Oh my angel
Sweet sweet angel
Come to me swiftly
This night so still
For dawn does come swiftly
I been gone so long
But your face is so lovely
It keeps my faith strong
My hands are unsteady
I'm so far from home
Just tell me angel
I'm never alone
Lay with me angel
Speak not a word
Your body's so slender
Like the wings of a bird
Fly from me angel
When you see dawn has come
I'll be with you angel
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
Inside my skin there is this space
It twists and turns
It bleeds and aches
Inside my heart there's an empty room
It's waiting for lightning
It's waiting for you
And I am wanting
And I am needing you here
Inside the absence of fear
Muscle and sinew
Velvet and stone
This vessel is haunted
It creaks and moans
My bones call to you
In their separate skin
I make myself translucent
To let you in, for
I am wanting
And I am needing of you here
Inside the absence of fear
there is this hunger
This restlessness inside of me
and it knows that you're no stranger
you're my gravity
My hands will adore you through all darkness aim
They will lay you out in moonlight
And reinvent your name
For I am wanting you
And I am needing you here
I need you near
Walk in a corner shop
See a shoplifting cop
See the old lady with a gun
See the hero try to run
Nothing's what it seems, I mean
It's not all dirty, but it's not all clean
There's children paying bills
There's monks buying thrills
There's pride for sale in magazines
There's pills for rent to make you clean
Marvin Gaye, there's no brother, brother
Woody Guthrie's land can't feed Mother
Mothers weep, children sleep
So much violence ends in silence
It's a shame there's no one to blame
For all the pain that life brings
If you will just take me It might just complete me
And together we can make a stand
A waitress brings me lunch
We meet but do not touch
On TV, D.C. is selling lies
While in the corner, King's dream dies
Go to the counter, pay for me and my friend
A homeless man pulls out a roll, says it's on him
The mayor has no cash
He said he spent it on hookers and hash
Oh, say, can you see,
By the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed
At the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars,
Through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched,
were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare,
the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night
That our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
The shadows are waltzing
The moon beams are calling
Like a dream I am falling into
Silver threads lined with two twinkling stars seem
To shine just for you
Behind your eyes
Are endless blue skies
You travel places I want to come to
Each breath that you breathe is a brush stroke
That leads me to you
So, sleep
Fall into night’s indigo hue
Believe me it’s true
There’s nothing that I would not do
For my dream is sweet dreams for you
It seems far away
but there once was a day
It was grey in a world without you
To this heart like a doll from above
A miracle of your love found me
So, sleep
Fall into night’s indigo hue
Believe me it’s true
There’s nothing that I would not do
For my dream is sweet dreams for you
So hush-a-bye
And don’t you cry
Sweetly dreaming, little baby
Yes, sleep
Lose yourself in night’s indigo hue
Believe me it’s true
There’s nothing that I would not do
For my dream is sweet dreams
We are what everyone wants 2 be
We are young
And carefree
Life's a breeze for people like u and me
If U look
Life lays out just like a road
It's for us 2 grab ahold
There's no one that can tell us no
So come on, baby
Let's just have fun
Let's breathe stardust into our lungs
Let's drive too fast
Let's go too far
When our hearts bleed it lets us know we are-alive
And that we are-doin' fine
We lay down
Look at the sky
From upside down
There's nobody we have 2 be
Let's live fast and see where it leads
Let's get lost
In love like wine
Let kisses quench
This thirst of mine
Let me feel the weight of your skin
Hey little sister I heard you went to Mr. So and So, knock knock knockin on his door
again last night, said you needed it bad-
you know that ain't right
'Cause so many times you've come to me cry-crying
trying to stop. you said it hurts so bad
But please don't let you
go back for more
My little sister is a Zombie in a body
with no soul in a role she has learned to play
in a world today where nothing else matters
but it matters, we gotta start feeding our souls
Not our addiction or afflictions of pain
to avoid the same questions we must
ask ourselves to get any answers
We gotta start feeding our souls
have been lost to the millions with lots
who feed on addiction selling pills and what's hot
I wish I could save her from all their delusions
all the confusion
of of a nation that starves for salvation
but clothing is the closest to approximation
to God and He only knows that drugs
are all we know of love
Every day we starve while we eat white bread
and beer instead of a hadshake or hug
We spill the pills and sweep them
under the rug
My little sister is a Zombie in a body
with no soul in a role she has learned to play
in a world today where nothing else matters
but it matters, we gotta start feeding our souls
Hey little sister I heard you went to Mr. So and So's

Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
When the blazing sun is gone
When he nothing shines upon
Then you show your little light
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night
Then the traveler in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark
He could not see which way to go
If you did not twinkle so
In the dark blue sky you keep
And often through my curtains peep
For you never shut your eye
Till the sun is in the sky
And as your bright and tiny spark
Lights the traveler in the dark
Though I know not what you are
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are
I was thinking that I might fly today
Just to disprove all the things you say
It doesn't take a talent to be mean
Your words can crush things that are unseen
So please be careful with me, I'm sensitive
And I'd like to stay that way.
