My Head 03:51
4.
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

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

Oh, the Ring 00:46
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
