Paper Girl
02:15
|
|||
It's three A. M. and I don't know why I'm crying
I hold your warmth to my face like a phantom limb
I hold myself upright I am strong
but today I'm a paper girl in an iron dress
I see you laying there like death on Sunday morning
strangely comforted by the cigarette burnin in your hand
I look away and I look back I look away and I look back
and i see a paper girl burning
TImes like this I wonder what I what I'm lookin for
As my clothes are falling to the floor
I look in your eyes, I watch your mouth I follow your gaze
and I see it's not here what this paper girl is looking for.

Good feeling
Won't you stay with me just a little longer
It always seems like your leaving
When I need you here just a little longer
Dear lady there's so many things
That I have come to fear
Little voice says I'm going crazy
To see all my worlds disappear
Vague sketch of a fantasy
Laughing at the sunrise
Like he's been up all night
Ooh slippin' and slidin'
What a good time but now
Have have to find a bed
That can take this wait
Good feeling
Won't you say stay with me just a little longer
It always seems like your leaving
When I know the other one
Just a little too well
Oh dear lady
Won't you stay with me just a little longer
Why does it always seems like your leaving
When I need you here just a little longer

Rub me Raw
02:30
|
|||
Honey I lose
Honey I lose my bearings
I just want uninterrupted sleep, sweetness
boiled down to blandness, the fire in me hides.
It's hiding right now
Rub me raw darlin
I haven't the time
Honey I have
Honey I have no strength
to lie to either of use now, sweetness
I'm wrapped in injury
the reason in my dies
it's sliding down
Rub me raw, darlin
I haven't the time
Honey I will
Honey I will not try
for anything between us now, sweetness
I've grown older
the child in me cries
mother, mother now
Rub me raw, darlin
I haven't the time

I'm Never Sad
03:12
|
|||
Please say I can Fight I can cry I can scream
Please
I'm never sad, I'm never sad,
Please
More than you know, my chest explodes
valentine streamers
My hands are old from catching myself
Please say I can fight, I can cry I can scream
Please
I'm never sad, I'm never sad,
Please
Wake up in this silly place
windows that lie let sunlight in
I can't get warm artificial light
Please say I can fight, I can cry I can scream
Please
I'm never sad, I'm never sad

Not Ophelia
04:22
|
|||
I've been standing here
I've been standing here
I've been standing here
She's alone, she's alone, she's alone
where were you?
I've been standing here
I've been standing here
I've been standing here
Half crazy, half crazed, half crazy
Little girls turn blue
I've been standing here
I've been standing here
I've been standing here
I refuse to drown
I refuse to drown
I refuse to drown in the brook

Battlefield Baby
02:00
|
|||
Take away the layers of days when you couldn't ask for what you wanted
Breathe in your own smell again and close the canyon
Saw you in bed, making a scene
Battlefield baby show us your balancing act
Show us a little skin
Show us a little of you
Shake away the layers of blame that you couldn't swallow if you wanted
Wake up your smile again and close your eyes in the sun
Saw in you in my head walking the line
Battlefield baby show us your balancing act
show us a little skin
show us a little of you
Found you in bed

I Just Know
02:09

If I hadn't been so angry, if i hadn't been so sad, if i hadn' been locked up in my head
I just know we could have had this conversation long ago
If you hadn't been watching tv, if you hadn't been so damn busy
I just know we could have had this conversation
and you can't change my mind you cant the mind of stubborn child that's been alive for several hundred souls you cant her mind you cant change mind
I just know we could have had this conversation long ago I know I know
Lay myself out on the table, naked
feel the water rushing down in your voice on the line
it's damn cold
I shiver I shiver I shiver for a moment
I shiver I shiver I shiver for a moment
I shiver I shiver I shiver for a moment
and then I'm over it
I just know we could have had this conversation. I know I know

Toy Gun
02:35
|
|||
I was a wise woman stuck in the body of a girl
I knew what was coming we both knew what was coming
and we did it anyway
I am sorry I am. I'm not the only one that lied, I know my part.
Say goodbye now, say goodbye
I've got my toy gun load it up love
You were a young child handling china cups
you don't numbers, you don't know numbers
but you did it anyway
you are so sorry you say you're not the only one that lied
say good bye now, say goodbye
I've got my toy gun load it up love
load it up, draw

Sitting champagne we're sitting champagne
We're drinking in the possibilities
will you ever toast to me for all the things I haven't done yet?
