Chivas*

You're not worth it babe;
The trouble you bring, the noise you keep,
And you don't even care.
I'm so sick of you babe,
Nights wasted, I'm through faking.
You don't turn me on,
You don't do anything at all.

Baby, I can't stand the sight of your face.
Baby, I don't even want to hear your name.

Don't know what I saw, but I ain't seeing it now,
Woke up this morning, bitterness in my mouth.
Guess I fell too fast, guess I learned my lesson,
So much for true love, I'll take the chivas instead.

You're too high maintenance babe,
All the time you spent trying to fit in,
And no one even cares.
It's so ridiculous babe,
Watching you turn as I burn.
It's like you're not even there.

Baby, don't you try and hold my hand.
Maybe you should keep your eyes on your new girlfriend.

Don't know what I saw, but I ain't seeing it now,
Woke up this morning, bitterness in my mouth.
Guess I fell too fast, guess I learned my lesson,
So much for true love, I'll take the chivas* instead

I'll take the chivas* instead,
Over your bed.
It wasn't even good,
Trust me.
I must have been so, so, so, so lonely.

You are crap,
You should keep your eyes on your new little brat.
It's hard not to look I know,
I'm amazing.
I love you chivas*.

* Replace all instances of "chivas" with "tequila," and this song is golden.

Broken

The broken clock is a comfort, it helps me sleep tonight,
Maybe it can stop tomorrow from stealing all my time.
I am here still waiting though I still have my doubts.
I am damaged at best, like you've already figured out.

I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing,
With a broken heart that's still beating.
In the pain, there is healing,
In your name I find meaning.
So I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on,
I'm barely holdin' on to you.

The broken locks were a warning you got inside my head,
I tried my best to be guarded, I'm an open book instead.
I still see your reflection inside of my eyes,
That are looking for a purpose, they're still looking for life.

I'm hangin' on another day,
Just to see what you throw my way.
And I'm hanging on to the words you say,
You said that I will be okay.
The broken lights on the freeway left me here alone,
I may have lost my way now, haven't forgotten my way home.

Good To You

Thought I saw a sign, somewhere between the lines.
Maybe it's me, maybe I only see, what I want.
But I still have your letter, to stock up between,
Someone I just invented, and who I really am and who I've become.

And I do want you know I hold you up above everyone.
And I do want you know I think you'd be good to me
And I'd be so good to you.
You bring me higher.
Yeah, I would.

Undone

Take our pictures off the walls tonight;
I don't wanna see you no more.
I don't wanna feel you no more.
Take our memories, throw them all aside;
I hope you finally get what you want,
Now you know...

I didn't wanna live without you,
I didn't wanna love without you,
I used to think I'd die without you,
Now it's killing me,
That we can be undone.

You're talking now and I'm hearin',
Everything that you say,
And I'm holding on, is a real phrase,
And it's dragging me along to my grave,
It's dragging me to my grave.

Me & My Girl

Me and my girl, we're like the modern day Bonnie and Clyde.

Something for your mind...

Something for your mind...
Something for your mind, your body and your soul.
It's the power to arouse curiosity,
The purpose, the goal which one acts on.
A journey of force, hot like the sun and wet like the rain.
Rythmatic movements in unison with others,
Prolonged in acts of Sensation with no limits or boundaries.

Eternity has passed.
Wrong is right.
It's the point of greatest intensity.
Pleasure of the highest sense.
Feelings of warmth and security.

Willing and unwilling sensations of the mind.
The condition, the pulsing, the ultimate seduction.
Something for your mind...

My Lucky Day

In the room where fortune falls,
On a day when chance is all,
In the dark of fierce exile,
I felt the grace of your smile.

Honey, you're my lucky day.
Baby, you're my lucky day.
Well I lost all the other bets I made,
Honey, you're my lucky day.

When I see strong hearts give way
To the burdens of the day,
To the weary hands of time,
Where fortune is not kind.

I've waited at your side,
I've carried the tears you've cried.
But to win, darlin' we must play,
So don't hide your heart away.

Dog Days

Happiness, it hurt like a train on a track,
Coming towards her, stuck still no turning back.
She hid around corners and she hid under beds,
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled.
With every bubble she sank with a drink
And washed it away down the kitchen sink.

The dog days are over,
The dog days are done.
The horses are coming so you better run.

Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father,
Run for your children and your sisters and brothers.
Leave all your love and your loving behind you,
Can’t carry it with you if you want to survive.

