Do I stress you out?
My sweater is on backwards and inside out And you say how appropriate I don't want to dissect everything today I don't mean to pick you apart you see But I can't help it There I go jumping before the gunshot has gone off Slap me with a splintered ruler And it would knock me to the floor if I wasn't there already If only I could hunt the hunter And all I really want is some patience A way to calm the angry voice And all I really want is deliverance Do I wear you out You must wonder why I'm relentless and all strung out I'm consumed by the chill of solitary I'm like Estella I like to reel it in and then spit it out I'm frustrated by your apathy And I am frightened by the corrupted ways of this land If only I could meet the Maker And I am fascinated by the spiritual man I am humbled by his humble nature What I wouldn't give to find a soulmate Someone else to catch this drift And what I wouldn't give to meet a kindred Enough about me, let's talk about you for a minute Enough about you, let's talk about life for a while The conflicts, the craziness and the sound of pretenses Falling all around..... all around Why are you so petrified of silence Here can you handle this? *SILENCE* Did you think about your bills, you ex, your deadlines Or when you think you're gonna die Or did you long for the next distraction And all I need now is intellectual intercourse A soul to dig the hole much deeper And I have no concept of time other than it is flying If only I could kill the killer And all I really want is some peace man A place to find a common ground And all I really want is a wavelength And all I really want is some comfort A way to get my hands untied And all I really want is some justice.... |

I want you to know that I'm happy for you
I wish nothing but the best for you both An older version of me Is she perverted like me Would she go down on you in a theatre Does she speak eloquently And would she have your baby I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother 'Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no And every time you speak her name Does she know that you told me you'd hold me Until you died, 'Till you died But you're still alive < Chorus > And I'm here to remind you Of the mess you left when you went away It's not fair to deny me Of the cross I bear that you gave to me You, you, you oughta know You seem very well, things look peaceful I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know Did you forget about me, Mr. Duplicity I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced Are you thinking of me when you fuck her 'Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no And every time you speak her name Does she know how you told me you'd hold me Until you died, 'Till you died But you're still alive Repeat Chorus 'Cause the joke that you laid on the bed that was me And I'm not gonna fade As soon as you close your eyes and you know it And every time I sratch my nails down someone else's back I hope you feel it ... well can you feel it Repeat Chorus |

Sometimes is never quite enough
If you're flawless, then you'll win my love Don't forget to win first place Don't forget to keep that smile on your face Be a good boy Try a little harder You've got to measure up And make me prouder How long before you screw it up How many times do I have to tell you to hurry up With everything I do for you The least you could do is keep quiet Be a good girl You've gotta try a little harder That simply wasn't good enough To make us proud I'll live through you I'll make you what I never was If you're the best, then mabye so am I Compared to him compared to her I'm doing this for your own damn good You'll make up for what I blew What's the problem.... why are you crying Be a good boy Push a little farther now That wasn't fast enough To make us happy We'll love you just the way you are if you're perfect |

Wait a minute man
You mispronounced my name You didn't wait for all the information Before you turned me away Wait a minute sir You kind of hurt my feelings You took me for a sweet backloaded puppet and you've got meal ticket taste < Chorus > I see right through you I know right through you I feel right through you I walk right through you You took me for a joke You took me for a child You took a long hard look at my ass And then played golf for a while Your shake is like a fish You pat me on the head You took me out to wine dine 69 me But didn't hear a damn word I said Repeat Chorus Hello Mr. Man You didn't think I'd come back You didn't think I'd show up with my army And this ammunition on my back Now that I'm Miss Thing Now that I'm a zillionaire You scan the credits for your name And wonder why it's not there Repeat Chorus |

You know how us Catholic girls can be
We make up for so much time a little too late I never forgot it, confusing as it was No fun with no guilt feelings The sinners, the saviours, the loverless priests I'll see you next Sunday < Chorus > We all had our reasons to be there We all had a thing or two to learn We all needed something to cling to So we did I sang Alleluia in the choir I confessed my darkest deeds to an envious man My brothers they never went blind for what they did But I may as well have In the name of the Father, the Skeptic and the Son I had one more stupid question Repeat Chorus What I learned I rejected but I believe again I will suffer the consequence of this inquisition And if I jump in this fountain, will I be forgiven Repeat Chorus We all had delusions in our head We all had our minds made up for us We had to believe in something So we did |

What's the matter Mary Jane, you had a hard day
As you place the don't disturb sign on the door You lost your place in line again, what a pity You never seem to want to dance anymore It's a long way down On this roller coaster The last chance streetcar Went off the track And you're on it. I hear you're counting sheep again Mary Jane What's the point of trying to dream anymore I hear you're losing weight again Mary Jane Do you ever wonder who you're losing it for Well it's full speed baby In the wrong direction There's a few more bruises If that's the way You insist on heading Please be honest Mary Jane Are you happy Please don't censor your tears You're the sweet crusader And you're on your way You're the last great innocent And that's why I love you So take this moment Mary Jane and be selfish Worry not about the cars that go by All that matters Mary Jane is your freedom Keep warm my dear, keep dry Tell me Tell me What's the matter Mary Jane |

