Ant in Alaska

Call me when you think the coast is clear
I’ve been hiding out almost a year
Is there something wrong?
What’s taking you so long?
And yeah, I know that it’s not easy

You said if I waited, it would pay off
But my eyes are growing wild and body’s gone soft
Is there something wrong?
What’s taking you so long?
And yeah, I know it’s not easy

You said I should let go of your hand
But I don’t even know if I can
You’re the only one
You are the very sun to me
And you know that it’s not easy

Well, I look at the stars and I know you’re under them
I look at the books and things people are reading
I know that you’ve written them too
You’ve got so many little things to do

But then I look at my life and I know you’ve forgotten
The promise you made to me; I think that’s rotten
I’m hopelessly lost and there’s hardly a sound
Anymore coming through that show me around

And I’m endlessly, endlessly searching the crowd
Looking for something from you
Just one fucking, measly clue
And shitty little tip-off would do
But I’m just an ant in Alaska to you

But I look at the books and things people are reading
I know that you’ve written them too
You’ve got so many little things to do

But then I look at my life and I know you’ve forgotten
The promise you made to me; I think that’s rotten
I’m hopelessly lost and there’s hardly a sound
Anymore coming through that can show me around

As I’m endlessly, endlessly searching the crowd
Looking for something from you
Just one fucking, measly clue
And shitty, little tip-off would do
But I’m just an ant in Alaska to you

I’m just an ant in Alaska
An ant in Alaska
An ant in Alaska to you

Avalanche (Stereo Romance)

Falling in love is much better when it’s a slow fall
Like a snow fall
Not an avalanche

Riding around playing songs, it’s a stereo romance
The two of us nomads
Nowhere to go at all

And I know you don’t
Take anything for granted
But I wanna know
Do you believe in third chances?

Take me in into your arms
Lift me right up to the sky
Loving you under the stars
Nothing else feels so right

All of those times like a thief in the night
I was stealing
Now something has changed deep in my veins
I can feel it

And I know took it twenty years or more
But there were thorns in my head
And there were spears at your door
And I had to learn to be broken before
I could piece us together

Take me in into your arms
Lift me right up to the sky
Loving you under the stars
Nothing else feels so right
Nothing else feels so right

It’s getting late
I should get myself straight and go home now
I don’t wanna leave, but I’m scared you got somewhere to go now
And I know you don’t mind if I stay
But I wanna hear you say you want me that way

Take me in into your arms
Lift me right up to the sky
Loving you under the stars
Nothing else feels so right

Take me in into your arms
Lift me high up to the sky
Loving you under the stars
Nothing else feels so right
Nothing else feels so right

Bars of the Bed

Oh, fuck!
Did we make it through the night?
‘Cause if we did, I don’t think (Inaudible) …
Look at those fat chicks on the floor!

When I wanna go out, I tell my husband I’m working late

I dunno, I don’t think we should
Oh baby I know I feel it, ya know and like all that kind of stuff

Oh say, can you see by the dawn’s early light
What so proudly we hail at the twilight’s last gleaming
Its broad stripes and bright stars
Through the perilous night
And the rampart’s we watch were so gallantly streaming
And the rocket’s red glare
The bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there

Oh say, can you see by the dawn’s early light
What so proudly we hail at the twilight’s last gleaming
Its broad stripes and bright stars
Through the perilous night
And the rampart’s we watch were so gallantly streaming
And the rocket’s red glare
The bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there

Oh say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
For the land of the free and home of the brave

Hey, hun, you know I gotta couple more hours to do
Yeah, I don’t think it’s gonna be before twelve
Yeah, my stupid assistant
Yeah, whatever
No, you go to bed
No, go to sleep… I’ll see you later, I love you

Oh say, can you see by the dawn’s early light
What so proudly we hail at the twilight’s last gleaming
Its broad stripes and bright stars
Through the perilous night
And the rampart’s we watch were so gallantly streaming
And the rocket’s red glare
The bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there

Hey, you guys are the best friends I ever just met!
Can you do me a favor?
Can you just walk me to the door?
That’s great!

Listen, no, it’s taken care of, you guys go back in
Okay, we got two hours

Oh say, does that star spangled banner yet wave
o’er the land of the free and the home of the brave
The home of the brave!

Beginning to See the Light

You want me home, but I’m gone all night
And we’ve probably been in some kind of fight
But if that’s not real, and that’s not right
And I’m beginning to see the light
Yes, I’m beginning to see the light

When all the stars up in heaven were rushed by an angel
To see the light in your face better
And if God would only listen
He would surely create us
A hope of his everlasting grace

And I may be young, but I still know
The things you put down can rise from below
And I can hardly believe you would lay this at my door
‘Cause I have heard that song before
Yes, I have heard that song before

When all the stars up in heaven were rushed by an angel
To see the light in your face better
And if God would only listen
He would surely create us
A hope of his everlasting grace

You want me home, but I’m gone all night
And we’ve probably been in some kind of fight
But if that’s not real, and that’s not right
And I’m beginning to see the light
Yes, I’m beginning to see the light

Blood Keeper

Do it right
Save time
Make love
Feel fine about everything

I’m obsessed, I’m a wreck, I’m insane
Isn’t that what you want me to say? Hey.
Don’t you need to feel my blood on the tracks today?

Look right
Shield my eyes
Cough it up
Apologize to everyone

I’m a wreck, I’m obsessed, I’m insane
Isn’t that what you want me to say? Hey.
Don’t you need to feel my blood on the tracks today?

Lovely body parts for everyone
Come and take them off right now
What do you need them for, it’s just the two of us
No one’s asking you why

I’m a wreck, I’m obsessed, I’m insane
Isn’t that what you want me to say? Hey.
Don’t you need to feel my blood on the tracks today?

