That Look 04:52
lyrics

That look It's a look I've seen before It's haunted me all my days That look It's a look I know too well I know its means and ways How can I help myself How can I defend How can I stop myself I cannot pretend I see you and you see through me My heart Been broke a thousand times Shattered to smithereens My heart It beats irregular I know its ways and means How can I stop myself How can I survive How turn away You make me come alive Your face It's a face I've seen before It brings me to my knees Your face It's a face I know too well I'm begging you please What do you want from me What will change your mind What do I want from you What do I hope to find

Laughing Girl 03:40
lyrics
buy track
Nothing ever seems to bum you out Can't remember if I've ever seen you cry You walk around on top of the world And there are times I've watched you fly Nothing ever seems to get you down You're as tough as the toughest tungsten steel No one ever pushes you around Or tell you how to feel Laughing girl Nothing ever seems to spoil your day Or modify your upbeat attitude If someone tries to wipe your smile away You don't let them wreck your good mood Laugh and the world it laughs with you Weep and you weep alone For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth But it has its troubles enough of its own Nothing ever gets you down and blue Or turn your happy day upside down I'd like to watch you stand on your head Just so I could see you frown Nothing ever seems to turn you off Or change your thoughts on the human race Whenever someone says something dumb You just laugh right back in their face

Old Blue Heart 05:59
lyrics
buy track
Sometimes the weight of the world Presses down so hard It threatens to break me in two And leave me scarred I'm not as resilient As I used to be I feel like my limbs Are like a broken old tree My old blue heart, it bleeds red My blood is like a river over a riverbed My old blue heart, it beats so true It beats for you, it beats for you True blue I still think about you mostly late at night While the rest of the world is sleeping I leave on a light I pray for your safe return Though I know you won't be back How many years has it been I can't keep track You needed to find your own special way Wherever that took you, well you could not say I tried to understand and I let you go Where are you now I just don't know, I just don't know I heard from some friends That you moved out west You cut off your hair And you're still on your quest Some say you are happy Some say you've found peace That may be good for you But for me the longing it just won't cease

In That Moment 03:45
lyrics
buy track
Had all that I could want In that moment The world opened wide And I stepped right on through And for the first time in my life I felt brand new In that moment I felt what I wanted to feel In that moment It all seemed incredibly real In that moment In that moment I knew all I needed to know In that moment It's like a light shined down And for the first time I could see And I held on for dear life So it would not get taken away from me Just wanna feel what I feel Just wanna feel what I feel Felt all that I could feel In that moment I had reached the summit And I planted my flag And just for once, just for once, just for once My life wasn't a drag

Toxic 04:00
lyrics
buy track
You smell so sweet Sweet as a summer flower I am hooked Hooked to your secret power Wanna throw myself in Get into the sin, sin, sin Wanna seep into youse Like some thickish ooze But you are toxic Toxic to me You are toxic Toxicity You are toxic You make me horny And I wanna blow my horn You make me nasty Like some nasty-ass porn Wanna get on down Down into the underground Wanna hit the heights See us up there in the lights You make me crazy Make me a lunatic Can I count on you To do my arithmetic Wanna let myself go Go somewhere I never know Wanna feel set free Free to what I want to be

My Ideal 04:32
lyrics
buy track
When I think of you What can I do, what can I do It seems so perfect and so true You're all that I want, all that I want, all I want You bring out the best in what I feel You are my ideal, my ideal Even though I know it's not real You are my ideal When I look at you What can I say, what I say You lift me up when I am blue You're all that I need, all I need, all I need You take my wounds and make them heal You are my ideal, my ideal Even though I know it's not real I look in your eyes and I fantasize The perfect girl I canonize When I dream you You slip away, you slip away Can't make you stick like glue These are desperate days, desperate days Maybe that's part of the appeal You are my ideal, my ideal Even though I know it's not real You are my ideal

