Jewel

I hear the clock, it's 6 am
I feel so far away from where I've been
I got my eggs, and got my pancakes too
I got my maple syrup, everything but you
I break the yolks and make a smiley face
I kinda like it in my brand new place
I wipe the spots off of the mirror
Don't leave the keys in the door
I never put wet towels on the floor anymore 'cause

* Dreams last so long
Even after you're gone
I know, that you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you

I called my momma, she was out for a walk
Consoled a cup of coffee
but it didn't wanna talk, So I..
Picked up a paper, it was more bad news
More hearts being broken or people being used
Put on my coat in the pouring rain
I saw a movie it just wasn't the same
'Cause it was happy oh I was sad and
It made me miss you oh so bad 'cause

* Repeat

I go about my business, I'm doing fine
Besides, what would I say if I had you on the line
Same old story, not much to say
Hearts are broken every day

I brush my teeth and put the cap back on
I know you hate it when I leave the light on
I pick a book up,and I turn the sheets down and I
Take a deep breath and a good look around

Put on my pj's and hop into bed
I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead
I try and tell myself it'll be all right
I just shouldn't think anymore tonight 'cause

* Repeat

Sweet wonderful you
You make me happy with the things you do
Oh, can it be so
This feeling follows me wherever I go

I never did believe in miracles
But I've a feeling it's time to try
I never did believe in the ways of magic
But I'm beginning to wonder why

Don't, don't break the spell
It would be different and you know it will
You, you make loving fun
And I don't have to tell you you're the only one, yeah

I never did believe in miracles
But I've a feeling it's time to try
I never did believe in the ways of magic
But I'm beginning to wonder why

You make loving fun
You make loving fun
You make loving fun
You make loving fun

Sweet wonderful you
You know, you make me happy with the things you do
Oh, can it be so
This feeling follows me wherever I go

I never did believe in miracles
But I've a feeling it's time to try
I never did believe in the ways of magic
But I'm beginning to wonder why

Oh, you know I do
Oh, you make loving, make loving fun, make loving fun
You make loving, make loving fun, make loving fun
You make loving, make loving fun, make loving fun
You make loving, make loving fun, make loving fun

Make your way through mirrored halls
See the boys with all their dolls
A pretty maze, like candied streets
U feel a thrill when your eyes meet
U pick the one with the feathered hair
But I'm the one that makes the boys stare
There's a room, or so I'm told
Where the DJ rocks and we don't grow old
Would u like 2 take a ride?
All u have 2 do is come inside

CHORUS

Say hello 2 the room where the party's jumpin'
Where the boys all freak 'cause boots are bumpin'
Where the girls are naughty and always saying
"Yes u can, yes u can, yes u can"

U got on your money rags
And Papa's got a brand new bag
And Mama's got her hot pants on
While in the back, the beat goes on
Would u like 2 come along?
Then shut up and sing this song

CHORUS

The boys are pale
The girls are soft as nails
The band strikes up and it starts 2 wail
There's a price on everything
It's not cheap 2 buy your dreams

CHORUS

CHORUS x2

winter wonderland
sleighbells ring, are you list'nin?
in the lane snow is glist'nin
a beautiful sight
we're happy tonight
walkin' in a winter wonderland!

gone away is the bluebird
here to stay is the new bird
he sings a love song
as we go along
walkin' in a winter wonderland!

in the meadow we can build a snowman
then pretend that he is parson brown
he'll say, "are you married?"
we'll say, "no, man!
but you can do the job when you're in town!"

later on we'll conspire
as we dream by the fire
to face unafraid
the plans that we made
walkin' in a winter wonderland!

in the meadow we can build a snowman
and pretend that he's a circus clown
we'll have lots of fun with mr. snowman
until the other kiddies knock him down!

when it snows, ain't it thrillin'
though your nose gets a chillin'?
we'll frolic and play
the eskimo way
walkin' in a winter wonderland!
walkin' in a winter wonderland!

(walkin' in a winter wonderland!)
sleighbells ring are you listenin'
(walkin' in a winter wonderland!)
sleighbells ring are you listenin'
in the lane snow is glistenin'
(walkin' in a winter wonderland!)
are you listenin', sleighbells ring are you listenin'
(walkin' in a winter wonderland!)
sleighbells ring are you listenin', sleighbells ring …
(walkin' in a winter wonderland!)

Sleigh bells ringare you listening
In the lanesnow is glistening
A beautiful sight we're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderlan
Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
it sings a love song as we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is parson Brown
He'll sayAre you married
We'll say Noman
But you can do the job when you're in town
Later on we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid the plans that we made
Walking in a winter wonderland
Just hear those sleigh bells
jinglingringtingtingling too
Come onit's lovely weather fora sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling Yoo-hoo
Come on it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is parson Brown
He'll sayAre you married
We'll say Noman
But you can do the job when you're in town
Later on we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid the plans that we made
Walking in a winter wonderland
To face unafraid the plans that we made
Walking in a winter wonderland

People living their lives for you on tv
They say they're better than you and you agree
Another burger, another hot dog, some fries
A wish in the well,
hope your health don't go to hell, well
Another doctor's bill, another lawyer's bill
Another cute cheap thrill
You know you love him if you put him in your will

*Who will save your soul
when it comes to the flower
Who will save your soul
after all the lies that you told, boy
Who will save your soul
if you won't save your own?