You always tell me that is impossible
To be respected and be a girl
Why's it gotta be so complicated?
Why you gotta tell me if I'm hated?
So please be careful with me, I'm sensitive
And I'd like to stay that way.
I was thinking that it might do some good
If we robbed the cynics and took all their food
That way what they believe will have taken place
And we can give it to everybody who has some faith
So please be careful with me, I'm sensitive
And I'd like to stay that way.
I have this theory that if we're told we're bad
Then that's the only idea we'll ever have
But maybe if we are surrounded in beauty
Someday we will become what we see
'Cause anyone can start a conflict
it's harder yet to disregard it
I'd rather see the world from another angle
We are everyday angels
Walk down the street
2 a psychedelic beat
I'm a real girl
In an unreal world
Disco lights and buff bodies are nice
I'm like any girl; I enjoy the sights
But I'm no Cinderella 2 your storybook fella
I'm no Barbie doll for your fantasies and all
If u let me be me, I'll be better than your best dream
U and m-e spells l-o-v-e 2 me
Come on, baby, won't u crash into me?
I'm like nothing that you've ever seen
Dynamite,
I'll blow your mind
Guaranteed 2 mesmerize
You'll say, "Ooh la, la, la"
Old Spice is nice
But sweat is better
E-mail is cool
But romance lives in a letter
Batteries are fine, but I'm
Energized all the time
Running fast through a fairy tale
Dark woods; starless night
Feel cold air in my lungs
Full moon, u follow me-u say
"Why do hearts so often stray?"
U pierce me like an arrow
Beneath the blanket of night
Longing for flight
When u fall into me
It feels so sweet, like dreaming
Press yourself into me
Let me feel your breathing
There's a voice in your heart
Softly calling
Come 2 me u will see, just give in
2 this sweet temptation
I awake, do a double take 2 see
Where it is that I lay-it could be
Day or night, I'm not quite sure
Your absence is a thorn
Your flesh, your skin
Is the only flag there is 2 believe in
I can love u like nobody else
When u fall into me
It feels so sweet, like dreaming
Press yourself into me
Let me feel your breathing
There's a voice in your heart
She's an ugly girl, does it make you want to kill her?
She's an ugly girl, do you want to kick in her face?
She's an ugly girl, she doesn't pose a threat.
She's an ugly girl, does she make you feel safe?
Ugly girl, ugly girl, do you hate her
'Cause she's pieces of you?
She's a pretty girl, does she make you think nasty
thoughts?
She's a pretty girl, do you want to tie her down?
She's a pretty girl, do you call her a bitch?
She's a pretty girl, did she sleep with your whole town?
Pretty girl, pretty girl, do you hate her
'Cause she's pieces of you?
You say he's a faggot, does it make you want to hurt him?
You say he's a faggot, do you want to kick in his brain?
You say he's a faggot, does he make you sick to our
stomach?
You say he's a faggot, are you afraid you're just the
same?
Faggot, Faggot, do you hate him
'Cause he's pieces of you?
You say he's a Jew, does it mean that he's tight?
You say he's a Jew, do you want to hurt his kids tonight?
You say he's a Jew, he'll never wear that funny hat
again.
You say he's a Jew, as though being born were a sin.
