No more melodies They lack impact, they're petty They've been made up already

And I look back and the fact is  I had fun, fumbling around All the advice I shunned

And you can hear our sad brains screaming

But I just won't listen Won't you go away, turn yourself in You're no good at confession

I certainly haven't been shopping for any new shoes And I certainly haven't been spreading myself around

Better that I break the window Than miss what I should see

And I think if I didn't have to kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill myself doing it Maybe I wouldn't think so much of you

And you looked as sincere as a dog Just as sincere as a dog does When it's the food on your lips with which it's in love

Take the shade from the canvas and leave me the white Let me sink in the silence that echoes inside And don't bother leaving the light on

Everything good, I deem too good to be true Everything else is just a bore Everything I have to look forward to Has a pretty painful and very imposing before

And it doesn't make sense

If I need you, I'll just use your simple name Only kisses on the cheek from now on

My eyes got fixed when my mind got soul It may look like I'm concentrated On a very clear view But I'm as good as asleep

I'm resigned to sail on through

I just need to be reassured Do you just deal it out, or can you deal with all that I lay down?

Let this thing run its route Fast as you can

Those boom times went bust My feet of clay, they dried to dust The red isn't the red we painted

But he's been pretty much yellow and I've been kind of blue But all I can see is red, red, red, red, red, now What am I gonna do

I have too been playing with fifty-two cards Just 'cause I play so far from my vest Whatever I've got, I've got no reason to guard

So what would an angel say The devil wants to know

'Cause I'm slow like honey, and heavy with mood

So if you catch me trying to Find my way into your heart

Sometimes my mind don't shake and shift But most of the time, it does And I get to the place where I'm begging for a lift

Or I just really used to love him Or I just really used to love him Or I just really used to love him

If you really want to Go to the periphery

Or I just really used to love him I sure hope that's it I knew that to keep in touch Would do me deep in dutch

I'm a tulip in a cup I stand no chance of growing up I've made my peace, I'm dead, I'm done I watch you live to have my fun

And maybe I'd relax, let my breast just bust open My heart's made of parts of all that surround me

Love ridden, I've looked at you With the focus I gave to my birthday candles I've wished on the lidded blue flames under your brow

I was feeding on the need for you to know me Devastated at the rate you fell below me What wasted unconditional love

I just wanna feel everything So I'm gonna try to be still now

That your wicked words should work in holding me down No, it doesn't seem right To take information given at close range

Because the price is paid, and there’s nothing left to grieve

And I wanna crawl in with you, but I cry instead

I've been a bad, bad girl I've been careless with a delicate man And it's a sad, sad world When a girl will break a boy just because she can

And you will see my face as I figure how to kill what I cannot catch So I say, and on I go

Don't make it a big deal, don't be so sensitive We're not playing a game anymore, you don't have to be so defensive

And in a little while we'll only have to wave My hand won't hold you down no more The path is clear to follow through I stood too long in the way of the door

And I must decide, if you must deride That I’m much obliged to up and go I’ll idealize, then realize that it’s no sacrifice Because the price is paid, and there’s nothing left to grieve

It's hard enough even trying to be civil to myself Please forgive me for my distance The pain is evident in my existence

Whatcha looking at me for? I'm no good at math

All my life is on me now Hail the pages turning

And I must decide, if you must deride

But daddy longlegs, I feel that I'm finally growing weary Of waiting to be consumed by you Give me the first taste Let it begin, heaven cannot wait forever

I mean to prove I mean to move in my own way, and say I've been getting along for long before you came into the play I am the baby of the family, it happens, so

What could I do, but spend my best O' sailor, why'd you do it What'd you do that for Saying there's nothing to it

Singing again, sing, sing again

Saying there's nothing to it And then letting it go by the boards And after waiting, fighting patiently on my knees All the other stuff tired itself out first, not me

Am I your gal, or should I get out of town? I just need to be reassured Do you just deal it out, or can you deal with all that I lay down?

I'm trying to find a place I belong And I suddenly feel like a different person From the roots of my soul comes a gentle coercion