Do it right
Save time
Close the nest
Wash your hands of everyone

I’m obsessed, I’m a wreck, I’m insane
Isn’t that what you want me to say? Hey.
Don’t you need to feel my blood on the tracks today?

I’m a wreck, I’m obsessed, I’m insane
Isn’t that what you want me to say? Hey.
Don’t you need to feel some blood on the tracks today?

Don’t you need…

Bouncer’s Conversation

See that girl alone
Dressed all in her evening clothes?
She’s dying
‘Cause her boyfriend didn’t show up

Pull her out of line
Stick her in a waiting room
And ignore her
‘Til her face gets really bloated

And I wonder what it’s like
To be suckin’ all the time
You never get it right
And you’re never gonna win
And your ass is on your face
And your life is such a waste
And there’s sugar
Leanin’ in the window

See that amazon?
Her head looks like it’s connected to her shoulders
They look like little boulders

Turn her ’round and ’round
Take a mental picture of her naked
Inebriated
Face down on the linoleum

And I wonder what it’s like
To be suckin’ all the time
You never get it right
And you’re never gonna win
And your ass is on your face
And your life is such a waste
And there’s sugar
Walkin’ to the dressing room

Oh, what would I give to be her
Joyride, daddy-o, tonight

And I wonder what it’s like
To be suckin’ all the time
You never get it right
And you’re never gonna win
And your ass is on your face
And your life is such a waste
And there’s sugar
Headin’ to the barrio

With a faggot on her left
And a faggot on her right
And my dick is getting limp
‘Cause the chicks all suck tonight
And the band is such a bore
And I’ve seen it all before
And there’s sugar
Making me a video

Oh, what would I give to be her
Joyride, daddy-o, tonight

Can’t Get Out What I’m Into

The things they say are getting harder to take
But I can’t get out of what I’m into
And the jokes they tell are meant to wish me well
But I can’t get out of what I’m into

‘Cause it’s a steady job
And it’s the only thing that makes me money
And it gives me something to laugh about
‘Cause my real life ain’t fucking funny

The looks they give are starting to make me sick
But I can’t get out of what I’m into
And the lines they try might as well be from a guy
But I can’t get out of what I’m into

‘Cause it’s a steady job
And it’s the only thing that makes me money
And it gives me something to cry about
‘Cause my real life ain’t fucking funny
Yeah my real life ain’t fucking funny

Ooooh Lord, why have you forsaken me?
Ooooh Lord, why have you forsaken me?

The things I have to do would make a slut blush blue
But I can’t get out of what I’m into
I figure two more years, then I’ll go back to school
But I can’t get out of what I’m into

‘Cause it’s a steady job
And it’s the only thing that makes me money
And it gives me something to laugh about
‘Cause my real life ain’t fucking funny

Ooooh Lord, why have you forsaken me?
Ooooh Lord, why have you forsaken me?
Ooooh Lord, ooooh Lord
Ooooh Lord, why have you forsaken me?

Carnivore

You’ve told me maybe a thousand times
A smart girl would’ve recognized
There isn’t any business in the street

But some nights, daddy
I catch you wrapped up tight like a sleeping bag
You’re softly twisting a pinata suspended out of reach

But I know with one good slap
I could take care of that
But who wants to lose the beast of spring?

I guess it started off slow
But it’s picking up speed
And it’s gaining on me
Like a carnivore

Daylight catches me by surprise
Almost every night
And kicks my way another hole to sleep

I guess it started off slow
But it’s picking up speed
And it’s gaining on me
Like a carnivore

Combo Platter

Jeremy’s talking about the bombs
He thinks it’s probably a bad place to be
It’s gonna be worse than Manhattan

Looks like shit and it feels like America
Looks like shit and it feels like America

Take the train right up to the zoo
Don’t look back on what you’ve been through
Cause everyone’s got a Monday

Looks like shit and it feels like America
Looks like shit and it feels like America

It’s nice to be liked
But it’s better by far to get paid
I know that most of the friends that I have
Don’t really see it that way
But if you could give ’em each one wish
How much do you want to bet
They’d wish success for themselves and their friends
And that would include lots of money
I would surely include lots of money

So if there are any of you little green elves
Sitting out there today
Step right up wish me old Irish luck
But I also need shitloads of money

And if there are any of you dirty rich old men
Sitting up there today
Step right up I’m a lucky fuck
But I’m gonna need shitloads of money
I gonna need shitloads of money
I have got to have shitloads of money

(“Johnny Sunshine” played background)

(new music and lyrics fade in)

You came over to my house
Didn’t even knock you just walked inside
And when I didn’t want to talk
You said, “Oh, god, what a whole lot of bullshit”

Don’t be so in love with yourself
Don’t be so in love with yourself
Don’t be so in love with yourself
Cause I’m not
Don’t you know I’m not

And I said, “You’ve got a lot of nerve
Coming over here after all of the times that
You’ve tried to pull the wool over my eyes
And my ears and nose and mouth”

Don’t be so in love with yourself
Don’t be so in love with yourself
Don’t be so in love with yourself
Cause I’m not
Don’t you know I’m not

And I said, “You’ve got a lot of nerve
After all, it wasn’t me who left and now
You’re sleeping with that girl that you used
To say that you have always hated”

Don’t be so in love with yourself
Don’t be so in love with yourself
Don’t be so in love with yourself
Cause I’m not
Don’t you know I’m not

Don’t Apologize

Hey
What is the problem now?
Hey
Why aren’t you more excited?
Hey
What am I doing wrong?