The dog days are over,
The dog days are gone.
Can you hear the horses, 'cause here they come.

And I never wanted anything from you,
Except everything you had and what was left after that too.

Happiness it hurt like a bullet in the mind,
Stuck them up drainpipes by someone who should know better than that.

The dog days are over,
The dog days are gone.
Can you hear the horses, 'cause here they come.

Run fast for your mother and fast for your father,
Run for your children for your sisters and brothers.
Leave all your love and your loving behind you,
Can’t carry it with you if you want to survive.

The dog days are over,
The dog days are gone.
Can you hear the horses, 'cause here they come.

Rearview

I use to tell myself that you would wait.
I borrowed time for two and I twisted fate.
I left us floating in the air for wind to hold on to.
It let me down, it let you go.

I drive around like everything's okay,
And I feel the lightning in our own mistakes.
And I was gonna tell you I wish all our wrongs could be right -
I'm too late.
I looked in my rearview,
And now I don't see you.

Sometimes the things you want are hard to take,
Sometimes the ones you love are risks you don't make, yeah.
The dust has settled into nothingness,
And I yearn for yesterday.
Just look around, I'm still the same.

So many things that we didn't say,
So many reasons the world's not the same.
Oh, it's not the same.

I drive around like nothing's here has changed,
But I know the sky has one more cloud to break.
And I was gonna tell you I wish all our wrongs could be right -
I'm too late.
I looked in my rearview,
And now I don't see you

I used to tell myself
That you would wait.

Devil Wouldn't Recognize You

As quiet as it is tonight you almost think you were safe.
Your eyes are full of surprises, they cannot predict my fate.
Waiting underneath the stars, there's something you should know,
The angels they surround my heart telling me to let you go.

I barely couldn't,
I barely couldn't recognize.
But I played right into it,
Who am I to criticize?
Somehow I'll get through it
And you won't even realize
Falling through your own disguise

It's like over and over,
You're pushing me right down to the floor,
I should just walk away.
Over and over,
I keep on coming back for more,
I play into your fantasy.
Now that it's over,
You can lie to me right through your smile,
I see behind your eyes.
Now I'm sober,
No more intoxicating my mind.

Even the devil wouldn't recognize you, but I do.
Even the devil wouldn't recognize you, but I do.

You almost fooled yourself this time, let all the saints be praised.
You hide your sadness behind your smile and you keep your lost heart braced.
The steps that edge along the ledge is much higher than it seems.
But I've been on that ledge before, you can't hide yourself from me.

It's like over and over,
You're pushing me right down to the floor,
I should just walk away.
Over and over,
I keep on coming back for more,
I play into your fantasy.
Now that it's over,
You can lie to me right through your smile,
I see behind your eyes.
Now I'm sober,
No more intoxicating my mind.

Even the devil wouldn't recognize you, but I do.
Even the devil wouldn't recognize you, but I do.

Dancing Shoes

It's so nice to see you.
Can we sit and talk for a while?
I have searched forever,
I can't imagine anything better.

Kids upon the stairway,
Couples on the sidewalk squares.
If I get to your heart soon,
I'll call a perfect afternoon.

Won't you call my number.
Don't push, but don't hesitate.
Wake me from this slumber.
Rush me, but leave time to wait.

Checkmate on my shoulder.
I'm tired of this win or lose.
Well, I'm no knight in shining armor,
But I'm no pair of dancin' shoes.

My patience ran away.
Take me with you.
You keep me holding on.
Nothin's understood,
You're so confusing,
Tell it to me straight.

Won't you call my number.
Don't push, but don't hesitate.
Wake me from this slumber.
Rush me, but leave time to wait.

Rush me but leave time to wait.
I got nothin' left to lose,
But I'm no pair of dancin' shoes.

Temporary Tattoos

Vitamin 8, kick texture out for total, ever to-date.

He mentioned my having disappeared... Oops
In addition to too much social in a row.
Then I go out into mass heat to look for bird-thing.
No worries, I assure you we will locate a drunkard,
Wouldn't that be a day?

The don't-tell policy is not gonna fly -
Literally yours.
He was one of these guys who integrates "cold" into his writing,
And everyone said, "But of the human kind,
Eyes on the dog, ticketing a nice dog."

Demons be gone.
Thursdays at least part of the same week we are in.
My ostensible impodus,
You might have to draw me a picture on a bar napkin
So I get it.
Plural becuase I am going to predict,
Match-to-letters,
Except you would order the sounds,
They are crowded
As are most good things.