Oh Jew, oh Jew, do you hate him
I watch you while you're sleeping
Messy hair, chest bare
Moonlight on your skin
I wanna breathe you in
In the silence words come easy
I can tell you now just how simple it's been
To let you in
Don't move this mood is a painting
We'll never find the same thing
Love do not make a sound
Melt into me now
Two become one
Love is so close to hurting
With a shake we could wake
From our own dreaming
We must make a vow
'Cause I have waited a lifetime
Now is the right time
Love do not make a sound
Melt into me now
Two become one
Like a bird owns it's wings
Like song belongs to melody
You belong to me
I fold your arms around me
Let you flesh, your breath, your love surround me
Oh you feel like home
Love do not make a sound
Melt into me now
Two become one
Oh let's make time stand still
Let this moment last until
Two become one
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Oohhhh
Barcelona where the winds all blew
And the churches don't have windows but the graveyards do
Me and my shadow are wrestling a gain
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 I am alone
Won't somebody please hold me, release me
Show me the meaning of mercy
Let me loose
Fly, let me fly, let me fly
Super paranoid, I'm blending, I'm blurring, I'm bleeding into the scenery
Loving someone else is always so much easier
But I hole my self hostage in the morror
But If you could hear the voice in my heart it would tell you
I'm tired of feeling this way
God, won't you please hold me, release me
show me the meaning of mercy
Let me loose
Let me fly, let me fly
I won't be held down, I wont be held back
I will lead with my faith
The red light had been following me
But don't worry mother
It's no longer my gravity
hold me, release me
Show me the meaning of mercy
Mary heard boys talking in voices low
Said she weren't no spring chicken
Like she didn't already know
So she called up Jack from a few years back
She turned him down once in his one room shack
She said "Now baby, you don't look that bad"
Cuz everybody needs someone sometime
Everybody needs someone, can't you see?
Everybody needs someone sometime
Spivy Leaks was a drip of a man
He looked like a potato shoved into jeans
He recollects it wasn't that long ago
That he could walk by
Make the young girls scream
But he thought he'd just let it all slide
Let it all pass
Cuz he thought love was best on the run
He said "Now baby, it don't seem that fun"
Hey there honeybee
Will you give me...sugar?
And if you shake real cute
I might give you some sugar
I was doin' alright on my own
Now I might just take you home sugar
Sister Mary used to be a nun
She thought that she'd retire and have her some fun
Mr. Joe of the Philadelphia Joes
Well he walked in the post office one night
You find yourself falling down
Your hopes in the sky
But your heart like grape gum on the ground
And you try to find yourself
In the abstractions of religion
And the cruelty of everyone else
And you wake up to realize
Your standard of living somehow got stuck on survive
When you're standing in deep water
And you're bailing yourself out with a straw
And when you're drowning in deep water
And you wake up making love to a wall
Well it's these little times that help to remind
It's nothing without love
You wake up to realize your only friend
Has never been yourself or anybody who cared in the end
That's when suddenly everything fades or falls away
'Cause the chains which once held us are only the
chains which we've made
When you're standing in deep water
And you're bailing yourself out with a straw
And when you're drowning in deep water
And you wake up making love to a wall
Well it's these little times that help to remind
It's nothing without love, love, love
It's nothing without love
We've compromised our pride
And sacrificed out health
We have to demand more
Not of each other
But more from ourselves
"Cause when you're standing in deep water
And you're bailing yourself out with a straw
When you're drowning in deep water
And you wake up making love to a wall
Well it's these little times that help to remind
It's nothing without love, love, love
It's nothing without love
Don't walk too close
Don't breathe so soft
Don't talk so sweet
Don't sing
Don't lay oh so near
Please don't let me fall in love with you again
Please let me forget
all those sweet smiles
all of the passion
all of the heat, the peace, the pain
all those blue skies
where your words were my freedom
Please, don't let me fall in love with you again
Too many times
