There came a knockin'
On my old front door
You said, Let me in
And I could not ignore
So I let you in like I always do
You told your me stories
And once again I fell for you
And it all happened accidentally
But it all happened between you and me
We sat on the floor by the radio light
You said I should not expect
You would stay the night
You grabbed my hand and then we kissed
You whispered in my ear
This is what I've missed
We said hello then we said goodbye
Was it real or a lie
Was what we said what we meant
Or was it all an accident
Your intentions were good
Yes, you made them clear
Then again your intentions
Should be a thing to fear
When you disappeared you left a bruise
Now I'm covered with scars
All black and blues

Never in a Million Years
04:51
|
|||
|
Thought it was all over
Thought that I would never feel this way again
Then you appeared out of the dust
Maybe it’s the way you look
Maybe it’s the way you talk
You restored my faith and my trust
Never in a million years woah-woah
Never in a million years oh no
Never thought I’d feel this way once more
Once again like never before
Thought that I had heard it all
Thought that I would never feel fulfilled
Then you showed me what I was missing
We talked about the here and now
We talked about tomorrow
Didn’t waste our time with reminiscing
Thought that I was finished
Thought that I’d never come back from the brink
But then you opened up your heart
Who could’ve predicted this
Who could’ve imagined it
So late in the game I get a fresh start

Wonderin'
04:17
|

|
Like the way you think
Like the way you talk
Like the way we communicate
I like your face
I like your smile
We get along pretty great
I'm a wondern', wonderin',
Wonderin', wonderin'
Why can't it be true
Like the way you laugh
Like the way you cry
Like the way we tend to agree
I like your head
I like your hair
The way it flows oh so free
I know that it's improbable
But it's not impossible
Like the way you feel
Like the way you smell
Like the way that it can't be
I like your hands
I like your shoes
I like the fantasy
I know you care
Just not too much
Not enough to make it real
I'm a fool, a fool in love
I just can't help how I feel

Tell Me What to Do
05:03
|
|||
|
I am easily confused
By all the stuff that's going on
And you're the only one
Who doesn't make me want to yawn
I can hear what you say
And what you say is OK
Tell me, tell me true
Tell me what to do
I need to tell you
That the solitary life is not for me
I want to know that
I'm connected to my family tree
I scratch your back and you scratch mine
Everything will turn out fine
Give me direction
Give me protection
I am lost if not for you
Give me a sign
Keep me in line
Tell me what, tell me what to do

Here It Comes
04:30
|
|||
|
Come on over here, get up off your knees
Look me in the eye
And say please, please, please
Clock is a-ticking, tick-tock-tick
If you get stuck you're fucked
Fucked in the dick
Gimme what you got and a whole lot more
Nothing gonna satisfy
I got needs I can’t ignore
Here it comes
Here it comes
Here it comes
And there it goes
Here it comes
Here it comes
Hola and adios
Come on over here, sit down in this chair
Grab me by the scruff
And be my worst nightmare
I been thinking ‘bout ya
Thinking ‘bout your laugh
Got a big ol’ hunger and you are my staff
Gonna eat you up, yum, yum, yum
Ask me what my game is
And I'll say it’s zero sum
Come on over here and be at my command
I will tell you what is what
In a language you can understand
Don’t try to deny me, don’t you run away
I will only track you down from here to pancake day
Won’t ever let you go
We are bound for life
You will be my prisoner and I will be your wife

These Four Walls
04:11
|
|||
|
I have forgotten what day it is
Could it be Sunday
Hell I don’t know
I’m imprisoned here
Like Guantanamo
These four walls are closing in
Can’t escape ‘em by my chin-chin-chin
No place to go and nothing to do
So I dream of you
You come to me in my dream
You tell me not to worry
No more
You’re a sight for sore eyes
For this eyesore
Hold me close
Hold me tight
Help me make it through
This nightmare night
Hope that nothing ever wakes me up
‘Cause if I do
You’ll disappear
And that’s not the worst of it I fear

Strange Girl in Love
05:38
|
|||
|
She had her way of doing things
But what, what can you say
She was good at vexing you
But you just want to hold her anyway
She was a strange girl
A strange girl in love
Oh yes, she was a strange girl
A strange girl in love
She was pretty sloppy
Her apartment a total mess
When she would ever clean it up
That would have been anyone's guess
You could always count on her
To go against the grain
You could always count on her
To cause you some unneeded pain
She said what was on her mind
Even though most of it was not ever true
Too bad if she broke your heart
You weren't the only one she'd done that to

Butterflies
05:10
|
|||
|
We’ve got to leave it all behind
It’s true
Let it live where it belongs
With you
But then you look inside me
You somehow hypnotize me
We must all turn to butterflies sometime
We must all turn to butterflies
We’ve have got to build a new frontier
It’s true
And dream beyond what we know
We two
All the beauty in your lies
Such a beautiful disguise
Spread our wings and fly away
Take a giant leap over judgment day
We have got to change our lives
It’s true
Make a choice and stick by it
With you
Yeah, you make me wanna believe
It’s easy for you to deceive

Thank You
04:32
|
|||
|
You pointed me the way
When I could not see
You turned on a light inside
When things had gotten pretty murky
I had given up, tossed in the towel
But then you swooped on in
Like a wise old owl
And I just gotta say
I just gotta say
I just gotta say thank you
You’re cool, you’re swell, you’re neat
You’re reet petite
Yeah all of that is true
Thank you
You listened in real close
Like no one before
Took scads of notes
Explained the why and wherefore
I could tell you any old thing
And not feel judged
I could tell you the god’s honest truth
And have it not be fudged
Too bad you ain't my friend
Yeah it ain't meant to be
You could tell me your stories
That is my fantasy
No one ever gets me, no, not like you
It is what it is
Still I just gotta thank you

Amour Fou
03:04
|
|||
|
You make me do strange things
Never thought I would do
Make me dream of you at night
Make me fall for you
Mad love, mad love
I am mad for you
Mad love, crazy love
Amour fou
You turn me upside down
Make me spill my drink
I think of your mad embrace
Your cute little wink
I'm a fool for you
Yeah, I'm a fool for you
You make me queasy inside
Like I'm gonna be sick
You wave your magic wand
And it does the trick

Make It So
04:22
|
|||
|
Wish there were something I could do
Something to get through to you
Spend my days spinning my wheel
Running kinda rough with how I feel
Looking for a friend to show me a sign
Hoping that my stars will align
Nothing I can do
Nothing I can say
Nothing, no nothing can make it so
It’s not impossible
But it’s improbable
Yeah not quite apropos
Thought a lot about you and me
The thought that we could never be
Makes me wanna rip out my heart
Can’t stand how it feels to apart
If only this were another place
Maybe I would be in the race
Just looking for someone to save my soul
Love me hard and make me whole
I am here and you are there
Nothing’s going on anywhere
What good does it do to say how I feel
That’s not really part of our deal
Wish I could get around it
But I can only seem to compound it

Still I Dream of It
07:28
|
|||
|
You are so far, far away
Living in your Xanadu
Way out there beyond sky
What I wouldn’t give to be with you
What good does it do me to pretend
We can’t love each other in the end
Still I dream of it
Still I dream of it
You are just up around the bend
I have to believe it’s true
I barrel on into the night
Hoping you drop out of the blue
What good does it do me to desire
Bloodied as I am on love’s barbed wire
Still I dream of it
Still I dream of it