Wanting More 03:58
lyrics
buy track
Just a little bit is all I ever get It’s like that’s what I deserve To want for more Is to want for too much More than a measly hors d’oeuvre I am wanting more Always wanting more It is my central obsess I am wanting more Always wanting more Whatever will get me to yes Sometimes I just want a slightly larger piece But I always get refused The more I try to stake my claim The more I wind up abused This old life tends to be unfair Yeah, that I much I know Best to be happy with what you got And sing yippee-i-ki-yo I just wish that I could eat you up And I would chew you all to bits ‘Cause once I get my teeth in you I would never call it quits

Blue Afternoon 03:58
lyrics
buy track
There's a black cloud out on the horizon It's got a mouth like a lion Big and strong and full of teeth Perfect if you feel like dyin' It's gonna rip me up It's gonna tear me apart Till all my parts are strewn This is what I call This is what I call This is what I call a blue afternoon There's a feeling that I get 'round four o'clock Wanna jump out of my skin It's like the sickness down in my guts Spills out like a screechy violin I wanna shout and scream I wanna stomp and rave Like I'm some big bad baboon This is what I call This is what I call This is what I call a blue afternoon There have been times I wanna end it Just can't stand it no more Each and every day downright painful With more pain in store Just wanna hide away Just wanna escape inside Inside my velvet cocoon This is what I call This is what I call This is what I call a blue afternoon

Just Won't Leave Me 05:12
lyrics
buy track
Been trying to be good Been trying to not give in But I just can't make it cease No matter what I do No matter how I try I just can't get no release I think I can think it through At least that's what I think I can do But that feeling just won't leave me It haunts me all my days That feeling just won't leave me It is now, it is always That feeling just won't leave me I got it deep inside That feeling just won't leave me Believe me I've tried Been trying to work it out Been trying to make it make sense But I just can't let it go Wish I could stab it Right in it's crazy heart But it's got me in its throe I think I can set myself free But then it gets the best of me Been trying to get it straight Been trying to work it out But there ain't no rhyme and no reason Wish I could kill it Wish I could force you out But my heart calls it treason Don't matter where I hide You're right there on the inside

After That, Because of That 03:45
lyrics
buy track
I brought with me my umbrella ‘Cause I didn’t want rain today This way I lay out the world Like so many strands of macrame I feel like a king With an army at my command All those followers who believe in me And where I take a stand After this, because of this Post hoc, ergo propter hoc After that, because of that Mad as a cuckoo clock Wore my brown scarf today When I do I have good luck Like that time I accidentally dropped it And I spotted me a brand new buck I feel like I am el presidente And everyone follows my lead They bow down and kiss my ring And I say together we will succeed Whenever I start to think about Sally Next thing I know she gives me a call I think we must be on the same wavelength Like when were Neanderthal I feel like I’m on top of the world I mean literally on the tippy top And nothing's ever gonna bring me down Or ever get me to stop

Define Love 05:44
lyrics
buy track
What is this, I say This is this, you say Then it’s goes and fades away Into the oblivion of lost dreams I have a void Inside my wretched guts And it spills over And it busts out at the seams If you ask me It is truth It is beauty It is truth and beauty That is love What I see is this What you see is that And I just want to build a bridge That spans our divide Maybe we can connect Maybe we can share our secrets Maybe then we won't have to hide What I want is this What you need is that But what happens to us When you pull off the veil You got one naked boy And one naked girl Ravaging each other Hear them wail

This Is How the Story Ends 04:11
lyrics
buy track
Right now we are on the brink Time for a long hard think A tide is rising, a change is coming People fighting for their rights People reaching for new heights Can you hear their voices humming This is how the world revolves And this is how the problem solves And this is how we make amends This is how we make our peace And this is how we find release And this is how the story ends Right now we are upside-down The spool is going ‘round and 'round And it all seems out of control There's too many believers There's too many deceivers And they got their mitts on the flagpole Right now we’re at critical mass They’re kicking our ass And we gotta kick ‘em right back The temperature’s rising Not all that surprising Gotta know the facts, jack