It always seems like you are
Floating out of bed
Trying anything to take your mind off it
Never noticing any signs of danger
In that emotion

Hey
You gotta whole new body
Hey
Don’t even think about it
Hey
And don’t apologize

It always seems like you are
Trying anything to take your mind off it
Never noticing any signs of danger
In that emotion

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Floating out of bed
Trying anything to take your mind off it
Never noticing any signs of danger

You were floating out of bed
You were floating out of bed
You were floating out of bed

Don’t Have Time

Take a look around
This is what it’s now
It’s a little bridge now, baby
It’s a little bridge now
Just a photograph
Kinda makes me laugh
It’s a little kid now, baby
Some little kid

If I could solve your problems
What do you think I would be
One stupid seagull picking styrofoam up out of the sea?
Don’t have time
Don’t have time
Don’t have time for all your problems
Why don’t you solve them?

Take a look around
This is what it’s now
It’s a little bridge now, baby
It’s a little bridge now
Just a photograph
Kinda makes me laugh
It’s a little kid now
Pudgy, dumb little kid

If I could solve your problems
What do you think I would see?
All of my beautiful banquet receipts have been laid out for me
It’s been played out for me

Don’t have time for your fear, and your tea, and your queer little feats
And your joy, and your sweet little boy
And you’re trapped in your sphere
I’m sorry, but no one’s home

I couldn’t hear you, and now I think I’ve lost you
I could’ve made it easier and you would think that’s good
Don’t remember feeling older any worse than feeling wooden and alone
Wooden and alone

Dotted Line

Na na na na…

I’m taking all my dreams with me
On a mattress for our memories…
I’m taking all my dreams with me

Na na na na…

And if anyone asks you where I’ve been
I’ve been out having fun with my friends again
We’re dancing real close, but you can always cut in
Be dancing real close, but you can always cut in

‘Cause I signed on the dotted line
And that mess on your plate is mine
And I ain’t asking you to trust me anymore
I’m trusting you and I’ve seen enough

Na na na na…

We never had a chance to watch out for
One and another, we both need that
It’s hard when a friend turns their back

But when you turned around
I knew I’d finally found
Someone whose heart beats the same
I don’t remember too much, but I remember the day
That I signed on the dotted line
And that name next to yours is mine
And I ain’t asking you to trust me this time
Trusting you… and I say it enough

Na na na na…

Down

Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down

Butterfly lets her wing brush past your shoulder
I know you know her around by the way she’s so familiar

You keep bringing me
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Keep bringing me
Down, down, down
Down, down, down

All the time you were telling me you loved me
You’ve been sleeping around
And the shame of it hangs above me like a cloud

You’re bringing me
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Bringing me
Down, down, down
Down, down, down

I’m hearing lies
I’m feeling the sting of surprise
I make myself stand up and leave
And turn my back on your hollow pleas

Let it ride
Let the wind blow past my shoulders
Let the road like a ribbon unwind
And the pain of it make me older

Let the world keep bringing me
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Keep bringing me
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down

Erecting a Movie Star

Take off your right hand
‘Cause you don’t use it a lot
In dreams you’re so scant, but so what?
At the wrecking ball

Your eyes were open
You had them flown in at birth
Your skin is hempen
And Tre’s dearth
Erecting a movie star

I saw you there
You had your lover so fair in your heart
Arrived in really bloody make-up and scarf
I caught your breath
You are the flower sewn into the bar
But what we’re trying hard to make is a stem
It’s self sale art

Take off your right hand
‘Cause you don’t use it a lot
Your dreams are so scant
But so what?

You’re a pecking doll
Who red lips the Coolliard’s “Joshua”
Who just missed the Murder Car dopey dance
From baby to baby to hotel bar playbacks

Saw you there
You had your lover, a feather in arm
Berated kisses in the wake of the smart

Just bobbing there
Your partner spilled up the stairs to the bar
Which is a really small estate on a farm

Well, don’t you care?
I saw you there
With your blue-blond hair
Your lipstick stare

Faith & Tenderness

Plans are made to be cautiously broken
Words are finally said free when they’re spoken

I need you now like water needs a river
Just float along
I’ll follow you forever

Don’t know where we’re going
Don’t know what we’ll do
You’re inside of me, darling
I’m inside of you

I call your name in my dreams
Can you hear me?
All the disarray falls away when you’re me

I need you like water needs a river
Just float along
I’ll follow you forever

Don’t know where we’re going
Don’t what what we’ll do
But you’re inside of me, darling
I’m inside of you

I need you now like water needs a river
Just float along
I’ll follow you forever

Don’t know where we’re going
Don’t know what we’ll do
But you’re inside of me, darling
I’m inside of you

Don’t have all the answers
Don’t know what comes next
All we need is just faith and tenderness
Just a little faith

Fine Again

You travel back
Unwind and unpack
And it’s fine again

I get a ring
You’re bringing me things
And it’s fine again

Everyone wonders how we stay in love
And I tell them
That it’s hell when it’s bad
But it’s good
Good
Good when it’s good
And boy it is good to be back
To be back
To be back

I give a shake
You don’t even break
‘Cause it’s fine again

All the world looks like it’s taking a bath
‘Cause it’s fine again

Everyone wonders how we stay in love
And I tell them
That it’s hell when it’s bad
But it’s good
Good
So good when it’s good
And boy it is good to be back
To be back
To be back

Freak of Nature

Don’t it please you, daddy, don’t it feel good?
Well, I always say, that’s enough reason not to call it a freak of nature

Don’t it stand out, daddy, don’t you see it?
Well, I always say, that’s enough reason not to call it a freak of nature

Man, if you’ve got a one in a million girl, don’t let her get away
‘Cause the next one in a million girl is a million girls away
So get up off of your ass, daddy, and call me on the phone
‘Cause I’m sitting here waiting for you to ask me to be your one and only
This isn’t lonely, just serious

