I
am isis look it’s morning head in
the shower spoon in my mouth just as I swallow my cereal my mother
comes
and knocks me down tacks a photo to my chest as she hands me my birth
certificate but it’s ok I say I was a bad child I cried and
I asked too many questions chorus: I press my face to the window
I play
solitude I hold tight to my chair in case someone pulls my hair and
no one can understand why I’m still crying no one can understand
why I’m still crying I live in Tucson which is like pee in
a swimming pool I am isis mouth full of candy I dance naked in the
backyard
I ride my bike to the corner store stop for a soda but I am always
a quarter short but it’s ok I say I made a wish today It’s
ok it won’t always be
this way I press my face to the window I play solitude I hold tight
to my chair in case someone pulls my hair and no one can understand
why I’m still crying no one can understand why I’m still
crying Parents are fighting dragging each other on the ground skid
marks, dog barks broken TV, too hot to sleep divorce, disease, we
move so
many times but a home is easy to replace like a child in a mother’s
eyes like my mothers child, isis It’s time to go away my blood
on her paper plate it’s ok you say as
she looks the other way I am a sore throat I am the door slammed
the plane lifts off and the plane lands I smell smoke coming from
the last
two rows I am the kiss goodnight now you sleep tight everything will
be alright I press my face to the window I play solitude I hold tight
to my chair in case someone pulls my hair and no one can understand
why I’m still crying no one can understand why I’m
still crying.

She’s got her head shaved like a monk
she’s
got her hands all up my trunk tickle tickle her toes are on my knee
and I’m feeding her a strawberry we’re in
a truck going on a ride and I’m looking at the flowers outside
such a good friend i am trying to be but my thoughts are getting
kinda naughty chorus: and my secret will be sworn and my secret will
be sworn and my secret will be sworn ok so part of me is torn part
of me is torn part of me is torn part of me is torn and tonight I’m
sleeping with the driver He’s in the front behind the wheel
he’s afraid in the back my heart
she’ll steal he asks me questions how does she go and i answer
how the hell would i know but i don’t
think her man excites her I don’t think her man excites her
and yes, the thought has crossed my mind but tonight i’m sleeping
with the driver chorus: And the road map is hard to read it’s
too small and I can’t see we gotta pull over we gotta pull
over I gotta pee! She’s got her head shaved like a monk she’s
got her hands all up my trunk tickle tickle her toes are on my knee
and I’m feeding her a strawberry we’re
in a truck going on a ride and I’m looking at the flowers outside
such a good friend i am trying to be but my thoughts are getting
kinda naughty chorus.

you entered the room like a beam of light with
a few small words you gave me color when I had black and white you
could be my answered
prayer a stranger with his arms wide open standing in the winter
air You’re the dark angel will you take me away if I promise
to stay will you take me away You’re the dark angel will you
save me from myself will you save me from myself You looked through
my windows with the calmest eyes and suddenly I’m exposed I’m
stripped down to my soul you tell me have no fear you say my time
is near and I believe You’re the dark angel will you take me
away if i promise to stay will you take me away you’re the
dark angel will you save me from myself will you save me from myself
you can’t save me from myself.

while you sleep terror stalks your street There’s no revenge
sweet enough to get you for the wrong you’ve done There’s
no revenge sweet enough to get you for the wrong you’ve done
No more little innocent no more miss naive I will cut your heart
out and will let you bleed I sent you a missle in the mail I little

sentiment and feeling 3 2 1 go on pull the string.... There’s

like these skirts and these dresses will take the place of you like
his sex or my best friends will take the place of you and this writing
implement will ease my pain there
there, there there right through my heart I’ve been wanting
to call you begging for more, begging for more ‘cause I haven’t
been hurt enough yet beat me blue beat me blue People say how are
you Well I’m still breathing, thank you I’m ok but it’s
not enough life was so much more with you you
pushed my face down in
the snow beauty hath no pain you know I like it, I like it It’s
not safe but it’s familiar I’ve been wanting to call
you begging for more, begging for more because
I haven’t been loved enough yet beat me blue beat me blue Something
feels strange tonight no one’s kicking me while I’m down
I guess to miss that feeling I must be a little masochist I must
be a little lunatic I hear the water dripping I must be a little
crazy I hear I hear I must be a little...

