ache

dont know how to say it
guess it means i need you
feeling kinda crazy
staring at the list

don't know how to handle
i can't keep a thought straight
feeling kinda nauseas 
do you get the jist?

[chorus]
a dark ache
rushing over me, over me
a dark ache
overpowers, devours me
a dark ache
fills my deepest place
til I see your face
til i see your face

[v2]
trying not to panic
clinging on the reason
dont know where you've gone now
sure that you'll be alright

i wrote this little song
i hope that it can save me
I'll take another breath
and release it to the night

[chorus]

Jacob

Jacob danced through the hallway
hotel sheet tied around
filled the silence with giggles
sprinkled love on the ground

Everybody who knows him
sees him leaking each day
once a boy with a big plan
he threw his notions away

[Chorus]
Jacob Jacob
Clutching tightly to the sea
Jacob Jacob
Mummy loves you differently
Jacob Jacob
Always been a stray
Jacob Jacob
Searching every day

He dropped his sheet in the doorway
then crawled across the dark room
he tried his best not to giggle
or spill the flowers in bloom

He's bathing there in the moonlight
while bashful stars hide their eyes
the tiny world spinning wildly
through a meridian sky

[CHORUS]

wild flowers

dreaming that dream
dreaming of you
wake in the dark
it wasn't true
reach for your hand
find an old sock
cuddle myself
sigh as i rock

(chorus)
wild flowers
fields of wild flowers
blue and white
orange and red
I'll dream of them
til we're both dead
wild flowers

i'd seen them before
brilliant and bright
but who could have known
I'd miss them tonight
I'll lie here alone
my face on your shirt
cuddle myself
and smile as i hurt

(chorus)

comfortable

the soft seductive glow
bussing your sweet face
i see you over there
in your old familiar place
sometimes you give me glances
in special circumstances

but usually i just feel you
and your cosmic energy

i'm floating in my world
and you're somewhere there in yours
somehow our drifting orbits
simultaneously occur
we're speaking without sound
in the silence all around

I'm happy I can feel you
and your cosmic energy

trust me

(v1)you're just
the kind
of girl i like:
pretty
and stupid
and rich

I'm the kind
of boy
you can't resist:
tall
and certain
and a little bit mean

(chorus)
trust me, trust me
I'm not gonna hurt you
trust me, trust me
baby you can change me
trust me, trust me
we will be so different
from the last girl I left
crying alone

(v2)
you say
that we
can get this right
together
and happy
sounds great

if you
don't want
to fight tonight
shut up
give in
come on

(chorus)

(bridge)
if we can't work this out (it's your fault)
you knew me from the start (who I am)
you said you didn't care (so stupid)
I don't need you anyway (you bitch)

(chorus) x2

a bone

come on universe
throw me a bone
I'm tired of scrounging around in the trash
i've begged and pleaded
I've even prayed
I've lit the candles and chanted the chants

I've done it all
but it doesn't seem to help
come on universe
come on

what should i say
what should i do
what magic tricks will see me through
I've conjured
I've pondered
I've threatened the spirits

I've done it all
but it nothing helps
come on universe
come on

If I were there

If I were there
If I were there

I'd hold you close
and pet your hair

I'd make a dirty joke
just to hear you laugh again
just to make you laugh again

If I were there

If I were there
If I were there

I'd hold you close
to show I care

I'd make a stupid face
just to see you smile again
just to make you smile again

If I were there

But I'm not there
No, I'm not there

you keep reminding me
reminding me
that I'm no longer there

No, I'm not there
I can't be there

I'm far away
so far away
I can't show you how I care

in another time
on another day
I was there
to make you smile
to be your smile

but now
I'm not there

do you think of me?

Do you think of me
when i leave your sight?
Do your eyes ever wander
to the place I was?
Do you think of me
when I'm not around?
Do you think of me?
Do you think of me?

Do you think of me
when you're somewhere else?
Do miss my passion
when you're all alone?
Do you think of me
when you wet your lips?
Do you think of me?
Do you think of me?

I wish I
could always be
right there with you

the next best thing
is always knowing
that i can count on you

can I count on you
when I'm not around?
do you miss me
when I'm out of town?
do you hunger?
do you miss my sound?
do you think of me?
do you think of me?

one and only: you

(v1)
Falling
Falling
Falling in love all over again
hanging on your every syllable
I'm falling in love all over again
enamored with you, you're so incredible

How do you do it?
You intoxicate me
I'll never know you
But you've always thrilled this silly little heart
and you always will, I can't resist you

