This is not the way it's
Supposed to be
Spend my day in fear of all
It sets me free
I beg your pardon
For what I do and say
I can hold myself to blame
But the sure remains the same
Will success fail me?
Will it make me free?
What they tell me I should want?
Is it what I need?
Hey Mom, Hey Dad
The story went
Round the burning wheels of faith
It pays the rent
Hey sister, hey brother
I had to choose
Choose between the win and lose
But what's the use?
Will success fail me?
Will it make me free?
What they tell me I should want?
Is it what I need?
Come March come April
Come may and June
Let the pounding seconds go
There's nothing I can do
Will success fail me?
Will it make me free?
What they tell me I should want?
Is it what I need? (x 2)
Is there something I can do?

Would you like
To slip away into the garden
Where mystery flies
And magical vines
Twist and turn inside your mind
It's a blast
Here at the ole whimsical gardens
Where everyone dreams
Grand illusions are freed
From the constant poisons that we breathe
So tonight, we'll lay in the garden
Where we'll bury our souls into the ground
Then tonight, we'll pray in the garden
Where we'll lift our souls from out of the ground
Just relax
And we will feast on your emotions
Open your mouth and let it come out
Every single word will form a phrase
Don't refrain
Are you so full of so much anger
Every stitch on your lip starts to itch
Until it all comes pouring out your lids
So tonight we'll lay in the garden
Where we'll bury our souls into the ground
Then tonight we'll pray in the garden

Today is such a great day to be alive on this sunny April afternoon
Wednesday came with many bricks
I woke up feeling kind of sick
What was a hand is now a fist
I'm so tired of wondering
In every song I'm struggling
Will she find her comforting
Like a book you've read on a rainy day
I'm the girl without a name
The one that's always left off the page
But have you seen the Butterfly
How it wakes into another life
More beautiful as the one that died
Today is such a great day to be alive on this sunny April afternoon
Today is such a great day to be alive on this sunny April afternoon
Have you ever wanted to die
'Cause nothing seemed to go to right
Are you contemplating suicide
How every thought becomes so vague
'Cause feelings are so hard to say
So magically they're swept away
Like a wild horse that knows it's free
A seasoned flower blossoming
That's what I would like to be
Yes today is such a great day to be alive on this sunny April afternoon
Today is such a great day to be alive on this sunny April afternoon

Lord I feel I've lost command
The ship I've built is crashing from my hands
Everything seems so unclear
My tattered sails have all but disappeared
There was a lightning crash right over me
It struck so hard my ship began to sink
And just as the sea began to take me down
Someone reached right in and rescued me
La la la la la la la
Stranded so very very long
Lately lord I just don't feel too strong
See hopeless is carrying me away
I'm on my knees begging for today
There was a lightning crash right over me
It struck so hard my ship began to sink
And just as the sea began to take me down
Someone reached right in and rescued me
Lord hear my prayer, hear my prayer love will rescue me
Lord hear my prayer yes I know, I know, I know you'll rescue me
When your fear turns to faith, you'll find that you won't feel so alone
When your weakness turns to strength, you'll find that your suddenly back home
Lord hear my prayer, hear my prayer love will rescue me
Lord hear my prayer yes I know, I know, I know you'll rescue me
Lord I feel I've lost command
The ship I built is crashing from my hands

This ain't no walk in the park
But I call it my home and you're all invited
Waking up in the dark
Knowing I'm not alone, it's all so familiar
And got the trees in the sky
Got the grass in my toes, I got no tomorrow
Got the dilated eyes and a couple no doze
It's a happy feeling
For the drag queens, the speed freaks
All the homo boys they touch me, baby tainted love
The park on a Sunday afternoon, fruitloop daydream
Bring your life in a sack
You can come with us too, it's a happy family
Trade your crack for some crack
Change your groove for some groove, it's a poor man's party
The dozers, the posers
All the rich kids with their candy noses
Hey mister spare a sister some change
Fruitloop daydream
This ain't no walk in the park
But I call it my home and you're all invited
Waking up in the dark
Knowing I'm not alone, it's all so familiar
For the drag queens, the speed freaks
All the homo boys they touch me, baby, tainted love

