You told me honest and I heard you twice You tell me honest and I tell you lies, it’s true Not one to beleagur but I’m tellin’ you (And)That a thing’s not right because it’s true And(Yeah) a wrong’s not right because it’s you

Well if I'm a liar, then tell me it's true You're kind of a tigress, nervy and unpredictable If you can't sleep babe, I'll be your teddy bear I'll hold you so close, soothe your body to sleep As I sleep by your side Oh, baby, darlin' Don't you disappear Don't you take that bright red small bottle of bright yellow pills with that beer You gotta eat, babe, or you'll waste away Don't give me the fuck off, you cunt/ In the morning, I'll be waiting here If you need me Say my name, tell me something beautiful You will be forgiven If I'm not what you want, then tell me so You will be forgiven 'Cause you wreck my life and you feed on my soul so take (You will be forgiven) My life and soul/ Let 'em make you whole If you need my heart, I've ears to listen It cuts me deep when you do not sleep And I get cold shoulders/ I need your heat Just to beat, beat, beat along to dress it up and plod along So kill me slowly, kill me softly Don't you care, babe, don't you dare, oh And if you hear these words, that they came from me Well, don't you believe them/ They didn't mean anything All that I want, babe, is to take care of you You're the best little girl in the world, and you know I love you I hope wherever you are now that you're feeling better Maybe the hearts of babes will prevail where I could not follow through

I am lonely under covers wishing somebody was there It's a lonely place to be when you know that someone cares If you find your way to me I'll hold you close and tell you please As you curl up warm beside me and I hold your cold cold knees Tell me darlin did you see what you wanted to see On this journey that has stolen you so far away from me? Hold me close then until morning ‘cause you say that you love me And I'll hold you back and ask you to never leave me In the morning after bed over warm milk from a can eating cereal and hot eggs fresh from your pantry and pan Oh sex reminds us of a time when every truth was planned till you told me they were lies and I informed you they were scams But the lie is relative and rights are made On a weathered road that's almost never paved Well the truth about this summer is I never really cared ’Til I realized my love had not been there

I thought that maybe I could count on you You figured that you prob’ly shouldn’t count on me And you were prob’ly right But you let me down So you’re that guy now What a trick Forgiving things I can’t forgive about myself What charity Is it really all for me? It is? Well, can I buy you a drink? We’ll reminisce about a past that we don’t share Maybe a different kind of future starts here Well oh, no I thought that maybe I could count on you You figured that you prob’ly shouldn’t count on me And you were probably right But you let me down So you’re that guy now “If you can’t love yourself How you gonna expect someone else to?” Maybe you could lift each other up That only works If you’re both on the ground Otherwise you’re just beholden to someone standin’ And lookin’ down at you Well, maybe it’s just a problem of perspective Maybe it’s just you that knows you fell And this friendly, smiley, pretty motherfucker Just wants to dance Well, wouldn’t that be some kind of romance? Come on, stupid, take a chance Some things really truly la-a-a-a-a-ast Well oh, no I thought that maybe I could count on you You figured that you prob’ly shouldn’t count on me And you were prob’ly right But you let me down Yeah, I thought that maybe I could count on you You figured that you prob’ly shouldn’t count on me Yeah, you know you were right But you let me down So you’re that guy now

I get up in the morning and consider my rights I move to tell you we should move on at dusk light Cover the wagon and go get my gun I need a cane to lead the steer, tell you, this one Hopin’ my knee holds out, I imagine of all our children, that just one will Find our letters in days we’re gone and Tell all their children what we done And tell all the children what we done, yeah… Erase our blemishes ’til sin is gone and tell…

In your sunny eyes I was over you How you drug me in Into And in your sultry skin Like autumn held in glue Spokes are always turnin’ And cycles bring me to you Oh, Georgia…

Well I don’t know what’s bad advice But everybody’s saying the same things twice I get my money and I get my head But ain’t nobody yet invented the telephone bed I keep in touch/ My face is red Well all my friends know I’m insane but I’m embarrassed, Fred I got a redhead turns me inside out But she’s friends with the blonde I worry what they talk about Well, If you’re hearing rumors ‘baout me, well, they’re prob’ly true Gossip’s gotta land on someone And it sure as hell ain’t you, old boy Well I don’t know what’s bad advice But everybody’s saying the same things twice “Son, you gotta put your money in the real estate” I moved into the faux one and now it’s too late We all live in this fixer-upper of a money pit We smell like bad linguini and we look like shit But we been fashioning some jewelry from the rocks and things They’ve been selling like hot cakes and production costs nothing So I guess that we can have our cake and eat it too But if you break the bank I’ll guess I’ll have to marry you Put something in the fine print when we get divorced That says I can have the pony if you take the horse And if we’re lucky uncle Sam will never get his cheatin’ due On good advice, that’s why I motherfuckin’ married you If you’re hearin’ rumors ‘bout me, well, they’re prob’ly true Gossip’s gotta land on someone And it sure as hell ain’t you, old boy Well I don’t know what’s bad advice But everybody’s saying the same things twice

In a city by Lake Michigan Street buzzes beneath a starry sky that makes no sound They say you can't see the stars in the city They're all liars if you look Some clouds roll in unseen And we see snow start to come down It's Christmas eve and we're in bed Full of beer and ham Got a card from your mother with a hound dog with antlers and a little red Santa Claus hat We curl up and it's warm here We forget all the years cares Like we're seventeen again at a party breaking Michigan laws Lost in our own minds, lost in our own heads Drinking someone else's beer, loving in someone else's bed Two dumb kids too soon to care Breaking Michigan laws Two kid's that'll make it there breaking Michigan laws

