Big Blue Whale
03:16
|

Oh big blue whale,
You sail the sea
Oh big blue whale,
Do you fancy me?
Oh I fancy you
I’d ride into,
The amber sunset,
On your back
Oh big blue whale,
You rule the sea
Oh big blue whale,
Do you fancy me?
Oh I fancy you
I’d ride into,
The sky at night,
Holding oh so tight…
To your flippers in the wind
The waves would carry us so far
We’d share a squid by candlelight
Then swim together, side by side
Oh big blue whale,
You are a chapter book
You are a story I’ll sail,
Like Captain Cook
To navigate,
Thru rising tides
Protect me,
From my lonely nights
I’m on an island of my own out here
And the waves, they make it hard to steer,
This imaginary love affair,
This voyage to become a pair
Like oars aboard a rowing boat,
They lean into the vessel’s bow,
And paddle bravely thru the waves,
Together rowing towards their great escape

City
02:41
|

I was walking in the city, and I took a right
I took a right
I was walking in the city, and I took a right
I took a right
I was feeling kind of restless
My bones were shaking right between my knees
I was feeling kind of restless
My feet were walking circles in the street
My brain it froze,
But words they came,
Like waterfalls,
Whose tongues had thawed
I was walking in the city, and I took a right
I took a right
I was walking in the city, and I took a right
I took a right
I was wanting to jump out of my skin,
Into an invisible world,
Where everyone is water,
And their faces drip away on down the drain
My skin, it crawled
My fingers wept
The air had crawled
Into my breath
And I was feeling kind of dizzy
And I wasn’t alright
I was feeling kind of tongue-tied
But the words, they came out right

Enough
04:46
|

Find a penny, pick it up
Hope that it’ll be enough
Save it for a rainy day,
When I’ll have to pay my way
Find a penny, pick it up
Hope that it’ll be good luck
Wish I didn’t have to say,
“Enough’s enough”
Inch by Inch
Foot by Foot
Drop by Drop
Tick by Tock
Inch by Inch
Drip by Drop
Hand by Foot
Hand to Clock
The holes in your pocket don’t explain
The change falling out can’t be blamed
I wish you could say all the words of your old heart
I wish you could say all the words of your older soul
I wish you could say the words your heart plays
I wish it wasn’t so easy for you to turn away
But I know,
When you know that you don’t know,
You know
I wish I could pay for the words of your old heart
I wish I could buy all the words of your older soul
I wish I could find all the pennies on the ground
I would add them up until I had enough
Back to the way things were
Now, where did I leave off?
Back to the way things were
Now, where did I leave off?

Firearm

Kill the little baby inside
Kill the tiny man with the shotgun pistol
Kill the little baby inside
Kill the tiny man with the shotgun pistol
Kill the little baby inside
Kill the tiny man with the loaded firearm
Kill the little man nearby
Kill what’s being born in the bigger body
Fire one for me
Let’s fire two,
Until we bleed back into…
Fire one for me
Let’s fire three,
Until we fall back into form
We were born in a tiny world
We will die a tiny death
Little men, they rest inside
They will die a tiny death

Groundhog Day
03:23
|

Can’t wait to wake up
Can’t wait to go to sleep
Can’t wait to,
Do it all again!
Can’t wait to go to work
Can’t wait to go to sleep
Can’t wait to,
Do it all again!
Same face, same mirror
Same thoughts, same fears
Set off- 8:08!
I am waiting,
On and on and on
And I’m tired of it all
I’m tired but I’ll,
Do it all again!
All I do,
Is repeat my days because I’m so afraid of change
All I say,
Are the words that bled onto my tongue and came out of my lung
Yesterday,
It was the same,
But with a different number and a different name
I needed change,
So I looked to you and said…
“I’m married to the sea,
And you’re married to the waves,
Why can’t we swim away?”
If seasons were a day,
And a day was just an hour,
Would flowers bloom and wilt away,
On the same day?
Can’t wait to wake up
Can’t wait to go to sleep
Can’t wait to,
Do it all again.

