Cinderella
03:31
|
|||
As soon as she get back to town she’s gonna pack it all up
She’s gonna wash her hands of those treaded ladies
She’s gonna crash her magic carriage
She’s gonna fake her death for the insurance and elope with the goblin king
She gonna sell her shiny shoes to the pawn shop and get herself a car
The king will say hey diamond girl can you go to corner and buy me a cigar?
She says sure but I’ve heard that one before,
what kinda girl you take me for?
Say you’ll keep me around the house when we get old and crazy
And I’m telling stories of days we used to kiss at royal parties
Make me feel like that again and I’ll give ya this gold wrist watch
So you can remember that time you saved my spirit
She said you lost your mind before I met you
You’re gonna drink that cup of poison that you switched with mine yea I saw you do it
Yea I saw you do it when I looked away
She flips a switch under the table to a secret trap door
The king rolls atop his grave and drops a switchblade to the kitchen floor
She says sure I’ll keep you in my mind if you keep me in yours
What were you waiting for
I loved you then and I love you still
You’re a dream I didn’t know that I could have, I didn’t know it was real
My sisters told me that I was a pill
But I wanted to feel a thrill
I left all my clothes and my chores
I got a job at a grocery store
And until that mouse became a horse
And midnight screwed me in the divorce
I didn’t know that I could feel such a force

Selfish Song For Me
04:43
|
|||
Its gonna take a while for me
I'm gonna have a while for me
Just gonna take a second
and baby Ill have a second for me
Gonna mess around and sleep with me
I only wanna sleep with me
You don't come in second
No that spots reserved for me
But all of the time that I haven't had you in my life
Ain't worth a dime and I think about it everyday, every night
That I haven't had you by my side
Oh what a crime and I think about that everyday
Im gonna take a while for me
Im gonna have a while for me
Just gonna take a second
and baby Ill have a second for me
Gonna set the table for me
Gonna cut those carrots those me
If I had a second, man id give that second to me
But all of the time that I haven't had you in my life
Ain't worth a dime and I think about it everyday, every night
That I haven't had you by my side
Oh what a crime and I think about that everyday
Everyday of my life
Every time I leave a room
I hope you'll be inside
Baby if you give me that one chance
I know Ill keep you warm and dry
But all of the time that I haven't had you in my life
Ain't worth a dime and I think about it everyday, every night
That I haven't had you by my side
Oh what a crime and I think about it everyday
Everyday I've been alive

The Electric Slide
04:44
|
|||
When the girls are on the floor at night
And the guys are out there too
There’s only kind of dance you’ll find
Oh no no, It’s he electric slide
When the music and the moments right
Well can all line up together
There’s no way you can ever try
Put your feet in yea the waters fine
It’s the electric slide
Come on follow me now give it baby one more try
You can lighten up the night (lighten up the night)
Dance into the sky (dance into the sky)
And you’re never gonna even hide
How would you feel inside for the electric slide?
Oh it’s a magic slide
If you be my electric girl
Then I’ll be your electric guy
Baby your electric eyes
Dance into the sky
Come on just get on the floor and
give it baby an electric try
No no no
Dancing in the night (dancing in the night)
Ladies in the sky
It’s time for the electric dance (alright everyone get down not the floor)
You’re gonna take your left foot (now just the ladies)
And you’re gonna slide it out (looks like we got a birthday!)
Now you’re gonna take your right foot
And you’re gonna slide it out
You guys did so good on the dance!
You guys nailed the dance!
All the moves, all the steps
Lets get back to the song and
I want you to use that on the song
When the girls can all leave the floor at night
And the guys are leaving too
There’s only one kind of dance they dance
It’s the electric slide
THE ELECTRIC SLIDE! OOOOO!
CMON CMON CMON!

Turn It All Around
04:03
|
|||
Taking one step forward
and two steps back
Each time I feel like walking away
I hear your words
Saying come back home
We'll turn it all around
When I’m trying to make sense
Trying to make sense of all the threads all up the air
I think of how
That you let me know
we'll turn it all around
I depend on your sweet love shining
I’m beggin for your light to be near
When my mind is feeling heavy enough
You lift up my head
Yea girl you carry your love
Taking one step forward
When you can’t look back
for what you left behind ain’t there
You show me why
That you call me home
To turn it all around
Whats so wrong
About having a dream, baby
To turn it all around
I depend on your sweet love shining
I’m beggin for your light to be near
When my mind is feeling heavy enough
You lift up my head
Yea girl you carry your love
Yea you lift up my head and carry me girl
Taking one step forward
Taking two steps back
each time I feel like walking away
I hear your words
Saying come back home
I hear those words
Saying come back home, baby
I hear those words
Saying come back home
We'll turn it all around

Warm Little Song
03:48
|
|||
I hear a voice soft as whispers
The words still ringing between my ears
A simple phrase the memory that a lullaby makes
That I’ll never be
never be alone again
They say I’m crazy for taking counsel
From any teeth that sting a gentle tone
But I’ve found more than comfort from a moment so true
That I’ll never be
never be alone again
A day without that warm little song
Would be as cold as a window
As if the song were not a rose
My star will bloom for you today because you love me
And you’ll never be
never be alone again
I hear that voice whistle warnings
It sings my name out up on the stove
And I watch it melt and shiver just so that I’d know
That I’ll never be alone again
A day without that warm little song
Would be as cold as a window
As if the song were not a rose
My star will bloom for you today becuz you love me
And you’ll never be
never be alone again
I hear a voice soft as whispers
The words still ringing between my ears
You’re name can change but your voice remains the same
And ill never be alone again

