Ba da pa pa ba da pa pa... (x10)
Come here Pretty please Can you tell me where I am? You Won't you say something? I need to get my bearings I'm lost And the shadows keep on changing And I'm haunted By the lives that I have loved And actions I have hated Ba da pa pa I'm haunted By the lives that wove the web Inside my haunted head Ba da pa pa ba da pa pa... (x6) Don't cry There's always a way Here in November in this house of leaves We'll pray Please, I know it's hard to believe To see a perfect forest Through so many splintered trees You and me And these shadows keep on changing And I'm haunted By the lives that I have loved And actions I have hated Ba da pa pa I'm haunted By the promises I've made And others I have broken, I We're haunted By the lives that wove the web Inside my haunted head Hallways... always... I'll always want you I'll always need you I'll always love you And I will always miss you, ah... (Ba da pa pa ba da pa pa...) (x3) Ba da pa pa ba da pa pa... (x3) Come here No I won't say please One more look at the ghost Before I'm gonna make it leave Come here I got the pieces here Time to gather up the splinters Build a casket for my tears I'm haunted (By the lives that I have loved) I'm hau... I'm haunted By the hallways in this tiny room The echo there of me and you The voices that are carrying this tune Ba da pa pa... (x12, to fade) (Father: What is it, Annie?) (Daughter: You think I'll cry? I won't cry! My heart will break before I cry!) (Daughter: I will go mad.) |

Don't, you mess,
With a little girl's dream. 'Cause she's liable to grow up, Mean. Surprise you to find that I'm laughing? You thought that you'd find me in tears. You thought I'd be crawling, The walls like a tiny mosquito, And trembling in fear. Well, you may be king for the moment, But I am a queen understand, And I've got your pawns and your bishops and, Castles, All inside the palm of my hand. While you were looking the other way, While you had your eyes closed. While you were licking your lips, 'Cause I was miserable. While you were selling your soul. While you were tearing a hole, In me. I was taking control. Now I have taken control. (I have... control...) Now I have taken control. (I have... control...) Now I have taken control. Control... This is beginning to feel good, Watching you squirm in your shoes, A small bead of sweat on your brow, And a growl in your belly, You're scared to let through. You thought you could keep me from loving, You thought you could feed on my soul. But while you were busy destroying my life, What was half in me has become whole. While you were looking the other way. While you had your eyes closed. While you were licking your lips, 'Cause I was miserable. While you were selling your soul. While you were tearing a hole, In me. I was taking control Now I have taken control. (I have... control...) Now I have taken control. (I have... control...) Now I have taken control. Control... So this is how it feels, To breathe in the summer air. To feel the sand between my toes, And love inside my ear. All those things, you taught me to fear, I've got them in my garden now and, You're not welcome here. Come here. Come a little bit closer... Let me look at you. I gave you the benefit of the doubt it's true, But keep in mind my darling, Not every saint is a fool! (Don't) While you were looking the other way, (you mess) While you had your eyes closed. (with me) While you were licking your lips, 'Cause I was miserable. (Don't) While you were selling your soul (you mess) While you were tearing a hole, In me. (I was taking control) Now I have taken control. (I was taking control) Now I have taken control. (control) Control... (Control) Control... Don't you mess with me. (Spoken) This cannot be all that there is to life, Because, in our confrontation, with, An enormous and cold, universe. There is something comical, to the idea That we can really enforce our will, on humanity. Power, corrupts. It's your world, do with it what you want! No, that's not the way to do it. Power...That's not the way to do it. Paradox No It's your world No It's your world No It's your world NO! Control it! Control it! (This is scaring me... I live at the end of a 5 and 1/2 minute hallway I live at the end of a 5 and 1/2 minute hallway) At the end of it all lies of course the final phenomenon of deterioration Entropy Which is a predictable deterioration when the creative energy ceases... |

A terrible thought has moved into my mind
Like an unwanted room-mate drunk on wine It feeds on my unhappiness, won't pay the rent I must take proper measures to evict it A terrible thought has moved into my mind A giant rat that's nibbling on my pride It's tearing away my patience and my wits I must take proper measures to set a trap for it What a terrible thought I don't care what you've done I don't care who you've won I know in the end, you have your fun But you can't have it here And I won't let you steer You know I don't want you in my mind What a terrible thought What a terrible, terrible thought I must stay calm you know and I must be clear It's gonna take a hundred thoughts to make this one disappear A train like that can travel a soul for years A terrible thought can have a terribly long career What minds have you shredded I bet they regretted Having ever thought you up Just look at you shine Committing your crimes You know I don't want you in my mind 'Cause you're breaking my stride You poisonous vine You're strangling me inside You're breaking my stride You poisonous vine You're strangling me inside You're breaking my stride What a terrible thought... (Father: What is your greatest worry because you seem to be worried all the time.) (Daughter: Sometimes I can't hear myself think.) (Father: You have to speak a little louder, I can't understand a word you're saying.) (Daughter: Sometimes I can't hear myself think) |