We try to hustle them,
try to bustle them, try to cuss them
The cops want someone to bust down on Orleans Avenue
Another day, another dollar,
another war, another tower
Went up where the homeless had their homes
So we pray to as many different
gods as there are flowers
But we call religion our friend
We're so worried about saving our souls
Afraid that god will take his toll
That we forget to begin

* Repeat

Some are walking, some are talking,
some are stalking their kill
You got social security,
but that don't pay your bills
There are addictions to feed
and there are mouths to pay
So you bargain with the devil,
say you're o.k. for today
You say that you love them,
take their money and run
Say, it's been swell, sweetheart
But it was just one of those things
Those flings, those strings you've got to cut
So get out on the streets,
girls, and bust your butts

* Repeat

I called you late last night
you didn't feel like talking,
had to blow off a little bit of steam,
said you were tired of feeling so uptight
you make me so blue
oh I get so lost inside of you that
I cannot always find my way
to where you are

Oh it used to be so easy, used to be so much
you said that was it was bad how you believed in my love
but things are not so simple now
oh I had to turn out the lights somehow
in the darkness you cannot always find your way
to where I am

Please don't take your eyes from me
Because if you did I would no longer be able to see
Please, can't you see I need you
I am a princess and I'm locked inside this stone tower of song
i'm trying to write messages on window veins because I just want to belong
choose me choose me pick me take me
oh I need to believe that no one else exists for you now
and no one else exists for me you are my home
and I've finally found my way
to where you are

Turn to me with frozen lips
Your hands are icy cold
Your eyes burn bright against the frost-bit sky
You never seemed more lovely than you do tonight
Pale on the horizon
Like leaves frozen in the snow
Our two shadows merge inseparably
Will time stand still if it’s pierced with cold

*The more I live
The more I know
What's simple is true
I love you

There's a warmth in my heart
It haunts me when you're gone
Mend me to your side and never let go
Say time knows nothing, we'll never grow cold

*Repeat

Twilight descends on our silhouette
How soon spring comes
How soon spring forgets
I wanna hold time, say it'll never begin
Old man winter be our friend
Old man winter be our friend

*Repeat

Turn to me with frozen lips
Your hands are icy cold
Your eyes burn bright against the frost-bit sky
You never seemed more lovely than you do tonight
Pale on the horizon
Like leaves frozen in the snow
Our two shadows merge inseparably
Will time stand still if it’s pierced with cold

*The more I live
The more I know
What's simple is true
I love you

There's a warmth in my heart
It haunts me when you're gone
Mend me to your side and never let go
Say time knows nothing, we'll never grow cold

*Repeat

Twilight descends on our silhouette
How soon spring comes
How soon spring forgets
I wanna hold time, say it'll never begin
Old man winter be our friend
Old man winter be our friend

*Repeat

I'm driving around town
Kinda bored with the windows rolled down
See a girl on the bus stop bench
Dressed to draw attention

Hoping everyone will stare
If she don't stand out she thinks she'll disappear
Wish I could hold her, tell her, show her
What she wants is already there

A star is a star
It doesn't have to try to shine
Water will fall
A bird just knows how to fly

You don't have to tell a flower how to bloom
Or light how to fill up a room
You already are what you are
And what you are is beautiful

Heard a story the other day
Took place at the local VA
A father talking to his dying son
This was his conversation

"It's not supposed to be like this
You can't go first I can't handle it"
The boy said "Dad now don't you cry,
Remember when I was a child what you used to tell me when I'd ask why?"

(You'd say) Gravity is gravity
It doesn't try to pull you down
Stone is stone
It can't help but hold its ground

The wind just blows, though you can't see
It's everywhere like I'll always be
You already are what you are
And what you are is strong enough

Look in the mirror
Now that's another story to tell
I give love to others
But I give myself hell

I'd have to tell myself
"In every scene there's a perfect plan"
Everything I hoped to be
I already am

A flower is a flower
It doesn't have to try to bloom
And light is light
Just knows how to fill a room


And dark is dark
So the stars have a place to shine
The tide goes out
So it can come back another time

Goodbye makes a love so sweet
And love is love so it can teach us
We already are what we are
And what we are is beautiful

And strong enough
And good enough
And bright enough

Bees are buzzin' in their honey catacomb
All the noise seems to call my head a home
Can't escape the scratchin'
My blood makes a noise
It's hard not to play when there are so many toys
So many toys

Under the water
The total is more than the sum
Under the water
I hear who I'll become

There's a hole inside my head where all the thoughts break out
Sometimes my flesh is filled with forgetfulness and doubt
It's easy to feel separate, no control of the reigns
Innocence ain't lost it just needs to be maintained
It needs to be maintained

Beside me are strange fish, moody and dark
A tapestry of intention that maintains the spark
And there's a tiny light
A flicker within
Forgiveness is the needle that knows how to mend
It knows how to mend

Under the water
The total is more than the sum
Under the water
I hear who I'll become

I've decided to hear who we will become
Wanna lay down in the water, go back to where I'm from
Outer space is just a puzzle of stars
Music the mechanics of the human heart
A post that stirs, a shadow that casts
An insatiable thirst drains a martini glass
There's no place sacred, no honest reflection
Our senses made senseless by a lack o' direction
Monks are great with their fists uncurled
But they live in a cave, they know nothin' of the world
I wanna live brave, I wanna love without fear
But it's hard to navigate when I can't even hear

(Do do do do do do do,
Do do do do)

Bees are buzzin' in their honey catacomb
All the noise seems to call my head a home
Can't escape the scratchin'
My blood makes a noise
It's hard not to play when there are so many toys
There're so many toys

Under the water
The total is more than the sum
Under the water
I hear who I'll become

Under the water
My flesh is filled with stars
Under the water
I hear who we really are

Under the water
I lay my burdens down, down, down
Under the water
All resistance drowns

(Do do do do do do do, Do do do do)
(Do do do do do do do, Do do do do)
(Do do do do do do do, Do do do do)
(Do do do do do do do, Do do do do)
(Do do do do do do do, Do do do do)