Living In Hysteria
05:03
|

Living in hysteria
Treating your eyes like a violent dream
A shot in the dark
Water on a flaming tree
You know what I mean
Living in hysteria
cruel minds behind the sound machine
They got 3 poison darts
1 for you and 2 for me
You know what I mean
Reeling in America
Theres no disguise for an angry face
Theres no such disguise that makes a piece of metal fly
You know what I mean
Oh you can't hide
You can't hide from the birthday boy

I could sing a song about the time it takes
To hold on and hope you'll be the one
But maybe there’s a finer brush and a brighter paint
To illustrate the things that are to come
I can hear the angels singin amazing grace
I know now that things have just begun
When do you want me to believe you're all that I need
if my jackets on
I could write a song about the things you say
But what a way to wish I'd never sung
Frankie said the word of God is a soft escape
But he's quiet now so what's left to be done
Is there any reason to believe you're all that I need
When I've said it all
And time and love just won't release
And it just takes a minute to see
That you really cut your teeth on misery
Baby roll your wheels over me
If your game is love then you got me beat
I can hear the shot of what would begin the race
But never saw the smoke rise from The gun
Maybe there's more to prove than to match a pace
But to Slow it down and crawl before we run
When did you want me to believe you're all that I need
When I've said it all
And it just takes a minute to see
That you really cut your teeth on misery
Baby roll your wheels over me
If your game is love then you got me beat
I could sing a song about the time it takes
To hold on and hope you'll be the one
But maybe there’s a finer brush and a brighter paint
To illustrate the things that are to come
When did you want me to believe theres a heart on my sleeve
when my jackets on
and time and love won't get me
And it just takes a minute to see
That you really cut your teeth on misery
Baby roll your wheels over me
If your game is love then you got me beat
If your game is love then you got me beat
If your game is love then you got me beat
If your game is love then you got me beat

I took a left
I took a right
I walked that circle that we talked last night
Went in a ring just to start a fight
But you never saw me standing there
I took a fall
I made a leap
They stole my car but they left my keys
now I’m crying in the middle of the street
cause you never saw me standing there
I may not know Love but I know lately
That I’m no good (I'm no good)
It’s not hard to notice
We don’t treat each other like we should
I followed all ff the leads
I tracked down numbers and
I scouted scenes
I put an ad in your magazine
But will you ever see me standing there
I put an ear to the floor
But your footsteps fade with every closing door
What kinda heart could ever take much more
We don’t hear each other anymore
I may not know Love but I know lately
That I’m no good (I'm no good)
And I can’t describe a feeling that i never understood (understood)
We had it real and honestly
We found a love so easily
Our life was the part of me in a dream
Our life was the part of me in a dream
I took a step outside
Thought you’d stay and get another flight
But you were gone before the morning light
And I never saw you standing there
We can’t describe a feeling that we never understood (understood)
We had it real and honestly
We found a love so easily
Our life was the part of me in a dream
Our life was the part of me in a dream
We had it real and honestly
We made a love so easily
Our life was the part of me in a dream
Our life was the part of me in a dream
Our life was the part of me in a dream that never ends
Our life was the part of me in a dream

Hindsight

Saying goodbye is hard enough
But why'd you have to leave so soon
Couldn't look you in the eye
Or find the words
To lead me back, lead me back to you
And learning something beautiful has to die
Don't make it right
To open doors up just to stay inside
Saying goodbye in New York City is a lonely ride
Saying goodbye in a troubled love
Humming like a distant train
A torch song can't describe the way it hurts
Before long you'll sing it just the same
Leaving something beautiful behind
Wont make it right to circle more of the same old line
Saying goodbye in New York City is a lonely ride
Saying goodbye is hard enough
Without putting a face to what
What you knew you'd lose in love
I thought we could disguise and make it work
But I was wrong, I never had enough
And learning something beautiful has to die
Don't make it right
To paint our portrait in just black and white
So much time is wasted in the hindsight

Acupuncture Hi Five

It might as well be up to you
To write that little song review
Listen and you just might take to some of it
Be the judge and tell me if it’s relevant
Relevant to you
If you have the time to sit through a side
And your record players coming alive
Turn it up to seven for the hell of it
Try and figure out just what’s relevant
About it all
Oh I'm down to the bottom of your wishing list
Oh I'm down to the bottom
I'll be fine, just fine
If I had something to show for it
Might as well be up to you
To leave an apple at my statue
Leave a tribute right where Helen fell for it
Paint that brat Paris so impressionist
That you can’t tell who
Like Ulysses on the ocean white
I’ll ride home to my naked wife
Tell her of the gods that we should revel in
And she’ll say which comedians are still relevant
Enough for you
Oh I’m down to the bottom of the raffle ball
Oh I’m down to bottom
I’ll be fine, just fine
If I could give a little more than this
A second wind
A high five
If I had something to show for it
Another bridge
About time
That I gave a little more than this
Might as well be up to you
To slay that devils point of view
Cut it up to pieces, mail it heaven sent
Take that mad red marker, mark it delicate
Adressed to you baby