Hello.
Nobody's home. Leave a message after the beep and somebody will get back to you. (beep) Mom? You there? You sleeping? I'm so bummed. (sigh) I'm just going to sing a little song and maybe... maybe you'll pick up. Sometimes I'm terrified of my heart of its constant hunger for whatever it wants... Sometimes I'm terrified of my heart The way it stops... And starts. |

You wrote the rules to try and contain me You broke them now, you'll haven't tamed me And I'm wild I go wild Tell me what you've come here for What is it you adore, won't you tell me? What would you cry for? Swallow your pride for? What would you, oh, go wild for? You've got a lot of nerve to come back here Speak up now, darling, I have been waiting I go wild 'cause you break me open Wild 'cause you left me here I go wild 'cause your promises are broken Wild, don't you get it dear? You're not the only one who runs on instincts No, I got instincts of my own You got a lot of nerve to come back Plan your attack, and I am still waiting Did you want something? You wrote the rules to try and contain me You broke them now, you haven't tamed me And I'm wild... Oh, oh, oh... Wild... Tell me what you've come for... I go wild... Like a hunter... Tell me what you've come for... (come back here) La da da da da da Like a hunter... Communication is not just words. Communication is architecture. Because of course it is quite obvious That a house which would be built without the sense, Without that desire for communication Would not look the way your house looks today. |

Well it's 3 am I'm out here riding again
Through the wicked, winding streets of my world I make a wrong turn, break it Now i'm too far gone I've got a siren on my tail And that ain't the fine I'm lookin for I see a stairway so I follow it down Into the belly of a whale where my secrets echo all around You know me now, but to do better than that You got to follow me Boy I'm trying to show you where I'm at Hey pretty, don't you wanna take a ride with me Through my world Hey pretty, don't you wanna kick and slide Through my world Well I got a mind full of wicked designs I got a non-stop hole in my head-imagination I'm in a building that has 2000 floors And when they all fall down I think you know it's you they're fallin for I can't forget I am my sole architect I built the shadows here I built the growlin voice I fear You add it up, but to do better than that You got to follow me Boy I'm trying to show you where i'm at Hey pretty, don't you wanna take a ride with me Through my world Hey pretty, don't you wanna kick and slide Through my world Hey pretty, my pretty baby Rock it through my world Hey pretty, my pretty baby Rock it through my world Hey now can't you feel me longing (do you get the gist of this song now) Hey now can't you feel me Feel me Hey pretty, hey pretty, hey pretty baby Don't you wanna take a ride with me Don't you wanna take a ride with me My baby Don't you wanna take a ride with me My pretty baby My baby Don't you wanna Rock it through my world Don't you wanna take a ride with me My baby Don't you wanna My baby Don't you wanna take a ride with me |

It's amazing to me,
I can't seem to say what I'm doing here, My tounge is all twisted around the air, I'm looking for words that were so well rehearsed, But I can't find them anywhere. With you, there's no easy answer it's true, You change the equation I add up to, And all of the things that I thought I knew, You turn it around... I'm amazed, When push comes to shove what I'd give to you- Everything. I'm amazed, The hallways I wouldn't mind crawling through, And I'd do it for days and for days. I'm amazed, I'm amazed, I'm amazed, I'm amazed, The places you're taking me to. Wait, I thought I had this down. I built all my cages and my hideout. And I, I covered all my bases, I locked the door, I shut all my windows, But you, you're creeping like a whisper it's true, I try not to listen, yeah, but I hear you. I'm not really sure just what it is you do, But do it again... I'm amazed, When push comes to shove what I'd give to you- Everything. I'm amazed, The walls that I wouldn't mind crashing through, And I'd do it for days and for days. I'm amazed, I'm amazed, I'm amazed, I'm amazed. And all of the things I know you have done, This time I think that we've really won. The tables have turned, Now I'm taking my hat off to you. Said we'll see... Darling it's all clear to me. I'm amazed... And here in the foyer the hallway is small I don't really think it's a hallway at all It's a maze Johnny your suitcase was finally received She's packed up her things and she's ready to leave It's amazing All of the ink that was bled from your hands Has painted a picture that she understands It's amazing And here by the ocean the sky's full of leaves And what they can tell you depends on what you believe The ash is a tree and the voices were three And all that is gone is here sweeping through me It's amazing It's a maze The voice of my father still loud as before It used to scare me but not anymore It's a maze |

Father: What is it, Annie?
Daughter: I miss you. If you were here I know that you would truly be amazed At whats become of what you made If you were here You would know how I treasure every day How every single word you spoke Echoes in me like a memory of hope When you were here You could not feel the value that I placed On every look that crossed your face When you were here I did not know just how I embraced All that you hid behide you face Could not hide from me 'cause it hid in me too Father: How are you, Tiger? It's great fun, talking with you like this. In fact, I'm going to do it more often. Now that I'm here, I hear you And wonder if maybe you can hear yourself Father: *laughs* Ringing in me now that you're somewhere else Father: I miss you a lot. 'cause I hear your strange music gentle and true Father: I'm sharing with you some of my reflections. Singing inside me with The best parts of you Now that I'm here Father: But I'm so proud of everything you do there, I love you most. I hope somewhere you hear them too Father: Next time I see you you'll proudly sing it back to me. Now that I'm here-- I LOVE you .... It's okay.. you can go now.. |
