Poe

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

I wanna kill you
I wanna blow you...
Away!!

I can do it to you gently
I can do it with an animal's grace
I can do it with precision
I can do it with gourmet taste

But either way
Either, either way
I wanna kill you
I wanna blow you
Away

I can do it to your mind
I can do it to your face
I can do it with integrity
I can do it with disgrace

But either way...

I can do it in a church
I can do it any time or place
I can do it like an angel
To quiet down your rage

But either way...

I can do it in the water
I can do it on dry land
I can do it with instruments
I can do it with my own bare hands

But either way
Either way, you know where it stands
I wanna kill you
I wanna blow you
Away

Where'd your pleasure go
When the pain went through you
Where'd your happiness go
This force is running you around now
Getting you down now
Where's your pleasure now Johnny
Where has your pleasure gone now

Where'd my pleasure go
When the pain went through me
Where'd my happiness go
This force is running me around now
Getting me down now
Where's my pleasure now Johnny
Where has my pleasure gone now

I wanna kill you
I wanna blow you...
Away!!

I can do it to you gently
I can do it with an animal's grace
I can do it with precision
I can do it with gourmet taste

But either way
Either, either way
I wanna kill you
I wanna blow you
Away

I can do it to your mind

Where'd my pleasure go
When the pain went through me

This force is running me around now
Getting me down now
Where's my pleasure now Johnny
Where has my pleasure gone now

What's the crime, man
Caught in space
Nothing and everything is
Always always always

What's your hurry
What's the hurry
There's no need to drive yourself so crazy
Solar reaction, ruptures the skin
And the sky above is saying
The world is caving in
Don't worry, don't worry

Chorus:
Another world
Another time
Another place
Don't you worry, my baby

See you're afraid to make that change
Just close your eyes
Then let me explain it to you, it's easy
Oh so easy,
There's no need to drive yourself so crazy

Bypass those channels of your memory
Why don't you mute those crenvulses
And those frequencies, and don't worry
No don't worry, it's just living

Chorus

Drop everything
This must be the end of the world
This might be heaven or hell
Or it may just be another world
Or it may just be another world

Chorus

Another world
Another time

Someone's gotta hear this...

Beautiful girl,
you must've been a beautiful baby too
Beautiful woman,
you must've had your moments inside the sun
Beautiful girl

Beautiful stranger
Why do you have to walk with your head hung low
Beautiful girl

Your eyes are mockingbirds inside a guilded cage
Your life's a silent movie that I haven't heard for ages
Tell me everything, someone's gotta hear this
beautiful thing

Beautiful mother, frozen in ice
I've waiting for you to grow for my whole life
Beautiful girl

Your eyes are mockingbirds inside a guilded cage
Your life's a silent movie that I haven't heard for ages
Tell me everything, someone's gotta hear this
beautiful thing (so beautiful

I could see it out my window
That stupid sunshine and those trees
A voice in my head
It cuts me down in
I try to shut it up but I can't let it go, oh

It sounds a lot like you do
Always saying shit I know is not true
It sucks me in
It spits me out
I try to shut it up cause I must let it go

Hey man don't you know you're choking the cherry
Hey man don't you know me better than that
Sucking me in, spitting me out
One day I may just leave you far behind me

~ CHERRY ~
I can hear it in the hallway
It's out there laughing with its friends
~ CHERRY ~
It's a voice in my head
~ CHERRY ~
It cuts me down in
~ CHERRY ~
I try to shut it up but I must let it go, oh

It looks a lot like you do
~ CHERRY ~
It looks like a, I don't want to say it,
~ CHERRY ~
It sucks me in
~ CHERRY ~
It spits me out
~ CHERRY ~
I try to shut it up cause I must let it go

Hey man don't you know you're choking the cherry
Hey man don't you know me better then that
Sucking me in, spitting me out
One day I may just leave you far behind me

Hey man don't you know your choking the cherry
I'm frustrated, why don't you get off my back
Hey man don't you know your choking the cherry
Hey man you know I deserve better then that

~ (talking by poe)

One day I may just leave you far behind me

Hey man don't you know your choking the cherry
Hey man don't you know me better then that
Hey man don't you know your choking the cherry
Hey man don't you know me better then that
Hey man

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...