Learning what I am
Feeling like a bluebird
Flying away
I love the drops of rain
Smiling on my feathers
Guiding my way
Do, do do do do (x4)
I trip across the air
It's treating me so kindly
So far to go
So I flew unto a tree
Gather inspiration
Happy to meet
(All the other birds) x4
We talk about our flight
In this queer dimension
And how we're afraid
To carry on our own
And finish our direction
Flying home
(All the other birds) x4
Like me

Can you hear me?
I've got a lot of things to tell you
Inside my heart
I'm feeling somethings wrong with me
And I know
I know I'm getting in trouble
But for now, I guess I'll go along my way
Are you ready?
Ready for it all
Maybe I'm not ready
Cause maybe I can't see
And I believe in Jesus,
Does Jesus believe in me?
Can you touch me
Cause I'm feeling very empty
Inside my head
The worst goes round and round
But I know
I know my day is coming
But for now
I got a long way to go
Are you ready
Ready for it all
And maybe I'm not ready
Cause maybe I can't see
That I believe in Jesus,
Does Jesus believe in me?
You seem so cold
You seem so uninvited
I guess you know
Everything that you're doing
Can you believe, everything that I'm saying?
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
What you see in me
Are you ready?
Ready for it all?
And I don't think I'm ready
Cause I don't think I see
That I believe in Jesus
Does Jesus believe in me?

We were wasting all the wine
Gettin high like two old friends
Shootin shit half wit politics
Rockin til 12:09
'Till the neighbor up above
Didn't like our points of view
So we regressed by breaking glass
From the bottles we both drank through
Hey you keep it down some us are singing the blues
We got jobs and wives to feed
And gotta buy the kids new shoes
We don't care cuz we're not there
We're gonna party til the cows come home
Kick back take off your hat
Why don't you party til the cows come home
How we love to raise the brow
Of a double shifted family man
He's pissed and things he missed
It's a life we don't understand
Work right through the afternoon
Never break until a quarter to four
That fool who bothered us is nine to fiven at the corner store
Hey mister how's business today?
I'll take a sixer and a bottle of gin
Go ahead and keep the change
You see Uncle Sam slapped me some skin
We dont care cuz we're not there
We're gonna party til the cows come home
Kick back take off your hat
Why don't you party till the cows come home

Have you ever wanted to corrupt the whole wide world?
'Cause your sick and tired of watching everyone
Stop to smell the roses
Everydays a fuckin holiday for you my friend
Maybe you would like to share the wealth
Or graciously pretend
Does anybody really truly know what P.C. means?
Maybe its just another way to say
Hey we don't like what you are doing
Waiting for a big gold medal to fall from out of the sky
Awarding you good Samaritan of 1999
Sometimes I'd like to throw a brick or two
At all the aggravating fates of doom
We'd like to recognize the pains your going through
But somedays never seem to end
2-3
Are we sane or have we lost it once again
We can only hope this day will come to an end
Have you ever wanted to blow up the whole wide world?
'Cause your sick and tired of all the politics
That screw you out of rent
Waiting to climb up the ladder that shows a better life
But it don't include exactly how, which way, when or why
Sometimes I'd like to throw a brick or two
At all the superficial pricks in the zoo
We'd like to recognize the pains your going through
But somedays never seem to end
2-3
Are we sane or have we lost it once again
We can only hope somedays will never end
Are we sane or have we lost it once again
We can only hope somedays will never end
We'd like to recognize your lack of patience my friend
But somedays will never seem to end!