Come on, come down, down, down under go,
A-go down on and go down under
Go under the water
I hear who I'll become

Under the water
I lay my problems down
Under the water
All my resistance drowned

It's leavin time again
I'm headed out with all my friends
It's a roll of the dice
I've never thought twice
About the way I've been spending my time
Trying my guts out for every dime

Working in an office building tall
Don't know who's next to you at all
But being out here
The blood, the guts, the beer
Is a test
Only time will tell
It brings you close, man
Closer than hell

CHORUS:
We're leaving, leaving again
Can't recall where all we been
I guess we'll just go
Go till we're too old
Or we run out of road

The other day I talked to Lou
He quit back in '92
Says he misses it bad
Those were the best times he ever had
He said, "Give it hell to the end
'Cause once you quit
You can't get it back again"

CHORUS:
We're leaving, leaving again
Can't recall where all we been
I guess we'll just go
Go till we're too old
Or we run out of road

BRIDGE:
Expensive cabs and shitty food
Washed down with cancelled flights
This week endorsement holidays
You miss your boy and wife
Oh the late night drives, the calls
The dawn to strike you like a knife
Hey man, this is a beautiful life

We're leaving again, leaving again...

CHORUS (x2):
We're leaving, leaving again
Can't recall where all we been
I guess we'll just go
I guess we'll just go
I guess we'll just go
Till we're too old
Or we run out of road

It's leavin' time again
I'm headed out with all my friends
It's a roll of the dice
I've never thought twice about the way
I've been spending my time
Trying my guts out for every dime
Working in an office building tall
Don't know who's next to you at all
But being out here
The blood, the guts, the beer is a test
Only time will tell
Brings you close, man
Closer than hell

*We're leaving, we're leaving again
Can't recall where all we've been
Guess we'll just go
Go till we're too old
Or we run out of road

The other day I talked to Lou
He quit back in '92
Says he misses it bad
Those were the best times we ever had
He said, "Give it hell till the end
'Cause once you quit you can't get it back again"

*Repeat

Expensive cabs and shitty food
Washed down with cancelled flights
Missed wake-up calls
Missed holidays
You miss your boy and wife
All the late night drives that cause
the dawn to strike you like a knife
Hey man, this is a beautiful life

*Repeat

Call me as soon as your plane gets in
I'll tell you where to take the cab
Can't talk now in the middle of this crowd
But baby, I miss you so bad

I got a bottle of wine
Some stolen time
Key to a room where you can be all mine

Till it feels like cheating
Till it feels that good
Nobody's leaving
So let's get it understood
Oh you could be a stranger
It's been that long
There's something 'bout the danger of feeling like we're doing something wrong

Let's make the love that we needed
Till it feels like cheating

Don't say a word when you walk in
We ain't got time for that
Kiss me hard like we're about to sin
And there ain't no going back

For a while we'll be free, just you and me
Making promises life won't let us keep

Till it feels like cheating
Till it feels that good
Nobody's leaving
So let's get it understood
Oh you could be a stranger
It's been that long
There's something 'bout the danger of feeling like we're doing something wrong

Let's make the love that we needed
Till it feels like cheating

Keeping the spark going is an everyday fight
So I sent the kids to your mama
And baby, we got all night

Till it feels like cheating
Till it feels that good
Nobody's leaving
So let's get it understood
You could be a stranger
It's been that long
There's something 'bout the danger of feeling like we're doing something wrong

Let's make the love that we needed
Till it feels like cheating
Oh yeah, baby
Let's make the love that we needed
Till it feels like cheating

This Way

Love be still
Love be sweet
Don't you dare
Change a thing
I want to photograph you with my mind
To feel how I feel now all the time

Say that you'll stay
Forever this way
Forever and forever
That we'll never have to change
Don't move
Don't breathe
Don't change
Don't leave
And promise me
Say you'll stay
We'll stay
This way

I get afraid
Don't think ahead
Let's just stay
This way in bed
Feels so good inside your arms
Home is everywhere that you are

Say that you'll stay
Forever this way
Forever and forever
That we'll never have to change
Don't move
Don't breathe
Don't change
Don't leave
And promise me
Say you'll stay
We'll stay
This way

Don't move
Don't breathe
Don't change
Don't leave
Promise me
We'll always be
This kind, this sweet
This good to me
Promise me
You'll always be

Say that you'll stay
Forever this way
Forever and forever
That we'll never have to change
Don't move
Don't breathe
Don't change
Don't leave
And promise me
Say you'll stay
We'll stay
This way

Love be still
Love be sweet
Don't you dare
Change a thing
I want to photograph you with my mind
To feel how I feel now all the time

*Say that you'll stay
Forever this way
Forever and forever
That we'll never have to change
Don't move
Don't breathe
Don't change
Don't leave
And promise me
Say you'll stay
We'll stay

I get afraid
Don't thinkg ahead
Let's just stay

*repeat

Don't move
Don't breathe
Don't change
Don't leave
promise me
We'll always be
This kind, this sweet
This good to me
Promise me
We'll always be

*repeat

You see the ghost of the buffalo moving both fierce and slow
Like glittering prophesies on the edge of the horizon
As you drive glittering highways and beaten-up byways
That straddle and girdle our great and many-faced nation
You see the lambs in the ghettos who worship their Gepettos
Believing in, never seeing, the strings they think bind them
So we write to our congressmen with bleeding pens of the sorrow within
And in return, they just send tickets to the latest Tom Hanks show

*Welcome to the new wild west
Each man for himself
A nation of civilized steeples
And lonely people
Welcome to the new wild west

There are so many factions and cue-card reactions
It's hard to keep clear the possibilities here 'cause there's no
force to unite them
Privilege has ruled for thousands of years
Wars have been fought with bibles and tears
Yet liberation can't deny the temptation and soon becomes the
oppressor
Show me a leader who's fit to lead
Who don't sow his seed in anything wounded enough to breed
Because after all, what fun is power if you can't act like a rock
star?