I've cared too much
I stood on the edge
and say that you held my hand
and knowing too well
I couldn't hide from those eyes
I haven't been out lately
There's too much going on
My friends say I'll go crazy
If I don't get out and have some fun
So I put on my best dress
I confess, felt good I gotta say
I stepped into the dance hall
What I saw took my breath away
Anyone but you
Anyone but you
I was hoping I would run into
Anyone but you
Through the smoke and neon
I saw you look my way
Here come those same old feelings
I thought had gone away
But I know that I am strong
And as the night draws on
Should you ask to take me home
I'm sure that I'll say no to…
Anyone but you
Anyone but you
I was hoping I would run into
Anyone but you
I'd like to fall into your arms
With all your charms
But we both know how that would end
It would end with me crying
And you leaving again
Anyone but you
Anyone but you
I was hoping I would run into
Was hoping I would run into
I will meet you
In some place
Where the light lends itself
To soft repose
I will let you undress me
But I warn you
I have thorns
Like any rose
And you could hurt me
With your bare hands
You could hurt me
With with the sharp end
Of what you say
But I'm lost to you now
And there's no
Amount of reason
That could save me
So break me
Take me
Just let me
Feel your arms again
Break me
I'll let you make me
Just let me
Feel your love again
Feels like being underwater
Now that I've let go
And lost control
Water kisses fill my mouth
Water fills my soul
So break me
Take me
Just let me
Feel your arms again
Break me
Make me
Just let me
Feel your love again
Kiss me once
Well, maybe twice
Oh, it never felt so nice
So break me
Take me
Let me
Feel your arms again
Break me
Make me
Just let me
Feel your arms again
Just let me
i wonder as i wander
out under the sky
how Jesus the savior
did come to die
to save lowly people
like you and like i
i wonder as i wander
out under the sky
when Jesus was born
it was in a cow's stall
with shepherds and wise men
and angels and all
the blessings of Christmas
from heaven did fall
and the weary world woke
Turn to me with frozen lips
Your hands are icy cold
Your eyes burn bright
Against the frost lit sky
You never seemed more lovely than you do tonight
Pale on the horizon
Like leaves frozen in the snow
Two bodies merging seperately
Time stands still
If it's pierced with cold
Chorus:
The Moonlight hears
The Moonlight knows
What's simple is true
And I love you
There's a warmth in my heart
It haunts me when you're gone
Mend me to your side
And never let go
Time knows nothing
We'll never grow cold
The Moonlight hears
The Moonlight knows
What's simple is true
And I love you
The twilight descends
On our sillouhettes
How soon Spring comes
How soon Spring forgets
I wanna stop time
Say "It'll never begin"
Old Man Winter be our friend
Old Man Winter be our friend
The Moonlight hears
The Moonlight knows
What's simple is true
What's simple is true
And I love you
---------------
October '97 Version
Turn to me with frozen lips
Your hands are icy cold
Your eyes so blue
Against the frost lit sky
You never looked more lovely than you do tonight
Pale on the horizon
Like leaves frozen in the snow
Two shadows merging seperately
Time stands still
Its pierced with cold
Chorus:
The Moonlight hears
The Moonlight knows
Its simple
Its true
And I love you
There's warmth in my heart
It haunts me when you're gone
Mend me to your side
And never let me go
Time knows nothing
And it'll never grow cold
The Moonlight hears
The Moonlight knows
Its simple
Its true
And I love you
Twilight descends
On our sillouhette
How soon Spring comes
How soon Spring forgets
I once talked of time
Saying "It'll never begin"
Old Man Winter be our friend
Old Man Winter be our friend
The Moonlight hears
The Moonlight knows
Its simple
Its true
You're mothers' child
but night lays you down
hair aflame, wile look in your eye
Naked belly to the ground
A forest fire
Nibbles at your veins
Crawls up your arm
runs away with your mind
And burns dry thoughts like leaves
Amen
Eyes stare up
but something's in the way
In the Bible only angels have wings
And the rest must wait to be saved
A dry tongue
Screams at the sky
But the wind just breathes words in
As a strange bird tries to fly
Amen
Pieces of us die everyday
As though our flesh were hell
Such injustice, as children we are told
That from God we fell.
Where are my angels?
Where's my golden one?
Where's my hope
now that my heroes have gone?
Some are being beaten
Some are being born.