I'm so glad that you decided to come

Go ahead make yourself comfortable darlin'
I've got a proposition for you
There's a room available inside of my heart
And I hope it will be taken by you

You can bring whatever you wanna bring baby
Each and everyone of your friends
And if you want a dog or a big bullfrog
Hell I've even got room for them

I'm so glad you decided to come

Another day and I could've gone mad
Another day and it might've gotten bad
Another day and I might have betrayed
Every scruple I have

You cause in me an impossible craving
That cannot be denied
If I decided to make you my religion
I think God would be kind

So I made a wish on a million of her stars
And registered your name on a few
That way if you forget who you are
You can look up and see a picture of you

I'm so glad you decided to come

Another day and I could've gone mad
Another day and it might've gotten bad
Another day and I might have betrayed
Every scruple I have

I have to keep a hold of myself
Is that really you or is it someone else
I swear it looks just like him
I wonder can he see what a state I'm in
Like a broken bridge
I gotta swing on him like a jungle gym

Father: I've been inside her house
I've experienced her madness
And I rejected the entire experience

Another day and I could've gone mad
Another day and it might've gotten bad
Another day and I might have betrayed
Every scruple I have

Another day and I could've gone mad
Another day and it might've gotten bad
Another day and I might have betrayed
Every scruple

Johnny Dear,
Don't be afraid
I will keep your SECRET safe
Bring me to the blind man who
Lost you in his house of blue

There's a broken beam inside of the big big bridge
I guess that whole thing is caving in
Maybe it is time I learn how to swim
I'll be a dolphin
I'll be a dolphin

Sometimes I think I'm breaking down
And other times I think that I'm fine
But something got into my engine
It slowed me down
Now I gotta turn this whole thing around
I'm gonna be a dolphin
Gonna be a dolphin
I'm gonna be a dolphin
Gonna be a dolphin

There's not a lot I believe anymore
I mistrust everything I am longing for
And there's not a lot that I know anymore
But I know if a good bridge is burning

You gotta be a dolphin
You gotta be a dolphin
You gotta be a dolphin
You gotta be a dolphin

Sometimes I think you're crazy and sick
And other times I think you're so fine
But I know I'm in danger 'cause
You feel like a stranger
And I know that something's going to give

When I dive into that ocean
God I hope I don't sink like a stone-NO
Gonna move like a dolphin

May be a lot I don't know about you
But I know if I don't swim, I'm already drowning
'Cause a broken bridge
Is a broken bridge
So I swim to you now
Ohh...
Here I come
Ohh...
Here I come
Ohh...
Here I come
I'll be a dolphin

There's a broken beam inside of the big big bridge
I guess at this time I have to swim
I'll swim
I'll swim
I'll swim

Intro : call to mother

(Ring.)
(Ring.)
(Ring.)
Mother's anwering machine: HELLO. NOBODY'S HOME.
LEAVE A MESSAGE AFTER THE
BEEP, AND SOMEBODY'LL GET BACK TO YOU.
(Beep.)

I thought you should know
Daddy died today
He closed his eyes and he left here
At 12:03
He sends his love
He wanted you to know
He isn't holding a grudge
And if you are you should let go

(Speaking) Are you there? Pick up. Pick up,
please. Mom? Hello?

