1.1,000 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.


2.501 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


3.A Housewife's Revenge

Seems like that man took my heart
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


4.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


5.Abcd(All Of The Above)

It's not a, do i love you
It's not b, do i love to hold you
It's not c, do i care for you
It's just d, all of the above


6.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

La la la la
La la da da laaah


7.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


8.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


9.All The Animals

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


10.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'


11.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


12.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


13.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


14.Behind The Wall

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


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.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


17.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


18.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


19.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.


20.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


21.Circle Song(With You I Will Always Be)

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


22.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


23.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？


24.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

25.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
You're on cruise control


26.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


27.Dance Between Two Women

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？


28.Dancing Barefoot

She is benediction
She is addicted to he
She is the root connection
She is connecting with me

Here i go and 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 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
Oh god, i fell for you


29.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


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


31.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

32.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


33.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


34.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


35.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
Getting all
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 urin
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 ？？？
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

36.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.


37.Fly To Me Angel(Aka Sweet Sweet Angel)

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
Yodel--ohh--tii-oie--de--you--ahh
Ahhhh ooooo


38.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


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)


39.Fragile Flame

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

Fat boy says 'wouldn't it be nice, if i could mealt myself like
ice or

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

40.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

41.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 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

42.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


43.Have A Little Faith In Me

when the road gets dark
And you can no longer see
Just let my love throw a spark, baby
Have a little faith in me

When the tears you cry
Are all you can believe
Just give these loving arms a try, baby
Have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me

When your secret heart
Cannot speak so ＊easily＊
Come here darlin'
From a whisper start
To have a little faith in me

When your back's against the wall
Just turn around, you will see
I will catch ya, i will catch your fall
Just have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me

Well, i've been loving you for such a long, long time baby
Expecting nothing in return
Just for you to have a little faith in me
You see time, time is our friend ＊for you and me＊
Cause for us there is no end
All you gotta do is have a little faith in me
I said i will hold you up, i will hold you up
Your strength gives me enough
So have a little faith in me
Hey baby, oh, baby
All ya gotta do is have a little faith in me
All ya gotta do is have a little faith in me
A little faith in me


44.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


45.His Pleasure Is My Pain

A man stands in the doorway like a small child
Angry fists
She lies on her bed her head buried in her pillow
And she stares at the moon
He speaks to her all the words shes heard too many times before
And pretty soon she just let's his voice fade away

And she thinks...

This was a gradual steel frost
That started with cold feet
And ended with numb hearts

This was once satisfying sex but now no longer is

It was once filled with the possibilities of new china or old
stone
But now it's exagerated and waterlogged no longer what these
Hands had
Intended and still i cry in my sleep

He always said i was too sensitive,

But i say

(chorus)

At least i never meant to make him cry.
At least i never meant to make him hurt that way
Nooo i never meant to make him cry
Never meant to make him hurt that way

Yes it's true, i'm too senstive
But he takes pleasure in my pain.
Yes it's true, i'm too senstive
But he takes pleasure in my pain.

And the unheard hours they fly by
She goes to the window
She puts on a nightgown and brushes her hair
He's already asleep
By the time she

Goes and lays herself back down.
She thinks

My god, what am i doing hear？

My bones have grown tired of his hunger, of his gray eyes,
And i feel if i were to stay one more night here i'd die or
explode
Or worse yet just fade away.
There have been days so dark that i felt like august
And that i soon too would turn to fall.
He always said i was too sensitive that if i cared so much
The world could kill me that way.
I wonder if he's only half alive or if he's simply always been
this
Inarticulate,
Cause i say

And she get's out of bed and looks at her feet as though they
Were the wings for her freedom
She gets up and goes to the door
It's a moment in which anything can happen
Instead she gets out some clothing
Puts it in a bag and leaves him sleeping
While she heads for the door.


46.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


47.Chime Bells

Key：
Y - yodel
Ly - long yodel
Rly - really long yodel

Up on a mountain so gay and so free..huh huh
There is a young man and he's waiting there for me
Out on the lake, we'll drift with the tide
And hear those chime bells ring

Chime bells are ringing...y
Mockingbirds they're singing...y
Hush, little lover...y
Up on a summer's eve or eave...
Ly

Moonbeams were shining as i kissed him there. (kiss)
Nightbirds were singing and darkness filled the air
Each little star that twinkled above
Was heaven that smiled on our love

Chime bells are ringing...y
Mockingbirds they're singing...y
Hush, little lover...y
Up on a summer's eve...
Rly
Rly (faster)
Should i go faster？
Rly (even faster)
Rly (faster still, usually a capella)

48.I Don Care

Good-bye baby, i don think i l be seeing you again
Good-bye baby, we l say that we e still friends
Even though i know i love nobody else
And even though i know, i say to myself
That this time i leaving and i now that we e through and i don
Love you
And that i just don care

I just so tired of being another statistic on tv
The classic case of i love him, but he just don love me

So this time i going to be the one to say it the end
This time i gonna be my own best friend
And i going to save some love, some love for myself
I'll kiss you all serious, it might help
And that i just don care

I don care
So many times, i tried to tell myself
That this love would work, if i just gave up some more love for
myself
I believed if i just quite my crying, you start your trying,
leave
Your lying
But i believe if i just walked away, i could say
I don care
Don care

You were always the cool one, you stood by the backdoor
You said 'you know, leaving sorta makes you look good'
But this time i swear it the best you l ever see of me

So this time i going to be the one to say it the end
This time i gonna be my own best friend
And i going to save some love, some love for myself
I l (kiss you all serious in hell)？？？
And that i just don care

I don care
So many times, i tried to tell myself
That this love would work, if i just gave up some more love for
myself
I believed if i just quite my crying, you start your trying,
leave
Your lying
But i believe if i just walked away, i could say
I don care
Don care

＊skat over two-line verse and refrain

So good-bye baby, i don think i l be seeing you again


49.I Hate Valentine's Day

Valentine's day
Wish i had a sweetheart
It's valentine's day
Didn't even get a stinkin' card
It's valentine's day
I just have to say
I hate valentine's day

It's valentine's day
And i didn't get no chocolate
It's valentine's day
If i had a heart i'd hock it
It's valentine's day
All i have to say
I hate valentine's day

It's valentine's day
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


50.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


51.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.


