Angie Aparo

I am a cutting tool
I am a killing fool
And one day you, you're gonna be mine
I am a dirt machine
And I will wipe clean
This jungle vine

I am a burning ash
I am burning for cash
And one day you, you're gonna be mine
I am a dirt machine
And I will wipe clean
This jungle vine
I'll rip her from the sky
There'll be no more timber line

We are
Turning green into gold
We are
Ripping roots from the soil

I am the wall of pain
And I will damn the rain
And one day you, you're gonna be mine
I am a dirt machine
And I will wipe clean
This jungle vine
I'll rip her from the sky

When you gonna grow up
Momma always said
Are you gonna walk around with a silly grin
And a bubble on your head
A spaceship landed by the mall
There was a big parade
Everybody got laid
And they burned all the books and the Chevrolets
They grow so fast they never crawl


If you get tired of satellite flyers
And fame has let you down
Under the wire and over the moon
I'm around


When you gonna grow up
Momma always said
But I just wanna walk around with a dollar bill
And a coat that never sheds
A spaceship landed on the water
It was a holiday
For the underpaid
Everybody got a haircut and lemonade
And they smiled just like it was their father


Play me a groove one for my radio one for my love
That came and went
So many stories, hey man I'm sorry.
Joe, this is just a song to pay the rent


...When you gonna grow up

She got it all
The boys they would crawl
Away from her door then they come back again
But don't let 'em in
Smoking their gin
Leaving their best foot out in the cold
I'm a waste of a momma's boy
It's a shame they say
There's so much you know he'll never enjoy
All the love you come to destroy


There's a moment lost in time
When she says hush
I'm on your side
It's just the two of us
You know that I
You know I'll never say goodbye


She smiles for me
It don't mean a thing
It don't take away the way it was before
I'm foolish and grown
I should've known
Her's was a world made for just one throne
I'm a waste of a momma's boy
It's a shame they say
There's so much you know he'll never enjoy
All the love you come to destroy


How many days can you waste it boy
It's a shame they say
There's so much you know he'll never enjoy
All the love we come to destroy


There's a moment lost in time
When she says hush
I'm on your side
It's just the two of us
Though they might try

If I had just one tear running down your cheek
Maybe I could cope maybe I'd get some sleep
If I had just one moment at your expense
Maybe all my misery would be well spent


Could you cry a little
Lie just a little
Pretend that you're feeling a little more pain
I gave now I'm wanting
Something in return
So cry just a little for me


If your love could be caged, honey. I would hold the key
And conceal it underneath that pile of lies you handed me
And you'd hunt and those lies
They'd be all you'd ever find
And that'd be all you'd have to know
For me to be fine


And you'd cry a little
You'd die just a little
And baby I would feel just a little less pain
I gave now from wanting
Something in return
So cry just a little for me


Give it up baby
A whimper would be fine
Some kind of clue that
You're doing time
Some kind of heartache
Honey give it a try
I don't want pity
I just want what is mine

He came from Ohio
Married the first girl again
And somewhere in Reno
In his El Camino he never did see her again
No world can look like it did before
But this one comes pretty close
To the swinging door


One time's a shame
Two times and you're to blame
And you lose your precious crown
The Third Time Around


This ain't no freeway
You pay for it someday - I guess
He came from Ohio
Another day another stain on your map of regret
No world can look like it did before
But this one comes pretty close to the swinging door


And you get no sleep and you're overdue
The faithful creep when they're leaving you
And you wonder why


One time's a shame
Two time and it looks like rain
And they say your luck is found
The Third Time Around

Hey wouldn't you wanna know
Everywhere that river flows to right now
I can show you how
'Cause someday you might wanna go
Someday you got nothing to show
For all your pain
For all your chains
I ain't saying it's the only way
But wouldn't you like to know


How if feels to live
Like a free man
To give
When there's nothing in your hand
Run like only the river can
Like a free man


You've only so many roads to choose
Sooner or later the ones you use
They all look the same
Someday you might feel the need
Someday when you're tired of bleeding
For someone else
You're gonna want it for yourself
I ain't saying it's the only way
But wouldn't you like to know

I saw a wreck at a light
Two cars that gave up the fight
Nobody left to be saved
No steam left under the gauge
And in that carnival light
The show began to unwind
And I saw just how it goes
Out on that old two-lane road


I been saving time for another life
Maybe happiness is coming but you don't know when
When...


