color, he only saw black and white
There were never people behind thses faces
Until he realized one man can't win
Can't win this fight
So billy went back to small time town
He got a life and he settled down
He teaches children who never really thought
He told them, heaven is hard and hell is
Heaven is hard and hell is
Hell is not worth fighting for.

16. _ Impala
I love girl girl love me
It not all it cracked up to be
Soda pop radio on
Dedicate my girl a song
Gone are days of simple things
Got to buy baby diamond rings
Keep it simple just dont brag
Got to be high speed low drag
In the impala of my love (doo wop doo wop)
Baby of my love (doo wop doo wop)
Baby of my love (doo wop doo wop)
Baby of my love
Coffee pot is so bilingual
Self help books on being single
Everything today is so hi tech
Why cant we just park by the lake and neck
In the impala of my love (doo wop doo wop)
Baby of my love (doo wop doo wop)
Baby of my love (doo wop doo wop)
Baby of my love
Love in the 20th century is
Such confusion such mystery
Where's my modem
Where's my mother
Fax incoming
Oh brother
Stars are out you look fine
Empty clothes empty bottle of wine
You got nice jambes thats french for legs
Lets cook in the back like a couple poached eggs
In the impala of my love (doo wop doo wop)
Baby of my love (doo wop doo wop)
Baby of my love (doo wop doo wop)
Baby of my love

17. _ Let It Rip, Let It Fly (aka Barcelona)
Barselona
Where the winds all blew
The churches don't have windows
But the graveyards do
Me & my shadow are fighting again
Look out stranger!
There's a dark cloud moving in
But if you could hear the voice in my heart
It would tell you
I'm afraid that i'm alone
Hold me, release me
Show me the meaning of mercy
Let it rip
Let it fly.......
Super paranoid
I'm leaning, i'm blending
I'm bleeding into the scenery
Why is it that loving someone else is easier?
I hold myself hostage in the mirror
But if you could hear the voice in my heart
It would tell you
I think i'm too far from home
Hold me, release me
Show me the meaning of mercy
Let it rip
Let it fly......
I won't be held back
I won't be held down
I won't quit listening, no matter what they say
It's just this last stamp between me & my shadow
But we are at union and all the way
Going all the way
Take a leap of faith
The red light haunts me
But no more!
I won't go down that avenue
But if you could hear the voice in my heart
It would tell you
I'm tired of secrets
I'm tired of feeling this way
Won't you please hold me
Release me
Show me the meaning of mercy
Let it rip
Let it fly......

18. _ Little Bird Song
There's a little bird
Somebody sent down to earth
To live along the wind
Blowing on the wind
And she sleeps on the wind
This little bird, somebody sent
Light and fragile
And feathered sky blue
Thin and graceful
The sun shining through
She flies so high up in the sky
Way out of reach of human eyes
Light and fragile
And feathered sky blue
Thin and graceful
The sun shining through
She flies so high up in the sky
Way out of reach of human eyes
Light and fragile
And feathered sky blue
Thin and graceful
The sun shining through
And the only time that she touches ground
Is when that little bird, little bird
Is when that little bird, little bird
Is when that little bird, little bird
Is when that little bird dies

19. _ Quiet Warrior
Standing in a circle the wolves have come
But they won't bother her, no
'cause dancing with her hands of leaves she'll sing for them
And ease their hungerin'
She's a quiet warrior.
Standing at the ocean's stoney shores
The waves all worship her
She stands in trust and lets the night swallow her
Because she knows that she's a piece of the sun
And a quiet warrior.
You ask her where from the wind blows
She'll say it's how the sky sings
And you ask her how does the sun rise
She'll say 'cause you desire it to be seen
And you ask her how does she make your heart fly
And she'll tell you, you know why
She's your quiet warrior.
Ravens they rest on his golden crown
And steal your soul
He smiles and it feels like you've known him
Yes it feels like coming home
He's a quiet warrior.
And roaring silently he's a lion
And he'll hunt for you
His eyes are warm because his hands they are made of light
And they seduce your soul
He's a quiet warrior.
You ask him where from the wind blows
He says that the earth breathes
And you ask him how does the sun rise
He'll say that she's got wings
And you ask him how does he make your heart fly
And he'll tell you, you know why
He's your quiet warrior.

20. _ I've Got The Blues More Than You Do Blues
Grew up in the mississippi delta
In a shotgun shack
Washboard for my pillow
'til the tax man took that back
Moved out on my own
I was just eight years old ... top that
You think you got the blues
Look at my life
I've got the blues more than you do ... blues
When i was an itty-bitty baby
I was my mama's only surviving son
She used my head as a washrag
I thought it was fun
Walked to school upway both ways
With no legs ... top that
You think you got the blues
Look at my life
I've got the blues more than you do ... blues
Got so drunk the other night i couldn't find my way home
Had to have a blind man show me
When i finally did get there,
My own dog had disowned me
A womam in a bar just looks at me and coughed and said
"i don't even know you, but i wish you'd die off" ... top that
You think you got the blues
Look at my life
I've got the blues more than you do ... blues

22. _ My Own Private God's Gift To Women
Would you like to ram your tongue down my throat
Would you like to grab my thighs
Yes, i have got nice tits
They are the perfect grab me size
I'm just a nice girl
Thought i had everything
Until you flashed me
And i saw what i've been missing
I've been saving myself my whole life
For some slimeball like you to come along
I am so desperate
I'll do you and your mom
I get this tiny little boost of adrenaline
When i think about what i've been given
My own private god's gift to women
My own private god's gift to women
My own private god's gift to women
Yeah, yeah
I was just thinking that it'd really turn me on
If some guy would drive by and show me his tongue
I was just thinking that it'd really make my day
If he offered me a place to stay with pay
I'm just a nice girl
Thought i had everything
Until you flashed me
And i saw what i've been missing
I've been saving myself my whole life
For some sketcher like you to come along
I am so desperate
I'll do you on the front lawn
I get this tiny little boost of adrenaline
When i think about what i've been given
My own private god's gift to women
My own private god's gift to women
My own private god's gift to women
Yeah, yeah
I was just thinking that it'd be really cool
If i got hit up side the head with a manly tool
That way he could have nothing left to say
And have his way with me all day
Cuz i'm just a nice girl
Thought i had everything
Until you flashed me
And i saw what i've been missing
I've been saving myself my whole life
For some motherfucker like you to come along
I am so desperate
I am writing you this song
And you're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
I get this tiny little boost of adrenaline
When i think about what i've been given
My own private god's gift to women
My own private god's gift to women
My own private god's gift to women

23. _ Let Them In
[edwin]
Let them in, peter
For they are very tight
Give them couches where the angels sleep
And let those free
Let them wake up whole again
To brand new dreams
And fired by the sun
Not wartimes bloody guns
And may their peace be deep
Remember where the broken bodies lie
God knows how young they were to have to die
Well, god knows how young they were to have to die
[jewel]
Give them things they like
Let them make some noise
Give (??) armbands and golden harps to these old boys
Let them love, peter
For they've had no time
They should have birds, songs, and trees
And hills to climb
The task of summer
In a ripened pear
And girls as sweet as meadow wind with flowing hair
And tell them how they are missed
But say not to fear
It's gonna be all right with us down here
It's gonna be all right with us down here
[edwin & jewel]
Let them in, peter
For they are very tight
Give them couches where the angels sleep
And let those free
Let them wake up whole again
To brand new dreams
And fired by the sun
Not wartimes bloody guns
And may their peace be deep
Remember where the broken bodies lie
God knows how young they were to have to die
And tell them how they are missed
But say not to fear
It's gonna be all right with us down here
It's gonna be all right with us down here

24. _ Nikos
She lived in a trailer out eastern road
Her loneliness was a disease
But my daddy couldn't see it though
Her name was linda her smile was forced
And folks 'round town say she dressed like a divorce
My daddy had a son by her
'though she wasn't supposed to be able
I was eight years old when they told me 'round the table
I looked at my daddy, he looked to the ground
I guessed that we'd be stickin' round ahwile
Might as well smile cause there's no point in being mean
I guess that's just what you get when you forget to dream
Got called to the principal's office
Did i do something wrong?
Doctor on the telephone said,
"congratulations, you've got a baby brother born."
Got sent to a psychiatrist in case i resented their child.
I was bitter in my anguish but my manner was mild.
My daddy got excommunicated from the mormon church.
Guess an illegitimate son in god's eye has no worth
He tried to stick around but he flew the coop in spring.
He loved that baby just not linda it seemed
But still i know we'd be stickin' round awhile
Might as well smile cause there's no point in bein' mean.
I guess that's just what you get when you forget to dream.
So linda got remarried now my brother called that new man "dad"
But it didn't last long i hear his temper was bad
So she said that we could see him on every other saturday.
We all were shocked when he called my daddy "uncle"
She said it was better that way.
They tried to get back together but it was off and on
One day she disappeared, i hear to oregon.
I haven't seen him since. i guess i'm supposed to forget.
That he was my brother too and not just their legal mess
I thought that we'd be stickin' 'round awhile
Might as well smile 'cause there's no point in bein' mean.
I guess that's just what you get when you forget to dream.
This song is for nikos wherever you may be
I know things were tough but you're okay by me
And your momma ain't a bad person, my daddy's ain't no fool
Sometimes parents just need forgiving too.
Ps, i love you, your sister jewel.
Ps, i love you, your sister jewel.

25. _ What Matters Is The Heart
did you forget about the passion
Of living day to day
We keep our dreams locked down inside
And choking on a lifetime
And never take a chance
Wake up one day wishing you tried
And it ain't about the money
It ain't about the time
It ain't about the love you lost
Or the things you think you left behind
And it ain't about your losing streak
Makes you feel like you're falling apart
What matters is the heart
Lets forget about the notion
That we're not the same
My blood runs as red as yours
We all get angry
We've all been scared
We've all made big mistakes
That can never be repaired
And it ain't about the money
It ain't about the time
It ain't about the love you lost
Or the things you think you left behind
It ain't about your losing streak
Makes you feel like you're falling apart
What matters is the heart
Look me in the eye
Take my hand
We can make a difference
We can make a difference
I know we can
If we forgot about the passion
Living day to day
We kept our dreams locked down inside
And choking on a life time
And never take a chance
Wake up one day wishing you tried
It ain't about the money
It ain't about the time
It ain't about the love you lost
Or the things you think you left behind
It ain't about your losing streak
Makes you feel like you're falling apart
What matters is the heart
And it ain't about the money
It ain't about the time
It ain't about the love you lost
Or the things you think you left behind
It ain't about your losing streak
Makes you feel like you're falling apart
What matters is the heart

I'm just a simple girl
In a high tech digital world
I really try to understand
All the powers that rule this land
They say Miss J's big butt is boss
Kate Moss can't find a job
In a world of post modern fad
What was good now is bad
It's not hard to understand
Just follow this simple plan
Follow your heart
Your intuition
It will lead you in the right direction
Let go of your mind
Your intuition
It's easy to find
Just follow your heart baby

You look at me
But you're not quite sure
Am I it or could you get more?
You learn cool from magazines
You learn love from Charlie Sheen
If you want me let me know
I promise i won't say no
Follow your heart
Your intuition
It will lead you in the right direction
Let go of your mind
Your intuition
It's easy to find
Just follow your heart baby
You got something that you want me to sell
Sell your sin
Just cash in
You got something that you want me to tell
You'll love me
Wait and see
If you want me
Don't play games
I promise
It won't be in vain
Uh-uh-uh
Follow your heart

It will lead you in the right direction
Let go of your mind

Just follow your heart baby
Just follow your heart

It will lead you in the right direction

27. _ If This Is What Love Is
Somewhere between right and wrong is a love song
Its tongue hits the target but its phone number is always wrong
It speaks through calluses of gentler things
It speaks of kindness
But i don't think you know what that word means
Your love is a bitter seed that only the blind can see
If this is what love is
Then i guess there's no love song left in me
Somewhere between right and wrong is reality
Justice and shame speak foolishly of impractical things
Your kisses are as kind as candles
Your hands are as giving as stone
Your mind is kind as hitler's until night leaves you feeling alone
Your love is something i must do but never be
If this is what love is
Then i guess there's no love song left in me
I didn't mean to fall into darkness
It's just that i trip in the lights
Cause aw man it's hard to see that clearly and not put up a fight
But i knew ithen would break and not bend
Just look at this trouble i'm in
I need to realize
This is how the unhappy half dies
Somewhere between good and bad is every lie i have ever been told
They all come down but good deeds don't count it's what cards you hold
But i'm tired of your grey laughter
I am tired of your hungry eyes
This love is so rotten
It's startin' to attract flies
Your love is something that must do but never be
Its blade is made of jealousy and insecurity
Your love is a bitter seed that only the blind can see
If this is what love is
If this is what love is
Then i guess there's no love song left in me.