Your fingertips
Sometimes I feel it burning
That deep & primal yearning
I feel it burn, burn, burning
I try to live without it
But then I think about those fingertips,
Those fingertips, those fingertips
Anyone will do, anyone will do
Anyone will do, anyone will do
Could be you

It's in the way they move, and
They catch that simple groove, and
They tell a story all there own about the human heartalone
I try to get a grip but,
I find I always slip on fingertips
Those fingertips
Those fingertips

Anyone will do, anyone will do,
Could be you
Anyone will do, anyone will do,
Could be you

Sometimes I get so lonely
The time it passes so slowly
So, so, so, slowly

I know I'm just a fool 'cause
They're writing all the rules
Those fingertips
Those fingertips
Those fingertips

Anyone will do, anyone will do,
Could be you

Whoever, whoever you are
I got my light on
Whenever, wherever you can
I'll be there I swear

Whoever, whoever you are
I got my light on
Whenever, whenever you can
I'll be there I swear
I swear
Anyone will do, could be you
Anyone, anyone will do, could be you
Anyone will do,
Anyone will do, could be you

Whoever, whoever you are
I got my light on
Whenever, wherever you can
I'll be there I swear

Let it be me
Let me be your love...
(singing out

It makes sense that it should happen this way
That the sky should break
And the earth should shake
As if to say:
Sure it all matters but in such an unimportant
way
As if to say, hey

Fly away
Sweet bird of prey
Fly, fly away
Nothing can stand in your way
Sweet bird
If you knew the words
I know that you'd say fly
Fly away

It makes sense that it should hurt in this way
That my heart should break
And my hands should shake
As if to say:
Sure it don't matter except in the most important
way
As if to say:
Hey, fly away
Sweet bird of prey
Fly, fly away
I won't stand in your way
Sweet bird
If you knew the wordk I know that you'd say
Fly, fly away

It makes sense that it should feel this way
That you slowly fade
And yet still remain
As if to say:
Everything matters in such an invisible way
As if to say:
It's ok
Fly Away

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.)

M.O.D. are you out there?
I can't see your face
But you left a trace on a data back-road
That I almost erased
Not even God takes this long to get back
So get back
'Cause I hit a fork in the road
I lost my way home
I'm cut off from our main line
Like a disconnected modem

Hello
Tap in the code
I'll reach you below
No one should brave the underworld alone
Hello, hello, hello
How do I reach you?

Word has it on the wire
That you don't know who you are
Well if you could jack into my brain
You'd know exactly what you mean here
Mothers are trails on stars in the night
Fathers are black holes that suck up the light
That's the memory I filed on the fringe
Along with the memory of the pain you lived in
Hello

I don't have the password

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

Spanish schoolteacher: WELL, NOW AFTER ALL THAT
THINKING, WOULDN'T IT BE FINE IF
WE COULD TAKE A LITTLE TRIP? WE WILL DO IT. I
KNOW A GAME WE ALL LIKE TO PLAY
INSIDE LA CASA--THE HOUSE. WE WILL PLAY HIDE AND
SEEK.

Daughter:
I can hear myself; I'm somewhere in there....What's
happening? DADDY?

Mother:
Nobody's home...NOBODY'S HOME....

Father:
I thought he was dead

Daughter:
Where are you?

Father:
Dead.

(DAUGHTER CRYING.)
{Father: (soft) I WASN'T SURE IF I'M GOING
TO SURVIVE THIS HORROR....}

Brother: NO ONE SHOULD (fading) BRAVE THE
UNDERWORLD ALONE.

French song ("DOMINIQUE"):
Mother and Father:
Dominique, nique, nique
S'en allait tout simplement
Routier pauvre et chantant
En tous chemins, en tous lieux
Il ne parle que du bon Dieu
Il ne parle que du bon Dieu

Father:
Try now to take the next step.

(RING.)
Father:
You sing very well Annie.
(RING.)

Mother:
Hello? HELLO?

Daughter:
MOM?

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..