*Repeat

As for me, I've been petty
Oh, and unkind, but I know my own mind
And since it seems clear there's no one leading us here
The only thing left it appears is to task ourselves to be better each
time, than those before us
We'll be an army of thieves, of self-freed slaves, of mild-mannered
maids
We'll fight with whispers and blades
So get ready, a new day is dawning

*Repeat

Whoever said that love is easy, must has never been in love;
Sometimes its a land mine, one wrong step and it blows up;
A word, a look, lights a hidden fuse.

It's hard to see just what you have, when you're seeing red;
And it's easy to do something that you know you both will regret;
Better stop, think, count to ten before I leave.

One, I still wanna hate you;
Two, three, I still wanna leave;
Four, searching for that door;
Five, then I look into your eyes;
Six, take a deep breathe;
Seven, take a step back;
Eight, nine, I don't know why, we even started this fight;
By the time I get to ten, I'm right back in your arms again.

Words thrown so carelessly like weapons when we fight;
But when they cut too deep, I wanna leave it all behind;
That I've to count to ten, before I cross that line.

One, I still wanna hate you;
Two, three, I still wanna leave;
Four, searching for that door;
Five, then I look into your eyes;
Six, take a deep breathe;
Seven, take a step back;
Eight, nine, I don't know why, we even started this fight;
By the time I get to ten, I'm right back in your arms again.

You can lose what you're not thankful for,
I don't want that to happen to you and me,
Better count my blessing.

One, you still move me;
Two, three, you send chills right through me;
Four, you keep me wanted more;
Five, when I look into your eye;
Six, you're my best friend;
Seven, that will never end;
Eight, nine, I don't know why, but thank God it happens every-time;
By the time I get to ten,
By the time I get to ten,
I can see how bless I've been.

I'll chose you all over again...

Sweet Temptation - Jewel


Running fast through a fairy tale
Dark woods; starless night
Feel cold air in my lungs
Full moon, u follow me-u say
"Why do hearts so often stray?"
U pierce me like an arrow
Beneath the blanket of night
Longing for flight

[CHORUS]

When u fall into me
It feels so sweet, like dreaming
Press yourself into me
Let me feel your breathing
There's a voice in your heart
Softly calling
Come 2 me u will see, just give in
2 this sweet temptation

I awake, do a double take 2 see
Where it is that I lay-it could be
Day or night, I'm not quite sure
Your absence is a thorn
Your flesh, your skin
Is the only flag there is 2 believe in

[CHORUS]

I can love u like nobody else

When u fall into me
It feels so sweet, like dreaming
Press yourself into me
Let me feel your breathing
There's a voice in your heart
Softly calling

[CHORUS]

Big wheels keep on turning
Carry me home to see my kin
Singing songs about the South land
I miss ole 'Bamy once again, and I think it's a sin, yeah

Well, I heard Mister Young sing about her
Well, I heard old Neil put her down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A southern man don't need him around anyhow

*Sweet home Alabama, where the skies are so blue
Sweet home Alabama, Lord, I'm coming home to you

In Birmingham they love the Gov'nor, hoo hoo hoo
Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you, tell the truth

*Repeat

Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
And they've been known to pick a song or two,yes they do
Lord, they get me off so much
They pick me up when I'm feeling blue, now how about you

*Repeat

Big wheels keep on turning,
Carry me home to see my kin
Singing songs about the southland.
I miss ole bamy once again
and I think it's a sin.
Well, I heard Mister Young sing about her.
Well, I heard ole Neil put her down.
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A southern man
don't need him around anyhow.
Sweet home Alabama
where the skies are so blue.
Sweet home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you.
In Birmingham they love the Gov'nor.
Now we all did what we could do.
Now Watergate does not bother me.
Does your conscience bother you
tell the truth.
Sweet home Alabama
where the skies are so blue.
Sweet home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you.
Sweet home Alabama
where the skies are so blue.
Sweet home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you.
Sweet home Alabama

Sweet home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you.

Sunshine came softly through my window today
I could have tripped out easy but I've changed my ways.
It'll take time I know it, but in a while...
You're gonna be mine and I know it, we'll do it in style.

Cause I've made my mind up you're going to be mine
I'll tell you right now...
Any trick in the book, oh baby, that I can find.
Everybody's hustling just to have a little scene.
When I say we'll be cool, well, I think that, you know what I mean.
We stood on a beach at sunset, do you remember when...
I know a beach where baby, it never ends.

When you've made your mind up forever to be mine.
I'll pick up your hand and slowly, blow your little mind.
Cause I've made my mind up you're going to be mine
I'll tell you right now...
Any trick in the book, oh baby, that I can find

Superman or Green Lantern ain't got, nothin' on me.
I can make like a turtle and dive for pearls in the sea
You can just sit there thinkin', on your velvet throne
About all the rainbows you can have for your own.

When you've made your mind up forever to be mine.

I'll tell you right now...
I'll pick up your hand and slowly, blow your little mind.

When you've made your mind up forever to be mine.
I'll pick up your hand and slowly, blow your little mind.

I'll tell you right now.