Don’t you want to, daddy, don’t you need it?
Well, I always say, that’s enough reason not to call it a freak of nature

Greased Lightning

I had a dream and you were in it
You ran a race, but you didn’t win it
And I wasn’t sorry to see you lose
I would have paid good money to have them grease your shoes

Greased lightning, going no where at all
It was frightening to watch you skid right into a fall

You spent your life expecting me to watch
So each time you slipped down I cut a lower notch
So I wasn’t sorry to feel you slide
If this is your body, I’m a thorn in your side

Greased lightning, going no where at all
It was frightening to watch you skid right into a fall

If you think that it’s gone and forgotten, then you’re wrong

Greased lightning, going no where at all
It was frightening to watch you skid right into a fall

Greased lightning, going no where
It was frightening to watch you skid right into a fall

Hallelujah

Unreleased. Written by Leonard Cohen.

Now I’ve heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don’t really care for music, do you?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor falls, the major lifts
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew her
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Well, maybe there’s a God above
As for me all I’ve ever learned from love
Is how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
But it’s not a crime that you’re hear tonight
It’s not some pilgrim who claims to have seen the Light
No, it’s a cold and it’s a very broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Well people I’ve been here before
I know this room and I’ve walked this floor
You see I used to live alone before I knew ya
And I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
But listen love, love is not some kind of victory march, no
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time you let me know
What’s really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And I remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove she was moving too
And every single breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Now I’ve done my best, I know it wasn’t much
I couldn’t feel, so I tried to touch
I’ve told the truth, I didnt come here to London just to fool you
And even though it all went wrong
I’ll stand right here before the Lord of song
With nothing, nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Ho Ho Ho

All I wanted was one perfect Christmas
All I got was some coal and some switches
Ours is the dimmest house on the block
There hanging stocking and we’re hanging socks

Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho

Doing shots of room temperature peppermint schnapps
As the yule log on TV crackles and pops
They had to cut back on most of the staff
Santa’s a joker and I need a laugh

Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho

Still, I believe in the spirit of forgiveness
Yes, I do
‘Cause no one gets a perfect Christmas

Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho

Al I wanted was one perfect Christmas
All I got was some coal and some switches
That ain’t no sleigh bell jingling on the rooftop
The landlord is here and he’s changing the locks

Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho

Still, I believe in the spirit of forgiveness
Yes, I do
‘Cause nobody gets
Nobody gets
Nobody gets

Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho

Merry Christmas!
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho
Merry Christmas!
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!

Hurricane Cindy

Bonus track from whitechocolatespaceegg.

What’s that piece of ass I see walkin’ over here?
What’s that little shiny thing?
Make it disappear

And when I walk I’m a cyclone
You should see it get rolling
Open my heart and emotions rip outta me
My emotions rip outta me

Don’t you want to kill her?
Knock her off her chair?
God, I think I will if she keeps playin’ with her hair

And when I walk I’m a cyclone
You should see it get rolling
Open my heart and emotions rip outta me
My emotions rip outta me

Hold me close and never let me go
All my life I’ve wanted them to know
A few things about me
I feel beautiful today

Today is Saturday
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday, what’s on the heel?
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday, what’s on the heel?

And when I walk I’m a cyclone
You should see it get rolling
Open my heart and emotions rip outta me
My emotions rip outta me

Put it on the stereo and play
All my life I’ve wanted them to say
A few things about me
I feel beautiful today
Lovely, I feel beautiful

I can’t stand my self
I can’t stand my life
I can’t stand in these six-inch heels anymore

And when I walk I’m a cyclone
You should see it get rolling
Open my heart and emotions rip outta me
My emotions rip outta me

And when I walk I’m in high school
You should see the commotion
A hundred people drowning in oceans inside me

Hurricane Cindy

Original version as recorded on Morning Becomes Electric on December 8, 1994.

What’s that piece of ass I see walkin’ over here?
What’s that piece of ass to me?
Who’s she standing near?

And when I walk I’m a cyclone
You should see it get rolling
Over my heart and emotions inside of me
They go rolling inside of me

Hold me close and never let me go
All my life I wanted you to know
A few things about me
I feel beautiful today
Lovely, beautiful

Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday, what’s on the heel?
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
What’s on the heel?
What’s on the heel?

And when I walk I’m a cyclone
You should see it get rolling
Over my heart and emotions inside of me
They go rolling inside of me

Put it on the stereo and play
All my life I’ve wanted you to say
A few things about me
I feel beautiful today
Lovely, beautiful

Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday, what’s on the heel?
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
What’s on the heel?
What’s on the heel?

And when I walk I’m a cyclone
You should see it get rolling
Over my heart and emotions inside of me
They go rolling inside me

And when I walk it’s a riot
You should see the commotion
A hundred people drowning in oceans inside me
They go rolling inside me
Inside me
Inside me

Hurricane Cindy

1996 shelved demo version

What’s that piece of ass I see walkin’ over here?
What’s that piece of ass to me?
Who’s she standing near?

And when I walk I’m a cyclone
You should see it get rolling
Open my heart and emotions rip out of me
My emotions rip out of me

Hold me close and never let me go
All my life I wanted you to know
A few things about me
I feel beautiful today

Today is Saturday

I can’t stand myself
I can’t stand my life
I can’t stand in these six-inch heels anymore

(Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday, what’s on the heel?
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday, what’s on the heel?
What’s on the heel?)