My clock is close
Disease - I guess I shouldn't share?
But then it would've been a dog-less trip.

I don't suppose there's any chance you'd be willing to snap a photo of yourself right now for me?
Whatever that means.
I was agitated even before the super-clever.
I dreamt of a dollbox which keeps getting worse.
We are giving each other temporary tattoos, accidentaly -
You smell like ketchup.

10 am.
I lay in my bed, shoeless and in doorway.
I look back in my head - How did they get there?
I drove. I can drive.
The machines are in my head; they are making something new - all bets.
I think you said, I remember it being in a present tense, ha ha.
Which is, I guess, the thing.
It often isn't coerced by intention.
I was prepared to deflect on the fly.

I put the cigarette out, shut the lights, and went to bed to the sounds of dirty.
Almost went to sleep in my dress, shoes and all the rest,
Under window panes in pool-like, gentle spin.
Sun coming up on red-brick buildings, thinking of the view I used to have
Of the silver lakes, mountains, Hollywood sign.

Here equals signs of life, relief.
When repression becomes survival,
And high becomes crash.
When insanity becomes ruler,
Becomes outside.

When repression becomes survival,
And high becomes crash.
When insanity becomes ruler,
Becomes outside.

Set the Fire to the Third Bar

I find the map and draw a straight line,
Over rivers, farms, and state lines,
The distance from 'A' to where you'd 'B,'
It's only finger-lengths that I see.
I touch the place where I'd find your face.
My finger in creases of distant dark places

I hang my coat up in the first bar,
There is no peace that I've found so far.
The laughter penetrates my silence,
As drunken men find flaws in science.
Their words mostly noises,
Ghosts with just voices.
Your words in my memory,
Are like music to me.

I'm miles from where you are.
I lay down on the cold ground.
I pray that something picks me up,
And sets me down in your warm arms.

After I have travelled so far,
We'd set the fire to the third bar.
We'd share each other like an island,
Until exhausted, close our eyelids.
And dreaming, pick up from
The last place we left off.
Your soft skin is weeping,
A joy you can't keep in.

I'm miles from where you are.
I lay down on the cold ground.
I pray that something picks me up,
And sets me down in your warm arms.

You Found Me

I found God on the corner of First and Amistad,
Where the west was all but won.
All alone smoking his last cigarette.
I said, "Where you been?"
He said, "Ask anything."

Where were you when everything was falling apart?
All my days were spent by the telephone.
It never rang and all I needed was a call.
It never came to the corner of First and Amistad.

Lost and insecure: you found me, you found me.
Lyin' on the floor: surrounded, surrounded.
Why'd you have to wait:
Where were you, where were you?
Just a little late: you found me, you found me.

In the end everyone ends up alone.
Losing her, the only one who's ever known,
Who I am, who I'm not, who I wanna be.
No way to know how long she will be next to me.

Early morning, the city breaks.
I've been callin' for years and years and years and years,
And you never left me no messages.
You never send me no letters.
You got some kinda nerve,
Taking all my world.

Lost and insecure: you found me, you found me.
Lyin' on the floor: where were you, where were you?
Lost and insecure: you found me, you found me.
Lyin' on the floor: surrounded, surrounded.
Why'd you have to wait?
Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late: you found me, you found me
Why'd you have to wait?
To find me, to find me.

All I Ever Wanted

Tear up the photographs, but yesterday won’t let go,
Every day, every day, every minute.
Here comes the emptiness, just can’t leave lonely alone,
Every day, every day.
This second-chancin’s really getting me down.
You give and takin’ everything I dreamed about.
It’s time you let me know, let me know, just let go...

All I ever wanted, all I ever wanted,
Was a simple way to get over you.
All I ever wanted, all I ever wanted,
Was an in-between to escape this desperate scene,
Where every lie reveals the truth.
Baby cause I all ever wanted,
All I ever wanted was you.

I’d rather walk alone, don’t wanna chase you around,
Every day, every day, every minute.
I'd fall a thousand times before I let you drag me down,
Every day, every day.
Your new beginning was a perfect ending,
But I keep feeling we’ve already been here before,
It’s time you let me know, let me know, just let go...

Tell me with so many out there why I always turn to you?
Your goodbyes tear me down every time,
And it’s so easy to see that the blame is on me.