And some can't tell the difference anymore
Amen
Hallelujah
I watch u while you're sleeping
Messy hair, chest bare, moonlight on your skin
I wanna breathe u in
In the silence, words come easy
I can tell u now just how simple it's been 2 let u in
Don't move, this mood is a painting
We'll never find the same thing
Love, do not make a sound
Melt into me now
2 become 1
Love is so close 2 hurting
With a shake we could wake from our own dreaming
But we must make a vow
'Cause I have waited a lifetime
Now is the right time
Love, let's make time stand still
Let this moment last until
2 become 1
Like a bird owns its wings
Like a song belongs 2 melody
U belong 2 me
I fold your arms around me
Let your flesh, your breath, your love, surround me

If u want my heart
U have 2 promise not 2 tear it apart
'Cause my heart
Has been hurt a lot
And it always seems
Love is not sweet, like in dreams
Something falls through
But I don't want that 2 happen 2 me and u
So be
Careful, warning
Fragile heart
Last Saturday
We ate dinner at your parents' place
Last Saturday, u said
How u feel will not go away
Well, all the fishes in the sea
Could not be happier than me
Only fools believe that
Nothing changes, nothing leaves
But I need 2 believe that we at least
Will have some dignity
'Cause everything changes
Nothing stays the same
But that's no excuse 2 be casual
Or 2 place the blame
It's leaving time again
I'm headed out
With all my friends
It's a roll of the dice
I've never thought twice
About the way
I've been spending my time
Trying my guts out
For every dime
Working in an
Office building tall
You don't know
Who's next to you at all
But being out here
The blood, the guts, the beer
Is a test
Only time will tell
It brings you close, man
Closer than hell
We're leaving
Leaving again
Can't recall
Where are we've been
I guess we'll just go
Go till we're too old
Or we run out of road
The other day
I talked to Lou
He quit back in 92
Says he misses it bad
Those were the best time
He ever had
He said
"Give it hell to the end
'Cause once you quit
You can't get it back again"
We're leaving
Leaving again
Can't recall
Where are we've been
I guess we'll just go
Go till we're too old
Or we run out of road
Expensive cabs
And sh*tty food
Washed down
With cancelled flights
Missed wake-up calls, missed holidays
You miss your boy and wife
Oh the late night drives
The calls
The dawn to strike you
Like a knife
Hey man
This is a beautiful life
We're leaving
Leaving again
We're leaving
Leaving again
Can't recall
Where are we've been
I guess we'll just go
Go till we're too old
Or we run out of road
We're leaving
Leaving again
Can't recall
Where are we've been
I guess we'll just go
Go till we're too old

Met her on a friday afternoon
In a neon dayglo pink
Chiffon satin room
She never looks back
She always looked good
Dressed in black
And she says oh
Do you want to play?
She lived beneath the
Disco discount store
With pictures of Randy Newman
Scattered all across the floor
I said "This place
Looks sort of desolate"
She said
"Are you only half alive?
Or have you always
Been this inarticulate?"
Do you want to play?
Don't think too hard
Don't think too fast
Don't ever give away
What you can't take back
Don't try to understand
What you can't comprehend
Underneath the disco neon
Daylight chandeleir
Disco diety of the chivalry
I said "Take it back
Take it back
Take it back"
Do you want to play?
I say to myself
Self, why are you awake again? It's one a.m.
Standing with the fridge door wide open, staring
Such a sight, florescent light
The stars are bright
Might make a wish, if I believed in that shit
As it is, I might watch TV
Cause it's nice to see people more messed up than me
I say to myself, as I smile at the wall, let myself fall
It's gonna be all right, no matter what they say
It's gonna be a good day, just wait and see
It's gonna be okay, cause I'm okay with me
It's gonna be, it's gonna be, it's gotta be
I shiver, shut the door
Can't think standing here no more
I'm alone, my mine's racing, heart breaking
Can you be everything I need you to be?
Can you protect me like a daughter?
Can you love me like a father?
Can you drink me like water?
Say I'm like the desert, just hotter.