28. _ Breaking Up
Do not think it hurts me bad
It doesn't hurt me none
It does not mean anything
I'm fondling this gun
And i don't hurt that bad
And i don't miss you
I don't eat alone
Wishing i was eating with two
It's like a sad movie
They always get high ratings
In fact i feel like celebrating
I feel like celebrating
And do not think i ever thought that
This would really work
It was just sort of a casual thing
Like trying on a shirt
I don't sit home slone and stare
At your picture wishing that
You were still there
I never get lonely
In fact i'm probably masturbating
In fact i feel like celebrating
I feel like celebrating
Oh goody! oh joy!
I'm finally free
I no longer have to sit through
Your mother's casserole recipes
Oh joy! glee!
I'm finally free

29. _ Buttercup
Gee your mom looked like shit last night
Hope that tinker toy boyfriend tonks her right
Then again, i could never tell a fist fight from fun
Maybe i've never really known anyone
Just sat still and spit in the fire
I thought i might strangle you but i couldn't find a wire
You've never been the type to make your heart clear
Lest someone overhear
Words drown in your martini glass
Entire sentences slowly drunk or not
But before they slipped away i swore i coulda heard
Them say you wanted me, to be your buttercup
Say you need me to be your buttercup
The party reached a feverish pitch
Good time soldiers drunk and in a ditch
Infidelity a bomb that went off
That left the world to swerve and cough
Stepped over bodies strewn like shipwrecks
Love's last call, warning puke reflex
Faith is for that frozen few
That never met someone quite like you
Words drown in your martini glass
Entire sentences slowly drunk or not
But before they slipped away i swore i coulda heard
Them say you wanted me, to be your buttercup
Say you need me to be your buttercup
Fish don't know they're short, they just feel sideways
And words to you are just the same, they shy away
When legs and limbs are all tucked in
You pull me close to you come night
And i just like a fleshy fruit and hung from the bowl of your side
Your lips may not sell or say
What your eyes give away
You're sweet as pumpkin pie
I take the keys from your hand that stutters up
Let the night air sober you up
Driving home, you make me pull over
You press my hand gently as a four leaf clover
You say sweetheart, i'm a foolish man
I'm ornry and i'm stubborn like my coffee from a can
But without you i would shrivel up and die
Won't you be my
Won't you be my
Won't you be my
Words drown in your martini glass
Entire sentences slowly drunk or not
But before they slipped away i swore i coulda heard
Them say you wanted me, to be your buttercup
Say you need me to be your buttercup
Buttercup, your buttercup, ducks, shnucks, shlucks, shucks

30. _ Down
Take me down to the water
Where the cold wind blows
Take me out to the wildlife, baby
The red light meets the crossbow
I will take you there, i will take you there........ down
The exit sign always leads to the west
Bar stools begin to cry
Jupiter looks for a cosmic sign
Still you wonder why
I will take you there, will you take me there?........ down
Underneath the twilight
Stars begin to sigh.....still you wonder why
You can't think of any words to say (note: this line changes almost every
Night)
Take me out to the strawberry fields
The sun drips like honey through my hair
Let the warm lights fill me up
L.a. or anywhere
I will take you there, i will take you there........ down

32. _ I Thought I Saw You Last Night
I'm not easily scared by things that go bump in the night
Theres not many things that give me a fright
I can walk down a lonely block
And not alot can make my old knees knock
But theres one thing that scares me the most
Its when i think i see a ghost
And i thought i saw you last night
Ive been lately thinking about oujia board
And maybe contacting souls seated by the lord
Cause all the shadows on my street
Bring the sounds of shuffeling feet
But theres one thing that scares me the most
Its when i think i see a ghost
And i thought i saw you last night
Threw salt over my shoulder
I knocked on wood
Dont step on cracks
But it does no good
I drink bourbon to calm my nerves
Read an old book and chant some verse
Hold hot coals in the middle of my fists
Take advice from my exorcist
Hallelujah hail mary
Holy moly this is scary
For instance last night i went to a scary movie
And i tried real hard not to let it get to me
But i just kept looking over my shoulder
The wind got hands and i got colder
But theres one thing that scares me the most
Its when i think i see a ghost
And i thought i saw you last night
I'm not easily scared by things that go bump in the night

33. _ Flower
She dreams of the country
Her eyes go far away.
She wishes for flowers
He says, "perhaps in may."
The city always was gray
The reflections of his eyes.
And she knows he liked it that way
And that way he shall die, well...
She's always known,
That there was something more.
There's this hunger in her belly
Like an instinct it tells her that there's something more.
This living shouldn't be called living
'cause it's really only half a life.
She's a flower that grows despite cement holes
And she will survive, she will survive.
She's a rare breed with violet eyes
And leafy limbs.
In conversations she looks for cracks
To dig her roots deep in.
And her ways come up like daisies,
She pushes her head to the sun.
She says "i am content here to grow
Despite the steel frost that consumes everyone."
She's always known,
That there was something more.
There's this hunger in her belly
Like an instinct it tells her that there's something more.
This living shouldn't be called living
'cause it's really only half a life.
She's a flower that grows despite cement holes.
And she will survive, she will survive.
In the end these steel cages will consume us
And like coffins ignorance will take us in and
Fashion don't mean anything
'cause fashion cannot be our friends.
And when all else fades away
And the city falls into its sleep.
We'll still have flesh, blood, bones and
Our soul to deal with so we should
Dig our roots deep.
Always known,
That there's something more.
There's this hunger in our bellies
It's like an instinct it tells us that there's something more.
This living shouldn't be called living
'cause it's really only half a life.
She's a flower that grows despite cement holes.
And we will survive, we will survive, we will survive, we will
Survive.

34. _ The Man Who's Already Gone
There's a man gonna have you if he can
But he don't want to (wait, he's gone home)?
Passion in his hands, the desires of a man
Strung by the laces of his shoes
And tuesday's another town
And wednesday's hanging round
But thursday don't want to see him anymore
Cause he can hold you
He can love you
But he won't be thinkin of you
He's the man who's already gone
There's a man gonna love you if he can
But he don't know which way he's gonna roam/run
Daddy said go ahead, he said well you never can tell
Which way the wind is gonna blow
Because hearts may come and hearts may go
But you can't follow scent? if it's cold
Cause he can hold you he can haunt you
But he won't be thinking of you
Cause he's the man who's already gone
Don't roam
It's a long road
It's a long road with no place to go
There's a man gonna have you if he can
But he don't know which way he's gonna roam.

35. _ Angel Needs A Ride
Said, "angel, do you want a ride?"
Said, "angel, i'm tired and i'm lonely
And i need somebody by my side"
It's a long road that stretched from vegas to nowhere
But it'd been an even longer time
Since he found some piece of mind
And he lived off of bubblegum and cigarettes
And got his nourishment from all-night stores
Thought he'd just keep driving
Til he outdrove his sorrow
He said, "angel, oh do you want a ride?"
Said "angel, i'm tired and i'm lonely
And i need somebody by my side"
Her feet were warm and tired
But as determined as a soul
She left with no regrets
But also no posessions did she own
Her heart was as fragile as her thin, loving arms
She's praying to god to take away her lonely
When he pulled on aside of the road
And he said, "angel, oh do you want a ride?"
Said, "angel, i'm tired and i'm lonely
And i need somebody by my side"
The highway goes on forever
I've seen a thousand men like him before
And i've seen a thousand angels that
Got into the car
They're just a couple of lost souls
Looking to rekindle some sort of forgotten dream
I hope they find what they're looking for
In the solace of the road
They said, "angel, do you want a ride?"
Said, "angel, i'm tired and i'm lonely
I'm tired and i'm lonely
I'm tired and i'm lonely
I'm tired and i'm lonely
And i need to have somebody
By my angel"

Thank you for the flowers you brought me today
And thank you for the kindness you showed me today
No love can be stronger than between two strong women
No man can ever know the dance between two women
We can dance... my lady... may i have this dance?
Thank you for the wisdom the knowing from inside
And thank you for the comfort only a woman can provide
No man can ever know the dance between two women
Love can't be stronger than between two strong women
We can dance... my lady... may i have this dance?
Thank you for the strength without a need for power
And thank you for the rhythym, the sacred circle
Love can't be stronger than between two strong women
No man can ever know the dance between two women
Like you and i
We can dance... my lady... may i have this dance?

37. _ She Cries
Time passes quickly for our lady of the hour
She brushes her long blonde hair
From her face only to find a tear
But she don't know why she's been crying
She looks inside herself
To maybe find an answer
But she's willingly distracted
By the man who like's her glitter
She says, "fool, i ain't gold."
She don't even know she cries cuz she's so tangled up in lies
In her head she plays a game
Pretending that she's not the same lady who is cheating on her husband
With a man she hardly even knows
She says, "ignorance is bliss."
But when he asks her name
She must fumble for an answer
She's been called so many
But now she can't remember
So she just makes up another
And she don't even know she cries cuz she's so tangled up in lies
Now the dirty deed is done
She heads into the bathroom
She washes her hands in the sink
And thinks it could clean her conscience
If only she could find one
And slowly she turns and heads
For the door as if this were all a dream
She has seen her sweet husband's face
But only like a fleeting glimse
Of all those bridges she's been burning
All those bridges she's been burning
And she don't even know she cries
It should come as no surprise
Cuz she's so tangled up in lies

Last night i heard the screaming
Loud voices behind the wall
Another sleeples night for me
It won't do no good to call the police
Always come late if they come at all
Last night i heard the screaming
Loud voices behind the wall
Another sleeples night for me
It won't do no good to call the police
Always come late if they come at all
And when they arrive, they say they can't interfere with domestic
Affairs between a man and his wife
And as they walked out the door
The tears were left in her eyes
Last night i heard the screaming
Loud voices behind the wall
I pray that i was dreaming when i saw the ambulance in the road
And the police man said "i'm here to keep the peace,
Would the crowd please disperse"
I think we all could use some sleep

She is addicted to he
She is the root connection

I spin so ceaselessly
Could it be he's taking over me
I'm dancing barefoot
Headed for a spin
Some strange music drags me in

She is sublimation
She is the essence of thee
She is concentrating on
He who is chosen by she
Here i go when i don't know why
I spin so ceaselessly
Could it be he's taking over me
I'm dancing barefoot
Headed for a spin
Some strange music drags me in
It makes me come up
Like some heroine
She is recreation
She intoxicated by thee
She has the slow sensation that
He is levitating with she
Here i go when i don't know why
I spin so ceaselessly
'til i lose my sense of gravity
I'm dancing barefoot
Heading for a spin
Some strange music drives me on
Makes me come up
Like some heroine
Oh god, i fell for you
Oh god, i fell for you
Oh god, i fell for you

42. _ A Housewife's Revenge
Seems like that man took my heart
[feels]
Laid it neatly out before him on the floor
Then he put on the biggest
Heaviest winter boots he had
And stomped on it for three hours,
Maybe four
And i hope his sorrells are ruined forever
Cause you know he knows how to push my every button
Get down to my last nerve
Like the other day he forgot to put his beer can
In the recycling bin
And he meant to do it on purpose i'm sure
So i might just have to tell him
Why his dog, ralph, that ran away three years ago
Won't be coming home again
Cause you know he walks around the house
In his underwear
Whenever my girlfriends come around
And perhaps if he were good looking
I might feel a bit jealous, overzealous
But all i feel is embarrassed
Looking at him standing there
And i hope he never finds his left slipper
And my psychiatrist says i should tell him how i feel
He says, "oh great, i gotta listen to her snivel again"
So i have these little unfulfilled fantasies
Of putting arsenic in his teacup
We'd see who'd be laughing then
If only he was the type to drink tea
Now i hear him come up the driveway
In his el camino
With its black with a red-flame firebird on front
He keeps the keys to himself
He won't take me out to the movies
Cause of football
So i'll just hold out on something else
I'll never cook him another single hungry man tv dinner again
I say, "listen man, you better treat me with some
R-e-s-p-e-c-t
Cause i gotta a whole lotta what you need
Then a whole lot besides, and then still a whole lot more"
He said, "yeah, if you were talking about your weight
That might be true - but otherwise all you give me is
Headache and heartburn"
So i took his hungry man tv dinner and his sorrels
So i took his left slipper and his hungry man tv dinner
And i spit on his sorrels as i walked out the door.
And i spit on him as i walked out the door
By the way, your dog ralph won't be coming home again