In your eyes I plainly see something that’s not good for me
but i don’t care you look so good I’ll lose myself in
your dark woods i want you in the worst way in the worst way I’m
scared of what I’ll do with you In your voice I plainly hear
things that make me shake with fear but I’m still here I don’t
want to move I’ll lose myself in your scary world I want you
in the worst way in the worst way I’m scared of what I’ll
do with you I can tell that you mean trouble my mind stays my body
follows I know now I won’t escape you you will touch me and
i will let you you suggest things i thought never now bad is good
and worse is better worse is better i want you in the worst way in
the worst way that’s just how i want you in the worst way in
the worst way I’m scared of what I’ll do with you with
you

I have no work I’ve been stranded for
weeks bills keep showing up Gotta pay for the water and heat Scraped
up enough Just to pay
the rent The check in the mail Is already spent The
window’s jammed And the ceiling leaks But I’ve gotta
little secret Maybe I should keep I have a drop of sunshine I have
the smile of a king I have the promise of a lover I feel seventeen
I have a drop of sunshine Sweet like grenadine You can find me dancing
High on adrenaline Haven’t slept for weeks I can hardly eat
It’s a harsh life in the city I don’t know what will
become of me But I’m sick of staying home And I’m tired
of TV tired of staring at the wall waiting for the phone to ring
sharp words that sting and the clipping of wings but I’ve got
someone to wake me from my bad dreams chrous I see a new star In
the sky tonight I look up every hour or so seems like it’s
the future of our world to push out, to push out until we find the
end But we have no leaders No woman or man We’ve got nothing
Nothing to believe in chrous.

You speak another language You think the rationale
is that we should sleep together it will be alright, it’s been enough time You’re
on another planet You think that you’re a rocket that you can
fly right back into my bed and do gymnastics in my head You push,
I pull I stand, you fall I’m not your safety net I’m
not an old friend you can call One look and I can tell You’re
turning over stones again Blue eyes so cold You have learned to be
that way You want it all but you don’t see me anymore You leave
me standing breathless No longer tangled I crawled out of your big
web Some scratches and a spider bite But I’m an itsy bitsy
wiser than you may remember But it’s not about me But then
again it’s not about you And your silent violent wounds and
feelings in a vacuum You reach out your hand And I turn around and
then You ask and I say I think you should stay away One look and
I can tell You’re turning over stones again Blue eyes so cold
You have learned to be that way You want it all But you don’t
see me anymore You leave me standing breathless You want to tell
me something Something you say that I should know She’s good
to you, happy for you Don’t tell me anymore I don’t want
to know You wonder when can you see me Can you come over, how is
life treating me What are you high I’ve got me blue skies One
look and I can tell You’re turning over stones again Blue eyes
so cold You have learned to be that way You want it all But you don’t
see me anymore You leave me standing breathless

Scared, scared, scared they’re scared of you Bad, bad, bad
they say you’re bad through and through But I don’t care
what they say I choose to believe your lies today They don’t
get that I’m ok I know the rules to the game you play I’m
so
high on you tonight nothing’s wrong cause we’re alright
it don’t matter what tommorow brings in themorning light I’m
so high on you tonight Blue, blue. blue you’re heart is blue
true, true, true I’ll never get through to you But I just take
it day by day I take what i can and then run away It won’t
be long before I lay right back down in the bed you made chorus.

Me & him Him & me we’re always together as you can
see If I could leave Maybe I’d be free And he may be getting
A bit tired of me And I may be A bit bored with he On movies and
parties We can’t agree love is the price we pay
I try to leave But I can’t get away Love is the price we pay
I’ve got nothing to show for it But I stay anyway I like to
dance He likes to drink I like the mountains He loves the sea He
wants his coffee I
prefer tea I want to sleep And he’s hungry I want to talk He
needs to breathe He’s meaner And more
sinister than me It could be worse We could be three Me & him
Him & me Love is the price we pay I try to leave But I can’t
get away Love is the price we pay I’ve got nothing to show
for it But I stay anyway

Elvis Presley lives across the street from
me He drives a beat up yellow canary Chevy ‘63 He told me Adam and Eve are alive and
well He said he saw them making love down by the wishing well Well
I’ve become a little skeptical I don’t know about you
But if the king says so It’s got to be true anything is possible
Baby It could happen to you it could happen to me it could happen
Baby Anything is possible Baby I saw JFK riding on the bus today
I wanted to talk to him but couldn’t think of what to say He
looked like a modern Jesus in a new age sort of way I thought of
Mother Teresa and I knelt down and prayed You could call it a miracle
of
modern times I couldn’t believe it myself He stood there before
my eyes singing chorus So I wrote this song I turned on the radio
And the whole world sang along It was like the sixties You know with
all the hippies Give peace a chance anything is
possible Baby It could happen to you it could happen to me it could
happen Baby Anything is possible Baby

What are you thinking he said These thoughts
are mine she said Lets go to bed he said Fine she said You’re mine she said Wrong
he said But let’s have a good time She touched him instead
And a smile was said ooohhh it was a good time Peel away the leaves
Pull them through your teeth Each one till it’s clean And eat
the heart Peel away the leaves Pull them through your teeth Each
one till it’s clean And eat the heart Where are you going he
said To the mountains she said With who he said Just a friend Well
I don’t like him he said Why not she said ‘cause he’s
in my life he said and a poem was read well it’s good she said
now let’s go to bed he held her instead and a tear was shed
chorus There’s a book that he read That he recommends She was
putting on her coat And collecting her head Her lips were red Her
heart was bled when ya coming back he said Monday she said But the
skin was shed Heavy like lead The skin was shed She was looking for
a good time Peel away the leaves Pull them through your teeth Each
one till it’s clean And eat the heart