And when I walk I’m a cyclone
You should see it get rolling
Open my heart and emotions rip out of me
My emotions rip out of me

Put it on the stereo and play
All my life I’ve wanted you to say
A few things about me
I feel beautiful today
Lovely, I feel beautiful

And when I walk I’m a cyclone
You should see it get rolling
Over my heart and emotions rip out of me
My emotions rip out of me

And when I walk I’m in high school
You should see the commotion
A hundred people drowning in oceans inside me

Hurricane Cindy

comeandgetit version

What’s that piece of ass I see walkin’ over here?
What’s that little shiny thing
Make it disappear

And when I walk I’m a cyclone
You should see it get rolling
Open my heart and emotions rip out of me
My emotions rip out of me

Don’t you want to kill her?
Knock her off her chair?
God, I think I will if she keeps playing with hair

And when I walk I’m a cyclone
You should see it get rolling
Open my heart and emotions rip out of me
My emotions rip out of me

And I wonder
Whose turn it is tonight
To be the girl that people
Will look upon and sigh

How beautiful
How lovely
She’s so beautiful

So lovely
Beautiful
Lovely

I can’t stand myself
I can’t stand my life
I can’t stand in these six-inch heels anymore

And when I walk I’m a cyclone
You should see it get rolling
Open my heart and emotions rip out of me
My emotions rip out of me

And when I walk I’m in high school
You should see the commotion
A hundred people drowning in oceans inside me

I’ll Get You High

Saw your car, so I know you’re here
It’s been such a long time, I feel totally weird
But I don’t remember why
Pull the trigger and die

What a beautiful day for a drive
Not a cloud left in the sky
Why don’t you give me a ride to the studio
I’ll get you high
I’ll get you high

Bimbo, meet the bimbo
She’s a modern stone age for a family
Drowned out, thrown out of Glencoe
She’s a face without a history
Now that cat will stay out for the night
Fred gets in a terrifying fight
We all back down and beg him not tonight
Come in the living room and dry your eyes
Dry your eyes

In that old familiar valley
Where I have dumped my heavy load
Mom and dad sit back in the loveseat
From too much loss, from too much hope

What a beautiful day for a drive
Not a cloud left in the sky
Why don’t you give me a ride to the studio
I’ll get you high
I’ll get you high

I’m Like That

Don’t come up and play
I like to be on my own
Don’t miss me
People say I’m better off alone

Ask me, ask me why I’m like that
Ask me, ask me why I’m like that
Ask me, ask me why I’m like that

‘Cause I’m like that, I’m just like that
I’m like that, I am like that

Insanity

You do me and you wind me up just to see me crack
Half the fun of being mean is see me coming back

We’ve been this so many times before
Shouldn’t we be getting good at it?

I was happy to let you in my life
But you didn’t even try to keep it alive
Come back to me
Don’t you want to find insanity with me?

I’m not getting through you to on the phone
Lately, when you’re not around, you couldn’t be more gone

You’re acting like you just turned twenty one today
Strutting in your new suit
You can’t keep your mouth shut
But you don’t have a single thing to say

I was happy to let you in my life
But you didn’t even try to keep it alive
Come back to me
Don’t you want to find insanity with me?

Don’t you love me anymore?
Don’t you love me anymore?

I was happy to let you in my life
But you didn’t even try to keep it alive
Come back to me
Don’t you want to find insanity with me?

Don’t you love me anymore?
Don’t you love me anymore?

I was happy to let you in my life
But you didn’t even try to keep it alive

Jeremy Engle

Jeremy Engle
Lives in a tangled
Rent controlled apartment
With his communist family
There are books all around them
The dining room table is lacquered
With news clippings
Yellowing badly
They argue at dinner
His brother’s friends drop by
To throw a line in or two
About Tolstoy
They all play guitar
And they’re all very far away
In their own minds
From the upper west side of Manhattan
I never got past his
Googly eyes
That looked at me sadly
In mocking surprise
The way a lord looks at his placemat
Or a stain on his tie
It never happened for me
And Jeremy Engle though
Wanted to step through that portal
And try on that other dimension
Of high, high browism
Jeremy’s hair and brow
Grow very high
But no, not I
I’m more of a napkin
Not blessed with the vision
Beyond how I’m matching
The china and wine
Now there are the Engles
Skewering Lenin
And chewing through
Six pounds of venison
Thigh that they shot up
In upstate New York
At their uncle’s
Jeremy needs me
To wipe off his eye
Some gelatinous thingy
That his brother’s rebuttaling
Mouthful let fly
Sometimes all you need is a napkin
Sometimes all you need is a napkin

Miss Fortune

Unreleased. Theme song for Cursed.

Miss Fortune and I’ve gotta a hot thing going on
Every night I’ve got a date with disaster

It always seems like the rain keeps falling
And the traffic’s stalling in front of me

Miss Fortune says I’m superstitious, but why else is all of this happening to me?

Oops! Oh, I screwed it up.

Mother’s Little Helper

Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards

Oh what a drag it is to get old

Kids are different today
I hear ever mother say
Mother needs something today to calm her down
And though she’s not really ill
There’s a little yellow pill

She goes running for the shelter
of her mother’s little helper
And it helps her on her way
Gets her through her busy day

Things are different today
I hear every mother say
Cooking fresh food for her husband’s just a drag
So she buys an instant cake and she burns a frozen steak
And goes running for the shelter of her mother’s little helper
And to help her on her way
Gets her through her busy day

Doctor, please, some more of these
Outside the door, she took four more
What a drag it is getting old

Things just aren’t the same today
I hear every mother say
They just don’t appreciate that you get tired
They’re so hard to satisfy
You can tranquilize your mind
And go running for the shelter of her mother’s little helper
And to help you through the night
Help to minimize your plight

Doctor, please, some of these
Outside the door, she took four more
What a drag it is getting old

Life is much too hard today
I hear every mother say
The pursuit of happiness just seems a bore
And if you take more of those
You will get an overdose
No more running for the shelter
Of her mother’s little helper
They just helped you on your way
Through your busy, dying day

Oh My God / That’s the Way I Like It

Oh my God
(Oh my God)
I’ve been saved
I saw the light today and it flung me back to the edge

Oh my God
What are you asking of me?
What have I done to you lately that could make you treat me so badly?