43. _ Need A Piece Of Your Love Machine
It's been seven hours and sixteen days
Since pollination has come my way
I sit around like dirty cups 'n the spoons
Stacking up around your room
Are you gonna come and pick me up
Stick your finger in my buttercup
What's wrong with me?
Just need a piece of your love machine
The yellow sun is just like chicken soup
Both are wasted if they don't get used
I'm like a petal that needs to be plucked
Come on daddy, let's duck
All resistance like vietnam
You be my trader
I'll be your viet cong
What's wrong with me
Just need a piece of your love machine
You were my romeo
I was your juliet
Hiding in the trash can
We both got wet
You fed me chicken chow-mein
Our love was spicy, yet plain
You built a giant ship and you sailed with it
But now you're gone
Gone
Gone
What's a rose if it won't be smelled
What's a texture if it won't be felt
You wear a plaid like there' no tomorrow
It spills out of the closet
I think that i'll borrow
Some pants or some underwear
There's a trace of you under there
What's wrong with me
Just need a piece of your love machine

44. _ Silver Satin Wings
"i don't mean to be bad," said the bubble headed blonde,
And it was probably true.
"but what else can you do when looks are all people notice
And looks are all that they want, too."
And now she's sitting in the bedroom and she's crying
Now she lies beneath his silver satin
Wings cause she was never raised to know any better
Because he is the best thing she has ever seen
And papa said she's too cute for words
So she never learned how to speak
And mama said she don't need to read
Just a hot mercedes and a decent man that won't (spring a leak)?
So now she's sitting in the bedroom and she's crying
Now she lies beneath his silver satin wings
Cause she was never raised to know any better
Because he is the best thing she has ever seen
In school all she learned that talk is cheap
But looks they come for free
They said "hey, why try and think girl, if you can smile
And get anything you need?"
So now she's sitting in the bedroom and she's crying
Now she lies beneath his silver satin wings
Cause she was never raised to know any better
Because he is the best thing she has ever seen
She said "sometimes there's this fear inside
That cannot sleep at night, though he is sleeping fine
And i used to like the way he talked
Before i knew promises were just other words for 'goodbye'."
See now she's sitting in the bedroom and she's crying
As she lies beneath his silver satin wings
Cause she was never raised to know any better
Because he is the best thing she
He is the best thing she will ever see.

If you see me speak without words
Know that i am speaking of the wind
And if you see my words like wind
Know that soft tongues cut through stone
And if you see my tongue like stone
Know its wisdom lies in silence
And if you see my wisdom in silence
Then with you i will always be
And if you doubt my true love is true
Just see how you have no mockings on your hands
And if you see you wear no chains
You are free like poor men
And if you see your freedom in being poor
Pleased you'll be with the treasure of your mind
And if you're pleased with the treasure of your mind
Then with you i will always be
And if you wonder how it is that i left
Just watch the sun set slip away
And as you watch that sun slip away
Know some things are better left unseen
And if you know things are better left unseen
Then night shall carry you in her arms
And if you see i carry you in my arms
Then with you i will always be
With you i will always be

See sassy wake up she's ?????
Thinks/things you tell by the ring on her finger
Can't you tell by her fifty dollar shoes
That she's confusing love with the people she uses
But don't worry about nothing, nothing at all
It's just a temporary conscience?
Even spring's? got to fall
See sassy she's a little girl
She looks so ??? she looks so weak?
Papa says that she's too cute for words
So sassy never learned how to scream
But don't worry bout nothing, doll, nothin at all
It's just a temporary conscience
And even spring's(?) got the fall
Hush you baby don't you cry
Papa's gonna feed you some good advice
Hush you baby don't miss this(?)
Papa's gonna buy you a pretty dress
As though that could mend your heart
As though it could keep you from being torn apart
As though it were your destiny
To face every man you meet
On your knees
See sassy wake up on the other side
Stares at a/her wedding dress and starts to cry
She's got big eyes but they don't see too clear
Otherwise she never would have ended up here
But don't worry about nothing doll nothing at all
It's just a temporary conscience
And even saints/streets/straights got to fall.
Yeah yeah

See sassy wake up she's alone?

Now love is gentle love is kind
The sweetest flower when first its new
But love grows cold and waxes cold
And fades away like morning dew
There is a ship she sails the sea
Shes loaded deep as deep as can be
But not as deep as the love im in
I know not how i sink or swim
The water is wide i cant cross o'er
And neither i have wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row - my love and i
And both shall row - my love and i
------------------------------------
The water is wide
Original lyrics
The water is wide. i cannot get o'er
And neither have i wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row my love and i
I leaned my back up against an oak
I thought it was a trusty tree
But first it swayed and then it broke
And so my false love did unto me
Oh love is handsome and love is kind
And love's a jewel when it is new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like morning dew
Morning dew
Morning dew
Like morning dew

Sleep well, beautiful dolphin
Sleep well, white wolf
We have love for each other
For each other
Forever
Sleep well, beautiful dolphin
Sleep well, white wolf

Then we kiss, we kiss
We kiss, forever
Sleep well, sleep well white wolf
Morning wakes/we awaken in the morning
Then we kiss, we kiss
Forever we kiss

49. _ Be Still My Little Heart
Gray sky
No one's out there
To help me find
My way home
And half a jar
Of salsa
Is in my fridge
It's been there weeks
But i'm afraid if i wish tonight
My lucky star will be out of sight
It's only when the moon is high
I start to miss you standing by
Oh, be still, my little heart
A thousand things
Fill each day
Grocery lists
???? the ?car?
Now crowded rooms
Make it easier
To forget
I'm alone
It's only when the moon is high
I start to miss you standing by
But i'm afraid if i wish tonight
My lucky star will be out of sight
Oh, be still, my little heart
Oh, be still, my little heart

50. _ Because I Love You
It's time now to leave
Quiet the mind of it's chatter
Still the riot in your heart
Disarm the tongue of it's dagger
Tell your arms not to worry so
And listen.....
Step into it
Lift your face into the strong wind
Least we miss it's meaning
Such cold beauty exists here
Do you see it?
Like the landscape
Frozen & waiting to be born
Let me bundle you in clothing
And soft things
Because i love you
I will not send you out into the night
With teeth marks & pride i have stripped you of
We will prepare each other
We will make up our own ceremony
I will draw a compass on your belly
Tell me that its ok
Before you turn me loose
Into the endless sky
Let me kiss you & then send you on your way
For winters can be long
And i will need a friend

51. _ Been Down So Long
* spirit version (1998) *
Sun sets 'cross the ocean
I'm a thousand miles from anywhere
My pocketbook and my heart both just got stolen
And the sun act like she don't even care
The wind blows cold when you reach the top
It feels like someone's face is stuck to the bottom of my shoe
I got a plastic jesus, a cordless telephone for every corner of my room
Got everybody but you telling me what to do
But i've been down so long
Ooh, it can't be longer still
I've been down for so long
That the end must be drawing near
I look to everybody but me to answer my prayers
'til i saw an angel in the bathroom who said she saw no one
Worth saving anywhere
And a blind man on the corner said it's simple, like flipping a coin
Don't matter what side it lands on if it's someone else's dime
But i've been down so long
Ooh, it can't be longer still
We've been down for so long
That the end must be drawing near
I take a trip, i catch a train, i catch a plane
I got a ticket in my hand
And then a man takes my money
And like cattle we all stand
But we've been down so long
Ooh, it can't be longer still
We've been down for so long
The end must be...
I know the end must be...
Oh, i know the end must be drawing near
Bridge repeat / scat section
* live version (pre-1997) *
Transcribed by adam l.
The sun sets across the ocean
I'm a thousasnd mile from anywhere
And my pocketbook in my heart
Both just got stolen
And the sun act like she don't even care
The wind blows cold when you reach the top
Feels like somebody's face is stuck to the bottom of my shoe
Got a plastic jesus, a cordless telephone ..??.. corner of my room
Got everybody but you tellin' me what to do
***
Well i've been down so long
It can't be that much longer still
And i've been down for so long
That the end must be drawing near
***
I looked to everybody but me
To answer my prayers
Until i found an angel in the bathroom
Who said she didn't see anybody who was savin anywhere
And the blind man said, "simple... like flipping a coin -
Don't matter what side it lands on
So long as it's somebody else's dime"
Cause if you're the top of the bottom
It all feels the same
We live out of fear if we're too rich or we're too poor
Fuess all i can do is museter up some change
And little bit of faith
And take some dignity when i walk through this door
*** (chorus)
Gonna take a trip
Catch a train
Got a ticket in my hand
And then a fat man takes my money
And like cattle we all stand
I'm just a faceless body lost in this vast and worthless sea
In a thousand people i do not know
But really they are no different from me
They all have passion
They all have fear
They all have intense confusion
And no sweet moments that are clear
They all have aspirations
High hopes and dreams
And are really that alone like me
***
We've been down so long
It can't be that nmuch longer still
We've been down so long
That the end must be...
The end must be...
The end must be drawing near

52. _ No More Heartaches
Shut up, sweetheart, i want you to hear
I can no longer love the same thing i fear
I can no longer let myself stay close
To the one thing that hurts me the most
I will not kiss the thorn
Hearts don't need to bleed to know what they're for
There'll be no more heartaches
There'll be no more heartaches for me
I take back my sweetness
It's overlooked by your lust
My song is unseen
Cause your touch is too tough
I don't think your hands know how to adore
The subtlety of me anymore
I unfasten myself from your side
Slip away, quiet as a sigh
There'll be no more heartaches
There'll be no more heartaches for me
Beds filled with suspicion
Hearts filled with spite
We sleep with thieves
And forego our sights
Too quick to hold
Someone's word over our own
You may be cool
You may know how to flatter
In the end (all i have is matter (?))
There'll be no more heartaches
There'll be no more heartaches
No more heartache anymore
Anymore, oh oh oh, for me.

53. _ Under The Water
Bees are buzzin' in their honey catacomb
All the noise seems to call my head a home
Can't escape the scratchin'
My blood makes a noise
It's hard not to play when there are so many toys
So many toys
Under the water
The total is more than the sum
Under the water
I hear who i'll become
There's a hole inside my head where all the thoughts break out
Sometimes my flesh is filled with forgetfulnes and doubt
It's easy to feel separate, no control of the reigns
Innocence ain't lost it just needs to be maintained
It needs to be maintained
Beside me are strange fish, moody and dark
A tapestry of intention that maintains the spark
And there's a tiny light
A flicker within
Forgiveness is the needle that knows how to mend
It knows how to mend
Under the water
The total is more than the sum
Under the water
I hear who i'll become
(spoken "rap")
I've decided to hear who we will become
Wanna lay down in the water, go back to where i'm from
Outer space is just a puzzle of stars
Music the mechanics of the human heart
A post that stirs, a shadow that casts
An insatiable thirst drains a martini glass
There's no place sacred, no honest reflection
Our senses made senseless by a lack o' direction
Monks are great with their fists uncurled
But they live in a cave, they know nothin' of the world
I wanna live brave, i wanna love without fear
But it's hard to navigate when i can't even hear
(do do do do do do do,
Do do do do)
Bees are buzzin' in their honey catacomb
All the noise seems to call my head a home
Can't escape the scratchin'
My blood makes a noise
It's hard not to play when there are so many toys
There're so many toys
Under the water
The total is more than the sum
Under the water
I hear who i'll become
Under the water
My flesh is filled with stars
Under the water
I hear who we really are
Under the water
I lay my burdens down, down, down
Under the water
All resistance drowns
(do do do do do do do, do do do do)
(do do do do do do do, do do do do)
(do do do do do do do, do do do do)
(do do do do do do do, do do do do)
(do do do do do do do, do do do do)
Come on, come down, down, down under go,
A-go down on and go down under
Go under the water
I hear who i'll become
Under the water
I lay my problems down
Under the water
All my resistance drowned