In my daydreams everything's worthwhile
In my daydreams I ran a thousand miles
And everybody worshiped me
In my daydreams
Hate meant just to smile
And the pain never bothered me
I want everything
Everything I want
There's no room to turn me upside down
In my daydreams
I built my own empire
With no color and no creed
In my day dreams
I'm like a bird in Flight
I'm I getting much too deep?
I want everything
Everything I want
There's no room to turn me
Upside down
I want everything, everything I want
Yeah, yeah
There's no time to turn me upside down.
I want everything, Everything I want
There's no room to turn me upside down
I want everything
Everything I want
Yeah, yeah
There's no room to turn me upside
Yeah yeah yeah, ohh...
In my daydreams
I ran a thousand miles
And everybody worshiped me

Thank you for your sweetness
A hundred miles of pure delight
When we get together baby
My temperature's a hundred and five
I want to be your lover
Wanna do you in the back of my car
Can't you see my body aches
Let me take it just a little too far
Why don't you
Come up to my room
Let me show you how to have a good time
I won't care if you rip out my hair
'Cause baby that means that I'm doing you right
Take me up to the sky
Let me feel your body tonight
I wanna lay in your bed
Let me ride
I'll fix you all up sugar
Shift your body into overdrive
I wanna coke you up my love
Lick your lips until we're both feelin' high
Let me be your pusher
Feel you up when your gettin' too dry
I wanna taste your sweet sweet love
So shut up and turn off the lights
Why don't you come up to my room
Let me show how to have a good time
I don't care if you rip out my hair
'Cause baby i know that means I'm doing you right
Take me up to the sky
Let me feel your body tonight
I wanna lay in your bed
So let me ride
Now that the party's over
I'm sure you had a really good time
I don't need your number baby
And I don't need you to bother to write
You and me are all that we'll be
Yes I'm better if we both say goodbye
I don't care if you rip out my hair

You knocked me out
You bit my lip
You held me down
And kept me sober
Through all this time
With no regret
I guess that's just the way I liked it
Maybe
When I'm free
I'll realize all I really wanted
To share all the peace
Something that I never wanted
So wait
Don't go
Seems as though
It's getting scary
So please
Don't you go
Wait
Don't you go
You knocked me out
I can never be the same
I pushed you over
And here we will remain
Confusion new
Do you, and nothing's right
Nobody but you has to
Hold on to the fight
Just before you cry
It won't change you
It won't change me
And I don't even wonder why
Don't touch
Feel so much
And life
Yeah we cry
I know
Baby I know
But fate
I'm waking
I feel
I touch
I breathe
I cry
I know this
So wait
Wait
I said please
Smile just before you cry
Don't you go
You knocked me out
I can never be the same
I pushed you over
But here we still remain
You knocked me out
I can never be the same
I can take the fight
But don't
Don't take it away
You knocked me out
You bit my lip
You held me down and kept me sober

Jackie lives in a trailer park just outside of New York
You can catch her there anytime of the day
All the boys seem to know her well
She's got big brown eyes and ponytails
With a smile that will knock you out of the state
Sometimes when she's alone at night she likes to open all the blinds
Turn the music on and start to dance
One by one she takes off her clothes
And prances all around the floor
While all the boys are peeking over the fence, saying
Sweet jackie please, won't you come and dance with me, oh so
Sweet jackie please, won't you come and stay the night with me
When she's walking down the street
It's such a sight oh what a treat
As you watch her make 'n her way through the candy store
She'll come out sucking on a lollipop
Her juicy lips will make you drop
As you fall to your knees 'n beg for more, so
Sweet jackie please, won't you come and dance with me so
Sweet jackie please, won't you come and stay the night with me
All the other girls in town don't like it when she comes around
'Cause they know that jackie will steal the show
When she walks into a room
The place lights up from her sweet perfume
Then she'll slowly take your breath right out the door

In early morning I'm still gettin high
Counting my penny's like a desperate barfly
See me and Jack Daniels stay up wide awake
Counting the circles babe that compliment the lines on my face
Baby, get it while you can
Chasing ole smokey to pacify the shakes
When your a loser babe
You have to cure the pains and the aches
Baby, get it while you can
Hell is my heaven the devil stands right by my side
There ain't no halo to hang above my life
Baby, get it while you can
In early morning as I'm sipping wine
Will you still love me, baby through rain or shine
Baby, get it while you can