[chorus]
i hear you
my idol
my one
my only

i hear you
my hero
the one
the only

i love you
perfection
you're one
you're only

i love you
forever
my one
my only

one and only
the one
the only
the one and only: 
you

[v2]
tuesday
tuesday
a long awaited tuesday
you drop the new album
I'm falling in love all over again
choked up in ecstasy, you're so powerful

you sing a sonnet
bang on your piano
I'll never know you
but still I'm dizzy, and giddy, and crying
you always do this, I can't resist you

[CHORUS]

[bridge]
and i'm lying alone in a broken down bed
in nothing but headphones
and your glorious sound

the tears mix with giggles
the sighs dance with smiles
i can feel you inside as you float all around


[chorus]

lucky charm

sit back down
you're not goin' anywhere
i'm on a streak
and you're my lucky charm

sit back down
you're not goin' anywhere
I'm gonna win
because you're my lucky charm

[prechorus]
maybe I'm crazy
maybe its a fluke
but I'm just so lucky
so lucky with you

maybe I'm wrong
maybe this is bad
but you're the luckiest charm
I've ever had

so sit back down

[chorus]
Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky
Lucky charm
you're my lucky charm
(x2)

(v2)
sit your ass down
you're not going anywhere
not, not going anywhere
as long as I win.

One more hand
I'm up and I'm on a roll
I'm winning and I can't lose
cause you're my lucky charm

[prechorus]

[chorus] * 2

tiny flowers

(v1)
we fought
another stupid fight
a day of heavy sighs
the ruin of a night
a good time we will never have with each other

I said
you never seem to care
you never pay attention
i'm sick of that blank stare
a look that says you're body's here but you're with another

[prechorus]
you insist you're all in
you insist I'm crazy
and you swear you'll make it up
next time you'll pay attention

[chorus]
then you send me
tiny, tiny flowers
the kind that make me smile
the kind you know I love
my favorite tiny little flowers

tiny, tiny flowers
a way you show you care
its all I need to know
that you love me
just tiny little flowers

[v2]
we make up
why'd we even fight?
maybe I was wrong
crazy from this love
Guess I blew it out of proportion

we kiss
start to sort things out
everything seems fine
then you talk again
and I remember why I was angry

[prechorus]
you didn't mean to hurt me
you beg for me to calm down
and you swear you'll make it up
you have the best of intentions

[CHORUS]

Julian

(v1)
He looks a bit like me
but somehow more beautiful
He's got that certain swagger
a dandy little dapper
He dresses to the 9s yeah
He knows just want to say
He distinguished and a determined
He always gets his way

(prechorus)
Somehow he managed to take
the things that I just couldn't manage
and change them into a a great big advantage
he's smooth and charming
his smile's disarming

(Chorus)
Julian
Ju-Ju-Ju-Julian
How can I compete with Julian?

Julian
Ju-Ju-Ju-Julian
The best parts of me and a little something extra

Julian
Ju-Ju-Ju-Julian
Ju-Ju-Ju
Ju-Ju-Ju
Ju-Ju-Ju
Ju-Ju-Ju
Julian

(v2)
He struts right in
from across the Atlantic
saying 'loo' and 'bird'
and 'bloody' and 'brilliant'
The girls all drool
over his accented vowels
and his thrift store suit
and cute little scowls

(prechorus)
(chorus)

(bridge)
Julian come right over here
Julian let us show you a good time, a good time
Julian let us make you smile
Julian take me home tonight

(chorus)

Careless

(v1)
I know you didn't mean the harm
I know you didn't plan this
You're just a clueless silly boy
You're just a little careless

You never knew the thing to say
You never knew the things to do
You're just a clueless silly girl
and careless me loves careless you

(CHORUS)
Careless
We were careless
Tripping over careless words
Accidentally killing each other
Careless lovers in a careless war

Careless
Stupid, careless
Best intentions gone array
Stupid careless hurting each other
Careless lovers in a careless war

(v2)
You forgot my favorite color
You forgot our 1.5
I know I shouldn't get so crazy
No big deal, I'll survive

You never asked for all my tears
They always longed to see you
They fight to flee from my silly head
and run down my face to see you
just to see you

(CHORUS)

Monday, April 19, 2010

look so good

[v1]
people don't like it
when you're in the middle
make up your, make up your mind
we wanna know it

fickle and needy
saying that your greedy
make a choice, make a choice
choose one or the other

[prechorus]
they just don't understand
its not a choice, its not just indecision (indecision)
you've got an eye for perfect subtly
you're sensitive to a world bustling with chemistry

[chorus]
why does he have to look good, look good
why does she have to look good, look good
why do they have to look good,
look so good
look so good
to me?

why does she have to look good, look good
why does he have to look good, look good
why do they have to look good,
look so good
look go fucking good
to me?