54. _ Carnivore
So much space can fit in a side
More than words can say
I'm left here with my hands all awkward
Trying to mend space
I used to know you
But not anymore
Your substance has been subtracted
Word by word
Silence in my ears
Where once you offered your conviction
Your promises are dried beats
They're cracked with nostalgia
But that's all right
That's okay
Had no business
Giving myself to you anyway
Be careful next time for sure
And i'll
I'll never trust my pink fleshy heart
I'll never trust my pink fleshy heart
To a carnivore
Carnivore
Your soul is an ink stain
Your perfection is amend
You're as fragile as your thoughtlessness
As strong as you can bend
You could only believe in embryos
Held all your high hopes through a telescope
Lavender haunted you
So i could own your life in yellow
You have a fire down in genius, subtlety
And you slip through the fingers of ambiguity
Well, that's all right
That's okay
Had no business
Giving myself to you anyway
Be careful next time for sure
And i'll
I'll never trust my pink fleshy heart
I'll never trust my pink fleshy heart
To a carnivore
Well i didn't know
But i won't do it again
This time i'll be my own best friend
And i'll take back my song and my poetry
This time i won't be so easy to read
And i'll never trust my pink fleshy heart
And i'll never trust my pink fleshy heart
And i'll never trust my pink fleshy heart
To a carnivore
To a carnivore
To a carnivore

55. _ Fade Away (i'm Fading)
It's k-mart, the bathroom
I'm staring in the mirror
The green lights are bright
It makes the lines clearer
Heard the angel go
Cigarette smoke's all that's left
I've traded in my wings for a string of pearls
And now the string is all i've left
The light bulbs burn
Some ones in the stall
Big white
Brick wall
Makes me feel small
And i take my shirt off
Looking for a glimpse of flesh
I peel back the concrete
Hope there's still some soil left
Cuz i am fading
I am fading
I am fading away
I am fading
Just like fairy tales
Hero loses faith
I am fading
The air smells like urin
It's getting hard to breathe
I could walk out that door
But no one really ever leaves
I take all my clothing off
Trying not to forget
Stupid things like
The color of rain
And the smell of stone when it's wet
And i am naked in the mirror
With a feather in my hand
The lady comes out of the bathroom
Screaming, "oh, jesus!"
Like i was a man
And i ask her
"hey, what happens to us
When we get old and in the way?"
I guess she answered me cus' they
Took me away
And i am fading
I am fading
I am fading away
I am fading
Just like fairy tales
Hero's loses faith
And i do not know
Why or when
I guess that spring is just a leave me ??
And i am fading
I'm fading

Oh my angel
Sweet sweet angel
Come to me swiftly
Its night so still
The dawn bus come swiftly
I've been gone so long
Your face is so lovely
Its makes my faith strong
My hands are unsteady
I'm so far from home
Just tell me, angel,
I'm never alone
...
(i write them and then i forget them)
...(oh yeah)
Lay with me angel
Speak not a word
Your body is so slender
Like the wings of a bird
Fly from me angel
You see a dawn's a cuup (??)
I'll be with you angel
On the wings of a song
Yodel--ohh--oie
Yodel--ohh--oie--de--you
Yodel--ohh--oie--de--you--ahh

57. _ Moon Over Austin (hotel Angel)
Sweet man, sweet mystery
Unveil yourself to me
Sweet soul, lie so still
Flesh cup, gonna get my fill
Let me rise and fall
With the wings of your sheets
While the moon's full over austin
The city sleeps below
Only the moon bears witness
To my hotel angel
Through the window
Your body be a tender vine
That twists and turns just like mine
Your heart a slender thong
Filled with honey, built with song
'til dawn steals you from me
And takes me to the next town
But tonight the moon's full over austin
And babies lie below
And only the moon bears witness
To my hotel angel
Through the window
There's one thing that keeps me going
It's the slow and easy knowing
You're the kind of man
Who's kind of girl could maybe give her hand
So sweet man in your sweet misery
Lie upon my temporary sea
Love's dressing, i will adorn
To my side your absence be thorn
And i'll rock you gently to sleep
Tonigh is one promise we both can keep
While the moon's full over austin
And the thieves all steal below
And only the moon bears witness
To my hotel angel
Through the window
Hotel angel
Through the window

58. _ Race Car Driver
Come on baby, let's get in the car
I'm gonna take you real, real far
I'm gonna paint your mamma's face on the door
You ain't gonna see her anymore
Cuz i'm gonna be your race car driver
Your race car driver
They gonna paint a red flame, firebird on front
I will be evel kenevil, you can double my stunts
This ain't no malibu barbie corvette
This is a real 350 v-8, fuel-injected engine from a private liner jet
And i'm gonna be your race car driver
Your race car driver
Come on baby, let's get on the road
Let's get on track
And i will grab the wheel like it was your hair i was pulling back
I'm gonna straddle the line
Swear to god it's gonna take you real far
I'm just a real small man in a real big car
And i'm gonna be your race car driver
Got studded tires, excuse me if i'm blunt
I've got ribbed rims for her pleasure up front
Got fuzzy dice with a secret door
Full of flavored serums, breath fresheners and more
And i'm gonna be your race car driver
Your race car driver
Anybody ever tell you you look smashing by the dashboard light
Come on baby gonna make you feel alright
We'll take you at high warp speed
It's better than watching star trek after you smoked weed
And i'm gonna be your race car driver
Your race car driver
Come on baby, let's get on the road
Let's get on track
And i will grab the wheel like it was your hair i was pulling back
I'm gonna straddle the line
Swear to god it's gonna take you real far
I'm just a real small man in a real big car
And i'm gonna be your race car driver
So come on baby tell me what's your answer, you gonna cross the line
Ah, quit your sniveling, it's no or yes this time
What you're hungry? we'll stop by mickey d's for a happy meal
Eat a regular hot dog or fantasco on wheels
And i'm gonna be your race car driver
Your race car driver
I can see that you're not impressed
By the way that you are fully dressed
Looks like i'll have to pull out all the stops
I'm a sensitive man of the 90's, sweetheart, who cares for your
Emotional being an awful lot
And i'm gonna be your race car driver
Your race car driver
Come on baby, let's get on the road
Let's get on track
And i will grab the wheel like it was your hair i was pulling back
And i will straddle the line
Swear to god it's gonna take you real far
I'm just a real small man in a real big car
And i'm gonna be your race car driver

59. _ Cruise Control
Where do you go
When the cold wind blows
What do you see
When you're staring down victory
Well, hey mister, this one's gonna pass you by if you let it fly
Let it go, oh
You're not here, you're not in love...
You're on cruise control
You're on cruise control
You're on cruise control
You have no taste for
What is too known
You have to ignore something
Once it is shown
Well, hey mister, this one's gonna pass you by if you let it fly
Let it go, oh
You're not here, you're not in love...
You're on cruise control
You're on cruise control
You're on cruise control
You can't get it back,
It's like a heart attack
Once you lose track,
You can never find the track back home
You lost a friend and you lost something great
You sold yourself
Just to save a little faith
Just like a razor with nothing left to cut through
You throw yourself on everyone around you
Oh you're invincble, you (blah blah blah blah blah)
You catch cleverness up around your heart
You were always like the rest of us
?
But you'll be lonely tonight
Lonely tonight
Lonely tonight
You can't comprehend hunger
Before it begins
You can't appreciate good love until it's too late
Well, hey mister, i'm gonna pass you by if you let me fly
Let me go, oh
You're not here, you're not in love,
You're on cruise control
You're on cruise control

Would you like to ram your tongue down my throat
Would you like to grab my thighs?
Yes, i have got nice tits
They are the perfect grab me size
I'm just a nice girl
Thought i had everything
Until you flashed me
And i saw what i was missing
I've been saving myself my whole life
For some slimeball like you to come along
I am so desperate
I'll do you and your mom
Chorus:
I get this tiny little boost of adrenaline
When i think about what i'll be giving
My own private god's gift to women
My own private god's gift to women
My own private god's gift to women
Yeah, yeah
I was just thinking that it'd really turn me on
If some guy would drive by and show me his tongue
I was just thinking that it'd really make my day
If he offered me a place to stay with pay
I'm just a nice girl
Thought i had everything
Until you flashed me
And i saw what i was missing
I've been saving myself my whole life
For some sketcher like you to come along
I am so desperate
I'll do you on the front lawn
Chorus:
I get this tiny little boost of adrenaline
When i think about what i'll be giving
My own private god's gift to women
My own private god's gift to women
My own private god's gift to women
Yeah, yeah
I was just thinking that it'd be really cool
If i got hit up side the head with a manly tool
That way he could have nothing left to say
And have his way with me all day
I'm just a nice girl
Thought i had everything
Until you flashed me
And i saw what i was missing
I've been saving myself my whole life
For some motherfucker like you to come along
I am so desperate
I am writing you this song
And you're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
Chorus:
I get this tiny little boost of adrenaline
When i think about what i'll be giving
My own private god's gift to women
My own private god's gift to women
My own private god's gift to women
Yeah, yeah

62. _ Life's A Great Big Mystery Show
Went downtown just to be a martyr
But a telephone pole beat me to it
It was covered in barbed wire
Saw a little boy's white teeth
Like wild horses encaged by an iron string
Oh god...does not feel good unless he bleeds
And daily crucifictions are hung up on street signs
They use all sorts of names
Hope they never use mine
These consonants and vowels
That cannot scream nor howl
Only just hang around
Oh god...how'd things get so turned around
And in the office building
9 to 5 goes on trial
The man is startin to crack
But the ceiling stones smile
And the boss comes in
To see what fragile things
His dull and pointless tongue can tear
Oh god...he combed over a baldspot with a bit of hair
Cause everybody needs
Somebody else to blame
They can't curse themselves
They take their doctor's name in vain
They'd rather jump through hoops
And theraputic groups
Than in their own minds delve
Oh god...why don't we believe in ourselves
Sometimes
I think
Life is just a movie
And these
Strangers
Are folks we really know
Sit back
Relax
Enjoy some popcorn
Life's a great big mystery show
Saw tiny faces that are tattered and torn
But there's paint upon the mansion that is hardly worn
I'd like to go inside
But why i don't know
As though i could peel the paint
And feed it to the poor
Oh god...can't live like this anymore
My landlord..no...
My neighbor is as tolerant as a feeding shark
But they tell me that her bite is much better than her bark
She goes ramblin on
From dusk until dawn
Sayin i should try bein' like her sometime
Oh god...think somethin's died inside her mind
Cause
Sometimes...
Life's a great big mystery show

63. _ Louisa And Her Blue Guitar
A naked thigh has much to talk about
If it's just approached right.
Just like girls who talk too much
In crowded barrooms like last night.
Just like our lisa, ain't that right?
Conversations overheard,
Sacred silver dollars become petty change.
Suddenly red lipstick finds itself
On the wrong side of her age.
Just like our lisa, ain't that strange?
And washed nylons bleed dirty tears
From a stranger's window pane.
The red light cannot change the mood
Of the blue guitar that's played. blue guitar.
The sound of painted nails are playing.
Hi-ho silver, add another glass.
Good intentions can beat up sick attention
And louisa finishes last.
"oh goody, ain't life a blast."
Hollow glance.
May i have this dance?
The face's been worn and thin
'cause she's been wishing on too many stars again.
Washed nylons bleed dirty tears
>from a stranger's window pane.
The red light cannot change the mood
Of the blue guitar that's played.
Blue guitar.
Blue guitar.
Get in the car.