Oh my God
I’ve been sitting by the fence
Wondering which one of you I’m going to visit in the end

This is the world, brother, as you made it to be
Whatever in it of strife and pain, you put there for us to see
For us to see
And I see it

That’s the way, uh huh uh huh, I like it, uh huh uh huh
Yeah, that’s the way, uh huh uh huh, I like it, uh huh uh huh
Yeah, that’s the way, uh huh uh huh, I like it, uh huh uh huh
Yeah, that’s the way, uh huh uh huh
You should wash your hair first, uh huh uh huh

I’m going out tonight, gonna get it on
I’m gonna go to the bar
Gonna spend all my money, innit that funny?
That’s the way, uh huh uh huh, I like it, uh huh uh huh
That’s the way, uh huh uh huh, I like it, uh huh uh huh
That’s the way, uh huh uh huh, I like it, uh huh uh huh
Yeah, that’s the way, uh huh uh huh
You should hold me down, cross my legs

Here it comes now
You can feel it stretching down the street like two pairs of legs
They’re walking your way
And you like it, you like it
Yeah, that’s the way, uh huh uh huh, I like it, uh huh uh huh
Yeah, that’s the way, uh huh uh huh
You would like it, uh huh uh huh
You would like it if I played that way
That’s the way, uh huh uh huh
That’s the way, uh huh uh huh
That’s the way, uh huh uh huh
I like it

Perfect Misfit

When I walk down the hall I hold my head up high
Everybody’s looking
Doesn’t mean they like me
It’s not so great to stand out from the crowd
I’m an easy target
They know where to find me

Run a race and I win it
Solve your problem in a minute
It’s not a mystery why I’m a misfit

Here’s what’s bad about being good
Nobody thanks you when they should
Do a job right and you expect to be
Why can’t they just see me for me?

Walking with my lunch tray passing table after table
Nobody makes room
Everyone avoids me
People everywhere, but I feel so alone here
Oh, she thinks she’s perfect?
Yeah, a perfect misfit

Run a race and I win it
Solve your problem in a minute
It’s not a mystery why I’m a misfit

It’s not the way I want to be

Here’s what’s bad about being good
Nobody thanks you when they should
Do a job right and you expect to be
Why can’t they just see me for me?

I hold my head up high
Everybody’s looking
Doesn’t mean they like me

Run a race and I win it
Solve your problem in a minute
It’s not a mystery
I’m no misfit

This is the way I’m gonna be

Here’s what’s bad about being good
Nobody thanks you when they should
Set the bar high and you expect to be
Why can’t they just see me for me?

Here’s what’s bad about being good
Nobody likes you, but they should
Work so hard, why don’t they see?
Wish they’d just appreciate me

Here’s what’s good about me
Here’s what’s good about me

Quiet

Don’t know what I can say
I only know how to touch you in that special way
Words sounds so thin and small
In my heart love is all
I wanna be quiet with you
Let the record play
Hear the waves crash down
I wanna be silent and true
In that special way only you can do

Nobody else is here right now
They’ve all left, but there smoke still fills the house
Logs in the fireplace
And I’m so close to your lovely face
I wanna be quiet with you
Let the record play
Hear the waves crash down
I wanna be silent and true
In that special way only you can do

No misunderstanding
No sudden moves
In your arms I am free
Free to love
Free to lose my masquerade
I wanna be quiet with you
Let the record play
Hear the waves crash down
I wanna be silent and true
In that special way only you can do

I wanna be quiet with you

Rapids

I can’t stand to see you happy
When I’m trouble getting knocked around
You’ve got no reason to smile
It’s gonna hit you in awhile
It’s gonna hit you that I’m gone

I’m in the rapids and you’re in upstream
You’re gonna hit them after me
I’m in the rapids and you’re upstream
And you don’t see it coming

I’ll stand offshore and watch you spin
Hit a rock, come up again
Better paddle hard now
You’re not in you car now
And you’re headed for a fall

I’m in the rapids and you’re upstream
You’re gonna hit them after me
I’m in the rapids and you’re upstream
And you don’t see it coming

The Real Goodbye

Dear John
We haven’t spoken for a long time
It’s crazy, but I’ve been thinking about you lately
I realized it’s…
Two years ago today was the day we ended

Now we’re both moving on
You’re not here, but you’re not gone

Oh, still thinking how we left it
Now I just can’t forget it
I hope this letter find your real good
Now it’s time I say the real goodbye
Never sent a real goodbye

Oh, I hope this letter finds you real good
‘Cause now it’s time I say the real goodbye

I’m with someone
And we’re in love
He’s the man I want to spend my life with
He treats me nice
I think you’d like him
You always said you wanted me to be happy

Sometimes our heart says goodbye
In a different way
At a different time

Oh, still thinking how we left it
Now I just can’t forget it
I hope this letter finds you real good
Now it’s time I say the real goodbye
Never sent a real goodbye

Oh, I hope this letter finds you real good
‘Cause now it’s time I say the real goodbye

I know you were trying to do things right for us
All I saw was how it made things hard for us
In the rear-view mirror objects appear nearer
I can it things clearer than I ever did that day

Oh, oh
Oh, still thinking how we left it
And I just can’t forget it
I hope this letter finds you real good
Now it’s time I say the real goodbye
Never sent a real goodbye