I know how to wear the costume
I know how to wear the mask
I even like the feel of having to ask
I like the sound of your whistle
I like the way you wear your grin
I even like the taste of my will caving in
I'm not a junkie for your love, I'm not a junkie
I'm not a junkie for your love, I'm not a junkie

Don't tell the captain
Don't you tell him what I've done
(Keep it coming)
(Keep it coming)
Stop

This is such a sweet collaboration
You've got the power, I got the shame
Funny thing is we both want somebody to blame
I'm not a junkie for your love, I'm not a junkie
I'm not a junkie for your love, I'm not a junkie

Don't tell the captain
Don't you tell him what I've done

(Keep it coming)
(Keep it coming)
I'm not a junkie for your love, I'm not a junkie
I'm not a junkie for your love, I'm not a junkie

I'm not a junkie for your love, I'm not a junkie
I'm not a junkie for your love, I'm not a junkie


Go tell the captain, won't you tell him what I've done

(man talking)
I call this song Lemon Meringue.
Hah, that was a bad joke, eh?
But this, this will be a good song.

Hold on, you gotta wait just a minute
See the cookie jar with my hand caught in it
Just let me try to explain
You know I've been a good girl but I've hit a limit
I know there's not a lot of logic in it
But my life's feeling to me

(like lemon)
Sometimes it tastes so bitter (lemon)
I gotta make it sweeter
Stop right there before I get bitter (bitter)
There's got to be a better way
There's got to be a way to make it sweeter (sweeter)
Little more like lemon meringue

So, the other day would of found me a lover
Had a little hussle down under the covers
It was delicious to me
Can't you see me there daydreaming of a future?
Oh my God, I painted such a pretty picture
My prince, he never got back to me

(like lemon)
Sometimes it tastes so bitter (lemon)
I gotta make it sweeter
Stop right there before I get bitter (bitter)
There's got to be a better way
There's got to be a way to make it sweeter (sweeter)
Little more like lemon meringue (like lemon)

Like lemon

Stop right there before I get bitter (bitter)
There's got to be a better way
There's got to be a way to make it sweeter (sweeter)
Little more like lemon meringue

Bitter, sweeter, like lemon
Sweeter, bitter, like lemon

There's got to be a way to make it sweeter (sweeter)
Little more like lemon meringue

I'm not a virgin anymore
I just thought you should know
Darlin', I been around
Yeah, I've been up and down your block
In fact, I have been all over town
Down by the lake
And underneath the table in my living room
Outside by the blue, blue moon

You can call me what you will
Call me a slut, call me a jaded pill
Darlin', I've got your number now
I'm not a virgin anymore

I've been taken
I've been hung up, I get down
And start it over again
I've been opened
I've been closed like a book
And burned out like a written sin
I just thought you should know, my darlin', before we begin
I'm not a virgin anymore
Just thought you should know

Before you let another lie get through your crooked little teeth
I don't think you wanna start that shit with me
Much better yet, tell me something dangerous and true
Oh yeah, that looks much sexier on you

Careful what it is you say
'Cause I can see right through you on a cloudy day
And darlin', I think you wanna play
I'm not a virgin anymore

I've been taken
I've been hung up, I get down
And start it over again
I've been opened
I've been closed like a book
And burned out like a written sin
So if you wanna play dirty, my darlin', I'm gonna win
I'm not a virgin anymore

Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh

Been there, done that, say what?
Get the hang of it
Guess who got screwed?
You
I had a whole lot of fun with it
I've had enough now
So you better take a bow
It's gonna be a new experience
If you wanna play with me

Daisy chains and Mary Janes
Fairy tales cannot fool me now

I just thought you should know
"Shut up, I tell you"
Yeah, right
Whatever, dude

Oh, I've been taken
I've been hung up, I get down
And start it over again
I've been opened
I've been closed like a book
And burned out like a written sin
Hell, I've been divided
Out of my mind and reinvented again
I've been ignited and then uninvited
So honey, you break it up, I'm gonna put it back together again
I just thought you should know, my darlin', before we begin
I'm not a virgin anymore

Oh, sir, I'm sorry
I'm sorry

Do you get the gist of the song now?

I'm sorry. The number you have reached has been disconnected.