The point of it all
Is that if I should fall
Still you're name I'll call
It's gonna be all right, no matter what they say
It's gonna be a good day, just wait and see
It's gonna be okay, cause I'm okay with me
It's gonna be, it's gonna be
As long as we laugh out loud
Laugh like we're mad
Cause this crazy, mixed up beauty is all that we have
Because what's love but an itch we can't scratch, a joke we can't catch
But still we laugh
I go back upstairs, turn off the TV
You say "I'll be okay baby, just wait and see."
It's gonna be all right, it's gonna be okay
Gonna be a good day, just wait, just see
Gonna okay, cause I'm okay with me
I will come 2 u
In the still of the night
And I will crush u
With the burden of sight
And u will understand
The shadows in my heart
The fury of my conviction
Will cause your heart 2 quicken
And then, my dear
U will see u want me here
And when u wake up
U will see yourself through my eyes
And when u break up
You'll understand
Why it is I cry
Let me speak quietly
So your heart can hear
I will hypnotize and mesmerize u
With the sound of your own fear
I just wanna get along
This is your song
I wrote it in my head
But the melody's all wrong
And it's driving me crazy
Not having u, baby
2 keep me company
In my own private world
You're my one true girl
And I won't be stoppin' Just 'cause your knees are knockin'
When I decide 2 drop in
So don't make a sound
'Cause there's no one around
2 come between us now
I called you late last night
Said you didn't feel like talkin'
Had to blow off a little bit of steam
Said you were tired of feeling so up-tight
You make me so blue
Oh, I get so lost inside of you, but
I can not always find my way
To where you are
Oh, used to be so easy
Use to be so much fun
You say (yea) that was back when you belived in my love, but that
Things are not so simple now
Oh, I've turned off the lights somehow, and
In the darkness you cannot always find your way
To where I am
Please don't
Take your lights from me
'Cause of you did
I would no longer be able to see
Please, can't you see
I need, you
I am a princess and I'm locked inside this stone tower of song, and I
I'm trying to write messages on the wondow baby, God I just wanna belong
Choose me
Choose me
Pick me, take me, oh I need to believe
Oh, no one else exsits for you now, and
No one else exsists for me
Oh, you are my home, and I have
Finally found my way
Mirror, mirror
Do you like
What you see?
I'll dance for you
If you dance for me
Who says a woman
Cannot serve?
It would be my pleasure
Who says it is
Not my destiny
To let you control me?
Underneath the disco light
Everybody's feelin' all right
Get on your hands and knees
And praise the new deity
Serve the ego
Serve the ego
Two ships sailing
On a neon sea
Eat the flesh
Spit out the seeds
Feathered hair
And lame heels
What turns me on
Is so surreal
Underneath the disco light
Everybody's feelin' all right
Get on your hands and knees
And praise the new deity
Serve the ego
Serve the ego
Tut tut, oh, to discover oh
Oh no, you're yesterday's lover
Underneath the disco light
Everybody's feelin' all right
Get on your hands and knees
And praise the new deity
Serve the ego
I am talking but you can't quite hear what I say
I come closer
but you push me away
I should leave
but I don't have the strength
I can't think
Please can't you see that I am down on my knees
My heart's in you hand
and you squeeze
I want the whole thing
but you give me a part
it's time to start
so I push and you pull
and I don't know which way to go
Stop Me, Stop me from falling
cause I can see
then I'll love you only
when I am the only one, too
I just can't make you understand
I want your heart but you hold up your hand
you say space is what you need
but you want me
to be true
to just you
while you get to do whatever you want to
You'll never stop
it's gotta change
you don't want a lover
you want a world of slaves
I can't resist falling into those arms
those boyish charms
you think I won't leave
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?
Listen dear
I need you to hear.
I cannot disappear
I've tried again and again and again.
I know we said
That we'd give up
You said we'd had enough
Again and again and again.
But you, you're always on my mind.
It's like this all the time.
Say it's cause you're mine
All mine...
And if you will, I will
Try to let it go.
And if you try, I'll try
Try to let it show us the way
'Cause love is here to stay
Just look me in the eye
This is do or die
And I will stay in love
'Till you say enough
There is no giving in
There is no giving up in love.
Walk down the street
Stare at lots of things
The fast and steady streams
Again and again and again.