The Gravity
Of whether you were meant for me
Came crashing down with sovereignty
In someone else's tragedy


I saw the old man again
He only talks about when
There was so much to believe
Before the cancer to be
He can't remember the song
The words they all come out wrong
And all his records are cracked
He knows you can't get it back


It's only faded time
Maybe happiness is coming but you don't know when
When...


The Gravity
Of whether you were meant for me
Came crashing like a symphony
In someone else's used to be


And we carried our cross like a clover
And we smoked cigarettes and we lied
About the things we would feel when we're older
Oh God what a fine waste of time
And I miss you are you coming over

I saw a wreck at a light

I am a song
I been here all along
I'll be here when the hatred's gone
Hey can you recognize me
I am the light of the Sun


And if you come with me
And if you let it be (on my way back home)
And sing my melody
Then it don't have to wash away
In a Memphis City Rain


For the world a long time awaiting
For the hatred now to be fading
For the love to give


I am a Song
But I'm not the one
They use to march their guns
And every child knows me
I am the light of the Son

Only Virginia so very kind
All of her anyway that you desire
Only Virginia so crucified
And all of her dying keeps her alive


And swell
Made up for everyone else
Happy and horribly well
The girl with her soul on a shelf


Only Virginia knows how to bleed
All of her giving never comes free
Only Virginia so desperately
Wanting the whole world watching her misery


Swell
Made up for everyone else
Happy and horribly well


Hello misunderstood so go the lonely
Tracing your ashes to wood
So go the lonely
And you are the only

Maybe I'm a baby with a mouth to feed
Maybe I'm a cancer waiting to eat
Maybe I'm a razor on a wrist to bleed
Maybe only water or a bucket of kerosene


It's alright
We are landing this ship soon
It's alright
No more trips around the moon


Momma does the dishes in her wedding ring
Daddy never wishes now for anything
Sister on the corner like a boy's wet dream
All little bit of hell in a bucket of velveteen

Take a piece of the sky
Make it rain cherry wine
Give her love
Give her life
Give her mine

She's a child
Young and willing
In a world that's unforgiving
That in time
Takes all the living from your soul


I stand in the night with a silver sword
Killing her demons beating them off her door
Sleep baby don't you cry
Daddy's got a worn out lullaby
And I'd live forever dark and damned
To see you spend one minute, girl... in Wonderland


She can run
Free forever
Still our blood... blood runs us together
And I'll be there
If she runs home
For worse or better


I know you like Adam knew Eve
Every tear you cry is a tear that I will bleed
Sleep baby don't you cry
Daddy's got a worn out lullaby
And I'd live forever dark and damned
To see you spend one minute, girl... in Wonderland


And I'd live forever dark and damned
If I could see you spend one minute baby... in Wonderland

I don't want to put on my make-up
Just like every girl in a magazine
That's not who I am when I wake up
That's not who I want to be
There's so much more to me

That meets the eye
It's in life
I know what thing

It doesn't really matter
What you wear
Let the people stare
'Cause we are who we are
Who we are, who we are

It doesn't really matter
What car you drive
It's good to be alive
'Cause we are who we are
Who we are, who we are

Tell me baby
Do I look like the real thing?
Would you change the color of my eyes?
Tell me
Why my television's filling me with lies?

It doesn't really matter
What you wear
Let the people stare
'Cause we are who we are
Who we are, who we are

It doesn't really matter
What car you drive
It's good to be alive
'Cause we are who we are
Who we are, who we are

There's beauty on the inside
And so beautiful, whoa, whoa
Yeah, yeah, yeah

It doesn't really matter
What you wear
Let the people stare
'Cause we are who we are
Who we are, who we are

It doesn't really matter
What car you drive
It's good to be alive
'Cause we are who we are
Who we are, who we are

It doesn't really matter
What you wear
Let the people stare
'Cause we are who we are
Who we are, who we are

It doesn't really matter
What car you drive
It's good to be alive
'Cause we are who we are
Who we are, who we are