[v2]
why does it matter
why they gotta label?
make a choice, make a choice
choose one or the other

why are they asking
who you wanna be with
make up your, make up your mind
they gotta know it

[prechorus]
they just want to put you in a box
they can't control, they can't understand it
you've got a fire that melts their stupid chains
you'll burn their world and fuck their tiny brains

[CHORUS]

Sunday, April 18, 2010

didn't know

[v1]
I see you standing there across the room
suddenly I'm standing right next you
don't know how I got here so fast
just so happy you look so happy

I see you walking there across the street
suddenly I'm standing next to your feet
must be magic, can't explain it
Just so happy, can't contain it

[CHORUS]
didn't know
didn't know
I could fly so high
so high
without my wings on
forgot to put my wings back on

didn't know
didn't know
I could fly so high
so high
without my wings on
forgot to put my wings back on

with you i never need
to put my wings back on

[v2]
you've got that smile that sends me into a cloud
and floats me back down safely to the ground
don't know how you manage to do it
just do happy you look so happy

I see you walking coming around my way
its enough to make my every day
must be love now, can't explain it
just so happy, can't contain it

[Chorus]

[bridge]
didja even know that you could send me to the moon
with just a smile?
just a look
just a word
just a moment of.... (overlaps) you

didja even know that you could send me straight to heaven?
with just a smile
just a look
or beckon my soul back

from the depths of the deepest darkness baby?

[slow chorus alt1]
didn't know
didn't know I could fly so high
without my wings on
don't think i need to put my wings back on

[chorus]

what sexy is

(v1)
she made me smile
she made me nervous (nervous)
she made me look away
she made me giggle (g-g-g-giggle)

she made me laugh
she made me blush
she made me stutter (st-st-st-st-utter)
she made me, she made me, she made me

[Chorus]
when he
put on that corset
and when he
put on that wig
when she
fluttered her lashes
I just lost all my preconceptions
I just lost all my, all my, all my
I just lost all my silly preconceptions
of what sexy is

[v2]
she made me crazy
she made me wild (I went wild)
she made me cross my legs
she made me wonder (what is going on now?)

she made me question
she made me stare (I couldn't look away)
she made me stutter (st-st-st-stutter)
she made me, she made me, she made me

[CHORUS]

[bridge]
don't you try to
put her in a box
put me in a box
i'd put her in my box

don't you try to
tell me what to feel
tell me who feel
you can't tell me this ain't real

I don't care if
they say that this ain't right
she's only her tonight
I'll be with her tonight
and tomorrow
we can work
all the details
out
[bridge repeats]

[Chorus!]

a little

In the silence of the moment
I can only hear you breathe
the devastation of hesitation
the flash of doubt that I perceive

(prec)
and in that terrible heart beat when you don't give your reply

(chorus)
I die
a little
cuz you say won't say that you love me
I die
a little
cuz you won't say that you need me
I die
a little
cuz I'm scared you never will
I die
a little
come on just go in for the kill

(v2)
how can you sit there and just watch me suffer?
a wounded creature in the dirt
you see me writhing from your deafening silence
you know your words can heal my hurt

(prec 2)
but still you stand there in your indecision
killing me slowly with your inhibition
and then you ask me not to cry

(CHORUS)

Gaga

[v1]
I'm sick of walkin' around
so invisible
people pass me by
I'm so invisible
looking right on through
I'm invisible
no one ever notices
invisible me
invisible me

beat up jeans and a t
so invisible
another passerby
I'm so invisible
nothing here to see
I'm invisible
no one ever notices
invisible me
invisible me

[prechorus]
tonight that's all gonna change
the universe will rearrange
I'll glam it up, I'll steal the scene
I'll strut on in, all eyes on me....

[chorus]
Tonight I'm gonna be GAGA!
Maybe tomorrow I'll be BRITNEY!

I'll tuck it in
I'll paint my face
I'll shake my ass
I'll tear up this place

Tonight I'm gonna be GAGA!
Maybe tomorrow I'll be BRITNEY!

I'll sparkle
I'll shimmer
for all to see
and tonight everybody's in love with me

[v2]
when i command the room
I'm incredible
when I dip down so low
I'm unstoppable
when I catch your eye
I'm irresistible
when I look back and smile
I'm unforgettable

[prechorus 2]
tonight your life is going to change
your universe will rearrange
I'll glam it up, I'll steal the scene
I'll strut on in, your eyes on me....

[CHORUS]

and tonight you're all in love with me...

[CHORUS] x2

[CHORUS 2]

Say good bye to BRIAN
tonight I'm gonna be BRITNEY

I'll tuck it in
I'll paint my face
I'll shake my ass
I'll tear up this place

Goodbye BRIAN!
Tonight I'm BRITNEY!