Helicopter
03:19
|
|||
You are a pterodactyl with a helicopter’s wing
You are a prehistoric bird who’s taken to the wind
I’ll catch your eye and make you sigh a million heartaches
Until you fly, over high and dangerous places
You are a pterodactyl with a helicopter’s wing
You’re gonna fly into the walls of a new print magazine
You’ll make the headlines for famous favors,
To the queen of ordinary opportunity
You have a broken needle and your record’s standing still
You’ve got a diamond suitcase and a treasure chest of bills
You walk in strides, leaping over,
Silent, mummified brides from your old history,
Of hovering and forward flights
You are a falling plane crash and your engine is on fire
Your arm is making faces as you wave into the wind,
And pass me by, and make me cry a million heartaches
Up in the sky, I see archives from your history,
Of hovering and fallen flights

New diamond ring I could buy
White pearl, open my eye
Fight me!
I know you want to
Fight me!
I know I want you
Fight me!
I know you want to
Fight me!
I know I want you
Free,
It’s a loaded gun,
A one-handed relay run
Fight me!
I know you want to
Fight me!
I know I want you
Fight me! I know you want to
Fight me!
I know I want you
Hey, hey, hey!
Liar
Stay, stay, stay!
Admire
Fight me,
I know you want to
Fight me,
I know I want to
View,
It’s an open sea
Throw the lock in the key
Fight me!
I know you want to
Fight me!
I know I want you
Fight me!
I know you want to
Fight me!
I know I want you

Black balloons
Will there be black balloons at my funeral,
If I die on the eighth day of July?
If I can make it to that day,
If I can last until that day,
If I can make it through this day…
I like to think I do not really live here
I don’t really think that I exist here
And there’s no one to think of or think of me
And that makes me happy and relieved,
That I won’t have to feel the sun,
Intrude and roar with its sharp tongue
No, there’s no one
Nothing, it’s quiet
So quiet
It’s still
And so quiet inside
But the rising of the tides is never far behind
Springs come as highs, they come disguised
But I know they lie,
They’ll leave me dry
They’ll leave me dry every time
They’ll come and leave me dry every time
I like to think I do not really live here
I don’t really think that I exist here
And there’s no one to think of or think of me
And that makes me happy and relieved,
That I won’t have to feel the sun,
Intrude and roar with its sharp tongue
No, there’s no one
Nothing
It’s quiet

Knock Out
01:55
|

I love how you can’t get me out of your head
I’ve got a gun to your ear and a rope to your neck
And I’ll knock you out, yeah,
Fast as I can
I’ll knock you down, yeah,
Fast as I can
I love how you make me the only one,
That you would call when you are all alone and looking for fun
Yeah, let’s get out, out, out of this place
Yeah, take me out, yeah, out of this place
The words that you speak come out only at night
All the girls are lined up, abhoring yet hoping, thinking you might,
Call them
Yeah, I don’t care
Yeah, call them
Eh, I don’t care
You talk to your friends,
Like we’ve got this thing
“You are the one.”
“I am the one,”
You want me to believe
“You turn me on.”
Oh, no!
-No, I don’t care
“I turn you on.”
Oh, yeah?
-Yeah, I don’t care
I love how you can’t get me out of your head
I’ve got a gun to your ear and a rope to your neck
And I’ll knock you out
Oh yeah,
Fast as I can
I’ll knock you down
Oh yeah,
Fast as I can
I’ll knock you out
Oh yeah,
Fast as I can
I’ll knock you down
Oh yeah,
Fast as I can

Million Pieces
03:08
|
|||
If I told you I really wanted to be a star,
Would you cut me back down to size?
I shrivel in your eyes
I get so small,
My head it hardly leaves the floor
If I met you when I was seven on the tire swing,
Would you be tired of my tricks by now?
Would you be saying, “Girl, your milk’s gone sour,”
“It’s time I take you off the shelf.”
Rolling liar’s dice on a joker’s table
You’re breaking my words into a million pieces
Telling me stories of a fairy tale fable
I’m breaking your words into a million pieces
If you left me,
So you could be a big pop rock star,
I would have to tell my jealousy,
To breathe a sigh of integrity
I need a chorus of my own
But if I am stuck here for one more year,
And bad luck catches up with me…
If I’m left here still pouring drinks,
I’ll pour my precious pity down the drain
Because I’m betting bills,
That I don’t even have
I’m faking fame,
Inside my phantom mind
You tell me, “Hon, oh yeah, I’ll take you far.”
I’ll tell you, dear, “You never stick to your word.”
Rolling liar’s dice on a joker’s table
You’re breaking my dreams into a million pieces
Telling me stories of a fairy tale fable
I’m breaking your dreams into a million pieces
You’re breaking my dreams into a million pieces
I’m breaking your dreams into a million pieces
I’m breaking my dreams into a million pieces