You take your coat off and throw it on the floor
Night delivers you to my arms once more
You feel so familiar as you get into bed
Cigarette smoke halo around your head
You lean over and kiss me so sweet...
Nobody wake me
if this is a dream, I’m gonna

[Chorus]
Build myself a summer home
Build myself a summer home in your arms

I kiss you with the languid adoration of slumber
Landin' random as lotto numbers
One on each eye
And, oops, one on your nose
And ten for each of your cute little toes
You lean over and kiss me so sweet...
Nobody wake me
if this is a dream, I’m gonna

[Repeat Chorus]

[Bridge]
Some people build with wood and brick
Some people build with stone and stick
I’m gonna build mine kiss ..by..kiss
I’m gonna

[Repeat Chorus]

I'm a bit of a mess and I'm gone too much
But when I'm away it's you I long to touch
And certain things remind me it's such a special treat
As these little things that bring you to me
You lean over and kiss me so sweet...
Nobody wake me
If this is a dream, I’m gonna

Build myself a summer home [2x]
Build myself a summer home in your arms
Built with all your charms

I guess you could say
I'm one of those girls
That's always been with one of those guys
You know the type
Like right now
He sleeps while I write

It's better than crying
I'm worn out from trying
From loving a man who always makes it clear
I'm not welcome here
Just when he's hungry or horney/frisky or needs something cleaned
You know what I mean
But not tonight
Cuz' come the morning light

I'm gonna love myself
More than anyone else
Believe in me
Even if someone can't see
A stronger woman in me

I'm gonna be my own best friend
Stick with me till the end
Won't lose myself again
Never, no
Cuz' there's a stronger woman
A stronger woman in me

The light bulbs buzz I get up
Head to my drawer
Wish there was more
I could say
Another fairy tale fades to grey


I've lived on hope
Like a child
Walking that mile
Faking that smile
All the while
Wishing my heart had wings
Well from now on I'm gonna be
The kind of woman I'd want my daughter to be
Oh

I'm gonna love myself
More than anyone else
Believe in me
Even if someone can't see
A stronger woman in me
I'm gonna' be my own best friend
Stick with me till the end
Won't lose myself again
Never, no
Cause there's a stronger woman
Stronger woman

This is me packing up my bags
This is me headed for the door
This is me the best you've ever had

I'm gonna love myself
More than anyone else
Believe in me, even if someone can't see
The stonger woman in me

I'm gonna be my own best friend
Stick with me till the end
Won't lose myself again
No, no
Cause there's a stronger woman, stronger woman
There's a stronger woman
Stronger woman in me
Stronger woman in me

Housewives told to recapture their youth
By wearing floral print and suede
Fixing their hairdos with PC, chemical-free hairspray
Martha Stewart taught them to make on TV
I was raised a farmgirl
Now I'm too far from home, all alone on the road
Trying to figure out who I am now the the stardust has turned to sand
And the sand has turned to stone on the starmaking machine

I'm 31 years old
That ain't the end but it sure ain't where I began

And my daddy, he wrote songs and he broke colts
And he went back to school to get a degree
Now he teaches music to kids, he taught music to me
And this Alaskan girl has been living in Stephenville, Texas, that is
Yes, you guessed it, I moved there because I fell in love with a man
I moved his ex-old lady's thing out of the closet
The same closet I had to move my things back in
No, it didn't make me feel that great, as if to demonstrate
Everything's temporary if you give it enough time

I'm 31 years old
That ain't the end but it sure ain't where I began

But hey, I'm just a kid, I've got nothing to lose
I'm a singer of songs, I'm a player for crowds


Hey Ma, look, I'm an entertainer
I'm a modern day troubadour trying to find justice with six strings
Trying to make the world make sense out of me
Trying to be loved completely, trying to love honestly
Trying to find a decent high noon cup of tea
In another hotel
I'm trying to listen to the leaves speak
Trying to steal secrets from fishes in the creek
Trying to figure out who I am
A pretty mediocre cook, an even worse mathematician, maybe a mother one day
What will it be?
I'm trying to figure out who I am
But there's no hand to hold, no Doctor Martin Luther King
There's just syncophants
And the mindlessness on TV
We all read magazines on the latest ways to behave
So why not follow me, the blond bombshell deity?
I'll sell you neat ideas without big words
And a little bit of cleavage to wash it all down
Ya know, everybody thought Godard was a clown man
And that ain't gonna be me

And I'm 31 years old
That ain't the end but it sure ain't where I began
And I'm 31 years old
That ain't the end but it sure ain't where I began
Guess that just makes it Stephenville, Texas

I'm staring at the ceiling, laying here dreaming,
Wasting the day away
The world's flying by our window outside
But hey baby that's okay
This feels so right, it can't be wrong so far as I can see
Where you wanna go
Baby, I'll do anything

'Cause if you wanna go
Baby, let's go
If you wanna rock,
I'm ready to roll
And if you wanna slow down,
We can slow down together
If you wanna walk,
Baby, let's walk
Have a little kiss,
Have a little talk
We don't gotta leave at all
We can stay here forever
Lay here forever, oh

If you want to see that Italian tower leaning
Baby, we can leave right now
If that's too far, we can head in the car
And take a little trip around town
They say that California is nice and warm this time of year
Baby, say the word and we'll just disappear

'Cause if you wanna go
Baby, let's go
If you wanna rock,
I'm ready to roll
And if you wanna slow down,
We can slow down together
If you wanna walk,
Baby, let's walk
Have a little kiss,
Have a little talk
We don't gotta leave at all
We can lay here forever
Stay here forever, oh

Take me for a whirl,
Just a boy and a girl
Letting go of it all
Holding on to one another
Or there's a whole world to discover
Right here, under the covers

'Cause if you wanna go
Baby, let's go
If you wanna rock,
I'm ready to roll
And if you wanna slow down,
We can slow down together
If you wanna walk,
Baby, let's walk
Have a little kiss,
Have a little talk

Cuttin' through the darkest night in my two headlights
Trying to keep it clear, but I'm losing
It here to the twilight
There's a dead end to my lift,
There's a burning bush to my right
You aren't In sight, you aren't In sight
Do you want me, like I want you?

