- Babies
Singing lullabies to a doll in my arms
I was only five but I knew
I'd rock her to sleep, say goodnight to the stars
Someday our dreams will come true
Big old world in front of me
That asks me what I wanna be
Every time all I would say is
- Don't Wanna Love Again
There you are
Sleeping like a baby
When I drive myself insane
But I lean over
And whisper softly
I hope you hear it in your veins
But I don't wanna know
- Free Spirit
"I got a friend who's lost" she told me
But we both knew who she meant
Thinks she found her one and only
Oh, they never get out of bed
She likes a happy ending, that fairy tale is tempting
And what's wrong with that?
I know that you don't wanna hurt him
- Geographical Cure
You can take me out to a club downtown
Where the DJ's spinnin' the latest sound
Buy me somethin' ridic-o-lous
And order me a mocha cappu-frivolous
But I need something pure
Like a warm and sunny geographical cure
Well Times Square ain't what it used to be
- He Got Away
Love's like fishing in the ocean
Starve for days to catch a break
Waiting in that boat alone
The fish know something you don't
They told me there ain't many of us down here
All the good ones have been hooked
But I threw back the finest one
- Hot and Bothered
All day long I sit home
Channel surfing alone
Waiting for your unexpected
Visit through my window
You take me and undress me
Educate and test me
Breathless and bewildered
- Kiss Me Mister Histrionics
Kiss me Mr. Histrionics
I know you will, I know your way
Kiss me Mr. Histrionics
I know you will, I know your way
Don't cry, don't cry
A little trouble goes a long way
So kiss me Mr. Histrionics
I know you will, I know your way
- Leave It to You
Leave it to you to be so alive
Comforting kind of strange
Leave it to you to burst into my life
Leave it to me to stay
Falling in love's a typical day
The movie won't change its end
But I'll buy, I'll buy the ticket anyway
- Live Live Live
I used to work through my emotions playing my flute
And harmonize the moan of the vacuum
Everything I did I had to count by twos
Ending on an odd number I'd be screwed
It's hard as hell to be normal with a non-stop band in your mind
Hey circus freak, I set you free
- Love Is Gonna Getcha
She glitters when she walks
Quivers when she talks
And kills you when she's gone
And oh it's such a lovely mess
It's passion at its best
And you're thinkin' something's wrong
The ground underneath you
- Never Enough
I try to fill in the blanks of my heart
Happy to be numb getting off on the thrill
And I get a rush from the taste of this desolate place
Where no one's in love
Oh, I've tried everything
Will do almost anything, but it's never enough
- Purple Heart
My purple heart, all red and blue*
Still lingers on the thought of you
Thou it's just a little stain
I was hoping it would fade by now
Thou it's over done and said
It's heavier than lead somehow
It lights a spark, leaves a residue
- Ragdoll
I am a ragdoll, limping this bed
A little worn out from the fun that we had
But nothing's broken just feeling open
It's not like I'm thinking 'bout my wedding day
It's not the kind of thing you tell to the world
But still it's sweet to be your bad little girl
I'm kinda groovy on what you're doing
So squeeze me like the one you love
- Sans Souci
Sans souci, ah, sans souci
They got no room here for someone like me
Oh, the mountains start to giggle
When the springtime waters wiggle
Down the mountainside
I can hear the fishes swishing
- The Breakdown
There ain't enough boys in the world to go around
You gotta be wicked and tricky
to bring that big boy down
There ain't enough time to talk to everyone
You gotta be distant and bitchy
If you ever want to get it all done
Do I wish that things were different?
I'm wishing away
- Too Hot to Last
Take it off and take me in
I am not your friend
It isn't hard to see the way this ends
But I'm dying to begin
Blame it on our past
Blame it on our circumstance
Say it sweet but say it fast
- Trust Me
Please just let me stray,
Look the other way,
I gotta do this alone,
'Cause I'm the only one here,
Don't misunderstand,
You're the perfect man,
But I'm not ready to go,
And settle down with you,
- Use What I Got
Woke up this morning
Had a crazy dream
Got married in a black dress
What the hell's that mean
There was a faceless lady
Telling me who to be
What to wear
How to act
- What I Can Do
Well it's beautiful how we are
So comfortable, yet we've come so far
But it's funny what it brings
So much love and so much trouble, some things
Oh when I turn bad and hard to recognize
Although things are said
Oh they make you cry
- Whats Good For Me
"What's Good For Me"
I ain't no queen of hearts, I go through stages
I fall in love then complicate it
yeah, you know the feeling
without much hope just blind ambition
pretending that there's nothing missing
I always kept believing that...