Newlywed
02:26
|

I don’t belong in one of these rooms
I don’t belong in one of these rooms
I don’t belong, now that holidays are over
I don’t belong, I don’t belong
I’m an unknown in one of these rooms
I am a stranger lost in this room
No, I don’t belong, now that holidays are over
I don’t belong, no, I don’t belong
I could be in love with a man everyday,
Or I could be alone and in love anyway
I could be in love with a man everyday
I could be alone and in love anyway
I don’t belong in one of these rooms
Something is wrong with the key of this tune
I was singing along to the hum of my chest,
But something went wrong, now the honeymoon is over
I don’t exist for this month and a day
I’m a newlywed on holiday
I am tapping my feet to the beat of his chest,
But I don’t belong in this wedding dress!
I could be in love with a man everyday,
Or I could be alone and in love anyway
I could be in love with one man everyday
I could be alone and in love anyway
I could be in love with a man everyday,
Or I could be alone and in love anyway
I could be in love with one man everyday
I could be alone and in love anyway
I could be in love…
I could be in love…

One Trick Pony

We know how it ends, but we’re gonna begin
We know how it ends, but we’re gonna begin
We know how it ends, but we’re gonna begin
We know how it ends, but we’re gonna begin
Oooooh, oooooh
We could just be friends, like in kindergarten
We could play house, like in first grade
We could sleep together like mommy and daddy do
We could sleep together, it would just be a game
One trick pony,
Show me what I want to see
One hit wonder,
Sing me what I want to sing
One trick pony,
I think you took me for my last ride
We know how it ends, but we’re gonna begin
We know how it ends, but we’re gonna begin
We know how it ends, but we’re gonna begin
We know how it goes, but we’re gonna give in
Oooooh, oooooh
If we could build a treehouse and make it rain,
Then we could stay together and we’d feel no pain
We could hold hands all winter long…
Or maybe just tonight, would that be so wrong?
One trick pony,
Show me what I want to see
One hit wonder,
Sing me what I want to sing
One trick pony,
I think you took me for my last ride
One trick pony,
Show me what I want to see
One hit wonder,
Sing me what I want to sing
One trick pony,
I think you took me for my last ride
Oooooh, oooooh

Pearl

|

Let’s give this time another turn, baby
I know there’s more to this than words, baby
Let’s tease the tinsel on the tree,
Cuz I’m still falling at your feet, baby
I imagined me in your world
You would be the oyster and I’d be the pearl
You were the only girl
You were the only girl
You only like me for my shoes, baby
Why can’t we take this on the road, baby?
It seems you’ve taken me away,
I still haven’t changed my mind, baby
I imagined me in your world
You would be the oyster and I’d be the pearl
You were the only girl
You were the only girl

Question

There is just one thing I want to know
There is just one thing I want to know
There is just one thing I’d like to know
There’s an answer I’ve been waiting for
There is just one thing I’d like to ask
There is one more thing you need to tell
This one time only, I must know
This one time, won’t you tell-
Oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why
Oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why
Oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why
Oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why

Rally Raid
02:36
|
|||
I’ve been reading my life like a book on a tape
I’ve been waiting for the end to hear my fate
I’ve been studying all the words so I can say my lines
I’ve been reading my life from inside my mind
Let’s go, rally raid!
Drive me to the dying age
I want to know, death row-
How long til the final show goes down?
I’ve been dreaming my death from a holding cell
I’ve been doing my time, but I cannot tell now,
If this girl over here has got her head on straight,
Or if she’s pulling my leg just to see it break
She said,
It’s one for the money and it’s two for the show
Three, I got a shiny dollar
Four, I’m out the door
And if I make it out alone, well then I’ll be fine
It only takes one man for a suicide
Let’s go, rally raid!
Drive me to the dying age
I want to know, death row-
Who will win the final show?
I bet, one on Lucky 63
One on, Lucky 31
I’ve been looking for a way I can pass the time
I’ve been searching for a way I can leave my mind
I’ve been running in a circle because I can’t slow down
But I’ve got this funny feeling I should turn around
Let’s go to the final show
I want to know who wins and who gets old
Let’s go to death row
Let’s bet our money on five fourfolds
I want to go, rally raid!
I want to know who wins and who gets paid
I want to go, rally raid!
I want to bet my money and lay the stakes
I’ve got, one on Lucky 63
One on, Lucky 31