Babies on beach blankets headed for mars
Cute guys in crew cuts with the day goes to bars
There's a pretty lady in a bikini
Her eyes are clear
But her teeth look like smashed out window panes
She's trying to fix her dreams
With seaweed and sushi and carrot juice and wheat germ
There's a wide wall
That she can't see over now
But that's ok
Because mistakes are allowed when you're a
Satellite
A jog in the morning with some vitamins
Then go to a singles bar
California is sure lovely
It's the home of the stars
And everybody's got a great body, but mine
That's just fine
Cuz everybody's so shriveled up inside
They're trying to hide behind
Power bars and vollyball and valium
It's a wide wall
That we can't see over now
But that's ok
We're still growing
You know that
Mistakes are allowed when you're a
Satellite
No matter where you go
You can't outrun a cold
No matter what you do
You can't escape the flu
No matter how you try
You can't stop a satellite
In hollywood there's all these heroes
They're strung out on grace
Half-skinned gypsies
They're crying to leave this place
There are souls stuck in a bone machine
They are dying in crowded rooms
They are dying of blood on bone
They are crushed by ???
Cigarettes and ?? and high hopes
There's a wide wall
That we can't see over now
But that's all right
We're still growing
You know that

65. _ Train Song (aka Paler Shade Of Grey)
I try to recall what it was you said to me just then
But this train keeps on rocking me back to sleep
And i fear come tomorrow i won't even remember your name
I'd make myself remember
Make myself recall
But these promises and these vows i made you now
Seem to have no voice at all
The color of the canyons
When first it was said i love you
But these colors and these canyons
Now all seem silly and small
I don't understand at all
How these colors in my memory just fade
Into such a pale shade of grey
And cold rails remind me of your cold feet
And my eyes expect to see you behind every door
But when i shut my eyes
I can't even recall what it is that you wore
My god was that only yesterday
I can't even remember your face
I feel so far away
I make myself remember
Make myself recall
But these promises and these vows i made you now
Seem to have no voice at all
The color of the canyons
When first it was said i love you
But these colors and these canyons
Now all seem silly and small
I don't understand at all
How these colors in my memory just fade away
Into such a pale shade of grey
*i say to myself my god i used to love him
I wanted to share with him my womb and my world
But now i stare at him as though through a glass wall
I say i used to love him but now i feel nothing for him at all
My god how could this be
Won't you please explain this to me
Now sleep sings to me in a sweet and urgent voice
And i fear that i have no choice but to forget these flowers
These daisies you gave me, the offerings you made me
The vows that we swore by, swearing we'd be together
Always and forever, the children we named and now we'll never have
And i know i'm supposed to meet you
I don't even think i'll remember your name tomorrow
I make myself remember
Make myself recall
But these promises and these vows i made you now
Seem to have no voice at all
The color of the canyons
When first it was said i love you
But these colors and these canyons
Now all seem silly and small
I don't understand at all
How these colors in my memory just fade away
Into such a pale shade of grey

66. _ Daddy She's A Goddess
Refrain:
Daddy she's a goddess
Can we keep her tonight?
Daddy she's a goddess
Watch her move
Her hair so clean when she skin's so smooth
Her nose don't drip like me
Daddy can we keep her please please please
Oh yeah yeah
Saw her walkin' late at night by the liquor store
Set down my lucky lager and followed her out the door
Pretty young thing should know better than to walk home alone
So i saw my duty, hadda take her home
Sister likes to feel her up
Late at night
Use her body for a dartboard
And pin her up right
Oh bullseye there it is again
It's always so fun, cause with you i always win
Read the paper
Check the press
You're never gonna find that
Party dress
She likes it here
She told me so
She cries oh baby
(?)takes all the bowls of coal
Ain't never gonna find us mountain men
Kissing sister got boring, we won't be bored again
She's so fine, she's a hillbillies dream
Up here in the mountains, you can't hear her scream
Daddy she's a goddess..yodel-ay-hee hee
Daddy she's a goddess..yodel-ay-hee hee
(various improv on this until..)
Daddy she's a goddess
Doo doo doo doo doo doo daddy
Daddy she's a goddess
Doo doo doo doo doo doo daddy
Daddy she's a goddess
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo daddy

67. _ Down At The Bridge
I went down to the (?????)
Didn't really know what i was going for
Must have been a stroke of destiny
That's a break (into me)??
We met in the frozen food section
It was mrs. swanson love connection
Down at the bridge. down down down at the bridge
Down at the bridge. down down down at the bridge
You can really tell a lot about a man
By if he likes his peaches to eat fresh or canned
Does he like tide or prefer wisk
I've never go to know a guy as good as this
You ????????????????????????
It was love at first sigh, there was no denying
Down at the bridge. down down down at the bridge
Down at the bridge. down down down at the bridge
????????????????????????????
It's not real fast, but it goes real far
Like what i say, wouldn't have it any other way way way
I walk slowly towards you down the aisle
I got this future flash and it made me smile
I knew right then i had better leave or forever hold my peace
Put your grocery bag inside my cart
And i knew i'd never get ya out of my heart
Down at the bridge. down down down at the bridge
Down at the bridge. down down down at the bridge

68. _ Hotel Angel (aka Moon Over Austin)
Sweet man, sweet mystery
Unveil yourself to me
Sweet soul, lie so still
Flesh cup, gonna get my fill
Let me rise and fall
With the wings of your sheets
While the moon's full over austin
The city sleeps below
Only the moon bears witness
To my hotel angel
Through the window
Your body be a tender vine
That twists and turns just like mine
Your heart a slender thong
Built of honey, filled with song
'til dawn steals you from me
And takes me to the next town
But tonight the moon's full over austin
And beggars starve below
And only the moon bears witness
To my hotel angel
Through the window
There's one thing that keeps me going
It's the slow and easy knowing
You're the kind of man
Who's kind of girl could maybe give her hand
So sweet man in your sweet misery
Lie upon my temporary sea
Love's dressing, i will adorn
To my side your absence be thorn
And i'll rock you gently to sleep
Tonigh is one promise we both can keep
While the moon's full over austin
And the city sleeps below
And only the moon bears witness
To my hotel angel
Through the window
Hotel angel
Through the window

69. _ Just Passing Time
I like the way that you come
Running up to me
It sort of reminds me of
Black and white movies
And i will put a white dress on and
By the window wait
For my richard gere to come
*or
For my marlin brando to come
Crashing through the gate
Sometimes i talk on the phone
Until my ears are numb
My friends all say it's because
I can't face anyone
I know i'm just passing time
I'm just passing time
Saw you walking downtown
To the video store
Saw you with another girl
I'm sure she was a whore
You say she means nothing to you
Thus nothing to me
Excuse me while i get drunk
On too much bad t.v.
Sitting here and i'm waiting
For your mouth to open up
And start overflowing
Like jesus' cup
And i'm just passing time
I'm just passing time

70. _ Rocker Girl
I went downtown just to see
If there was a rocker boy made for me.
Tight pants and long brown permed hair.
Preferably zebra striped underwear.
He's gonna rock my world.
Be his rocker girl.
Gonna be his rocker girl.
I love the way that he gives all the guys shiners
'cause it sort of matches my blue eyeliner.
He's so tough, he's so cute, he's a regular dream.
He looks so good in his acid washed denim jeans.
He's gonna rock my world
Be his rocker girl.
He will know all the good movies.
He'll know just how to rock it to me.
He'll be so romantic and that
He'll know every word to spinal tap.
And i'll be his rocker girl... 2 3 4.
If he was russian, he would be the kremlin.
If he was a rock star, he would be led zeppelin.
If he was a month he would be oh say may or june.
If he was underwear he would be fruit of the loom.
He's gonna rock my world
Be his rocker girl.
Gonna be his rocker girl.
Gonna be his rocker girl.

72. _ Sunshine Superman
Sunshine came softly through my window today
I could have tripped out easy but i've changed my ways.
It'll take time i know it, but in a while...
You're gonna be mine and i know it, we'll do it in style.
Cause i've made my mind up you're going to be mine
I'll tell you right now...
Any trick in the book, oh baby, that i can find.
Everybody's hustling just to have a little scene.
When i say we'll be cool, well, i think that, you know what i
Mean.
We stood on a beach at sunset, do you remember when...
I know a beach where baby, it never ends.
When you've made your mind up forever to be mine.
I'll pick up your hand and slowly, blow your little mind.
Cause i've made my mind up you're going to be mine
I'll tell you right now...
Any trick in the book, oh baby, that i can find
Superman or green lantern ain't got, nothin' on me.
I can make like a turtle and dive for pearls in the sea
You can just sit there thinkin', on your velvet throne
About all the rainbows you can have for your own.
When you've made your mind up forever to be mine.
I'll tell you right now...
I'll pick up your hand and slowly, blow your little mind.
When you've made your mind up forever to be mine.
I'll pick up your hand and slowly, blow your little mind.
I'll tell you right now...

73. _ Here When Gone
I am a woman haunted by hands
Even though i'm alone
Traces of pompey
Across my skin
And an invisible map
Of where you've been
It's dry road to idaho
A thirsty tongue across the land
And soil so dry
You could swallow an entire man
Took the first road out of town
Hoping that you were just skin deep
Well i feel you like
Some sort of phantom limb
Beside me when i sleep
Cause you are here when gone
You are here when gone
You are here when gone
You are here when gone
I watch another grey day unfold
It's dusty wings
Sometimes i wish i were more like
Rocks and stones and things
Sometimes i wish my heart
Were not like flowers at all
That way i wouldn't get butterflies
When you called
Begin extra
And the night swallows itself
You can see it in the stars
The moon blinks it's tired eyes
I may be a thousand miles to nowhere
Does that make me lost or found?
Oh - is it that relative to if you're around?
End extra
And some birds abandon their young
Cause the instinct is too strong to fly
Well i feel like abandoning
My guitar and my books and i'm afraid
I don't know why
Cause you are here when gone
You are here when gone
You are here when gone
You are here when gone

75. _ Boy Needs A Bike (ride Away)
Pop works in the shop til eight
Mom's on the phone and she's kind of irate
Sally's doing sommersaults on the lawn
Pop slams open the front screen door
Just to scare mom
She says, "what the hell did you do that for?"
He washes his dirty hands in the sink
And things around the table are kind of rough
Mom says it's pa
Pa says, "the times are just tough"
And me and sally don't say much of nothing at all
The garage door light brightens up the night
Pa always works on cars when he gets in a fight
As though he could figure out that woman by working on that
Old car
He said a car can cure any problem at all
Cause of looking at all them parts makes a fight look so small
But i wish he'd just put me and sally in the backseat and
Drive us away
That's when he sits me down
He says he's gonna teach me about life
He said, "a man needs a car and a boy needs a bike"
I got my first taste of freedom beneath the light of the moon
But if it were me
I'd have the guts to put to test those bolts and nuts
And i'd ride away so fast, so far
Ride away... so fast, so far
Put away our tools
We go back inside
Mom feels left out and now she's starting to cry
I wonder if all girls are crazy this way
I wish pops would just get a spine
I said i know it's kind of small but you can borrow mine
He just smiled and said, "your mom means well son"
Most times are good it's just some that are lean
But it's love that makes up for those times in beteween
He got a tear in his eye as he took mamma's hand
Said one day i'd understand
But if it were me
I'd have the guts to put to test those bolts and nuts
And i'd ride away so far, so fast
Ride away so fast so far
Ride away

76. _ Cold Song
It's getting cold and i'm starting to sneeze,
I wipe my nose on my sleeve.
I've got the sniffles
I'd better drink my tea.
Oh do you do you wanna wanna catch a cold with me?
I'd catch a cold with you anytime,
I ain't just feverish, i ain't just lyin'
'cause when your nose is running it's a perfect time for kissing
And hugging.
Oh do you do you wanna wanna catch a cold with me?
We'll stay inside where it's nice and warm
Tell our bosses, we're caught in a sneezing storm.
We'll sniffle and snuggle and watch some more tv.
Oh do you do you wanna wanna catch a cold with me?
I'd catch a cold with you anytime,
I ain't just feverish, i ain't just lyin'
'cause when your nose is running it's a perfect time for kissing
And hugging.
Oh do you do you wanna wanna catch a cold with me?
Do you do you wanna wanna wanna wanna do you do you wanna
Do me yes indeed,
Oh do you do you wanna wanna catch/have a cold with me?

