This is only temporary These songs are my worst habits My looks and my skin and my temper In this town, this place I call my home Well it's me just purely And I promise I'll get back on track I'll get better so I can come home My looks and my skin and in my head In this town, this place I call my home Well it's me just purely And this cancer, it ain't terminal And this fetish for lovely creatures These songs are my bad luck This town, this place I call my home Well it's me just purely And all my crazy superstitions About living in the past This is my second and last gasp Well it's me just purely Oh and things are gonna turn around I can feel it right to my bones I will come home This town, this place i call my home Me just purely She was crooked and limp And her eyes half shut And her dirty mouth was open Just a little |

I got no secrets When I was a young boy I was beat up by my dad I grew up fast, I took drugs and now I'm in rehab There's a girl that I know and she's only seventeen She said I was her favorite you know what I mean Now I feel okay But every night before I sleep I wish I had kept it to myself for me to keep I got no secrets And all the kids at my school thought I was the enemy Teachers diagnosed psychosis in need of therapy One or two times daily now My doctor has prescribed save me from myself Cause I've tried suicide Now I feel okay But every night before I sleep I wish I had kept it to myself For me to keep |

Take my hand and let it begin
Open your heart and let me in Girl i think im in love with you And i think your in love with me too. There's this girl whose kiss is all i dream of Im the boy who prays its with me that she's in love. The summer has come, and with your face In my mouth its your skin i can taste I know the way past all of your fear Its a song that i sing in your ear. There's this girl whose kiss is all i dream of Im the boy who prays its with me that she's in love. If i knew the words , i would write to her And if i only had wings, i would fly to her There's this gir whose kiss is all i dream of Im the boy who prays its with me that she's in love. |

Once knew a woman, she was skin and bones Invited all the insects to come into her home She trained them so well They could answer her phone The day finally came when the poor woman was overthrown Her husband returned home from voyages at sea To find his lovely wife dead and a spider sipping tea He drew his knife and swore He would have the spider's eyes An army of red ants nearly took him by surprise The sailor and his wife lay dead while neighbors peeked in Outside the dogs were mesmerized By the humming from within News spread throughout the town of the insects' arrival People gathered in the church to pray to God And quote from the Bible Men came with gasoline and torches abright A billion flies covered the skies til it was dark as night The cries were barely heard beneath the buzzing of the bees Now the insects rule so get down on your knees And the town crier said: You God-fearing people had better beware Gather up your idols and begin to prepare The time has come, the locusts have taken the air |

House in Virginia We' love to see you, Emma Red velvet chairs for you to sit on, Emma Blue cobalt teacups every shape, every size Your favorite designs White flawed enamel pots And a place on the shelf for everything you've got When are you coming to stay? Say that you'll never go away Porch swings and everything Your favorite pets, they're everywhere Willow trees and a cool breeze Lemonade, freshly squeezed Sun-thickened linseed oil Is studio equipped for brooding Alcohol and turpentine somehow you find it soothing (chorus) She stands at the full length Admiring herself in her grandmother's hat She says, when she gets her strength She's flying away and she's never coming back |

Want to take her home Meet mom and dad Hard to tell 'bout a girl like this She might smile or she might spit on them yeah I want to scrub her face and take her in my car She plays with the radio And it drives me mad Smells like cherries And you know it makes me hot Talks about them as we drive away yeah Cherries |