I sparkle
I shimmer
for all to see
and tonight everybody's in love with me

that song

[v1]
it happened
in an instant
I saw you
and lost my heart

i fumbled
and i dropped it
you just smiled
and picked it up

a dizzy rush
intoxication
a desperate need
to be with you

You had my heart
I had to follow
hypnotized
lost in your fog

[prechorus]
could it be [gasp/noise]
could it be [gasp/noise]
it happened so fast
but it happened so fast
how could it be [gasp/noise]?
how could it be [gasp/noise]?
if i don't say it out loud then it won't be true

[chorus]
You
You
I only want you
every minute, every second
I'm thinking of you

You
You
I only need you
every story, every song
Reminds me of you

I only want you
I only need you
I'm thinking of you

[v2]
but I had
a little secret
i was afraid
to say out loud

I knew
I had to tell you
I didn't know
you'd throw me out

I thought
that you would save me
but instead
you turned away

you threw my heart
right back at me
it hit the ground
and broke apart

[prechorus]
[chorus]

[bridge]
and I
realized
that I
didn't love you anymore
when I
heard that song
and it
/didn't break my heart/
and in a way
/that broke my heart/
because that was when I realized
that love
can die

She swings

[[I imagine this song as power pop/pop rock. Fast overall, up beat, but slows down at some places.]]

[v1]
she smiles
feeling his hands on the small of her waist
she laughs
as she flies back and forth at a giddy pace

her heart
is soaring as high as the tip of her nose
her feet
are dancing on air as she wiggles her toes

[prechorus 1]
she says
'i think the sun is getting brighter
the clouds have gone, i wanna go higher
promise me that this is forever n-o-o-ow'

[chorus]
and she swings and she swings
and she swings and she swings

breeze always tousling her long brown hair

and she swings and she swings
and she swings and she swings

an airborne heart now without a care

and she swings and she swings
and she swings and she swings

and she swings

[v2]
she smiles
feeling his hands on the side of her hip
she gasps
as scoops her on up and goes for a dip

her mind
is whirling along to the beat of the song
her arms
encircle his neck as he rocks her along

[prechorus 2]
she says
'i think the music's getting stronger
the blues are gone, Can we go a little longer?
Promise me that this is forever n-o-o-ow'

[Chorus]

[bridge]
and she swings

through the park
on her brightest day

through a pulsing club
just to hear him say

[bridge 2]
that the pain of her past is ending
she was down but he'll swing her back up
he's thinks her broken heart's worth mending
and he swears he'll never give up
he'll never give up

[Short music break]

[bridge 3]
and she swings

through their living room
when he thought she'd be out
to the bedroom door
when she heard a shout
and she sees him swinging with another girl
she just stops and stares at her crumbing world

and she swings and she swings
and she swings and she swings
(x3)

and she swings

[v3]
she cries
leaving a note that she knows he'll find
she climbs
up on a chair to leave it all behind

her hands
shake as they fumble with the dangling string
her breath
mixes with air as she has one last swing

[PAUSE]

[CHORUS]

Sunday, April 11, 2010

Falling in love

Two strangers in the park
falling in love again

Two strangers in the park
falling in love again

[CHORUS]
And they're falling in love
with falling in love
then they're falling in love again

They're falling in love
with falling in love
then they're falling in love again


she's falling in love with his dark black hair
and he's falling in love with her eyes
she's falling in love with the slope of his neck
he's falling in love with her beautiful thighs

[Chorus]

he's falling in love with the thought of her smile
she's falling in love with his glance
he's falling in love with the tips of her fingers
she's falling in love with the thought of a chance

to fall in love
to fall in love again
to fall in love
to fall in love again
[Chorus x2]

glitter and champagne

((This song should be SUPER upbeat, dancy type song. I wrote this out in a way to remind me of the way I sing it. ignore the fact that I put parts of it in /slashes/. just notes for myself.))

Some/times/ you forget /that/ you're freaking fabulous
you stumble and break your heel

some/times/ your big /strut/ goes unnoticed
and you feel you've /lost/ your sex appeal

I've fallen down and landed on my face
many times before

I'm well acquainted with the slip of the tongue
and the taste of a dirty floor

don't
let
that
get you down

don't
for-
get
to look a-round

There
are things
that
al-ways help

to pep you up
when
life
shuts you down

[CHORUS]
g-g-g-glitter!
and champagne
g-g-g-glitter!
and champagne!

when life just sucks
and you're going insane
sprinkle glitter everywhere
and drink champagne

and drink champagne

he's walking away, slow motion heart break
and she never calls you back

he forgot your name, she screamed out another
the reds all fade to black

you're lost in the fog, you forgot your bread crumbs
you're tripping on your dress

forget what they said, drown all your sorrows
you're such a sexy mess

nevermind
the
stupid conclusions

Just rethink
all
your
desperate delusions

There
are things
that
al-ways help

to pep you up
when
life
shuts you down

[CHORUS x3]