Woman, how do you feel?
It looks like your gonna cry,
Is everything alright?
Are your days
Dropping you in a hole
No signals no signs
No reasons or rhymes
And just when you thought you'd be down on your knees
I'll say baby come with me please
And we'll just
Fly away
Fly away
Don't you need to get higher
Baby Baby Baby
I wanna get close to you
But I'm so afraid
Honey, I'm so afraid
That one day you'll wake up and realize your wasting time, your sweet time
When I pick up the phone
You're not alone
And there I'll be standing wondering what's wrong
I'll say oh baby take me along
And we will
Fly away
Fly away
Don't you need to get higher
No no no no
I don't know how you feel
Talk to me baby
Come with me baby
Come with me baby
And we will
Fly away
Fly away
Yes we need to get higher

Wake me up when
The party's over
It seems I've had too much wine
Please remember
to remind me
If I had a good time
Was I friendly?
Or was I bragging?
And did I start to bore you?
Was I charming?
Or was I absent?
Did I even say goodnight?
Fill me up lets take a ride
From your mouth into my mind
Cause I grow weary from this trip I'm on, Yeah
And the ride keeps getting longer
And in morning
I'll be hungover with my face into the phone
Please forgive here on after
By the way how'd I get home?
Was I laughing?
Was I choking?
And did I start to annoy you?
Was I sleazy?
Or was I dazzling?
Did I even say goodbye?
(Fill me up lets take a ride
From your mouth into my mind
Cause I grow weary from this trip I'm on, Yeah
And the ride keeps getting longer) x 3
So wake me up when the party's over
I seems I've had too much wine

What will we become
Fallen children of the sun
Growing much too fast
How much longer will we last?
Without a ray of love to shine on everyone
And the silence we all wish we woke upon
We once were innocent but now we're far too gone
Carry on, chasing the sun
Carry on, we'll carry on
We'll carry on til we become one
Carry on, carry on
Tales and fantasies
Are all we're left with to believe
Castles in the sand
No one really gives a damn
Without a stone to throw, how would ripples fade away
Would there be make-believe, if nothing had to change
Who are we fooling, holding on to so much rage
We'll carry on, chasing the sun
We'll carry on, carry on
Carry on til we become one
Carry on, carry on
Welcome, welcome to this humble house of age
We would like to help you in your humble state
Time has granted you so many open doors
Now it's up to you to choose which one is yours
Carry on, chasing the sun
We'll carry on, carry on
Carry on til we become one

One day we'll run away
Build a house made of straw and clay
Worship every moonlit night
While we bang upon the drum
Plant seeds to grow the trees
That will supply the needs
To raise a wall of segregation
While we bang upon the drum
A social enemy has prayed upon thy faith
A loss of dignity
Is getting in thy way
Real soon the sand dunes
Will blow across every afternoon
Blinding us with a grain of salt
As we bang upon the drum
We'll plant our feet in land
Far surpassing machines of man
Thanking mother for this revelation
While we bang upon the drum
A common legacy
Has graced me with new faith
A needle and a thread
Has woven my new fate
One day in the afternoon
One day in the afternoon
One day we'll run away
Build a house made of straw and clay
Worship every moonlit night
As we bang upon the drum
A social enemy has prayed upon thy faith
A loss of dignity is getting in thy way
One day in the afternoon

Sun
Warm me while I sleep
Give me comfort and a head full of dreams
Lift
Me to where you are
Let me lay upon your bright yellow star
The sound
The pulsing in my ear
Is the pressure that I constantly hear
I'm just a dreamer
I can't wake from sleep
I am midflyer
But I'm getting too deep
Lost
In a world that's so arranged
Common people just a link in a chain
Stop
So much anger touches me
If I'm happy it still won't set me free
I'm just a dreamer
I can't wake from sleep
I am midflyer
But I'm getting too deep
I'm just a dreamer
I can't wake from sleep
I am midflyer
Am I getting too deep?