Chorus:
Or am I standing still, beneath the darkened sky?
Or am I standing still, with the scenery flying by?
Or am I standing still, out of the comer of my eye?
Was that you passing me by?

Mothers on the stoop, boys In souped-up
Coupes on this hot summer night
Between fight and flight is the blind man's
Sight and the choice that's right
I roll the window down,
Feel like I'm gonna drown In this strange town
Feel broken down, I feel broken down
Do you need me, like I need you?

Chorus

Sweet sorrow is the call tomorrow
Sweet sorrow is the call tomorrow
Do you love me, like I love you?

Chorus

Are you passing me by? (Passing me by)
Do you want me? (Passing me by)
Do you need me, like I need you too?
And do you want me, like I want you?
Are you passing me by?

두 개의 헤드라이트로 어두운 밤을 뚫고 달리죠.
명쾌하게 해보려 노력하지만,
난 동틀 때쯤엔(그럴 힘을) 잃어가고 있어요.
내 왼편에는 막다른 골목이 있고,
오른편에는 불타오르는 덤불이 있네요.
당신은 보이지 않고요, 당신은 보이지 않아요.
내가 당신을 원하듯, 당신도 나를 원하나요?

후렴:
아니면 난 그대로 서있는 건가요? 어두워진 하늘 아래에서...
난 그대로 서 있는 건가요? 저 풍경들을 지나치는 채로...
난 그대로 서 있는 건가요? 내 시야를 벗어난 채로...
나를 지나치는 건 당신이었나요?

집 문 앞 계단에 선 어머니들,
뜨거운 여름밤에 속력을 높인 마차에 탄 아이들,
싸움과 질주 가운데 맹목적인 인간의 시각과
올바른 선택이 있군요.
난 창문을 내리고, 오늘 밤 이상한 마을에서
걱정을 잊어 볼까해요.
무너진 마음으로, 난 좌절감을 느껴요.
내가 당신을 필요로 하듯, 당신도 날 필요로 하나요?

후렴:
달콤한 슬픔은 내일을 오게 하는 부름이 되죠.
달콤한 슬픔은 내일을 오게 하는 부름이 되요.
내가 당신을 사랑하듯, 당신도 날 사랑하나요?

후렴
당신은 날 지나쳐 가나요? (지나쳐 가나요)
당신은 날 원하나요? (지나쳐 가나요)
나 역시 당신을 필요로 하듯, 당신도 날 필요로 하나요?
내가 당신을 원하듯, 당신도 날 원하나요?
당신은 날 그냥 지나쳐 가나요?

Cutting through the darkest night with my two head lights
Trying to keep it clear, but I'm losing it here, to the twilight
There's a dead end to my left, there's a burning bush to my right
You aren't in sight, you aren't in sight

Do you want me
Like I want you

Or am I standing still
Beneath the darkened sky
Or am I standing still
With the scenery flying by
Or am I standing still
Out of the corner of my eye
Was that you
Passing my by

Mother's on the stoop, boys in souped up coupes, on this hot summer night
Between fight and flight is the blind man's sight and a choice that's right
I roll the window down, feel like I'm, I'm gonna drown, in this strange town
Feel broken down, I feel broken down ,I feel broken down


Do you need me
Like I need you

Or am I standing still
Beneath the darkened sky
Or am I standing still
With the scenery flying by
Or am I standing still
Out of the corner of my eye
Was that you
Passing my by

A sweet sorrow is the call tomorrow
A sweet sorrow is the call tomorrow

Do you love me
Like I love you

Or am I standing still
Beneath the darkened sky
Or am I standing still
With the scenery flying by
Or am I standing still
Out of the corner of my eye
Was that you
Passing me by

Are you passing me by
Passing me by
Do you want me
Passing me by

Do you need me
Like I need you too
And do you want me
Like I want you
(Passing me by)

Are you passing me by
Or am I standing still

Cutting through the darkest night with my two head lights
Trying to keep it clear, but I'm losing it here, to the
twilight
There's a dead end to my left, there's a burning bush to my
right
You aren't in sight, you aren't in sight

Do you want me

Walk in a corner shop
See a shoplifting cop
See the old lady with a gun
See the hero try to run
Nothing's what it seems, I mean
it's not all dirty but it's not all clean
There's children paying bills
There's monks buying thrills
There's pride for sales in magazines
There's pills for rent to make you clean
Marvin Gaye, there's no brother, brother
Woody Guthrie's land can't feed mother

CHORUS
Mothers weep, chidren sleep
so much violence ends in silence
It's a shame there's no one to blame
For all the pain that life brings
If you will just take me
It might just complete me
And together we can make a stand

A waitress brings me lunch
We meet but do not touch
On TV.DC is selling lies
While in the corner, King's dream dies
Go to the corner, pay for me and my friend
A homeless man pulls out a roll, says it's on him
The mayor has no cash
He said he spent it on hookers and hash

You will love me, I will love you

A homeless man pulls out a roll, says it's on him
The mayor has no cash
He said he spent it on hookers and hash

CHORUS

You will love me, I will love you

CHORUS

Walk in a corner shop
See a shoplifting cop
See the old lady with a gun
See the hero try to run
Nothing's what it seems, I mean
it's not all dirty but it's not all clean
There's children paying bills
There's monks buying thrills
There's pride for sales in magazines
There's pills for rent to make you clean
Marvin Gaye, there's no brother, brother
Woody Guthrie's land can't feed mother

CHORUS
Mothers weep, chidren sleep
so much violence ends in silence
It's a shame there's no one to blame
For all the pain that life brings
If you will just take me
It might just complete me
And together we can make a stand

