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

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

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

Champagne 01:49
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?