A tale of 2 marios

[v1]
mario
is 10 feet tall
mario
is very small
mario
is singular
mario
is popular

mario
is shiny and new
mario
is tried and true
mario
has caught her eye
mario
believes her lie

[prechorus]
she loves mario
then she loves mario
then she loves mario again

[chorus]
choose
choose
its time for you to choose
make up your mind, set someone free
you can't sing a duet, with 1, 2, 3

choose
choose
or everyone will lose
make up your mind, set someone free
you can't sing a duet, with 1, 2, 3
1, 2
3

[v3]
mario
has pretty lips
mario
has skinny hips
mario
lacks poise and grace
mario
has a pretty face

mario
is never late
mario
forgot a date
mario
always understands
mario
is in her long term plans

Can she change her plans?
Will she change her plans?


[prechorus]
[BRIDGE]
mario and mario
can't see what's going on
mario and mario
just names in a worn out love song
mario and mario
are fighting for her heart and mind
beauty striking two marios completely stupid blind
how can they be so blind?
She'll leave them both behind.

[prechorus]

Stardust

A million years ago
in a blinding flash
the stars exploded
with a deafening crash
they spread their pollen across the galaxy
and a million years later became you and me
you and me

When I see you
so depressed
I can't believe
you aren't impressed
with the wonder
that's inside of you
you're amazing
there's nothing you can't do
I believe in you

[CHORUS]
You are stardust
you are magical
You are stardust
you're invincible
you are stardust
so spectacular
and someday they all will see
you're stardust, baby

I've always known
you were something great
from the moment we met
you just illuminate
you're enchanting
you're one of a kind
you're the greatest
leave your doubts behind
and you will find...

[CHORUS]


Sometimes you fall
but don't we all?
and sometimes you forget
that you're a magical blinding light
sometimes they say
that you're light will fade someday
but everytime they doubt
you double up
do your part
dig on deep inside that heart
turn around
stand up tall
flash so bright
that you blow
them
all
away

you always blow them all away
COME ON AND BLOW THEM ALL AWAY!

[CHORUS]

Who am I?

I'm a needy thing
can't be alone
I'm a desperate creature
searching for a home
I'm a painted clown
who lives to entertain
I'm a strutting peacock
loud and vain

[Chorus]
Who am i when I'm all alone (x3)
Who am I?

I'm a child
Who's getting older
A crier
Who needs a shoulder
A poet
Who can't find the right words to say
Doesn't matter anyway


I fight
for the excitement
I cry
just to feel it
I sing
so they will watch me
I flirt
so you will want me


[CHORUS]

Do I exist when no one's looking?
Who am I? Who am I?
Or when I'm lying in the dark?
Who am I? Who am I?
And if I were to scream at the top of my lungs
on the busy, crowded street
in the middle of the day
would they all look away
or would someone finally see
right through me
and tell me just who i am?

[Chorus]

Tuesday, April 6, 2010

the right words to say

[V1]
Take a secret song
sing it wrong
then stick it in your pocket

Take a hidden tune
fail to croon
then save it in a locket

[Chorus]
somethings you can't just toss away
a melody you long to play
save it for a better day
until you find the right words to say

the right words to say

the right words to say

[V2]
Search for the word
you heard
but it came from inside

give up the fight
good night
well, at least you tried

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE]
words wandering around the room
so exposed and uncontainable
slipping wildly out of reach
chase them round until I'm out of breath

I'm out of breath

out of

breath

[chorus]

My First Official Challenge (Not lyrics)

I have received my first official artistic challenge. Janice pointed out that all my songs are negative and sad and so has challenged me to write one positive/happy song a week. I have decided to accept this challenge on the grounds that the lyrics don't have to be any good. :P I guess we will see what comes of this.

The exact words were:

"something happy

or at least positive.

or not about something devastating."

FRIEND DAY

[[PREFACE: Janice challenged me to write a happy song. So.. uh... here's my first ever attempt at a happy song. It's awful. LOL. Suck it.]]

snapping a pic
rocking the mall
having a drink
having a ball

shopping for nothing
laughing at 2s
mani pedi
nothing to lose!