Are you afraid of love,
Are you afraid of me,
Are you afraid of love,
Is that why you retreat,
Are you afraid of me?
Angel calling the angels here,
Angels calling the angels here,
Angels calling the angels here,
Are you an angel too? {...party has been disconnected.)
Are you,
'Cause I would love but nobody's home.

Are you (are you) afraid (afraid) of love (of love),
Are you (are you) afraid (afraid) of memory (of memory),
Are you afraid of what you cannot see,
Are you (are you) afraid (afraid) of love (of love),
Are you (are you) afraid (afraid) of me (of me),
Are you afraid of being free?

Angels calling the angels here,
(I'm sorry. This number has been disconnected.)
Angels calling the angels here,
Angels calling the angels here,
Are you an angel too?
Are you, (I'm sorry this number has been disconnected.)
'Cause I would love but nobody's home.

And some midnight when I'm howling at the moon,
It's midnight and I'm howling for you.
Are you afraid of love,
Are you afraid of love,
Angels calling the angels here,
Angels calling the angels here,
Angels calling the angels here,
'Cause I want love but nobody's home.

It's midnight...It's midnight...

This place feels so unfamiliar
And yet I know it well
I think I used to belong here
But the only way I can tell
Is that I miss you still
And I cannot find you here
You left me tattered and torn
Just like that sweet Spanish doll

(Sweet Spanish sweet Spanish... doll)

I went down to the alley way
(Sierra la Bonita )
And found that you were gone
(si nunca te fueras [if you never left])
You left no word no message
I still don't know exactly what went wrong
(lagrima [tear])
But now no matter where I go
I always seem to return
(buscame [look for me])
To where you left me tattered and torn
(estoy rompida mi muneca [I am broken my sweet doll])
Just like that sweet Spanish doll

(Sweet spanish sweet spanish...doll)

A memory gilded in red and gold
(de oro [of gold])
Beauty guarded and never sold
(cuidame [protect me])
I keep it with me wherever I go
And I love you still
(recuerdame [remember me])
No matter how a story will unfold
You know I always will
(esta conmigo [it is with me])
Have part of you here
In this souvenir - Spanish doll

A stranger in this world without you
Is all that I can ever be
All I know that's pure and clear
You left it with me here
In this souvenir

Spanish, Spanish, Spanish, Spanish
Doll

Father:
We hear of a lovely daughter, shot down in her mistaken flight, unaware yet of how her life will be affected by this experience.

Daughter:
How come it's a house of leaves?

I hear you in my head
All of the things that you said
I'm listening again and again
'Cause I never used to think of you as a friend

Now I hear it in my head (My head that)
That strange wind that cries
It wakes me up inside (Inside)
That strange wind that cries
It makes me feel alive
To see it in your eyes
That strange wind (Strange wind) that cries

Yeah I'm still here, thumbing through the book that you left
A hundred different symbols, I always wondered what they meant.
A circle, a jagged edge, a cross
Holding little bits of the truth
Whatever I may be hiding
I think that I could show it to you (To you)

When I hear it in my head (My head that)
That strange wind that cries
It wakes me up inside (Inside)
That strange wind that cries
It makes me feel alive
To see it in your eyes
That strange wind (Strange wind) that cries

Oh, I've got so much to tell you
I've been lonely, I've been wild
And when I see it in your eyes a wilder cry than even mine
I know something's hidden inside
Strange Wind That Cries

I hear you in my head

There it is again
That strange wind that cries
It breaks me up sometimes
That strange wind that cries
It makes me feel alive
To see it in your eyes

That strange wind (Strange wind)
That strange wind (Strange wind that)
Cries

I hear you in my head
All of the things that you said
I'll be keeping all your secrets 'till the end
'Cause I'm getting used to
Thinking of you as a friend

Strange wind

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.

Tommorrow's coming around a
hairpined curve in the road
she's got a run in her stocking
and she's missing the heel of her shoe

Got up this morning rolled out of bed
I spilled a diet coke
called my mother said,"Hi."
What I meant to say was," Why's your life a joke?"