77. _ Marital Carnival
You come home, you look kind of frantic
Too bad cause i feel romantic
I know you're stressed out again
Tonight - i guess - that we're just friends again
You know i'm really not the type to compete
I hope your meetings were filled with lots of good 'meet'
And your appointments have lots of good 'ointments'
??? what you could never could satisfy
*** chorus ***
Cause i don't carry you like i did a minute ago
I tried to love you but it was just too stressful
It's like leavin' your boots on when you go swimming
But i never will fight for what doesn't want to win
You wake up - i'm doing cartwheels
You're grumpy
Said, "try some how i feel"
"i'm happy" just wasn't no fun
It's hard enough just waking up next to one
You know if you were oatmeal - you'd just look for lumps
If you were sweet i'd call you sugarbumps
If you were the sunshine you'd say i was
Well i am tired of this capricious game
*** chorus
A marital carnival
A marital carnival
A marital carnival
Stop!
I want to get off...
Sweetheart, i'm gonna find myself a ride
One that doesn't bring me down this time
One that isn't always on the run
One that can have good old fashioned fun
Cause you know my purpose in life is nothing more
Is then to simply be a dork
I'm just like a special chocolate treat
I ain't no piece of leftover hot dogs...
*** chorus ***
I never will fight for
No!
I never will fight for
Ruff!
I never will fight for what doesn't want to win (winning)

78. _ Poem Song
I like to call you my wild horse
(and feed you silver sage ?)
I'd like to paint my poems with
Desert tongued clay across her back
And ride you savagely as the sweet and southern wind
Through green and wild kentucky
I'd like to make you my secret song
Blaze and dark and red in the orchards
And i would steal away to watch the way
Your silver belly bends and bows beneath me
I'd make you my wings in the foothills of montana
My lover in the oceans of the world
I'd make you... of children
And i would scatter you across my green memories of home
I'd make you my hungry valley
And sow your golden fields and wheats my own
If i were a painter
I would paint you with this note
Silver traces on your skin
And if i were a writer
I would write these words on your back
In desert tongue clay, deep in (your wind?)
I'd make you my secret song
Blazing in the orchard
And i would steal away
To watch the way your silver belly
Bends and bows beneath me
I'd make you my wings in the foothills of montana
Make you my lover in the oceans of the world
I'd make you my calico children
And i would scatter you across my green memories of home
I'd be your hungry valley
And i'd sow your golden fields of wheat my own
If i were a writer
I would make you my wild horse
I'd paint you silver sage and
Ride you savagely through green wild country
(???) swedish verses
And you are the rose on my alter
I worship you eternally in flight
Like the wave ?
I'll dip you in these praises like cobwebs
And watch them....?
For your hair is the rain
And it soaks across the continents of my skin
These hands that worship you so completely
You see this woman standing before you
Naked and seared, true of intent,
I don't need you
I want you near
For you are my love
You are my flower of the sun
You are my lover for all time
You wake in the morning
For your sun(flowers?)
You wake in the morning
With your kiss
I'll be your hungry valley
And sow your golden fields of wheat...?
And you are the rose on my alter
I worship you eternally in flight
Like the wave ?
You be my calico children
I'll scatter you across my green memories of home

79. _ Spivy Leeks
Spivy leeks was a drip of a man
I met him washing dishes in a local cafe
And he told me if...were fishes
He'd steal all their scales and he ... away
Spivy leeks was an introvert
Like a broken radio
He'd make your day real long
An end result, ... time he looked up women's skirt
Just trying to figure out what was right from what was wrong
He was looking for jesus in all the wrong places
There in my hole, save his soul
Spivy leeks, it's time to go home
Spivy leeks was an odd looking man
He looks just like a pool table
Shoved into jeans
And he thought that he possessed a secret power
And no matter what he did, he would be redeemed
Spivy leeks lived at the local 7-11
He looked at dirty magazines most everyday
He studied those pictures like he studied the bible
He thought that they were angels and that he'd been saved
He was looking for jesus in all the wrong places
There in my hole, save his soul
Spivy leeks, it's time to go home
Spivy leeks robbed a liquor store
Instead of a gun, he used a candy bar
He told the cashiers that he was their saviour
But his holyness,
His holyness and his baby ruth didn't get him very far
Spivy leeks died a glorious death
Down on main street
It was quite a public site
And as mr. sheriff man was about to
Blow him to pieces
He said "halejuhah, i'm coming home tonight."

80. _ Studies In Love #12
The doorway frames
You a perfect picture silouette
Blue sky of regret
Enough to hang out
Your legs seemed to tremble
At least i imagine that they do
Then again, it's probly easy for you
Please don't open your mouth my dear
I can read all the signs i can take it from here
There's no need to explain
It's perfectly clear
The yellow wall paper peels
A strange halo around your head
It's funny how you notice these
Stupid things instead
You say something awkward
But i wish that you wouldn't
A whole life of you wish you could's
But just couldn'ts
Please don't open your mouth my dear
I can read all the signs i can take it from here
There's no need to explain
It's perfectly clear
I try not to fight too much
It only just makes me mad
Spent half my life loving you
Think of all the love that i could have had
Five years of kisses
Packed in my bags
And this tiny moment fits
All the big things we ever had
I can't quite pinpoint
When it left or what for
Love always steps lightly
Away from the door
Please don't open your mouth my dear
I can read all the signs hell i've known you for years
There's no need to explain
No there's no need to explain
There's no need to explain
It's perfectly clear

81. _ Without You By My Side
I lie so tired in my bed
And moon shows herself to the door
And i shut my eyes.
I pray to god, won't you tell me please,
What's a girl like me doing
Lying here without you by my side?
Lying here without you by my side
Lying here without you by my side
The room fills with moonlight and memories of old times,
But don't worry about me, i'm just fine most of the time.
The hardest part is late night, when i'm home all alone,
And the house is so still nothing better to do than think about you.
I'm lying here without you by my side
I'm lying here without you by my side
How quick my heart wants to believe, i'll never be lonely again.
It's those little things i never thought about much, that i miss most in the
End.
Like those sweet red-wine kisses, and the candlelight,
And the poetry, but mainly, it's just the warmth of your skin,
And having you by my side,
I'm lying here without you by my side
There's this weight in my heart, it's so heavy, so sad,
It felt like a wave that any moment comes crashing down,
And maybe my sorrow will drown tomorrow
When i'm lying here without you by my side
I'm lying here without you by my side

82. _ Everything Breaks Sometime
Under the shadows, forbidden and hot
Desire grows, more often than not
I'm sorry's a stupid word, a stupid thing to say
Especially considering it's not like i planned it this way
But i'm sorry is all that there is left of me
I'm so sorry this love made me hollow and left you empty
Maybe i could have loved you better
Maybe you should have loved me more
Maybe our hearts were just next in line
Maybe everything breaks sometime
Everything breaks sometime
It's hard to believe its boiled down to this
It seems so surreal this won't be healed by a kiss
It's hard to stare at you knowing you like i have
I used to feel so close, now i feel so bad
My heart's filled with thunderstorms and i'm ready to burst
And i've lost my favorite harbor and i'll weather for the worst
Maybe i could have loved you better
Maybe you should have loved me more
Maybe our hearts were just next in line
Maybe everything breaks sometime
Everything breaks sometime
I'm so sorry,
Everything breaks sometime

Fat boy goes to the pool
Sees his reflection, doesn't know what to do
He feels little inside
Filled with pride
Oh fragile flame
No one sees the same
Fat boy goes about his day
Trying to think of funny things to say
Like this is just a game i play
And i like me this way
Oh fragile flame
No one feels the same
Hush, sleep
Don't think, just guess
Yuo're momma's little boy
You're daddy's pride and joy
You know they love
But not because they hold you

Outrun my skin just to be pure"
Oh fragile flame
Sometimes i feel the same

84. _ Last Dance Rodeo
Your lungs fill up with concrete
Her voice is all you can hear
Red lips and a screwdriver
Wrapped around some mink-clad smear
And you know that she's a diamond
And it's damned you for sure (or in this damn juke box hell)
'cause fools gold only fools fools
In two-bit hotels.
But she's cooler than all that
She's a real high-class cat
She's queen of the last dance rodeo.
But under the gas lamp
The air is thick and velvety
Your bones filled with hunger
Your heart filled with longing
You're no longer human
You're an insatiable hole.
You wanna bury your face forever
In the navel of her soul
'cause you know ...
All you need is a heart to call home
All you need is a heart to call home
That's all.
Light bulbs, and nylons
And plastic chandeliers
Objects are only objects,
They can't feel when you're near.
And tangerine lips
And lily-white breasts
These things are eternal
Inside them humanity rests.
The skin is like a seashell
You listen to the soul
Like an old-time radio show.
But under the gas lamp
The air is thick and velvety
Your bones filled with hunger
Your heart filled with longing
You're no longer human
You're an insatiable hole.
You wanna bury your face forever
In the navel of her soul
'cause you know ...
All you need is a heart to call home
That's all.
But don't wander too far
On one constant star
Darkness exists, except where you are
Your feet are filled with wandering
They follow your own
'cause everywhere you are
Feels like home.
So search all you miners
You hunters of dreams
Look in the alleyways
For what you know is not what it seems
And fame, all you maidens,
It don't exist too long
But at least look behind you
And see your own shadow's gone
Don't you know it's the last rodeo
You gotta find yourself a cowboy
Or someone to keep you
Warm when it snows.
But under the gas lamp
The air is thick and velvety
Your bones filled with hunger
Your heart filled with longing
You're no longer human
You're an insatiable hole.
You wanna bury your face forever
In the navel of her soul
'cause you know ...
All you need is a heart to call home
All you need is a heart
All you need is a heart to call home
That's all.

85. _ Making Me Blue
My body is changing
To fit itself around your shoe
And my insides are aching
To be closer to you
You're like a crevice
Like a crack, not a trace
I can't make myself small enough
To fit in your space
If you come down, if you come down, if you come down
Down off your one-legged horse
Your immortal course
Is making me blue, yeah
You're making me blue, yeah
My limbs are changing
My heart is filled with growing pains
But you are so perfect
A brittle vessel filled with rain
You're like a rock
You're like a razor, like a tack
You're pulse is pale
But your humor's always black
If you come down, if you come down, if you come down
Down off your one-legged horse
Your immortal course
You're making me blue, yeah
You're making me blue, yeah
I'm your servant
I'm down on my knees
I'll be wishing you here
After i leave
I would worship you irreverantly
Just meet me half way
And i will lay you down
Come towards me, baby
We fit together
Like a couple of spoons
Although one moment the spell is wrought
Hope no one opens this velvet drawer
Love is always over too soon
But i want to hold you
Forever in flight
'til we're two old flames
There's a mighty thin line
Dancing by a dim light
If you just come down, if you come down
Won't you please come down
Down off your one-legged horse
Your immortal course
Is making me blue, yeah
You're making me blue, yeah
And my body is changing...
To fit itself around your shoe

86. _ Afraid It's Too Late
She sits at the window
All dressed in white
Been a long time since she's cried
Tears called ....tumbling down
She remembers her childhood brown
She's afraid it's too late
She steps out on the porch
Takes a minute from her day
Just like when she was a child
To listen what the wind would say
She was carefree like the children are today
Say, ?? loves you, won't you come out and play
She's afraid it's too late
When she was a child
She had crowns hiding gold
With such awe, each flower she did hold
And she...the grass beneath her feet
How she hated things that were already late
They took away her laughter
They took away her crown
They said "hey girl, you gotta keep your feet on the ground"
She said "oh, but they are"
They say "well laughter won't pay your bills"
A flower fell from her hand, falling still
They taught her to be respectable
Responsible somehow
They taught her to be in every....
She forgot how it felt to have leaves of grass beneath her feet
Now every thought screams to return to her childhood royalty
She's afraid it's too late
She takes one last moment
Before going inside
She takes a coat
To dry her eye
She ... and it all becomes clear
It's probably laughter that gets you what you need
....more than here
She's afraid it's too late

And i hope it finds you healthy
It's valentine's day
I'm glad your stinkin' girlfriend's wealthy (?)
It's valentine's day
I just love to say
I hate fuckin' valentine's day

88. _ Mamma's Little Hero
Every mom wants her little boy
To grow up and be a hero
Size years of age
She planted the seed
His young hands burdened
Bewildered and confused
How how the hell can a little boy satisfy a woman's needs
Nobody told him what you are
Not what she needs you to be
She made him her lover
But only through words
Inappropriate intimacy ....
And high hopes and dreams
She made him her babbot
Wound him so tight that she robbed him of his youth
Worrying about how to live up to
Expectations so high
Nobody told him what you are
Not what she needs you to be
Forever imprisoned by she
And standards that he can not hold
Till mamma's little hero sets himself free
He'll always be a man child walking
Forever frightened
By those big scary words,
Committment and need
A deep distrust that he could never satisfy
That a woman could love him for free
Say be what you are
Not what she needs you to be
Be what you are
Not what she needs you to be
Mamma's little hero

89. _ Nicotine Love
Go ahead touch me like that
The way you pull my hair back
Go ahead breathe me in
Bite me til i bleed
This love is like barbed wire running through my veins
Nicotine love
Go ahead hurt me like that
I've been hurt before
I won't be fixed again
I'm not afraid to sweat
Cause i like the pain and it's familiar to me
And more gentle than most men will ever be
Nicotine love
*but don't get me wrong
I don't want a friend
Just need you here to help me satsify this childish sin
This insatiable desire, this hunger so deep
You will melt on my tongue
And i will put you to sleep
And i will press you like petals
Til you're fragile and bent
And i'll rid you of...
Nicotine love
It hurts just right
Not to know your name
But feel that body beneath me
Struggling as though it was somehow sane
As when i was with him
Gonna make you promise to me
Than i will crush your heart
Cause i can't
Because it happened to me
Nicotine love
So come here baby
My honey, cutie-pie
Let my fingers swim like pale fish through your hair
So i can tell you that i love you
Your safe, never let me go
You wonder why it i'm here
With patience, soon it'll be all too clear
Nicotine love
*but don't get me wrong...
So go ahead touch me like that
The end is drawing near
Go ahead hurt me that way
You don't even know enough to fear
You don't know how true it is when you say
My kisses are sweet as death
But soon you'll have no more options
It's all you have left
Love is like barbed wire
I'm electric and so alone
So come here stray cat
I'm gonna take you home
I'm gonna press you like petals
Til you're fragile and bent
And i'll...
Well i'll...
Nicotine love