Do what I should
Try to stay busy
Your face is all I see
Again and again and again.
But you, you're always on my mind.
It's like this all the time.
Say it's cause you're mine
All mine...
And if you will, I will
Try to let it go.
And if you try, I'll try
Try to let it show us the way
'Cause love is here to stay
Just look me in the eye
This is do or die
And I will stay in love
'Till you say enough
There is no giving in
There is no giving up in love.
Like a movie I once saw
In the darkness I recall
Feeling the beauty and the pain
And when you call my name
Say you feel the same.
Cause' if you will, I will
Try to let it go
And if you try, I'll try
Try to let it show.
And if you will, I will
Try to let it go
And if you try, I'll try
Try to let it show us the way
'Cause love is here to stay
Just look me in the eye
This is do or die
And I will stay in love
'Til you say enough
There is no giving in
There is no giving up in love
In love, in love
We're in love
I cannot disappear...
here's a little bird somebody sent
Down to the Earth to live on 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, she's 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 dies.
Please love let's make no impartial vow
Let all fall away
That's not crucial now
I want to brave love, one that makes me weak in the knees
I want a crazy, crazy love
One that makes me come undone at the seams
'Cause I'm tired of all these pilgrims, these puritans, these thieves
Of all these unbelievers
who whittle love down at the knees
Let these swift roads destroy themselves
Let the world fall into its sleep
For we shall be spared
We shall be left standing
To face what's left of concrete and honey
Kiss the flame
Let's run with the hunted, the untamed
Kiss the flame
Embrace the faceless, the unnamed
Kiss the flame
There are nightmares on the sidewalks
There are rude jokes on TV
There are people selling thoughtlessness
with such casualty
But wherefore art thou Romeo
where have all the brave men gone
Show me one man who know his own heart
To him I shall belong
Kiss the flame
Let's run with the hunted, the untamed
Kiss the flame
Embrace the faceless, the unnamed
Kiss the flame
Kiss the flame
Kiss the flame
Went 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
I wanna tell you everything
I wanna make your toes curl
You be my only boy
And I'll be your only girl
There's not much I can say
You're in Cleveland today
You're in Cleveland today
Stewardesses like Cosmo magazine
Vogue makes me nervous I feel so plain
I could the world fearlessly
If you would face it here with me
Just our four hands and four eyes
Traffic cops would compromise
I wanna tell you everything
I wanna make your toes curl
You be my only boy
And I'll be your only girl
There's not much I can say
You're in Cleveland today
You're in Cleveland today
Daffodils and roulette wheels and rusty automobiles
Somewhere our things share the same window sill
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 fights so vain
I wanna pilot a plane with you
So all our problems look small, too
It's only an inch from me to you
Depending on what map you use
I wanna tell you everything
I wanna make your toes curl
You be my only boy
And I'll be your only girl
There's not much I can say
Cuz you're in Cleveland today
Oh, you're in Cleveland today
Let the phone ring, let's go back to sleep
Let the world spin outside out door, you're the only one that I wanna see
Tell your boss you're sick, hurry, get back in I'm getting cold
Get over here and warm my hands up, boy, it's you they love to hold
And stop thinking about what your sister said
Stop worrying about it, the cat's already been fed
Come on darlin', let's go back to bed
Put the phone machine on hold
Leave the dishes in the sink
Do not answer the door
It's you that I adore-
I'm gonna give you some more
We'll sit on the front porch, the sun can warm my feet
You can drink your coffee with sugar and cream
I'll drink my decaf herbal tea
Pretend we're perfect strangers and that we never met...
My how you remind me of a man I used to sleep with
that's a face I'd never forget
You can be Henry Miller and I'll be Anais Nin
Except this time it'll be even better,
We'll stay together in the end
Come on darlin', let's go back to bed
Put the phone machine on hold
Leave the dishes in the sink
do not answer the door
For you, the poor man's wife
People living their lives for you on TV
Say they're better than you, you agree
She says "Hold my calls" from behind those cold brick
walls
Says "Come here boy, there ain't nothing for free"
Another doctors bill, a layers bill, another cute cheap
thrill, you know you love him if you put him in your
will
Who will save your soul when it comes to the flowers
now?