Then I went down to that ugly bar
and I clicked my heels three times just like you said
and I climbed that road to your empty house
the anticipation was a turn on-
but you let me down

cause I stood on that empty stoop alone
I said,"I'm ready for my close up now Mr. Demille."
I waited for the light but it never shown

Well I wonder what you'll do
with that expensive piece of land
that overlooks a billion years of history
I have a sneaking suspicion you will never understand

Hey maybe I'll see you down by the rocky and bullwinkle
and we can talk to that Charlatan psychic
and she can paint a prettier picture
of your future

It's that day
in my life
that day
in my life
I dreamt tomorrow had a prettier face
I dreamt tomorrow would have better things to say
than,"You look like shit. What's your problem bitch?
Your legs feel like sandpaper you can't do anything right"
Cuz that day never should have taken place
This day in my life
Still cannot explain
why I listened in the first place
to you

Oh yeah something else
I hope one you call up your father
and you have the guts to tell him how he hurt you
and how he made you hurt another
cause it makes me sad

Tomorrow's coming around a
Hairpinned curve in the road
She's got a run in her stocking
And she's missing the heel of her shoe

Got up this morning rolled out of bed
I spilled a diet coke

Why I listened in the first place
To you

Oh yeah something else
I hope one day you call up your father
And you have the guts to tell him how he hurt you
And how he made you hurt another
'cause it makes me sad

Standing in the doorway
of my life in this house
Trying to find a way to get out
Looking for a sign
That I should open the door
This craziness is getting me down

But today is the day
we break free

Walking down the stairway
to the traffic below
Anything could happen
I know
But i'm sick of everybody
telling me what to do
I hear you
Hey but i already know

And today is the day
we break free


:L
It's clear in my mind
after all of this time
what i feel my love

there are so many times
that the sun doesn't shine
but I'm here my love

There are so many times
that the sun doesn't shine
but i'm here my love

and today is the day

Maybe I should wait
just a minute or two
It's getting cold now
I feel so insecure

The future is a mistress
that is so hard to please
and the past
is a pebble in my shoe

He scares easily
It makes him so... angry
At me

And his head it spins around
Just like the exorcist and I
Find it ever so
Hard to resist his cries

But there's nothing more sadistic than an infant
Waving his pistol in my face
He wants me right down on my knees
Crumbling in disgrace

But he underestimates my mind
I know he's messing with my head
My only weakness is
I can't believe the guy could be entirely dead

You can't talk to a psycho like a normal
human being
Can't talk to a psycho like a normal human being
Trigger Happy Jack you're gonna blow
But I'm gonna get off before you go
My Trigger Happy Jack is just a drive by
A Go-Go

And after a while he calms down
And he looks at me like a prince
But I know I better bite the bullet
'Cause it's just another one of his
Jedi mind tricks

Well this ain't no head trip honey
This is a collision on the road
And you've got me feeling oh just like a roadkill
But you know deep down I know

You can't talk to a psycho like a normal human
being
Can't talk to a psycho like a normal human being
Trigger Happy Jack you're gonna blow
But I'm gonna get off before you go
My Trigger Happy Jack is just a drive by
A Go-Go

Why do you make me feel like this?
Why do you gotta be such a dick?
(I feel like shit)
Go-Go

And I hate myself
Just enough to want him
And I hate him just enough to get off

But I understand him
Maybe I'm just crazy enough
To love him
Why not?
Why not

You can't talk to a psycho like a normal human
being
You can't talk to a psycho like a normal human

You can't talk to a psycho like a normal human

Uhhhhhh

He scares easily

Why do you make me feel like this? (1-2-3-4)
Why do you gotta be such a dick? (1-2-3-4)
Why do you make me feeling like this? (1-2-3-4)
Why do you gotta be such a dick? (1-2-3-4)
Go-go

And I hate myself
Just enough to want him

To love him
Why not? (Why not?)