90. _ Run Tonto Run
Don't even try
Don't want no piece of your sky
And i won't look back
Cause your blue is all black
Your twisted frown
Is really upside down
And it won't last long
Cause your right is all wrong
You live in a box
Miniature hands, tiny sox
Your love is a sigh
It just passes me by
I'm gonna run tonto run
Pale hollow frame
Run tonto run
You've let your blood in vein
Run tonto run away
Don't undress desire
It's always on fire
Strange hour fall down
I'm gonna burn down this town
A splinter in my vein
A volcano under rain
Alt (your love the desert sands)
Alt (go cut your hands)
Your in love with your clone
Which means you're alone
I'm gonna run tonto run
Pale hollow frame
Run tonto run
You've let your blood in vein
Run tonto run away
You disappear just like a wrapper in a candy store
And i am left wanting more
And don't even think
This ship won't sink
I won't hesitate
You'll choke on your hate
I'm gonna run tonto run
Pale hollow frame
Run tonto run
You've let your blood in vein
Run tonto run away
You better run tonto run
You better run tonto run
You better run tonto run away
And don't even try
Don't want no piece of your sky
And i won't hesitate
It's already too late
Alt (and i won't look back)
Alt (cause your blue is all black)

To stand out in the rain
Until you're made whole again

92. _ When I Was With You
This song was written by jewel and steve poltz--jewel wrote the
Lyrics, but the music (melody) was written by steve for a song with
Different lyrics that appears on morning wood. this was jewel's
Response to that song, told from the female's point of view.
Do you remember when we were younger,
All those crazy things that we used to do?
You'd play my hips like drumsets
And sing all your favorite stevie wonder tunes
When i was with ya.
Do you remember we did everything together?
I'd share my otter pops with you.
And we would sing in all the slimy slimy barrooms
We'd watch for your cousin ed on the evening news
When i was with ya
I'd warm your tootsies up, they're always so cold
And i'd fix you supper from leftovers two weeks old
And i'd read you the classified ads in bed
And you would point out all the miserable lives
That i could have had instead of being with you
Could've been whoopi goldberg's breasts
Do you remember when you wrote all those letters?
Though i admit they were kind of sick
But still i knew i was your honey sugar dumpling
And just like a good line you'd alweys be there to lick
When i was with ya
Do you remember when you took all those classes?
All those crazy gadgets you would fix
I hated how cluttered our apartment was
I hated our landlord harry, he was such a dick
When i was with ya
I'd warm your tootsies up, they're always so cold
And i'd fix you supper from leftovers two weeks old
And i'd read you the classified ads in bed
And you would point out all the miserable lives
That i could have had instead of being with you
Could've been richard nixon's last pair of clean underwear ?????
Do you remember when we went to mexico
And stayed in that cute little place
We were honin' our fine love-makin' skills
And you tattoed "i love you" on your face
When i was with ya
I still remember the last time that i saw you
You left me with a hotdog in my hand
Was it cause i didn't want a pickle or was it a pretty senorita
Oh well, there was always stuff that i didn't understand
When i was with ya
I'd warm your tootsies up, they're always so cold
And i'd fix you supper from leftovers two weeks old
And i'd read you the classified ads in bed
And you would point out all the miserable lives
That i could have had instead of being with you being with you
Being with you

93. _ Ain't No Lookin Back (september 1996)
All of your ghosts
Litter the horizon
Glittering carcasses
I guess that makes twice then
Just like your daisies
And all of your buffallo
You dont worry
The children will mend what you tore
You dress yourself in sharkbites
You kill yourself in spoonfuls
You damn all the beehives
You make love to potholes
Your attention is a junkie
It has a wandering vien
And all of your thoughtlessness
Is dried up rain
Aint no lookin back, now---is there kid?
You always look to the west
You throw caution to the wind
You're on a one way track
But you cant buy caution back---can you kid?
You killed a man
Because you made him borrow
One suicide is made up
Of ten thousand tiny sorrows
America's great
Its the land of the free
We're so independant
That we forgot how to breathe
Aint no lookin back, now---is there kid?
You always look to the west
You throw caution to the wind
You're on a one way track
But you cant buy caution back---can you kid?
Show me one hero
Who ain't afraid of fear
Show me one adult
That knows how to hear
"we are the future"
At least thats what you said
I wanna know:
Who's the hope of today?
There's no lookin back now for you---is there kid?
All of your ghosts
Litter the horizon
Glittering carcasses
I guess that makes twice then
Just like your daisies
And all of your buffallo
You dont worry
The children will mend what you tore

All the animals
Agree you and me
Should be a team
And they walk on parade
Say that we were made
To be a team
And my flesh melts beneath your tongue
I am your little comunion
And all the rainbows
Tell me that they know
We're a perfect pair
And the birds up in the sky
Say they can see it from way up high
We're a perfect pair
And my wings weaken beneath your will
And before you i am trembling and still
All the birds know it
One and one is two
All the birds see it
Tell me why don't you
And all the light of the sun
Doesn't help me out none
Cuz you still can't see me

95. _ Silver Lining
My muffins are in the toaster
I got my raspberry jam
My grandfather was a sailor
That came onto this land
And he was looking for gold,
A pretty hand to hold,
Or some cards to fold.
At least, that's what i was told.
Silver lining
Silver lining, where'd you go?
Turn on my tv
They got talking heads in space
Used to be so easy
To have a little faith
I used to rely on luck
I didn't feel so stuck
Could earn an honest buck
Without lookin round, like jon kruk.
Silver lining
Silver lining, where'd you go?
I used to have hope
Now we got soap on a rope
I used to have dreams
Now we got overplayed baseball teams
We got grocery baggers, grafitti taggers,
Golf-ball shaggers, go team go.
Silver lining
Silver lining, where'd you go?
My landlord knocks upon my door
He's got that payday face
I swear to god he should be payin me
To live inside this place
It's filled with sharks and fins
Whose double chins say
Thicken your skin, child
If you want to win
Silver lining
Silver lining, where'd you go?
I fix myself some herbal tea
Cause it's healthier they say
Well, healthier ain't half as fun
I take a cold beer anyday
I used to have dysfunctional fun
In the cancerous sun
With my co-dependent hon
Eatin greasy greasy hotdogs on a buttered up bun
Silver lining
Silver lining, where'd you go?
Silver lining
Silver lining, where'd you go?

96. _ 501 Beauty Queen
She's got nice lips, a seductive smile
She's still as thin as a beanpole,
With a little less class, but a little more style
And she spends all her time trying not to hear you
What she doesn't want to know
Don't wanna know
And there's kellogg's in the cupboard
She takes a heart down from off the shelf
She passes by the mirror
She doesn't like to look at herself
Cause she'd rather lose touch with reality
Than lose her fantasy
Her fantasy
And her smile is as faded as a used pair of jeans
And her heart is frayed around the edges
She's comin' undone at the seams
And it's her last chance to make a statement
It's her last (note/no i've recieved?)
She's a 501 beauty queen
And there's flowers on the table
She's lovely, she's lovely not
But circles only make the hunger grow
So she goes out a lot
And she's out there just a runnin around
Trying to make up some lost time
Lost time
And she sits down for a social call
Like a princess she puffs on a cigarette
Her beauty is all threadbare now
But she's never gonna let them forget
Casue my how she looked smashing in her gold lame tank top
With the fancy beadwork on front
The beadwork's on front
But her smile is as faded as a used pair of jeans
And her heart is frayed around the edges
She's comin' undone at the seams
And it's her last chance to make a statement
It's her last (note/no i've recieved/i percieve?)
She's a 501 beauty queen
And a voice chimes like a bell in the night
That just don't know when to quit
She used to have more options
Now she wishes that she'd already picked
And she wishes she couldn't remember
All those things she'll never forget
Never forget.
And the lines they all go deeper than the days of her youth
She flirts and lies and always denies what to her is no longer of any
Use
But it's not because she hates what she doesn't understand
She just don't understand
And her fire? is as faded as a used pair of jeans
And her heart is frayed around the edges
She's comin' undone at the seams
And it's her last chance to make a statement
It's her last (note/no? i've receive?/at the seat?)
She's a 501 beauty queen

97. _ In A Woman's Life
_________________________________________________________________
1) as sung in santa cruz february 26, 1996
Somewhere between right and wrong is a love song
Its tongue hits the target but its phone number is always wrong
It speaks through calluses of gentler things
It speaks of kindness
But i don't think you know what that word means
Your love is a bitter seed that only the blind can see
If this is what love is
Then i guess there's no love song left in me
Somewhere between right and wrong is reality
Justice and shame speak foolishly of impractical things
Your kisses are as kind as candles
Your hands are as giving as stone
Your mind is kind as hitler's until night leaves you feeling alone
Your love is something i must do but never be
If this is what love is
Then i guess there's no love song left in me
I didn't mean to fall into darkness
It's just that i trip in the lights
Cause aw man it's hard to see that clearly and not put up a fight
But i knew i wpould break and not bend
Just look at this trouble i'm in
I need to realize
This is how the unhappy half dies
Somewhere between good and bad is every lie i have ever been told
They all come down but good deeds don't count it's what cards you hold
But i'm tired of your grey laughter
I am tired of your hungry eyes
This love is so rotten
It's startin' to attract flies
Your love is something that must do but never be
Its blade is made of jealousy and insecurity
Your love is a bitter seed that only the blind can see
If this is what love is
If this is what love is
Then i guess there's no love song left in me.

98. _ One Left Shoe
Under the spotlight, the neon kiss
Carnival barkers preen & twist
Three for a quarter, 2 for a dime
Broken hearts general store--open all the time
Chorus:
I'm lonely without you
Just like one left shoe
I'm lonely without you
Tennis shoes strung across a telephone wire
The sun sneaks up on my empire
Tent for your castle with a bubblegum crown
Me & my minions make the rounds
I'm lonely without you
Just like one left shoe
I'm lonely without you
Bridge:
I'm a little cocoon just blooming for you
I draw a deep breath, the day is new
I'm brave, i'm a hero, the world's bright & clear
But my insides shrivel when you're not here
Newspaper pile on my front porch
The sun is winding up, its starting to scorch
The air is dust & lungs are hot
I keep making love to what is not
I'm lonely without you
Just like one left shoe
I'm lonely without you

I'd like to sup

Refill the cup
With my baby tonight
I'd like to sup
With my baby tonight
Refill the cup
With my baby tonight
But brother you'll find
My baby tonight
Cause it's too darn hot
I call into
The kinsey report
Every average man, you know
He much prefers
His lovey-dovey to court
When the temperature is low
Cause when the thermometer
Goes way up
And the weather is sizzling hot
Mr. pants for romance
A g.i. for his cutie-pie
A marine for his queen is not
Cause its too, too
Too darn hot
It's too darn hot
It's too darn hot
It's too darn hot
It's too
Darn
Hot

100. _ Closer To Fine
I'm trying to tell you something about my life
Maybe give me insight between black and white
The best thing you ever done for me
Is to help me take my life less seriously
It's only life afterall
Well darkness has a hunger that's insatiable
And lightness has a call that's hard to hear
I wrap my fear around me like a blanket
I sailed my ship of safety till i sank it
I'm crawling on your shore
I went to the doctor
I went to the mountains
I looked to the children
I drank from the fountains
There's more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line
The less i seek my source for some definitive
The closer i am to fine
The closer i am to fine
I went to see the doctor of philosophy
With a poster of rasputin and a beard down to his knee
He never did marry or see a b-grade movie
He graded my performance
He said he could see through me
I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind
Got my paper and i was free
I went to the doctor
I went to the mountains
I looked to the children
I drank from the fountains
There's more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line
The less i seek my source for some definitive
The closer i am to fine
The closer i am to fine
I stopped by the bar at 3 a.m.
To seek solace in a bottle or possibly a friend
I woke up with a headache like my head against a board
Twice as cloudy as i'd been the night before
And i went in seeking clarity.
I went to the doctor
I went to the mountains
I looked to the children
I drank from the fountains
We go to the doctor
We go to the mountains
We look to the children
We drink from the fountains
Yeah, we go to the bible
We go through the workout
We read up on revival
And we stand up for the lookout
There's more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line
The less i seek my source for some definitive
The closer i am to fine
The closer i am to fine
The closer i am to fine

101. _ Comfortably Numb
Snow is on the mountain
Winter settles in my heart
Icy fingers are familiar
Smooth and cold and oh so hard
Comfortably numb
Frost bites deep
Tiny birds fly from my heart
White winds scream
As they leave frozen lands of my heart
Comfortably numb
I watch my hands
To see what it is they do
Their dirty, they don't build churches
They don't take risks and they don't remember you
Comfortably numb
Orion was a mighty warrior
Cleopatra was a cheap french maid
He said sweetheart i give you the moon
She says i much prefer jewelry
So in the stars he stayed
Comfortably numb
Me and jesus, we go way back
Cause we used to hang at the mall
He says you can't trust them
They'll just put holes in your hands
So i covered him while he stole a bottle of cheap cologne
Comfortably numb
Lord, forbid, care crawled up my arm
And i killed it right on the spot
For fear it might tear out of my heart
And make me love what i do not
Comfortably
Comfortably
Comfortably numb

102. _ Electric Fan
An electric fan
That keeps me company tonight
It's nights like this make
It easy to forget
Why we used to fight
...it also makes it easy
To forget the words...
...right...
An electric fan
That keeps me company tonight
It's nights like this make
It easy to forget
Why we used to fight
Love is an ember
Born to burn out
Well, i wish it would
No, i don't feel that good
Lately they blend
And blur with the scenery
Crowded rooms make it easy
To forget i'm lonely
The cat puked in my shoe
Guess it's fitting it would
But i, i don't feel that good
Regret's a useless word
Usually i try to avoid it
But sometimes it gets so quiet
That i can't remember the morals
But the part i can't admit
When you're thinking out loud
Is just a whisper
That feels like a shout
Oh, god, i made a mistake
I can't breathe without you
The cars driving by
They throw their lights
Against the wall
I should go to bed
Get out of this chair
And turn the tv off
Oh goody! i get to go to bed alone!
If i could get excited i would
No, i don't feel that good

103. _ Tiny Love Spaces
I don't care if you leave your name after the beep.
Don't care if those are promises you intend to keep.
Cause lovers are just shadows that disappear with the light
And my happiness don't depend on if you come tonight.
Ahoh-oh oh
I don't think that you're cheap
I don't expect anything
You don't gotta leave what time you called on my machine.
Cause being in love just means calling places
When you can't afford the bill
Cause we all got these tiny love spaces that we need to fill
Ohoh oo
Filling up tiny love spaces
Getting lost inside of insatiable mazes
Looking for heroes in worn-out faces
Looking for a great big love in tiny places
You wake up, it's the next morning
Put my high-powered columbian crystals in the coffee machine
Read the newspaper, drink six cups of cofee, listen to mozart's fifth
Do most anything not to hear the phone ring
Oh oo ooooo
And i don't mind that you're emotionally blind
Don't care if i'm someone you want to see
You don't got to leave your number for me.
Cause i do not need your gosh-darn phone calls telling me how you feel
I only just need to make love to tell me that i'm real
Cause we all got these tiny love spaces that we need to fill ohoh oooo

With a little bit of orange

Filled in with with myself
The courage will be my own

My soul is just unknown
And i cry myself to sleep
It should come as no surprise
I've tailored myself to fit your needs
Still i am unsung in your eyes

If its pierced with cold

It haunts me when you're gone
Mend me to your side

How soon spring forgets

106. _ You're In Cleveland Today
When walking underneath the shadows
Where dark and sweet secrets lay
When night tonight falls gently down
Hearts helplessly fall to the ground
Underneath a velvet sky
Only words can lie
[chorus]
I wanna tell*(play) you everything
I wanna make your toes curl
You be my only boy
And i'll be your only girl
This much i'd like to say
But you're in cleveland today
Stewardesses like cosmo magazine
Vogue makes me nervous, i feel so plain
But i could face the world fearlessly
If you would face it here with me
With just our four hands and four eyes
Traffic cops would compromise
[chorus]
Daffodils and roulette wheels and rusty automobiles
Somewhere our things share the same windowsill
Somewhere our hearts exist independent of time
Somewhere we are whole
One body, one body and one mind
>from the air things look so ridiculous
Our fears so small our fight*/hearts*/mall* so vain*
*(our malls so small our fears so frail)
I want to pilot a plane with you
So all our problems look small too
It's just an inch from me to you
Depending on what map you use

107. _ Memoirs Of A Housewife
I have a secret obsession
It's totally tupperware
My own science project
Defying wear and tear
I'm jealous of shopping carts
And all of their brand new things
I want to fondle their labels
In hopes one'll rub off on me
'cause everybody wants to feel brand new
Like they do
I spend my days indoors
Doing like ding-dongs do
Perfectly preserving
Myself for you
I take things out of their boxes
Take out my note pad and pen
Study carefully
'cause everybody wants to feel brand new
Like they do
So tell me you want me
Tell me you need me
Tell me i'll always be desirable
Especially to you
Make me feel brand new
Attractive!
Brand spanking clean
And desirable as homecoming queen
But if i were to bet
All of the frenchfries in the world
That you would say such things
I would surely be one very hungry girl
I approach china cautiously
If there's cracks i deny it
I ingest only perfect things
Into my visual diet
And at night i undress myself
In front of your favorite things
Your brand new hand-tied blue bass fishing lure
And in the corner your money clip sings
Everybody wants to feel brand new
Everybody wants to feel brand new
Like they do
As they do
I do too

108. _ A Very Big Girl
They say you're feeling charitable
And that she's just a homeless little girl
You say she needs counseling
She's on a track team
But i find it hard to believe
Because baby looks like a very big girl
You say she's harmless
I don't about that
She's just a kittycat to me
Looks like a very capable cat
What'cha say about that?
You say she's unattractive
She doesn't turn you on
But that expression on your face ain't exactly a yawn
You say she needs uninticing
But i find it hard to believe
Beacuse baby looks like a very big girl to me
Yeah that cupcake don't exactly look like no hostess to me
Cause baby looks like a very big girl to me

109. _ All By Myself
When i was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
Living alone
I think of all the friends i've known
When i dial the telephone
Nobody's home
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
Hard to be sure
Sometimes i feel so insecure
And loves so distant and obscure
Remains the cure
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
All by myself
Anymore
When i was young
I never needed anyone
Making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
Don't wanna live
All by myself
I never needed anyone

110. _ Goodwill Store
I'm on the edge of my seat
In the soup of my soul
In the center of time
I'm in a sentimental role
You're a stranger of mine
And i'm a stranger of yours
But i seen you in the window
At the goodwill store
And i seen you in the window
At the goodwill store
Seen you in the window
At the goodwill store
Honey, open up
You don't need to shut down
Cause we're gonna blow the hell
Outta this town
I got these really cool boots
That zip up the side
With a little bit of fur
On the naga hide
And you found a metal
From the vietnam war
And i seen you in the window
At the goodwill store
And i seen you in the window
At the goodwill store
Seen you in the window
At the goodwill store
Honey, open up
You don't need to shut down
Cause we're gonna blow the hell
Outta this town
And there's a lutheran lady
With blueish hair
We'll show you to the drawer
Of underwear
And i'm wondering if
This camera really works
And then i meet your eyes
Near the fifty-cent shirts
And i seen you in the window
At the goodwill store
Seen you in the window
At the goodwill store
Honey, open up
You don't need to shut down
Cause we're gonna blow the hell
Outta this town
And you find boxers
With little blue sheep
And i find a tutu
I can finally keep
If we've been here once
You know we've been here before
And i seen you in the window
At the goodwill store
Well wear what you want to
And wear it with pride
Cause it's a big, bad, cold, hard
World outside
And when you're burned out
Heart sick and sore
We can sit down on the sofa
At the goodwill store
And i seen you in the window
At the goodwill store
Seen you in the window
At the goodwill store
Honey, open up
You don't need to shut down
Cause we're gonna blow the hell
Outta this town
I'm on the edge of my seat
In the soup of my soul
In the center of time
I'm in a sentimental role

112. _ Star Child
A child 5 years of age stared into the sun
She stared into the bright lights so long it
Burnt a hole in her mind and branded her eyes
It imprinted upon her soul, mysteries of both young and old
And then she'd close her eyes tight to feel the darkness
She's a dancing girl, dancing girl
She danced so fast, so fine
She danced around with her eyes shut
To see the stars in her mind
A spinning jupiter, a spinning mars
She herself was just a singing star
A breathing constellation
Cause she's a bright point of light
Traveling through the skies of her mind
Oh and how she knew the stars
And the map of the human heart
For long lengths of time, she'd stay in her mind
And follow roads back, ancient tracks and primitive times
When giant birds lifted themselves of
Starry wings to burn white, fiery silhouettes into the night sky
She's a dancing girl, dancing girl
She danced for them
And she followed all the lines back
To where they did begin
She saw her mother in pegas wings'
She felt her father in a scorpial sting
A genetic constellation
Cause she was a bright point of light
Traveling through the skies of her mind
Oh and how she knew the stars
And the map of the human heart
She saw bursting flowers made of lucride stone
Shooting stars who songs sang to her bones
She saw stories her grandfather used to tell
His flesh was frozen was frozen and kept so well
And a clear meeting of words, but pictures to
Tell her what she knew she needed to hear
She's a dancing girl, dancing girl
She danced so fast, so well
And she danced until her knees got weak
And all resistance fell
And all the walls, they came tumbling down
She stood eyes open, back on the ground
Wiser, full of glory
She was a bright point of light
Traveling through the skies of her mind
Oh and how she knew the stars
And the map of the human heart

113. _ Do You Want To Play
Met her on a friday afternoon
In a disco glow light neon chiffon (???)
She never looked back
She always looks good dressed in black
She says, oh oh oh oh oh whoah oh
Do you want to play?
The counter beneath the discount store
Pictures of randy newman
Scattered all across the floor
Says this place looks so desolate
You only have a life
But have you always been this way?
I'll take you back
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh whoah
Do you want to play?
Don't work too hard
Don't think too fast
Don't understand what you can't take back
Don't look back
Don't pray to your super-neon dayglow deity
Don't understand
Don't understand
Don't understand
Don't understand
Oh oh oh oh oh oh whoah oh oh
Do you want to play?
Oh oh oh oh oh whoah oh oh
Oh oh oh whoah oh oh
Whoah whoah oh whoah oh

114. _ Summer Home In Your Arms
You take your coat off and throw it on the floor
Night delivers you to my arms once more
You feel so familiar as you get into bed
Cigarette smoke halo around you head
You lean over and kiss me so sweet...
I could lay with you like this for hours...
Hours and hours
Building a summer home in your arms
I kiss you with the languid adiration of slumber
Landin' random as lotto numbers
One for each eye
And, oops, one on your nose
And ten for each of your cute little toes
You lean over and kiss me so sweet...
I could lay with you like this for hours...
Hours and hours...
Building a summer home in your arms
Am i crazy, do i talk too much?
Sometimes i think your silence is a crutch
Am i mad, are you married?
Oh jesus this love stuff can sure be scary
But so sweet... so sweet
Here in your arms
I'm a bit of a mess and i'm gone too much
But when i'm away it's you i long to touch
And certain things remind me it's such a special treat
As these little things that bring you to me
You lean over and kiss me so sweet...
I could lay with you like this for hours...
Hours and hours...
Building a summer home in your arms
I'm building a summer home in your arms
I'm building a summer home in your arms
I'm building a summer home in your arms
Built with all your charms

115. _ Food Stamp Love
Mmmmmmmmmmmm, yeah yeah yeah woh woih woh yeah
(so called cheesy intro vocals)
I'm outside your window
Talking through glass
You throw out some love crumbs
But i've got an appetite bigger than that
I'm hungry for something...yeah yeah yeah
That i can't afford
You dole out your love like foodstamps
Well i want something more
Sick of your foodstamp love
Sick of your foodstamp love
Sick of your foodstamp love
You hand me some paper...yeah yeah yeah
Show me where to sign
If i'm lucky i will get your number
Oh goody i think this is a real good time
After you ask me some questions
Do i qualify?
Well i don't want your handouts anyway
Cause boring stuff is all i can buy
Sick of your foodstamp love
Sick of your foodstamp love
Sick of your foodstamp love
[guitar solo]
I run to my mailbox
Hoping that it's there
Some sort of message telling
Me that you really care
But all there is is junk mail
There's a sale down at the mall
There's some coupons for *canned love baby (?)
But there's nothing from you at all
Sick of your foodstamp love (x6, with guitar work behind)