Turn It Up
02:36
|

You walk, you walk
I like the way you walk
You draw, you draw
I see the way you draw
You talk, I talk
I like it when you talk
You stop, we stop
It’s quiet
And everything disappears
It’s still, and a hole is left between my ears
And everything disappears
The seasons change like a shifting of gears
You ride, you ride
I watch you ride your bike
You walk, you walk
I watch you lift your feet
We talk, you talk
I let our eyes meet
You stop, we stop
It’s silent
And trees start to lose their leaves
The dirt turns to mud, like a scab that bleeds
And everything disappears,
Like a break in a song as the chorus nears…
Turn it on, turn it up!
It’s something new, and you think it’s love
Turn it on, turn it up!
Before the record ends and I’ve had enough
You’ve got, you’ve got
A dagger in your pocket
You’ve lost, you’ve lost
The blade on your tongue
You’ve got, I’ve got
Led Zeppelin III
You play it, we’ll play
Just call me “Tangerine,”
And I’ll kiss your lips
As long as you keep playing all the hits,
I’ll hum along til the album’s end,
Then press rewind and start it again
Turn it on, turn it up!
It’s something new, and you think it’s love
Turn it on, turn it up!
So the song drowns out the drone of your breath
And I’ll be in love,
And I’ll be in love
And I’ll be in love,
And I’ll be in love
And I’ll be in love,
And I’ll be in love
And I’ll be in love,
And I’ll be in love
And I’ll be in love, I’ll be in love
With the melody, or maybe with the beat
And I’ll be in love, I’ll be in love
With the melody or maybe with the beat
And I’ll be in love, I’ll be in love
With the melody or maybe with the beat
And I’ll be in love, I’ll be in love
With the melody or maybe with the beat

You’re not my secret admirer
I’m not your new holiday
You’re not my secret admirer
I’m not your new holiday
Do you think I’m pretty?
Enough for magazines?
Would I be pretty if I was on TV?
Am I pretty enough for "Tiger Beat"?
Or am I just pretty underneath?
Underneath?
Underneath?
Underneath??
You’re not my secret admirer
I’m not your new holiday
You’re not my secret admirer
I’m not your new holiday
I think you’re pretty enough for magazines
You’re so pretty you could be on TV
You’re not so pretty when you’re talking
You are not so pretty underneath!
Underneath!
Underneath!
Underneath!
I’m not your secret admirer
You’re not my new holiday
I’m not your secret admirer
You’re not my new holiday
I’m not your secret admirer
You’re not my new holiday

You’re not my new holiday!

Voices
02:12

You can sell it by the taste on your lips
I can taste it like the candy of your rock ’n’ roll hits
You can hear ‘em, the voices
I can hear ‘em, the voices
You can drink it like a coffee cup brewing,
And snort it like a powder in the back room
You can use ‘em, the voices
I can use’ em, the voices
I can feel it like a paper plane landing
And hear it like the engine of a 740 jet plane,
Breaking for landing
I feel my skin…
Bursting at the seams like a rag doll
Bursting like a balloon floating up for air
Bursting at the seams like a rag doll
Bursting like a balloon floating up for air
You can sip it like a shot of fine brandy,
And shoot it like a needle in your right vein
You can use ‘em, the voices
I can use ‘em, the voices
The voices, the voices

Xmas Song

I’m not where I want to be
I’d rather be wandering
Out, not within
He said
The day
He said,
The day...
...has started and left
And I can’t be left all alone
With a key to my diary
And the box with the mirror
I wish it was Christmas time!
I wish it was the middle of the day
And the mistake was not a mistake
He said
He said
The night he flew the plane
He said
The plane
I’m not where I want to be
I’d rather be wandering
Out, not within
He said
He said
Larger than life
He said
Larger than life
He said
Larger than life
He said
Larger than life
He said
The night he flew the plane
He said
I wish it was Christmas time
I wish it was Christmas time
I wish it was Christmas time
I wish it was Christmas time

If you make me a target,
If you make me your target,
And you hit me with your bow and arrow
If you make me your target,
And then call in your army,
Will they crown you the new hero?
If you make me your target,
And you soldier the battle,
Will you fight to the tooth and nail?
If you aim with a shotgun,
And shoot down my army,
Will they call you the new hero?