[Chorus]
Friend day
friend day
just us two rocking a friend day

friend day
friend day
update your status it's a friend day


Hanging around
watching cooking shows
flipping the channels
anything goes

then cruising to nowhere
who knows where it ends
even running out of gas
is fun with your friends

[CHORUS]

Can I have my heart back?

can I have my heart back?
you're done using it anyway
I know I gave it to you
but you're gonna throw it away

walk away

I'm always late
I'm always behind
I'm never there
I'm always unkind
I say the wrong thing
at the wrong moment

I don't understand
I don't even try
I leave a big mess
I just make you cry
I'm insensitive
to all your inner turmoil

I don't pick up my clothes
I don't clean up my mess
I don't notice your hair
and I couldn't care less
I'm impossible to live with
you'd be better off alone

[chorus]
I never never listen to what you say
just walk away
just walk away

I never never listen to a single thing you say
anyway
just walk away
just walk away

just walk away

You've had enough
you're fed up with me
you're sick of waiting
you wanna be free
you're done putting up with all my
crazy bullshit

You've forgiven too much
You've waited too long
you're done putting up
you're heard the last song
you're done waiting for this kid at heart
to grow up finally

[CHORUS]

I'm changing too late
You've made up your mind
I oughta give up
You're gonna leave me behind

you're packing your bags
I beg you to stay
I'm crying alone
you're driving away

[CHORUS]

oranges and limes

oranges and limes
oranges and limes
everything comes down to
oranges and limes

looked up
spoke out
shot down
turned off

oranges and limes
oranges and limes
I did it all for
oranges and limes


oranges and limes
oranges and limes
everything comes down to
oranges and limes

shut up
shut out
shut down
shut off

oranges and limes
oranges and limes
everything comes down to
oranges and limes

stood up
walked out
sat down
drove off

oranges and limes
oranges and limes
I did it all for
oranges and limes

what, what, what

when they look at me
what do they see
a sprite, a sparkle, a novelty?

and when they look elsewhere
do i disappear
fade into the white space underneath your chair?

[CHORUS]
what, what, what
am I suppose to be?
how, how, how
can I find out?
when, when, when
will I be me?
why, why, why
am I always so full of doubt?

the shadow of a moment
a glimmer of enjoyment
then falling face down into a pool of resentment

when you see this face
can you place
when it fits in time and space?

[chorus]

dreams

i rise
venture forth outside
in pursuit of you
the woman of my dreams

you called
you didnt know you called
a melody i love
drifting in on a lonesome breeze

i was sitting here, here
you're somewhere out there, there
i'll follow your trail
until i find you in your room
waiting for me, i presume
I'll follow the tune to get to you
the woman of my dreams

It's strange,
the way you know my soul
without knowing me
you know it all
You see inside
you see beyond
and with a breath
I'll follow you

i was sitting here, here
you're somewhere out there, there
i'll follow your trail
until i find you in your room
waiting for me, i presume
I'll follow the tune to get to you
the woman of my dreams


that song you played
it was for me
i know it was
so dont pretend
dont act surprised
just settle down
i'm here for you
we're meant to be
i know its true

i was sitting here, here
you're somewhere out there, there
i'll follow your trail
until i find you in your room
waiting for me, i presume
I'll follow the tune to get to you
the woman of my dreams

PANIC

tossed in the covers
ripped up pants
kicked in the corner
take a chance
darkness all around
push into your soul
then tumble to the ground
take then lose control

Panic!
i need more, i need more
Panic!
gimme more, gimme more
Panic!
don't stop, don't stop
and we'll climb on up
up to the top

take then lose control
then tumble to the ground
push into your soul
darkness all around
take that chance
kicked into the corner
ripped up pants
tossed into the covers

Panic!
i need more, i need more
Panic!
gimme more, gimme more
Panic!
don't stop, don't stop
and we'll climb on up
up to the top

Revelation

[v1]
the windows are open
the lights are on
the sounds are creeping to the lawn

somehow she sleeps
through all the noise
snoring softly, lacking poise

mindless drifting
far away
chasing shadows from the day

[chorus]
Revelation
Revelation
unable to create that
Revelation

Revelation
What's the point of a
Revelation?

Revelation
fuck this noise I want a
Revelation

[v2]
i try to do it
to cross her out
i clutch the weapon but have a doubt

what if they catch me?
what if they see?
i'd do it for her but not to me

she stirs on her pillow
eyes flutter like mice
i lose the power to take your advice

[Chorus]

[bridge]
revelation
i'll run out that door
revelation
i don't need you anymore
revelation
you're a beautiful mess
revelation
and I'm better
so much better
I'll be better
you-less.