“I tend to attract biters,” Sal says pointing to her labial scar Try not to picture broken skin, still now I can’t get hard So I massage her breasts like I have learned Sal likes and call her “Sal”, not “Sally” She’ll get me trained yet, and that’s the greater point here Juliette once tried to pull it off, I swear, but left no scars Though she was not afraid to use some teeth, so Romeo must have liked that She was not as into tickling, but she liked to suck on ear lobes Meeting halfway’s half the point, but teaching’s good, learning’s as vital too If you manage to program your sex machine to fulfill your wanton needs And then manage to train this hungry beast to so delicately Massage the fear and woe your heart clings to and scrub it from your soul Well, that’s a unique machine/ Maintain it ‘cause there’s sure no warranty

Well I don’t have that strong a jaw But I can’t get enough sex, no I can’t get enough I keep myself in line for Maude But I sell tickets to this show She really oughta know Well Momma said, “I told you son, I think you oughta pick just one And I did But there are other flowers too and they smell good, you know they do They look alright even to the blind Though it takes five and maybe two just to make up, make up for you Well, thats fine When you’re done with Jeac and Marie, I hope you’ll come, come and find me Under this pile of simply lesser pussy

Had a three way on a Monday Woke up lonely but with company It was time To wish well my Days of faux-polyamory Who does that? Who does that? Well, who does that? Please. But I’d bring you a harem, dear If I had your way with a sneer And a kind word And a joke You cracked my shell Now I’m your yolk I’m very glad I talked to you ‘Bout what you said was nerd shit (that was true) But it made you smile To be gushed at as time slowed As you crank my heartbeat to twelve and you heat my loins below You calm my jealous mind with care as you blow my gaskets so This just might be the greatest love the world has ever known You give to me so generously, how would I know? - This just might be the greatest thing I ever achieve so As my love spills over you, please let Me know That I’m not wrong to welcome one with oh-oh- -Pen arms Who loves someone with the fire of ten thou- -Sand suns And if the rain falls down and melts you, dear I’m done ‘Cause all I asked was the sweetest thing and, sugar I won - I never knew someone like you Would move my body and my soul But this has been the sweetest thing, my love You know

I’ll come, baby, when you call But move these shadows off the wall Some things go missing even in the light Some come back to you but only in the night Waiting by the window, Heaven won’t come Sleep, my darling Dream of warmer sun

I asked the universe why it would do this thing to me It said, “I’m mostly empty space and not a sentient being But if you must know certain truths, there is some scheming above And I shouldn’t say who would test you, but it’s not who you’re thinking of Why would a loving god do hateful things and take your joy away To prove a point about benevolence (to a rival, by the way) No, Yahweh did not wager you in a losing bet by-gum-ah That’s not who wants to know if you’re tough enough to withstand such melodrama You see, the only prophet who ever nailed it, hit her on the head Was the crazed monk Simeon O’Bummer, on an asylum floor, he etched her As a nineteen foot tall raven goddess with eighteen breasts and seven tongues This is the deity who wants to see if you’re ready for love So when you kneel to say your prayers at night, think of old Gar-bu-vis-neit And her fire breath of sulfur, and her soul-devouring need To fire off her Cupid’s arrow to deserving worshipees She’s got her black hole void cyclops eye on you so you’d best her desires heed ‘Cause there’s a lake of fire beneath this world you traipse so casually And it’s not the devil you know you gotta worry about, it’s Simeon’s Garbuvisneit So when some pretty little flower comes to broaden your heart’s horizons Just take care ‘cause you’ve been prepared by your life’s fate-filled tribulations To carry the load of one more with yours and not let each other down Or another way to play it Is to simply life free And behave as though anyone you know Might be so great and see”

Sailors on a sinking ship We might not get away with it Did you know I loved you most of all How did you Did you know I loved you most of all Why did you But did you know I loved you most of all How did you I didn’t know you loved me most of all How could you

You can't pick up, put together all the pieces on the floor Everything you hold so near is dust now, dear So look up and try not to cry This way gravity helps hold the tears in your eyes You forget the times that were easier Darling, that was a lifetime ago Melodies and fairy tales are swimming in your mind Silver clouds and a sun so proud that it shines down all its rays on you And here in this untimely fall you try so hard but you just can't recall A time in life when anything felt so good as winters come and go You can't pick up, put together all the pieces on the floor Everything you hold so near is dust now, dear So look up and try not to cry This way gravity helps hold the tears in your eyes You forget the times that were easier Darling, that was a lifetime ago The rain falls down… You can't pick up, put together all the pieces on the floor Everything you hold so near is dust now, dear So look up and try not to cry This way gravity helps hold the tears in your eyes You forget the times that were easier Darling, that was a lifetime ago

I just wanna hide but I can’t get off the street I found a quiet park, now you’re making a call out on your balcony I can’t write good no more so this song’s mostly score for a film I’m bound to miss I suppose I deserve this And at the tower at dark, in the sparks with the rain glistening Call me out on all my lies ‘bout good luck kisses in old Pair-Eee But you offered me your cheek, wiped my eyes with your scarf and on the train lay your head on me Well well well, isn’t this bliss I suppose that I deserve this Just one night before leaving Paris
