Where do I put this fire
This bright red feeling This tigerlily down my mouth He wants to grow to twenty feet tall *I've left bethlehem I feel free I've left the girl I was supposed to be and Someday I'll be born I'm so tired of being shy I'm not that girl anymore I'm not that straight A anymore Now I want to sit with my legs wide open and Laugh so loud that the whole damn restaurant Will turn and look at me & say Look at the tiger jumping out of her mouth Chorus No more sex-starved teachers Trying to touch my ass I can finally be a teenager at age twenty-six Go to hell lions, tigers, and bears I'm not afraid of you anymore And my fear ripped apart like fifty balloons And I'm thrown around the room like party confetti now *Repeat Someday I'll be born Someday someday someday I'll be born Someday someday someday I'll be born |

Oh you get me ready in your 56 Chevy
Why don't we go sit down in the shade? Take shelter on my front porch The dandelion sun scorched, Would you like a glass of cold lemonade? I will do the laundry if you pay all the bills. *Where is my John Wayne? Where is my prairie son? Where is my happy ending? Where have all the Cowboys gone? Why don't you stay the evening Kick back and watch the TV And I'll fix a little somethin' to eat? Oh I know your back hurts from working on the tractor How do you take your coffee my sweet? I will raise the children if you pay all the bills (Chorus) I am wearing my new dress tonight But you don't even notice me. Say our goodbyes Say our goodbyes Say our goodbyes We finally sold the Chevy When we had another baby And you took that job in Tennessee You made friends at the farm And you joined them at the bar Almost every single day of the week I will wash the dishes while you go have a beer. * Repeat Where is my Marlboro Man? Where is his shiny gun? Where is my lonely ranger? Where have all the cowboys gone? **Yippee Aw, Yippee Yea ** Repeat ** Repeat |

I'm big and proud all over
Not just on the stage My secret self has many sides That laugh and crush and sting I'm red and thick like fire I like it from behind Round and Round and Red to white I'm pure and sad and silent *I know I've got a piece of my heart On the sole of your shoe I've got a little bit of thunder Trapped inside of a cloud The dog in you Spit me out into the mississippi Who can love my many selves The wife, the bitch, the rapunzel The one who cries And calls for you The one who is always alone *Repeat Oh mississippi Come and wash my pain away Oh mississippi Come and take my pain away I feel I'm drowning I feel I'm drowning I feel I'm I feel I'm Dying *Repeat |

How many times did
I have to hear you say to me Self obsessed artist Center of your universe Well I believed your every word And I believed you were my god *Nietzsche's eyes Nietzsche's kind Failed in flight to us And all my love Grandmother Mother And now I see it in myself I take on the water Until the dam threatens to break I became a little dull My voice became too small *Repeat I'm shakin' I'm shakin' I'm getting down this fantasy And I'm shakin' I'm shakin' I'm getting down this Getting down this You were not my superman I didn't know Just held the phone All my love I'm shakin' I'm shakin' I'm getting down this fantasy I'm shakin' I'm shakin' I'm getting down this, getting down this You were not my superman I wasn't honest I tried to philosphize Only too late did I see I wore nietzsche's eyes Now that I step back to see I haven't been me *Repeat I'm shakin' I'm shakin' I'm getting down this fantasy and I'm shakin' I'm shakin' I'm getting down this getting down this |

Dead dead dead dead walking down to the road to dead
Welcome to the church of me Where they stand in a line in need Of water from my eyes And a song for comfort You say Jesus Christ Well, I feel like him I feel one, two, three Nails through me and Four through the heart *You walk the road to resurrection And I walk the road to dead And I never knew my devotion But I walk the road to dead I held you And wrapped you in the heat of my hand And prayed for my soul Now I want you back As you walk away from my love You need to need Strength is threatenous I filled you will faith And that filled me with pain What the hell am I doing Falling in love with pain again and again and again and again *Repeat Dead dead dead dead walking on to the road to dead |

I am not the person who is singing
I am the silent one inside I am not the one who laughs at people's jokes I just pacify their egos I am not my house, my car, my songs They are only just stops along my way I am like the winter I'm a dark cold female With a golden ring of wisdom in my cave *And it is me who is my enemy Me who beats me up Me who makes the monsters Me who strips my confidence I am carrying my voice I am carrying my heart I am carrying my rhythmn I am carrying my prayers But you can't kill my spirit It's soaring and it's strong Like a mountain I'll go on and on But when my wings are folded The brightly colored moth Blends into the dirt into the ground *Repeat And it's me who's too weak And it's me who's too shy To ask for the thing i love And it's me who's too weak And it's me who's too shy To ask for the thing i love That I love I am walking on the bridge I am over the water And I'm scared as hell But I know there's something better Yes I know there's something Yes I know, i know, yes i know That I love But it's me And it's me But it's me |

You make me feel like a sticky pistil
Leaning into her stamen. You make me feel like Mr. Sunshine himself. You make me feel like splendor in the grass where we're rolling Damn skippy baby you make me feel like the Amazon's running between my thighs. You make me feel love You make me feel like a candy apple all red and horny You make me feel like I want to be dumb blonde In a centerfold, the girl next door. And I would open the door and I'd be all wet With my tits soaking through this tiny little t-shirt That I'm wearing and you would open the door And tie me up to the bed. You make me feel love Lover I don't know who I am. Am I Barry White - am I Isis? Lover I'm laced with your unconscious, I will be your Desdemona |

Long white arms
Losing their strength and form Sixty year man on twenty year old skin Skeleton, your eyes have lost their warmth Look to your father for some support *Hush hush hush Says your daddy's touch Sleep sleep sleep Says the hundredth sheep Peace peace peace May you go in peace Cruel joke you waited so long to show The one that you wanted wasn't a girl All your life you kept it hidden inside Now when you step You stumble You die *Repeat Oh maybe next time You'll be Henry the 8th Wake up tomorrow, alexander the great Open your eyes in a new life again Oh maybe next time You'll be given a chance Hush hush hush Hush |

So open up your morning light.
And say a little prayer for I. You know that if we are to stay alive. Then see the peace in every eye. She had two babies. One was six months,one was three. In the war of '44. Every telephone ring. Every hearbeat stinging. When she thought it was God calling her. Oh would her son grow to know his father? *** I don't want to wait for our lives to be over. I want to know right now what will it be. I don't want to wait for our lives to be over. Will it be yes or will it be sorry? He showed up all wet on the rainy front step. Wearing shrapnel in his skin. And the war he saw lives inside him still, It too hard to be gentle and warm The years pass by and now he has grandaughters *** You look at me from across the room. You're wearing your anguish again. believe me I know the feeling. It sucks you into the jaws of anger. So breathe a little more deeply my love. All we have is this very moment And I don't want to do what his father And his father, and his father did. I want to be here now. So open up your morning light. And say a little prayer for I. You know that if we are to stay alive. Then see the peace in every eye. ***(2x) So open up your morning light. And say a little prayer for I. You know that if we are to stay alive. Then see the love in every eye. |