Snap

I didn't ask for this
pulled the covers over my head
dodged the loathsome kiss
drowned in what you said

helpless
stalling
pressured
falling
hopeless
crying
fractured
then
SNAP

Way up

Way up
Way way up
way up
looking down
down down
looking down at you

What you gonna do about it
stand up straighter
attempt to meet my eye
I'm way up here
You're way down there
I'm looking down at you

Way up up up
looking down down down
up down up down up down up down

1000 miles a minute
going
coming
going
coming
going
coming

It's not that I think I'm better than you
It's just that I'm up here
sailing through like it's nothing
and you're still down there
always held down by something

Way up up up
looking down down down
up down up down up down up down

Way up up up
looking down down down
up down up down up down up down

One Night

See them wandering around
smug fat faces
they don't understand

and there is the girl that I loved
dirty and used
from a one night stand
a one night stand

I can not explain the low now
I can not tell you why
I can not stop these feelings
I can not look away from you

Beautiful you
Your dirt smudged face
a look of disgrace

one night stand

You don't have to tell me
I could read it in your eyes
You didn't mean to hurt me
and you can't stand to lie

Everyone attracts you
and you can't bear to stop
No one will forget

your large brown eyes
that impish smile
a quiet sigh
and then goodbye

one night stand

((music))

One night one night one night one night one night one night one night one night stand

Peligroso

me dijo es tan peligroso
pero no puedo creer
no me dijo es peligroso
mi lugar, mi hogar

no sabes que es peligroso
los moments sin razon
no hay nada que es mas peligroso
tan sientos en mi corazon

nadie pueden lastimar me
mas que li mismo
porque nadie saben mis faltas
mas que yo

[chorus]
peli...peligroso
pero no tengo miedo
peli... peligroso
pero no soy timido

cuidate nina
los vampiros te buscan
siempre tienen hambre
para suenos que no puedan parrar

cuidate nina
porque todas te miran
y tus ojos han causado
un guerra de corazon

no me dijo nada
porque no puedo escuchar
calmate cochinos
solemente soy la duena de la mar

[CHORUS]

no no no no me dijo
no no no no me dijo
no no no no me dijo
no no no no me dijo

Waiting

Waiting, waiting, always waiting
Never knowing what comes next
Step up here now stand right there now
Waiting for whatever's next

Just be patient, child
Don't you panic, child
Wait a minute, child
and you'll see something new is rising from the sea

calm down
breathe
take a pause
think it through
doubt the cause

can't you see we know what's best?
shut your mouth and don't digress

A little altered

I'm a little altered
A little pissed
A little panicked
Triple kissed
A bit resentful
A bit confused
A bit frightened
Completely used

Lying here wondering what will be
Tomorrow will they come for me
The suits are shaking full of fright
That someone has me in his sight

((repeat all))

two people sitting on a park bench

[v1]
tiny freckles dance around your dark, engaging eyes
sprinkles on the cupcake frosted carefully with sighs

teenaged girls caught staring on a sunny windy day
smiling kinda shyly in that special girlie way

i'm glad I ordered lemon, hope your cookies taste good too
you're looking all around and I'm just looking straight at you

[chorus]
here we are
two people
sitting on a park bench... smiling like we know things...

here we are
two people
sitting on a park bench... smiling like we know things...

but who knows... what the future brings
who knows... what the future brings

[v2]
you'll forget to love me when i forget to smile
saying that we're sorry but its been dead a while

searching for some meaning when meaning isn't there
i'll fail, again, to notice that you cut off all your hair

does it really matter that we'll go out separate ways?
should we get together, even if just for 3 days?

[CHORUS]

[bridge 1]
and even when
I smile again
you won't be there
so will it matter?

and even when
I love again
she won't be you
so will it matter?

can it matter?

does it ever really matter?

[CHORUS]

you grin to yourself before you kiss me goodbye
i wander away, slowly, never knowing why

I think of your pouty lips and you think of my hands
i'm searching for comfort, you want someone who understands

[CHORUS]

Eating Breath...

Eating breath

(v1)
What are we doing
Is this real or did I dream
I swear I see through you

Maybe i'm just eating breath

Where did the day go
It was just 3
I haven't moved in ages

Maybe I'm just eating breath

(chorus)
Don't know
Don't know anything
Don't know
Don't know anything anymore

Can't tell
Can't tell anything
Can't tell
Can't tell anything anymore

Maybe I'm just eating breath

(v2)
Could I be lost now?
On a street I've walked before
nothing's familiar

Maybe I'm just eating breath

A specter wanders by
an echo from a memory
no smile of recognition

Maybe I'm just eating breath

(CHORUS)

as a corpse's smile.

Trip

((I hear this song with a very playful tune... maybe even xylophone. i actually just recorded an a capella version of this in case you like it and want to hear the tune I am thinking of. ))

[v1]
Under the ground
around the corner
she waits

Chasing a sound
around the darkness
she gaits

Do it yourself
no one can help you
its true

somebody said
you'll find the answers
in you

[chorus]
Trip on a rock
fall in a hole
spinning around
losing control
upside is down
downside is in
never too soon
try it again

[v2]
radio waves
always surround us
they say

creeping around
then penetrating
each day

she wanders on
limping slowly
alone

tries to get help
but there's no signal
on the phone

[CHORUS]

[bridge]
Didn't anyone tell you
not to play on your own?

