She dreamt she was Rachmaninoff's daughter
She dreamt she had never been cold
She dreamt she became Debussy's lover
And she would never grow old
What a woman, how bold
Now she's got 12 days in Helsinki
12 days on a farm
12 days in the South of France
Where the people don't dance
Sound the alarm
Sound the alarm
I swear I'll do you no harm
If you shut off that alarm

Inbetween Machine

Lately been feeling so inbetween
Inbetween child and lady
Daily I aim to stay easy
But I'm no machine
I'm just inbetween
Unjust unseen
I'm incomplete I can't compete
Must be what they mean
When they say crazy
What's crazy anyways?
You asked me twice in a day
Wanted to know if it's a tone you can erase
What's a lady anyways?
Asked me twice in a night
Wanted to find if you could qualify
I said your you there's nothing you can do
What's more I'm me there's nothing you can see
We're clean old fashioned
I still love the color pink
Still cry after I drink
Still open my mouth before I think
Speak speak babe speak speak your mind
Lately been feeling so inbetween
Inbetween charming and tempting
Daily I aim to stay easy
But I'm no machine

Sweet Misery
03:01
|
|||
Find me in the ice cream shop
I'll take mint chip, I'll take a lot
Ice on your lips, the great escape
Don't go and save what doesn't need saving
You'd be more brave eating ice cream everyday
I'd be more brave, to not
Find me at the bar on 10th
With a drink designed for meeting men
The kind who'll drink you up
And drink again, and drink again, and drink again
What's the thing about sweet misery?
What's the thing about having something to believe in?
I believe in you
I believe in dreams
I believe that when this all is through I'll have nothing left to believe in
What's the thing about sweet misery?
What's the thing about having something to believe in?
I believe in you
I believe in dreams
I believe that when this all is through my head will go through a machine and come out clean (oh please)
What's left in that Raisin Bran?
It came raisin-less, a modern scam
You won't eat it you're a righteous man
You have a master plan to beat the big man
I have a master plan, to not
Who's left at Johnny's bar?
They painted over Friday's scar
The girl in pink brought her guitar
That girl is me, looking for a scene
Sometimes it's hard admitting who you are
What's the thing about this sweet misery?
What's the thing about this thing plaguing me?
I hope you come to find a clean and better mind
And wrap it neatly up for me
You know that I could use it
You know that I could use it
You know that I could use a hard fast guarantee
This is the way to be
That it'll be alright
A bird in flight, seeking light
Weak, but wild and free and somehow happy

I need a ring a ring needs me
I need a ring to see things clearly

Rappin'
03:15
|
|||
I've been rappin' a lot
Saying things all at once
Tryna form an opinion
You've been looking up words
So you know when you're heard
You say it right, and you mean it (you mean it)
But the days they go by
and although we do try
in the end we stay silent
Don't forget how it's said
cause this won't happen again
Just fall in, and don't hide it
Take a step, lean in, and swim
We're going in, we're going in
Jump deep, jump long
Sing this song, sing this song
Know that there is just know other way
To say what you are trying to say
And I love you all the same
My heart is aching now that I met you
I wrote the words but they just don't sound right
My heart is aching now that I know you
I can sing you but it doesn't make you mine
My heart is with you, now that I'm with you, and I'm with you
all the dang time
My heart, is a heart is a heart is a heart is a hard time
Take a step, lean in, and swim
We're going in, we're going in
Jump deep, jump long
Sing this song, sing this song
Know that there is just know other way
To say what you are trying to say
And I love you all the same
You look better than I thought you would
Your hair is long, and you're payin your rent
Spent the summer swimming around
looking for a new heart to bend with
So bend me bend, bend me bend, bend me bend
Won't you

Soup
04:43
|

I was lookin for a place to buy canned soup
when I thought I better make a baby to talk to
You said let's head down to Lute's Casino
Poor Bob, he's only got a few more days
His brain is beginning to decay
And his arms, oh his arms, they're all jello these days
But there in the window, a magazine
touched once or twice before me
There in the window a message all mine
It says, "This is how to stay alive."
This is how to stay alive.
Drink all your soup
Keep all your cans
Find a man or
Be a man
Drink all your soup
Keep all your cans
If you can
do what you can
See Julia in a sweater alone at the bar with a cough
See Jerry at the market, he's been taking time off
See Sandra, oh sweet Sandra, with a letter she signed by the mailbox
A letter she's been meaning to send
An end to an end
And end, oh let lay
Her heart, it's all jello these days
But there in the window, Melissa's daughter
She's wiser now, she's more than she bargained
There in the window, eyes right on me she sings
"This, this is all you need."
This, this is all you need.
Drink all your soup
Keep all your cans
Find a man and
Be a man
Drink all your soup
Keep all your cans
If you can
do what you can
If you can
do what you can

Call On
02:48
|
|||
call on your enemies
call on old friends
call on the stranger who's been selling tamales on the corner since 2010
call on your favorite state
call on a new place
call on your landlord who's never shown her face
and now wants you to leave
call on your mother
call on her twice
call on her a third time
there's no limit there, there's no limit there
call on your father
ask him his name
tell him you'd love him
but you forgot his name
call on the local nursery
say you're lookin for a new tree
something bright and shiny
that'll clean the air
and maybe your mind
call on your best friend
tell them your fine
wait till they notice
that you're not fine at all
call on your partner
tell them what's in your head
tell them you love them
tell them you love them
tell them you love them
cause the world is ending
you saw it in a dream
don't know how to shake it
don't know what it means