You look so sweet
When you're smiling
And you're sad
You get so heavy
And when I'm around
You're like a big baby, ohh
And by my sweet thighs
I'm so taken, ohh
Cause I'm, la la la
Yes I'm, I'm so taken
It gets so cold
When you're angry
And I get so numb
When you bekeep swinging
And your cheap shots
Are keeping me from believing, ahh
And by my sweet thighs
I'm still taken
And I'm, la la la
I'm, I'm so taken

Life in a bottle
It feels so comforting
Seems like that's my destiny
Fake what you want
Selective memory
Wrap me up, and set me free
Meet my friend
Held tightly in my hand
Forgetting what I meant to say
Love but to hate
That's just the way it goes
Inch by Inch I sink below
And I love, I love, I love
All my bad company
And I know, I know, I know
that's what's meant to be
So there's nothing let for me to say.
Stoned and demented
Walking through the walls
When I banged my head I slowly fell
Sad but delighted
Swimming in my well
I guess I'm going straight to Hell
And I love, I love, I love
All my bad company
And I know, I know, I know
That's what's meant to be
And I love, I love, I love
All my bad company
So there's nothing let for me to say
No there's nothing let for me to say
And I love, I love, I love
All my bad company
And I know, I know, I know
That's what's meant to be
And I love, I love, I love
All my bad company
So there's nothing let for me to say
No there's nothing let for me to say

Can you see me
In the garden
Watering flowers all night long
Taking care of what you neglected
And I do it with a happy song
Can you feel your guardian angel
Guiding you so patiently
And you wonder if you're in heaven
'cause you move so gracefully
Welcome tomorrow
Where we flow us gently
Didn't we know
Didn't we feel it
The time to seems to stop
Outside our window
And we ride, down the freeway
Hoping to express our religion
To be free
Of everything
With my friends, sitting around drinking
Talking about how life is much too long
How some days everything's just so right
And the next day everything just seems so wrong
Laughing while complaining
But having a good time
it didn't really matter
Welcome tomorrow
Where we flow us gently
At two O'Clock in the morning
The lights go on
It's time for us to go
And the last thing I can remember,
Was an angel guiding us right through the door
Yeah, Yeah
Laughing while complaining
But having a good time
it didn't really matter
it really doesn't matter
Welcome tomorrow
Where we flow us gently
Didn't we know
Didn't we feel it
The time to seems to stop
Outside our window
And we ride, down the freeway
Hoping to express our religion
Didn't we know
Didn't we feel it
The time to seems to stop
Outside our window
And we run down the freeway
Didn't we know
Didn't we feel it
How time it seems to stop
Outside our window
And we run, down the freeway
Hoping to express our religion
To be free, Of everything
Of everything, Yeah

Jesus, I will follow
For each day is forgiving and never alone
As we walk through miles of disbelief
It will be his hand the guides you
Leading you home
He said
You carry on
A new day will come
You carry on
A new day will dawn
I am woman
A mountain I will climb
I've been beat down and I've been broken
But each day I give it another try
Each road we travel
Will show a different life
Sometimes living ain't easy
But Jesus will help you get it right
Will carry on
A new day will come
Will carry on

Have you been told
About the machine man?
His leather gloves
Hide his machine hands
In every dream
In sleep I ever had
I am awoke
By the machine man
Have you been told
About the machine man?
He watches me
With eyes as cold as sand
But when I sleep
I feel him stroke my hand
I am awoke
By the machine man
Machine man
Machine man
Machine man

Famous quotes by Linda Perry:

"There has to be a safety net."

"I'm scared of the interviews, ... I'm scared of having to get up onstage again. I'm scared of the critique. I'm scared right now of doing this again. But that's why I have to do it, I think."

"It went against everything we've come to expect from this decade: cynicism, reduced expectations, fashion. Most importantly, it sounded nothing like 1995."

"It was annoying to me the first time I ever heard it. Mind you, I had to go perform that all the time, and it was miserable for me because I didn't know how to use my voice properly. All I knew was how to be on 100."

"I don't have a genre,"

"Get The Party Started"

"We don't get a lot of those,"

"As we create new Mercury vehicles like the Milan and Mariner Hybrid, we know our customer has a real love of storytelling, ... Working with Landmark Theatres is exciting because it opens up opportunities for us in the world of independent film ... and then gives us a venue to showcase our invigorated brand in very unexpected ways."

"This relationship with Landmark Theatres allows us to reach our target customer in so many creative and entertaining ways, ... It is a perfect fit for the Mercury brand as it reaches out to a new, young, hip audience."

"By the way/How'd I get home?"