Oh, I hope this letter finds you real good
‘Cause now it’s time I say the real goodbye

Dear John
It’s a real goodbye
Dear John
It’s a real goodbye
Dear John
It’s a real goodbye
Dear John
It’s a real goodbye

Rocket Boy

Rocket boy, rocket boy, rocket boy…

Didn’t see, I had no idea, never heard it before
And I said what good are you

You used to be my favorite toy

You used to be my pride and joy

Rocket boy

Feelin’ like gold.)
(Rocket boy.)
You used to be my pride and joy, my boy
You had me

Young child sitting all alone
Hot child, she wants to take you home

Shallow Opportunities

I don’t understand you
You’re just a man who talks at me
I’ll just sit and take your pleasantry
Until you run out of things to run past me

I don’t have a reason
I don’t have a plan
I operate on instinct

I give you the best of me
My sexy, sexy slight of hand

I’ll wait right here
‘Til you get back
And take my shallow opportunity
If you can’t guess that I’m hanging out to see
What you can do for me
‘Cause you were new to me
And that’s what this game is all about (is all about)
And that’s what this game is all about (is all about)
And that’s what this game is all about…

Six Dick Pimp

The six dick pimp is just doing his job
Making sure that business isn’t going under
He’s got the studs lined up in their stalls
Put a couple of bills in and see six minutes of balls

Justine has got a plastic baggie on her dick
Cherry’s got a couple Prince Alberts through her prick
And nobody’s in number four and number six
Put a couple bills in, man, you really shouldn’t miss it

I don’t care how much time it takes
I don’t care what kind of money he makes
I just want my honey back
I’ll be on my way
You’re gonna gimme my boyfriend back
I’ll be on my way

You thought you were smart
Thought I wouldn’t leave home
You rented a car, and now you’re halfway to Idaho
You thought you were smart
Thought I’d leave you alone
But you have no idea what kind of hell is coming down on you

I don’t care how much time it takes
I don’t care what kind of money he makes
I just want my honey back
I’ll be on my way
You’re gonna gimme my boyfriend back
I’ll be on my way

I don’t care how much time it takes
I don’t care what kind of money he makes
I just want my honey back
I’ll be on my way
You’re gonna gimme my boyfriend back
I’ll be on my way
I’ll be on my way

The six dick pimp is just doing his job
Making sure that business isn’t going under
He’s got the studs lined up in their stalls
Put a couple mills in, man, you really shouldn’t miss it

Stuck On An Island

When I was young
I crashed the car
I tried to bend it back into shape
With a rake for a crowbar

I wasn’t dumb
But I was so naive
I saw the signs
But I didn’t believe them

Now it’s dark
And I’m tired
All my messages got erased
And I don’t know where my friends are

Tell me, who can I turn to when things are so blue?
You’ve got me crying over you

Dad was home
It was getting lighter
I knew he had to take it to work
In about a half an hour

I wasn’t thinking clearly
It was like a panicking sweat gripped my body

And I was stuck on an island
On a cold November morning
Doing coke with Henry
And I totalled my car

Yes, I was stuck on an island
Wondering where my mind went
Getting a cold, wet shower
If I could just black out this hour
From time

Aloha, Doctor Phair

Sweet Jane

Written by Lou Reed

Standin’ on the corner
Suitcase in my hand
Jack is in his corset, Jane in her vest
And me, I’m in a rock ‘n’ roll band

Riding that Stutz Bearcat Jim
You know, those were different times
All the poets they studied rules of verse
And those ladies, they rolled their eyes

Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane

Now, Jack, he is a banker
And Jane, she is a clerk
And both of them save their moneys
Oh, but when they come home from work

Sittin’ down by the fire
The radio does play
The classical music
“The March of the Wooden Soldiers”
All you protest kids, you can hear Jack say

Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane

Some people, they like to go out dancing
And other peoples, they have to work, just watch me now
And there’s even some evil mothers

Ah, they’re gonna tell you that everything is just dirt
You know that women never really faint
And that villains always blink their eyes
You know children are the only ones who blush
And that life is just to die

But anyone who ever had a heart
Wouldn’t turn around and break it
And anyone whose ever played a part
They wouldn’t turn around and hate it

Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane

Tell Me You Like Me

I’m not fucking around
I only tell jokes when I think they’re funny
You oughta think about it
You oughta think about how I feel

Tell me that you like me
Do you think that it’s frightening?

Tell me you like me
Baby, tell me you like me
Make me come down to earth
Tell me you like me
Tell me you like me

I’m not fucking around
You had a dream in which I was a spider
While I was dreaming that you were in love with me

Tell me that you like me
Do you think that it’s frightening?

Tell me you like me
Baby, tell me you like me
Make me come down to earth
Tell me you like me
Tell me you like me
And make me wanna come
Baby, make me come down
Make me come down to earth

Tell me you like me
Baby, tell me you like me
Make me come down to earth
Tell me you like me
Tell me you like me
Make me come down to earth

Tell Me I’m a Liar

The sky is blue
The world is round
These walls keep you
From falling down

Tell me I’m a liar, a liar
Tell me I’m a liar

I tell you where I’ve gone and what I’ve done when I’ve been low
You only tell me what you think I need to know

Tell me I’m a liar, a liar
Tell me I’m a liar

I feel like I’m a crazy
Nothing you say is the same the next day
I feel like I’m drifting
And you’re on the dock with your head on the wrong way around
And round
The top is down
Your car’s still here and running
You’re not out of town