Cry

If anyone asks I tell them we both just moved on,
When people all stare, I pretend that I don't hear them talk.
Whenever I see you, I swallow my pride, and bite my tongue.
Pretend I'm okay with it all, act like there's nothing wrong.

Is it over yet; can I open my eyes?
Is this as hard as it gets;
Is this what it feels like to really cry?

If anyones asks I tell them we just grew apart.
What do I care, if they believe me or not?
Whenever I feel your memory is breaking my heart,
I pretend I'm okay with it all, act like there's nothing wrong.

I'm talking in circles, I'm lying way low,
Why won't this just stop or wait.

Is it over yet; can I open my eyes?
Is this as hard as it gets;
Is this what it feels like to really cry?

Goodbye

Everyday's the same, I feel them merge.
I try to separate, resist the urge.
But they tell me I'll be fine,
That it will all get better.
Just try to write it down,
Or put it in a letter.
But the words won't play,
And there's no easy way to say:
Goodbye, goodbye.

Keep my head on straight and don't look down.
With all I've pushed away, I'm losing ground.
But they tell me I'll be fine,
That it will all get better.
Just try to write it down,
Or put it in a letter.
But the words won't play,
And there's no easy way to say:
Goodbye, goodbye.

And from the sidelines watch me fall down.
And I don't understand the things I do,
But I'll probably be fine,
As long as I keep moving.
I'll try to write it down,
So things just keep improving.
Still the words won't play,
'Cause there's no easy way to say:
Goodbye, goodbye.

Umbrella

You have my heart, and we'll never be worlds apart.
May be in magazines, but you'll still be my star.
Baby cause in the dark you can't see shiny cars,
And that's when you need me there, with you I'll always share, because,

When the sun shines, we’ll shine together.
Told you I'll be here forever,
Said I'll always be a friend,
Took an oath, I'ma stick it out 'till the end.
Now that it's raining more than ever,
Know that we'll still have each other,
You can stand under my umbrella,
You can stand under my umbrella.

These fancy things, will never come in between,
You're part of my entity, here for infinity.
When the war has took it's part, when the world has dealt it's cards,
If the hand is hard, together we'll mend your heart

You can run into my arms, it's okay, don't be alarmed,
Come here to me, there's no distance in between our love.
So go on and let the rain pour, I'll be all you need and more.

Tears Dry On Their Own

All I can ever be to you is a darkness that we knew,
And this regret I've grown accustomed to.
Once it was so right, when we were at our high,
Waiting for you in the hotel at night.
I knew I hadn't met my match, but every moment we could snatch,
I don't know why I got so attached.
It's my responsibility and you don't owe nothing to me,
But to walk away I have no capacity.

He walks away, the sun goes down,
He takes the day but I'm grown.
And in your way, in this blue shade,
My tears dry on their own.

I don't understand, why do I stress a man,
When there's so many bigger things at hand?
We could a never had it all, we had to hit a wall,
So this is inevitable withdrawal.
Even if I stop wanting you a perspective pushes through,
I'll be some next man's other woman soon.
I shouldn't play myself again,
I should just be my own best friend,
Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men.

So we are history, your shadow covers me,
The sky above a blaze only lovers see.

I wish I could say no regrets and no emotional debts,
Cause that kiss goodbye the sun sets.
So we are history, the shadow covers me,
The sky above a blaze that only lovers see.

Sunday Morning

Sappy pathetic little me,
That was the girl I used to be.
You had me on my knees.
I'd trade you places any day,
I'd never thought you could be that way.
But you looked like me on Sunday.

You came in with the breeze on Sunday morning,
You sure have changed since yesterday without any warning.
I thought I knew you, I thought I knew you,
I thought I knew you well, so well.

You're trying my shoes on for a change.
They look so good but fit so strange.
Out of fashion so I can complain.

You came in with the breeze on Sunday morning,
You sure have changed since yesterday without any warning.
I thought I knew you, I thought I knew you,
I thought I knew you well, so well.

I know who I am, but who are you?
You're not looking like you used to.
You're on the other side of the mirror, so nothing's looking quite as clear.
Thank you, for turning on the light, thank you, now you're the parasite .
I didn't think you had it in you and now you're looking like I used to.

You came in with the breeze on Sunday morning,
You sure have changed since yesterday without any warning.
And you want me badly, cause you cannot have me.
I thought I knew you, but I've got a new view.
I thought I knew you well, oh well...