Didn't anyone warn you
never stray far from home?

Chasing little white rabbits
will only cause you distress

Write this down on your forearm
It'll be on the test

[v3]
Stop by a pool
gaze into it
and see

A glimpse of the past
an unrelated
reality

She falls to the ground
around her shadows
amass

Slip from the edge
the final spiral
at last

[CHORUS]

a cracked mind

[v1]
Wake up in the middle of the day
didn't know I was sleeping

I'm tuned to the wrong frequency
alone in my delusion

everyone else in unison
sharing some hidden reality

I see a woman falling into the void
but somewhere the laugh track is echoing

[chorus]
this is a sign of a cracked mind
floating away from reality
the shimmering eyes that you once loved
the hands of a thief stealing over me

this is a sign of the last straw
floating away with my sanity
if you stab me to death with my broken heart
how can I bleed? Will I still bleed?

[v2]
look up can't believe the clock is right
didn't know time was drifting

I'm lost in a foreign future past
searching for the meaning

everyone else seems so alive
vulgar and bright and seething

I see their faces full of joy
but somehow I just hear screaming


[chorus]

[bridge]
How could the voice that soothed, now strike fear in me?
How could the touch that thrilled, bruise my body?
The face that I love I now despise...
How could those eyes... be... the same eyes?
Are those yours eyes?
Were those your eyes?
I once loved those eyes

[chorus]

Don't

[[Sweeping ballad ala the old days]]
Don't say you love me til you know me
Don't say you love me til its sure
Love isn't just a silly game, girl
Love can be hard work and a chore

Don't say you love me til you know me
Don't say you love me til its sure
Love isn't instant,
it takes time, girl
its not just your feelings,
its much more

Til you've face my indecisions
and my lack of inhibitions
til you've met my every part

Til you've seen me cross and lazy
being stupid, acting crazy
I don't want you to give me your heart

People take love much too lightly
falling for every pretty face
I think that love should be forever
something that can not be displaced

Maybe we have different definitions
Maybe I overthink it all
But I've seen love turn into madness
I've seen love destroy the soul

Til you've seen my ugly side
and held me while I've cried
I don't think love could start

Til I know you in and out
and I've overcome my doubt
I just can't give you my heart

Don't say you love me til you know me
Don't say I'm sent from above
I know you're feelings are exciting
but infatuation isn't love

take it

Don't question

Don't think

Don't move

Don't blink

Shut up and take it like a man

Don't leave

Don't hestitate

Don't push

Don't postulate

Shut up and take it like a man

I finally got you right here where I want you

I finally trapped you you're mine

I don't give a fuck if you're screaming or your hurting

Shut up and take it like a man

Don't act like you don't want me

Don't act like you don't need me

Don't act like you don't feel me

Don't act like you don't love me

(repeat of 'don't act like' verses to hypnotic swelling music til the music reaches a climax and explodes into noise then goes dead.... Then there is panting... Then....)

Shut up and take it like a man

Wasabi

Wasabi
leapt up from the plate
Ginger laughed
Thinking it was great
Who knew
Who knew
Who knew how it would end
Surprise attack
A secret plot unfurled
Unprepared
The colors pulsed and whirled
(crazy frantic battle and chase music that ends tragically)
Who knew
Who knew
Who knew how it would end
Ginger cries
Mourning her great loss
Wasabi lies
Awash it soy sauce
Who knew.......

Japanese

[v1]
you say you know me
you say you know me better than i know myself

you say you get me
you say you get me and i'm this and that and nothing else

how are you sure that you see what i am
how are you sure that i'm not a secret shape shifter coming from the mountains?

[c]
how do you know I'm not androgyne?
or 10 ft tall?
or secretly your liver?

can you be sure I'm not from the stars
or made of gold?
maybe I'm japanese!

[v2]
your eyes roll
your eyes roll when I spout my newest theory

your head shakes
your head shakes and you smile that knowing smile

I'm shot down and left on the ground bleeding
I'm shot down ...are you sure it's blood and not an elixir to could cure metrophobia?

[c]
CHORUS

[b]
you're sure of everything
and I'm always questioning
maybe you're right
but maybe....
maybe....
maybe.... I'm Japanese!

[c]
CHORUS

Georgia

hola georgia
i dont hear a thing that you say
hola georgia
i wouldn't understand anyway

bonjour georgia
no oiga las palabras que hablas
bonjour georgia
no puedo entender nunca mas

hello georgia
Je ne vous entends pas
hello georgia
Je ne vous comprends pas

It's not that I don't speak your language
It's not that you don't speak clear
It's just so hard for me to listen
when my heart's pounding in my ears

Hola Georgia
[Music]
Bonjour Georgia
[Music]
Hello.... [sigh]..... Georgia