A waitress brings me lunch
We meet but do not touch
On TV.DC is selling lies
While in the corner, King's dream dies
Go to the corner, pay for me and my friend
A homeless man pulls out a roll, says it's on him
The mayor has no cash
He said he spent it on hookers and hash

CHORUS

You will love me, I will love you

CHORUS

Night with its shattered teeth attempts to speak
My pen is present but courage left via the sink
And I'm sorry I snuck up on you from behind
Sorry not all my love letters did rhyme
And I'm sorry that Jesus died for my sins
And I swear to God it won't happen again
And I'm sorry if it was my swerve that tempted you to sway
Oh well, sometimes it be that way
And Romeo was a very nice man
He said, "Jewel, I don't think you quite understand"
And I'm sorry if you had to explain it like this
Sorry I was a point you were destined to miss
And I'm sorry I spoke to you irreverently
Down in the hollow by the old olive tree
And I'm sorry if my heart breaking ruined your day
Oh well, sometimes it be that way

*I said, "Oh well, I got nothing left to sell"
This love was a bell that rang unheard in the air
I was bound to find out that you didn't care
Oh well, sometimes it be that way

And Aphrodite with her neon lamp
Kissed Neptune, they put her face on a stamp
And I'm sorry I used it to mail a letter to you
Sorry I'm glue and the rest bounces off of you
And I'm sorry not even this jet's metal wings
Could get across these simple things
And I'm sorry if I ever sang your name in vain
Oh well, sometimes it be that way

*Repeat

Now flame licks the air with its silver tongue
Night has many hands but I have just one
And I'm sorry I walked in on you unexpectedly
I'm sorry I never served you chamomile tea
And I'm sorry I didn't always have a match
That could start a fire big enough for your heart to catch
And I'm sorry if it was my heart breaking that ruined your day
Oh well, sometimes it be that way
Oh well, sometimes it be that way

Night with its shattered teeth attempts to speak
My pen is present but courage left via the sink
And I'm sorry I snuck up on you from behind
Sorry not all my love letters did rhyme
And I'm sorry that Jesus died for my sins
And I swear to God it won't happen again
And I'm sorry if it was my swerve that tempted you to sway
Oh well, sometimes it be that way
And Romeo was a very nice man
He said, "Jewel, I don't think you quite understand"
And I'm sorry if you had to explain it like this

Chorus

If you love somebody
You better let it out
Don't hold it back
While you're tryin' to figure it out
Don't be timid
Don't be afraid to hurt
Run toward the flame
Run toward the fire
And hold on for all you're worth
'Cause the only real pain a heart can ever know
Is the sorrow of regret when you don't let your feelin's show

So did you say it?
Did you mean it?
Did you lay it on the line, did you make it count?
Did you look 'em in the eye and did they feel it?
Did you say it in time, did you say it out loud?
'Cause if you did hun
Then you've lived some
And that feelin' inside
That's called satisfied

Busy people walkin' by
Can't help but worry some
So many things to do
And so little love gets done
Empty hearts everywhere
Drownin' but dying of thirst
If we want love
It's not that tough
Start by givin' it first
It's easy to give baby can't you see
Just close your eyes, open your heart and do what comes naturally

So did you say it?
Did you mean it?
Did you lay it on the line, did you make it count?
Did you look 'em in the eye and did they feel it?
Did you say it in time, did you say it out loud?
'Cause if you did hun
Then you've lived some
And that feelin' inside
That's called satisfied

Horses are built to run
The sun was meant to shine above
Flowers are made to bloom
And there's us
We were born to love
We were born to love

So did you say it?
Did you mean it?
Did you lay it all on the line?

Did you say it?
Did you mean it?
Did you lay it on the line, did you make it count?
Did you look 'em in the eye and did they feel it?
Did you say it in time, did you say it out loud?
Because if you did hun
Then you've lived some
And that feeling inside
That's called satisfied

La dah la, la la la
That's called satisfied
La dah la, la dah dah

Babies on beach blankets headed for Mars
Cute guys in crew cuts with the day goes to bars
There's a pretty lady in a bikini
Her eyes are clear
But her teeth look like smashed out window panes
She's trying to fix her dreams
With seaweed and sushi and carrot juice and wheat germ

There's a wide wall
That she can't see over now
But that's ok
Because mistakes are allowed when you're a
Satellite

A jog in the morning with some vitamins
Then go to a singles bar
California is sure lovely
It's the home of the stars
And everybody's got a great body, but mine
That's just fine
Cuz everybody's so shriveled up inside
They're trying to hide behind
Power Bars and Vollyball and Valium

It's a wide wall
That we can't see over now
But that's ok
We're still growing
You know that
Mistakes are allowed when you're a
Satellite

No matter where you go
You can't outrun a cold
No matter what you do
You can't escape the flu
No matter how you try
You can't stop a satellite

In Hollywood there's all these heroes
They're strung out on grace
Half-skinned gypsies
They're crying to leave this place
There are souls stuck in a bone machine
They are dying in crowded rooms
They are dying of blood on bone
They are crushed by ???
Cigarettes and ?? and high hopes

There's a wide wall
That we can't see over now
But that's all right
We're still growing
You know that
Mistakes are allowed when you're a
Satellite

You can't hold back a Satellite

Hey little baby, little lover boy
Get in my arms, give me some joy
I wanna hold u tonight
It'll be alright
'Cause the night is long and I hunt for u
In this darkest hour, where have u gone 2?
Won't u come 2 my side
I need u tonight

[CHORUS]

Run 2 me, I'll run 2 u
Let me crash into u
Run 2 u, you'll run 2 me
I alone can love u
U belong 2 me

I need u for dark reasons, dear
For greed and lust and seed and fear
For all the songs that I can hear when u are near
'Cause the places I've been, well I'm trying 2 forget
But the further I run, well, the further I get
But with just one kiss, u know that it do not exist
So won't u dance for me beneath the street lamp's light
With your arms stretched out, baby, drunk on wine
U know it feels so good, like it should, just 2 laugh
I knew that it would

[CHORUS]

La, la, la, close your eyes
La, la, la, it's a lullaby

[CHORUS]

Hey little baby

Get in my arms

Come 2 my side
I need u tonight
Run 2 me I'll run 2 u
let me crash into u
Oh run 2 u

I alone can love u

I need u for dark
reasons dear
For greed and lust and
seed and fear
For all the songs

When u are near
'cause the places
I've been well
I'm trying 2 forget
But further I run well
the further I get
But just one
kiss u know
That it do not exist
so won't u dance
For me beneath
the street
Lamp's light with
your arms
Stretched out baby
drunk on wine
U know it
feels so good like
It should just 2 laugh
I knew that it would
Run 2 me I'll run 2 u
let me crash into u
Oh run 2 u
you'll run 2 me
I alone can love u
u belong 2 me
la la la la la la
la la run 2 me
I'll run 2 u

Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor rudolph
Join in any reindeer games
Then one foggy Christmas eve
Santa came to say:
"Rudolph with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee (Yipee)
"Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
You'll go down in history."

Mick came home late last night
He drank enough beer to take the edge off a knife
And she opened the door, looking older than before

He said, "Rosey, you're too good a girl"
She let him in, he lifted up her dress
Like an apology began to kiss her breast
And he felt much relieved as the ceiling fan tapped out a broken melody

And she said, "Do you remember when we were younger and angry words were said,
Making up was always your favorite part
Well, I ain't young no more
And I'm sorry will not mend a broken heart."

He came home threw his things on the floor
She worked up the courage to say what she never had before
But the words got lost inside
He got that look in his eye as the sun went shining on

And she said, "Do you remember when we were younger and angry words were said,
Making up was always your favorite part
Well, I ain't young no more
And I'm sorry will not mend a broken heart."

Well the judge knew well Mick was a violent man
She got a few headlines, she got a slap on the hand
And there ain't no villains and there ain't no heroes
People on both sides of the tracks trying to add up a whole bunch of zeros
And time marches on until it's all gone

And she said, "Do you remember when we were younger and angry words were said,
Making up was always your favorite part
Well, I ain't young no more
And I'm sorry will not mend a broken, a broken heart."

She's an ugly girl,
does it make you want to kill her?
She's an ugly girl,
do you want to kick in her face?
She's an ugly girl,
she doesn't pose a threat
She's an ugly girl,
does that make you feel safe?

Ugly girl, ugly girl, do you hate her
'Cause she's pieces of you?

She's a pretty girl,
does she make you think nasty thoughts?
She's a pretty girl,
do you want to tie her down?
She's a pretty girl,
do you call her a bitch?
She's a pretty girl,
did she sleep with your whole town?

Pretty girl, pretty girl, do you hate her
'Cause she's pieces of you?

You say he's a faggot,
does it make you want to hurt him?
You say he's a faggot,
do you want to bash in his brain?
You say he's a faggot,
does he make you sick to your stomach?
You say he's a faggot,
are you afraid you're just the same?

Faggot, faggot, do you hate him
'Cause he's pieces of you?

You say he's a Jew,
does it mean that he's tight?
You say he's a Jew,
do you want to hurt his kids tonight?
You say he's a Jew,
he'll never wear that funny hat again
You say he's a Jew,
as though being born were a sin

Oh Jew, oh Jew, do you hate him
'Cause he's pieces of you?

eighty years, an old lady now, sitting on the front porch
watching the clouds roll by
they remind her of her lover, how he left her,
and of times long ago
when she used color carelessly, painted his portrait
a thousand times - or maybe just his smile -
and she and her canvas would follow him wherever he would go

'cause they were painters and they were painting themselves
a lovely world

oil-streaked daisies covered the living room wall
he put water-colored rosesin her hair
he said, "love, i love you,
i want to give you mountains, the sunshine the sunset too
i want to give you everything as beautiful as you are to me."

'cause they were painters and
they were painting themselves a lovely world

so they sat down and made a drawing of their love,
an art to live by
they painted every passion, every home,
created every beautiful child
in the winterthey were weavers of warmth
in summer they were carpenters of love
they thought blue prints were too sad so they made them yellow

'cause they were painters and
they were painting themselves a lovely world

until one day the rain fell as thick as black oil
and in her heart she knew something was wrong she went running
through the orchard screaming,
"no god, don't take him from me!"
but by the time she got there,
she feared he already had gone

she got to where he lay,
water-colored roses in his hands for her
she threw them down screaming,
'damn you man, don't leave me
with nothing left behind but these cold paintings,
these cold portraits to remind me!"

he said, "love i leave, but only a little,
try to understand
i put my soul in this life we created with these four hands
love, i leave, but only a little, this world holds me still
my body may die now, but these paintings are real."

so many seasons came and many seasons went
and many times she saw her love'sface watering the flowers,
talking to the trees and singing to his children
and when the wind blew, she knew he was listening,
and how he seemed to laugh along, and how he seemed to hold her
when she was crying

'cause they were painters and
they were painting themselves a lovely world

eighty years, an old lady now, sitting on the front porch
watching the clouds roll by, they remind her of her lover
how he left her and of times long ago,
when she used to color carelessly,
painted his portrait a thousand times,or maybe just his smile,
and she and her canvas would follow him wherever hewould go
yes, she and her canvas still follow

because they are painters and
they are painting themselves a lovely world