52.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

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 charity

Your love is a bitter seed that only the blind can see

54.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.


55.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


56.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

57.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


58.Just So Happens

Just so happens that i tired of your face
Just so happens that i tired of this place
Just so happens that i can not endure
The pain and the suffering that caused when i touch you anymore

Just so happens that i tired of this song
Cuz everything i ever tried to do just came out wrong
And every honest thing i ever tried to do
Was turned to pain and misery when laid before the godly feet of
you

There no words left to say
Cuz all the words between us have already gone away

It just so happens that my flesh is turning pale
And pieces of me are disappearing as though my hands were whales
And it just so happens beauty, you could never recognize
And i simply faded away, before your eyes

Just so happens that these last two years
Been a completely meaningless waste of my tears
And if i had a toothpick for every vow you made
I build a boat of your promises, and i sail away

＊chorus

Just so happens it take a swift kick to the heart
To make you take back everything that you said
Just so happens that we stuck around too long
We should have abandoned ship, rather than go down with it, now
it
Gone

Just so happens that i hate your mother-in-law
And i hate your dog, henry, i like to fondle him with a saw
Just so happens that i walking out the door
And p.s., and by the way, i don love you anymore

There no words left to say
Cuz all the words between us have already gone,
They e already gone
They e already gone away


59.Kiss Your Ass

What time should i pick you up tonight
To make me seem more selectable
What kind of flowers should i bring your mother
To make me seem more delectable

I got no problem with family events
I like lemonade, camping, kids, and tents
I'll do anything you ask
No matter the task
My whole purpose on earth
Is just to
Kiss your ass

What kind of drugs should i take tonight
To make me seem like i'm introverted
What kind of porn mags should i bring your brother
To make me seem like i'm still perverted

I got no problem with family events
I like lemonade, camping, kids, and tents
I'll do anything you ask
No matter the task
My whole purpose on earth
Is just to
Kiss your ass
Teach me something i don't know
But i swear i'll be something someday
I strain my ears listening too hard to what you say
How then ？？ time should i cruise your block
On my tiny red tricycle
Screaming your name sweet heart in vain
This ？？ ？？ has got me in a pickle

I got no problem with family events
I like lemonade, camping, kids, and tents
I'll do anything you ask
No matter the task
？？？？？
You'll be promiscuous
And i'll be ？？
Cuz my whole purpose on earth
My whole purpose on earth
My whole purpose on earth
My whole purpose on earth
My whole purpose on earth
Is just to kiss your ass


60.Lasciatemi Morire

Lasciatemi morire
Lasciatemi morire
E chi volete
Voi che mi conforte
In cosi dura sorte
In cosi gran martire
Lasciatemi morire
Lasciatemi morire
E chi volete
Voi che mi conforte
In cosi dura sorte
In cosi gran martire
Lasciatemi morire
Lasciatemi morire

Translation：
Let me die, let me die
Why do you want to console me
In such a bitter fate？
In such a great torment？
Let me die, let me die...


61.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.


62.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......


63.Let Them In

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

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

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


64.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


65.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


66.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.

67.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
(line may not be sung- end with 'changing...'


68.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


69.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)


70.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


71.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
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.

72.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


73.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.

74.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


75.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


76.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


77.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.


78.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.


79.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


80.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


81.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.

83.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.


84.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)


85.Satellite

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
Mistakes are allowed when you're a
Satellite

You can't hold back a satellite
Satellite

Babies on beach blankets headed for mars


86.See Sassy

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 a lover？
See sassy wake up she's alone？
See sassy wake up she's alone


87.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


88.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？


Repeat refrain. (x2)


89.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.


90.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.'


91.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


92.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


93.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


94.Styrofoam Dream

Oh, buttercup
...lives in a cup...
She lost her scream
In a styrofoam dream
And the white horse came
To take her away
But it stepped on her little toe...
...thank you...


95.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


96.Summertime

Summertime
An' the livin is easy.
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high.
Oh yo' daddy's rich
An' yo' ma ain't ugly
So hush, little baby,
Don' yo' cry.
One of these mornin's you goin' to rise up singin',
Then you'll spread yo' tiny itty bitty wings an' you'll take the
Sky.
But till that mornin'
There's a nothin' can harm you
With mammy an' daddy standin' by


97.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...


98.Swedish Song(Wolf＆Dolphin)

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
Morning wakes／we awaken in the morning
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


99.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.


100.The Water Is Wide

Lyrics：Trad
Music：Trad

The water is wide and I can't cross over
Neither have I wings to fly
Build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row my love and I

Oh love is gentle, love is kind
Gay as a jewel when first it's new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like morning dew

There is a ship and it sails on the sea
Loaded deep as deep can be
But not as deep as the love I'm in
I know not if I sink or swim

The water is wide and I can't cross over
Neither have I wings to fly
Build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row my love and I
And both shall row my love and I