Tell me I’m a liar, a liar
Tell me I’m a liar

Wasted

All the people we all know
Are wasted away on a holiday
Everywhere these people go
They’re wasted away
There’s nothing to borrow
Wasted today, they’re wasted tomorrow
And I wouldn’t want it from you
And I wouldn’t take it anyhow
I just want to borrow time and to give my body peace of mind

All the people we all know
Are wasted away on a holiday
Everywhere my buddies go
They’re wasted away, wasted away

White Babies

My black market white baby dealer
Is hunting around overseas
My black market white baby dealer
Brings back clean, fresh white babies to me

He brings back
Oh my God, he brings back
He brings back clean, fresh, white expensive babies

My smile is dime a dozen
My lips are cherry red
My eyes are blue like the sky is blue
I got good shoulders under my head
I look like your mother
I look like your great-aunt
Sit me down in your family photo
And everyone tells me that I, I look just like you

(I changed this verse for you)

My black market white baby dealer
Is hunting around overseas
My black market white baby dealer
Brings back clean, fresh white babies to me
Clean, fresh white babies to me
Clean, fresh white babies to me

White Bird of Texas

The last time I spoke to my aunt before she died
She was describing to me this incredible owl
That was sitting in a tree
It meant nothing to me
But it means a lot more now

Because I’m waiting, I’m waiting, I’m waiting for the bird
I’m waiting, I’m ready, I know it is my turn
All those cigarettes, alcohol, this body’s through
You’re gone for sure when the bird comes for you

And the last time I spoke to my uncle before he died
It was the very same week, but one year before her
He was sitting alone in his study, on the phone
When a giant hawk flew by

Said, “I’m waiting, I’m waiting, I’m waiting for the bird,
I didn’t expect to be noticed or heard.
Oh, Elizabeth, help me, I can’t find the room,
You’re gone for sure when the bird comes for you.”

And, oh, it is scary
And, oh, it is cold to the bone

My body’s not ready for my mind to learn
I have just been consigned here to rot in the earth

Said, “I’m waiting, I’m waiting, I’m waiting for the bird,
It comes in and takes you away from this world.
Gate twenty-seven, I can’t find the room.
You’re free to board now, they’re waiting for you.”

I’m waiting, I’m waiting, I’m waiting for the bird
I’ve seen it three times now, there’s nothing to learn
And don’t be surprised if the sky’s bright and blue
And the white bird of Texas comes barreling through

Wild Thing

Wild thing
You make the boys spring
You made everything expensive
Spend it, spend it wild thing

There’s hardly a man left around that you haven’t sought out
There’s hardly a dress shop in town that you haven’t bought out
In case you’re wondering why the hair salon wouldn’t take you
There’s hardly a woman left in any state that doesn’t hate you

Wild thing
You make the boys spring
You made everything expensive
Spend it, spend it wild thing

It was truly awesome

When she was younger, she thought her mother had missed her calling
And she in turn thought that her daughter’s conduct was appaling
After each date she had, the boys went home and dreamed of spiders
She never fell for any man who wasn’t rich as Midas

Wild thing
You made the boys spring
You made everything expensive
Spent it, spend it wild thing

Wild thing
You made your heart sing
You bought everything you wanted
Spend it, spend it wild thing

That’s my girl
Go, baby

Winter Wonderland

Sleigh bells ring
Are you listening?
In the lane
Snow is glistening
A beautiful sight
We’re happy tonight
Walking
In a winter wonderland

Gone away
Is the bluebird
Here to stay
Is a new bird
He sings a love song
As we go along
Walking
In a winter wonderland

In the meadow
We can build a snowman
And pretend
That he is Parson Brown
He’ll say are you married?
We’ll say No man
But you can do the job
When you’re in town

Later on, we’ll conspire
As we dream, by the fire
To face unafraid
The plans that we’ve made
Walking
In a winter wonderland

In the meadow
We can build a snowman
And pretend
That he’s a circus clown
We’ll have lots of fun
With Mr. Snowman
Until the other kids
Come knock him down

When it’s cold
Ain’t it thrilling
When your nose
Gets to chilling
We’ll frolic and play
The eskimo way
Walking
In a winter wonderland

Walking
In a winter wonderland

Woman

Woman is a bad word
When you give in all you can
But the world keeps spinning faster
And they tell you you’re not a man

They just take, take, take
What they need, need, need
While you break, break, break
And you bleed, bleed, bleed
Can you make it easier on me?

And he said, “Now hold on there missy
Where do you think you’re going in my city?”

I said, “Well, let me tell you, big brother
I don’t answer to you
I answer to another”

It’s where you go from there
From the soil fields of West Virginia
To a townhouse in Hartford Square

Can you make it easier on me?

And he said, “Now hold on there missy
Where do you think you’re going in my city?”

I said, “Well, let me tell you, big brother
I don’t answer to you
I answer to another”

We’ve got a long way to go

You Have No Idea

You have no idea how much I love you
What I would do for your natural touch
And you have no idea just how I’d hold you
When I am woken from a dream, something bad had happened to us

But I would talk my mouth off
If I thought, oh yes, baby
It would glue you forever to me

And I’ve worn out my pride
And I’ve torn at the sky
And I’ve beaten at the devil
With one heathenist sigh

And I’d never let anyone harm you while I’m alive
I’d never let anyone harm you while I’m alive

You have no idea how much it moves me
Just staring deeply into your green eyes
And you have no idea just how completely I adore you
You would be so surprised

But I would talk my mouth off
If I thought, oh yes, baby
It would glue you forever to me

And I’ve worn out my pride
And I’ve torn at the sky
And I’ve beaten at the devil
With one heathenist sigh

And I’d never let anyone harm you while I’m alive
I’d never let anyone harm you while I’m alive
I’d never let anyone harm you while I’m alive
