Know I Said

Wandering the aisles at Sears
Wondering how I ended here
Bad toupee, yellow nails
Promising anything to make the sale
I’ll take the dryer and you
I know I said something different not so long ago
But you’ve given me desire baby
You’ve made me
I know I said something different not so long ago
But you’ve given me desire baby
You’ve made me bold you’ve given me clean clothes
I came to see the softer side
I wanted to decide on my
Way of tumbling dry
Now there’s no low
I took the dryer and you
Chorus

Housewife

Where have all the humans gone
You’ve got to get up every morning put your apron on
You’ve decided,
You’re excited
And you don’t even know why
Everybody’s doing it just wake me when your through
Feels good to feel finally I reel
The events of a life catching me
Like a game of tag
Like the morning after a jag
In between the time a flux that is perspective, finally
Put 2 feet on the floor
Leave the bed warm
Keep breathing as you run for the door
Flip the cakes in the pan
Set the table and
Which way will the fire fly first?
Adversary, this is not new
She was too, though the path to her
The becoming if you will
Until the crack in the wall
Waiting for someone to make the wall only a memory

Say She Sucks
03:36
|
|||
|
You thought she was a prophet
Delivered by the hand of God
But she rode in with the Fed Ex man
Giving him a hand job
I won’t say she sucks
Though I could
I won’t say she belittled you
Though she would
I won’t stand by and watch her
I won’t let it be
From now on she’ll have to come through me
You wanted her to be your savior
And ride in on a big white horse
Deliver you from normalcy
And free you from remorse
Super calli fragi list
She was atrocious
Ding dong the witch is dead
Or so your friends said
Though you’re sad to see her go
She was a psycho
Cho.
Never would she venture forth cross the river wide
(She had her life, she was a wife
She had four kids, and she had hips
She was not nice, she had her pride
There was the river, and it was wide)

One & Only
04:12
|

You might be a grocer
You might be a cop
You might be a brain surgeon
Or a chip off the old block
You might be from Poland
Or a plain in Kalamazoo
You might play my heart strings
Or even a digeradoo
You could be my love you could be
You could be my love you could be
You could be my one and only
You could love me true
If you go a little lower babe
Baby you’ll do
You might be a shrink
Or work at Jenny Craig
You might be a master of the universe
Or you might break legs
You might have a crooked nose
Or aqualine features so fair
As you as you can make me hot
And baby take me there
You could be my love you could be
You could be my love you could be
You could be my one and only
You could love me true
If you buy me pretty things babe
Baby you’ll do

Hoops
03:29
|
|||
|
You ask a lot
You ask for me like you don’t know what you do
In the asking
You are my enemy
Are you crazy wanting me?
If you listen closely and you make the hoops
Will that make me want you anymore
But the bottom half suddenly revolts
And the cross or the arrow,
It makes no difference
It’s only a thin gray line
There is no black and white
Only the swing of the beat
Two hearts and two bodies
Your skin hot and wet against me
I’ll pay for that one

Bliss
03:50
|
|||
|
There is a mountain, I want to conquer
Want to stick my flag in, I want to own her
But I don’t want to stay there
In that far away land
I just want to visit
And make my stand
And find some bliss in that kiss
And find some bliss
There is a river, I want to cross
Want to get all wet and get all lost
But I don’t want to stay there
In that cold and wet water
I just want the journey
Some lightness in the fodder
And find some bliss in that kiss
And find some bliss
Follow me wherever I go
Hold on to my neck
Try to pull me down
I’ll bend but I won’t break
I lick my lips, the tip of my tongue
I am open & deep, I am coming undone
From deep inside, from inside out
From texas to montana
From the oceans to the mount
And I want some bliss in that kiss
Some bliss

Over Here
04:22
|
|||
|
I am naked in his bed
We are oceans apart, though he is giving me head
Seems the only place, we have anything to say
Seems the formula is true
The further and harder I come
The more he comes undone
I am over here, I can hardly hear
From the screaming in my ears
Fascinated I flail, I rail against
The emptiness of you
I am still naked in his bed
He tells me of his fantasy
Me giving a girl
It seems the only place, he has anything to say
I check the things off on my list
The foreign accent and pedigree
The economics background and a joie de vivre
Chorus
I am now naked only in his head
Despite his self-described crush on me
He wasn’t that great in bed

Essence is Good
03:25
|
|||
|
Tonight,
The sound of your voice
The things you say
Unexpected, anyway
Sometimes things don’t always turn out the way they should
You sound good, you say
What did you expect, that I’d melt away?
I love when somebody’s essence is good
I love when somebody’s essence is good
Last night,
The taste of your skin
The things you did
The chiseling begins
Ghostlike, the essence of you is shifty
And you are thrifty with it all
The ice sculpture thaws

Water
04:27
|
|||
|
I taste the salt
Running round the rim of my margarita
Rolling down on my face
Finding my lips and tongue
Like rainwater finds a river
I could cry one but you saved me from
You are my home
I will breathe you in
I will fly into you and back again
Jewels, she wants to cover me
The coal transforms itself like a butterfly
Into the diamonds that drip
From my ears from her lips
And I shudder like a ripple
|

Not Enough
03:56
|
|||
|
The emptiness is the hardest to take
In the quiet moments
Amid joy
But it’s the wondering,
Where’s the sentry for the sadness
Can’t help but feel it’s waiting
Can’t help but feel it’s waiting
The happy Barbie I was becoming
Still so pulled to darkness
Give me my reality straight up
In a glass, in stereo
Surround me, keep me warm
Spread out, now make me numb
Not for all the money in the world
In the boreal, not for all the trees
In the seven seas
There’s a river wide
There’s a hole inside
Without you, love
It’s so not enough
|

Yell
05:19
|
|||
|
lonely people everywhere
why do you live here, anyway
you start with the benefit of the doubt
but it goes downhill
I yell at the top of my lungs
at the top of the world
I yell at the top of the world
Just for my whimper to be heard
think within the boundaries
old at 25, dead at thirty
401K - stocks up or down today
everyone going the same way
don’t look at me
don’t stop me
don’t talk to me
don’t ask of me
I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive
