Straw Girl
02:53
|

I am a straw girl standing in a field
The crow on my shoulder knows I’m not real
I am the ghost that haunts your attic
I am the voice in white noise static
I’m not real, yes I’m a fake
So don’t give me more than I can take
Don’t need a wall to put my back up to
I brought my own
When I look at you, you look right past
Three cheers for the ladies coming in last
Oh, thank God for the old man, working for the city
Sits at the bar and tells me I’m pretty
I don’t mind it and I think he knows it
But I ain’t crazy and he’s no poet
Don’t need a wall to put our backs up to
We brought our own
(Inner Monologue)
Well, I heard you say I should know my limits
Tried my best but I couldn’t be timid
So I carry all my tension in my shoulder blades
I’m saving it up for a rainy day
I know I’m not what you want to see
But here I am, and here I’ll be
Don’t need a wall to put my back up to
I brought my own
I’m the rich ladies with the botox faces
I’m Eddie Murphy in trading places
I am the smile covering up your feeling
I am the mask on a Scooby Doo villain
I am a straw girl standing in a field
The crow on my shoulder knows I’m not real

Full-Time Lover
03:07
|
|||
Seems some things aren’t meant to be
Too much distance and too much time
But still I can not help to dream
About if you had been mine
Seems like such a tragedy
That fate would keep us apart
At least a missed opportunity
For two lonely hearts
Oh, David the things I would’ve done to you
We’d’ve gone from fascination to love before we even knew
If I’d’ve been ten years older and you’d’ve been ten years younger
And you had a midlife crisis, could’ve been your
Full-time, full-time lover
I would’ve filled up the space under your cheekbones
Traded your cigarettes for steak and kidney pie
Called you every evening on the telephone
Treasured the shape of both your eyes
I would have laughed at you for being so dramatic
And kissed you when your nightmares came to call
Held you when your soul was feeling plastic
I could’ve been there, been there through it all
(Chorus)
Maybe it’s just too cosmic
But after all, you’re still old Major Tom
So, if you’re flying out in space somewhere
Do you think that I come along?
(Chorus)

Robot Girlfriend
02:47
|

Geordi’s got a robot girlfriend
I hear she’s headed up for the weekend
She’s programmed for love, yeah she’s programmed for fun
Geordi’s got a robot girlfriend
They think he’s headed off the deep end
But she’s programmed for love, yeah she’s programmed for fun
And he thinks she’s the one
She told him “Beep, bop, boop boop, beep” means you love me
And “Beep, bop, boop, boop boop boop” means I love you
Geordi’s got a robot girlfriend
She was formed from a human conscience
He makes her blush, but she’s cold to the touch
Geordi’s got a robot girlfriend
She helped him make the calculations
She plus he inside of holodeck three equals
Something, really something
(Chorus)
I love you Geordi
Let’s fly through space together forever
Beep, bop, boop boop, beep

The Greatest
03:08
|
|||
Everybody knows that you’re the greatest
Anyone can see that I’m not good
You’d be a fool to be with me
‘Cause you’re the greatest
And that’s one thing that I could never be
Someone who was kind
Could never hurt you
Someone who could love
Could never cause you so much pain
Maybe, is it better, in the long run
If I leave here today and never pass this way again?
(Chorus)
Thought maybe I could grow
You know I want to change
But every time I try, it seems to turn out just the same
Maybe there is something
Deep inside
That it’s better just to hide
(Chorus)
So, goodbye, my friend. I know it’s true
Because bye’s the only good thing I can give to you
I’ll walk away now and not look back
‘Cause the greatest person that I know deserves that
(Chorus)

When I'm Grown
03:02
|
|||
If you don’t want to talk, it’s okay to just listen
But I can’t help wondering if there’ll be something missing
When I’m grown
When I’m grown
I’m big enough to know that my body will change
But is there any part of me that will still feel the same
When I’m grown
When I’m grown
And will you and I be together forever?
If we could I think it would be better
Seems so much is left to the unknown
When you’re grown
I tried to learn from you right and wrong
But now my wisest friends are gone
And I’m alone with my doubt
Will I ever feel like I’ve figured it out?
If we all listen to our hearts, but we still disagree
Is there any kind of truth that will live inside of me
When I’m grown
When I’m grown
And will you and I be together forever?
If we could I think it would be better
Seems so much is left to the unknown
When you’re grown

Connie's Song
04:50

Just another sunny day
And my mind is far away
Getting lost
In the pages of something much more grand
Life comes and goes just like the waves
I sit and watch them but I crave
Some adventure, but will it find me
With my toes dug in the sand
‘Cause this world
Has no magic that I can see
So, won’t you run, have some fun
With me
Now you come along the shore
And it’s not too hard to ignore
Your shiny toys, silly boy
Just sit with me
You don’t need to make a show
It’s hard to break the ice I know
And I’m scared too
But what can you do?
(Chorus)
Now I can see the universe right in front of me
And this world
Is full of magic, that I can see
So let’s run, just have some fun
You and me

I’m gonna get out, you’ll see
I’m gonna get out, for me
You can keep running
But this time I won’t follow
I’ll let you do just what you do
I’m gonna see if it is true
See if it’s true that blood runs thicker than water
See if it’s true that blood runs thicker than water
And my heart is yellow and green
‘Cause what you are is a part of me
And I don’t know just what that means
Secrets, violence, power, honor
Mothers, fathers, scoundrels
Your eyes are a mirror to mine
And that hasn’t changed much through time
But your gaze
Never leads you in my direction
So, is your poison in my veins
And will I turn out just the same
Am I my own man or am I just a reflection?
Am I my own man or am I just a reflection?
(Chorus)
Now I’m standing on the edge of the road
And I understand what you told me
You burn enough bridges
The only way to move is
Forward
Love, hate, friendship, isolation
Secrets, violence
Sadness, madness, power, honor
Mothers, fathers, scoundrels

Lumps
02:40
|

Baby, I know you want my body
‘Cause it’s fine, so fine
Come on and join the party
You could be mine all mine
Come on and bump it up
Let’s bump it to my lumps
Come on and bump it up
Let’s bump it
Now, I know I’ve got what you want
I’ve got what you need
Feeling so fresh, so fresh to death
Satisfaction guaranteed
So pick me up ‘round nine and
Bring your flyest threads
Or I’m gonna catch a ride with another boy instead, oh!
(Chorus)
Before this night is over
I’ll have you on your knees
Meet me at my place
It’s just past the trees
I’m gonna show you what it’s all about
You know you can’t resist my vibe
Take my hand, be my man and we could
Have a good time
(Chorus)
Break it down now
Now take two steps forward
And three steps back
‘Cause I know I said I want you
But not like that
Now spin yourself around
And move it to the side
‘Cause I know I’m the hottest girl in town
But I’ve still got my pride
(Chorus)

Heart Still Beating
03:34
|
|||
Where do all the good ones go?
They all can’t be afraid of the snow
But I’m sitting here all alone
In this big old empty home
Got a real hot body
And a bunch of pets
Why won’t they call me
I’m a pretty good catch
But they keep running away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away from my love
And my heart’s still beating
Maybe you could change
And I’ll change too
You pretend to like knitting
I’ll have fun at the zoo
I could take you out
To a fancy place
And maybe make out
Over a couple of steaks (The way I know you like it)
(Chorus)
You’re acting crazy
I’m such a cool guy!
All the ladies want to date me
So, fine, goodbye
No, baby, come back!
We can work this out
Let’s get married
I’ve got no doubts
(Chorus)

Next Great Adventure
04:38
|
|||
Sometimes, man I feel so old
Right now, I feel like a little child
Some days, yeah I’m good as gold
But, lately all my memories are running wild
Sometimes, I dream I see your face
I beg forgiveness for all of my mistakes
Some lies are just so hard to take
Now, my whole life’s built on restitution
I’m waiting for the resolution
The next great adventure for me
And it would be okay
And it would be enough
If I knew you felt my love
Maybe, someday I’ll you there
We’ll board a train and head off anywhere
You will be with me and I will not be scared
Your joy will be my absolution
A beginning and a resolution
The next great adventure you and me
And it will be okay
And it will be enough
‘Cause I’ll know you feel my love