You can't to a psycho like a normal human being...

He scares easily
It makes him so angry
At me

My mother spent 10 years sitting by a window
Scared if she spoke she would die of a heart attack
She listened as her dreams silently screamed
They drowned like little dolphins caught in a fishnet

Dear world i'm pleased to meet you

Hey everybody when you walk the walk
You gotta back it all up you gotta talk the talk
Hey everybody when I hear the knock
Don't wanna measure out my life to the tick of a clock

Hey everybody when my daddy died
He had a sad sad story written in his eyes
Hey everybody when you walk the walk
You cannot measure out your life to the tick of a clock

I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum
I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum
I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum
I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum

Hey everybody
When you walk the walk you gotta back it all up
But can you talk the talk
Hey everybody when I hear the knock
Don't want to measure out my life to the tick of a clock
Hey every Hey everbody

I wanna walk to the beat of my own drums
(Say what?)
I wanna walk to the beat of my own drums
(Say what?)
I wanna walk to the beat of my own drums
(Say what?)
I wanna walk to the beat of my own drums
(Say what?)

I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum
I wanna live to the beat of my own drum
I wanna laugh to the beat of my own drum
I wanna hang ten, high, say pleased to meet you
Take to the beat of my own drum
Give to the beat of my own drum
I wanna sing to the beat of my own drum

I wanna fly, (cry), win, (lose), live, (die), take five
Pleased to meet you

My daddy spent 10 years living on the outside looking in
He thought that he would never get back (hey get back)
Watched his dream walk across a silver screen
And he was standing there when the theatre went pitch black

Dear world I'm pleased to meet you

Hey everybody when I walk the walk
I gotta back it all up but can i talk the talk
Hey everybody when I hear the knock
Don't wanna measure out my life to the tick of a clock

Hey everybody (4x) --can you walk the walk?

I wanna walk to the beat of my own drums
(Say what?)
I wanna walk to the beat of my own drums
(Say what?)
I wanna walk to the beat of my own drums
(Say what?)
I wanna walk to the beat of my own drums
(Say what?)

I wanna live (play) to the beat of my own drum
I wanna laugh (sing) to the beat of my own drum
I wanna play (pray) to the beat of my own drum
I wanna hang ten, high, say pleased to meet you

I wanna screw up to the beat of my own drum
I wanna take it out of town and do it to my drum

Scream (shout) Wipe (out), win (loose), wipe (out)
Slumped down on the street making love to my baby
Make love to my baby

Father: It's a wonderful idea, but it doesn't work.

My own drum my own beat

Hey did you ever get the feeling that it's really a joke
You think you've got it figured out and then you find that you don't
So you say goodbye to the world and now you're floating in space
You got no sense of nothing not even a time or a place
Then suddenly you hear it it's the beat of your heart
And for the first time in your life you know your life is about to start

I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum

Daughter:
There's someone knocking in the wall, was it an echo? ba da pa pa

Wild, wild

I go wild, 'cause you break me open
Wild 'cause you left me here
I go wild 'cause your promises are broken

Wild because the chips are down
Wild because there isn't anybody else around
Wild when the waves start to break
And God knows they're breaking in me now
I go wild because it doesn't make sense
For me to cry out in my own defense
And wild because I would do anything
To tear you off your precious fence

So this is what it's like living in limbo
First I'm high, then I'm so low

I go wild 'cause you break me open
Wild 'cause you left me here
I go wild 'cause your promises are broken
Wild when I know you're near
I go wild
I go wild...

Tell me what you've come here for
Moving like a hunter through my back door
Leaving the perfume of all you adore
To die nameless on my floor
Yeah, well we both know that you don't play fair
I guess you really think that you'd get me there
Let's be honest, perhaps it's alright
It's too much for even you to bear

You've got some nerve to come back here
You're not the only one who can smell fear

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've 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'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.