Who will save your soul after all those lies you told,
Who will save your soul if you won't save your own?
ladi dida dada dadida
We try to hustle them, try to bustle them, try to cuss
them
The cops want someone to bust down on Orleans Avenue
Another day, another dollar, another war, another tower
Went up where the homeless had their homes
So we pray to as many different gods as there are
flowers
But we call religion our friend
We're so worried about saving our souls
Afraid that God will take His toll
That we forget to begin, but
Who will save your soul when it comes to the flowers
now,
Who will save your soul after all those lies you told,
Who will save your soul if you won't save your own?
ladi dida dada dadida
Some are walking, some are talking, some are stalking
their kill
You got social security, but it doesnt pay your bills
There's addictions to feed and there are mouths to pay
So you bargain with the Devil, say you're o.k. for
today,
You say that you love them, take their money and run
Say it's been swell, sweetheart, but it was just one of
those things, those flings, those strings you got to
So get out on the streets, girls, and bust you butts
Who will save you soul when it comes to the memories
Who will save you soul after all the lies that you
told, boy
Who will save your soul if you won't save you own?

Adrian came home again last summer
Things just haven't been the same around here
People talk
People stare
Oh, Adrian, come out and play
An unfortunate accident in a canoe
Dr. said, 'I'm sorry not much I can do'
The air was so still
His eyes did not blink
Oh, Adrian, come out and play
Little Mary Epperson liked him and
She vowed always to watch after him
Still he did not move
Dr. said it's no use
Oh, Adrian, come out and play
She sat by his side,and watched the years fly by
He looked so fragile, he looked so small and
She wondered why he was still alive at all
Everyone in town had that 'I'm sorry look'
They talked in a whispered hush, said
'I'd turn the machines off'
But still she sat by his side
Said,she said 'Life he won't be denied
Oh, Adrian, come out and play
Yellow flowers decorate his bedroom
Sign above his door says 'Welcome Home'
But he just sits and stares
He's awake but he's still not there
Oh, Adrian, come out and play
She sat by his side,and watched the years fly by
He looked so fragile, he looked so small and
She wondered why he was still alive at all
Little Mary Epperson grew up lovely and
She still comes to visit him on Sundays
He's like an unused toy
He's got big hands but the mind of a little boy
Oh, Adrian, come out and play
Adrian came home again last summer
All through the night I'll be watching over you
And all through the night I'll be standing over you
And through bad dreams I'll be right there baby
Holding your hand
telling you everything's going to be alright
When you cry I'll be there baby telling you
You were never nothing less than beautiful
So don't you worry
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
I guess you could say I'm one of those girls
That's always been with one of those guys
You know the type
Like right now, he sleeps while I write
But it's better than crying
I'm worn out from trying
From loving a man who always makes it clear
I'm not welcome here
Just when he's hungry or frisky
or needs something cleaned
And you know what I mean
But not tonight
'Cause come the morning light, oh
I'm gonna love myself more than anyone else
Believe in me, even if someone can't see
The stronger woman in me
I'm going to be my own best friend
Stick with me till the end
Won't lose myself again, never, no,
'Cause there's a stronger woman,
A stronger woman in me
Light bulbs buzz,
I get up
And head to my drawer
I wish there was more
I could say
Another fairytale fades to gray
I've lived on hope
Just like a child
Walking that mile
Faking that smile
All the while
Wishing my heart had wings
Well from now on I'm going to be
The kind of woman I'd want my daughter to be, oh
I'm gonna love myself more than anyone else
Believe in me, even if someone can't see
A stronger woman in me
I'm gonna be my own best friend
Stick with me till the end
I won't lose myself again, never, no
'Cause there's a stronger woman,
A stronger woman
This is me, packing up my bags
And this is me, headed for the door
And this is me, the best you ever had
I'm going to love myself
More than anyone else
Believe in me even if someone cannot see
There's a stronger woman in me
I'm going to be my own best friend
Stay with me till the end
Won't lose myself again, never, no
'Cause there's a stronger woman
A stronger woman
There's a stronger woman,
A stronger woman in me,