And you're like a 90's Kennedy And you're really a million years old You can't fool me They'll throw opinions like rocks in riots And they'll stumble around like hypocrites Is it just me or is it dark in here? You may never be or have a husband You may never have or hold a child You will learn to lose everything We are temporary arrangements And you're like a 90's Noah And they laughed at you as you packed up all your things And they wonder why you're frustrated And they wonder why you're so angry Is it just me or are you fed up And God bless you in your travels and your conquests and queries |

we were shivering yet warmed by the subject matter my wife is in the next room we've been having troubles you know please don't tell her or anyone but I need to talk to somebody you said "wouldn't it be a shame if I knew how great I was five minutes before I died i'd be filled with such regret before I took my last breath" and I said "you're willing to tell me this now and you're not going to die any time soon" and I said I haven't been eating chicken or meat or anything and you said yes but you've been wearing leather and laughed and said we're at the top of the food chain and yes you're still a fine woman and I cringed I was hoping I was hoping we could heal each other I was hoping I was hoping we could be raw together we left the restaurant where the head waiter (in his 60's) said "good-bye sir thank you for your business sir you're successful and established sir and we like the frequency with which you dine here sir and your money" and when I walked by they said "thank you too dear" I was all pigtails and cords and there was a day when I would've said something like "hey dude I could buy and sell this place so kiss it" I too once thought I was owed something I was hoping I was hoping we could challenge each other I was hoping I was hoping we could crack each other up I too thought that when proved wrong I lost somehow I too once thought life was cruel it's a cycle really you think i'm withdrawing and guilt tripping you I think you're insensitive and I don't feel heard and I said do you believe we are fundamentally judgmental? fundamentally evil? and you said yes I said I don't believe in revenge in right or wrong good or bad you said "well what about the man that I saw handcuffed in the emergency room bleeding after beating his kid and she threw a shoe at his head. I think what he did was wrong and I would've had a hard time feeling compassion for him" I had to watch my tone for fear of having you feel judged.

These are the thoughts
That go through my head In my backyard On a Sunday afternoon When I have the house To myself and I am not Expending all that energy on fighting With my boyfriend Is he the one That I will marry Then why's it so hard To be objective about myself Why do I feel so cellulary alone Am I supposed to live in this crazy city Can blindly continued fear Induced regurgitated Life denying tradition Be overcome Where does the money go that I send To those in need if we have so much why do Some people have nothing still why do I feel frantic when I first Wake up in the morning Why do you say you are spiritual Yet you treat people like shit How can you say you're close to god And yet you talk behind my back as though I'm not a part of you Why do I say I'm fine when it's obvious I'm not Why's it so hard to tell you what I want Why can't you just read my mind Why do I fear the quieter I am The less you will listen Why do I care whether you like me or not Why's it so hard for me to be angry Why's it such work to stay concious and so Easy to get stuck and not the other way around Will I ever move back to Canada again I'd be with a lover with whom I am a student and a master Why am I encouraged to shut my mouth When it gets too close too home why can't I live In the moment |

do you go to the dungeon to find out how to make peace with your days
in the dungeon writing a letter to you didn't make me feel any more peaceful then how I felt when we weren't speaking because I didn't cop to what I did. I can't love you because we're supposed to have professional boundaries. i'd like you to be schooled and in awe as though you were kissed by god full on the lips . i'm in the front row the front row with popcorn I get to see you see you close up slid into the ditch I have this overwhelming loss of ambition we said let's name thirty good reasons why we shouldn't be together I started by saying things like "you smoke" "you live in new jersey you started saying things like "you belong to the world" all of which could have been easily refuted but the conversation was hypothetical I am totally short of breath for you why can't you shut your stuff off..... i'm in the front row the front row with popcorn I get to see you see you close up for a while i'm speaking you know how much you hate to be interrupted maybe spend some time alone fill up your proverbial cup so that it doesn't always have to be about you i've been wanting your undivided attention I like the fact that you're nothing like me are you not burdened by the lack of perspective people have of your charmed life (seemingly)? i'm in the front row the front row with popcorn I get to see you see you close up hey i'm not mad at you guardian i'm mad at myself for spending so much time with you and your jeckyl and hydeness i'm glad i figuratively slapped you on the wrist you laughed a wicked laugh and said "come here let me clip your wings!"(i know he's blood but you can still turn him away you don't owe him anything) "raise the roof" he yelled "yeah raise the roof!" I yelled back. (unfortunately you needed a health scare to reprioritize.) no thanks to the soap box. having me rile against them won't make an ounce of difference...... i'm in the front row the front row with popcorn. I get to see you see you close up |

i've seen them kneel
with baited breath for the ritual i've watched this experience raise them to pseudo higher levels i've watched them leave their families in pursuit of your nirvana i've seen them coming to line up from switzerland to america how long will this take baba how long have we been sleeping do you see me hanging on to every word you say how soon will I be holy how much will this cost guru how much longer 'til you completely absolve me i've seen them give their drugs up in place of makeshift altars i've heard them chanting kali kali frantically i've heard them rotely repeat your teachings with elitism i've seen them boasting robes and foreign sandalwood beads i've seen them overlooking god in their own essence i've seen their upward glances in hopes of instant salvation i've seen their righteousness mixed without loving compassion i've watched you smile as the students bow to kiss your feet give me strength all knowing one how long 'til enlightenment how much longer 'til you completely absolve me |

are you still mad I gave you ultimatums? are you still mad I compared you to all my forty year old male friends? are you still mad I shared our problems with everybody? are you still mad I had an emotional affair? are you still mad I tried to mold you into who I wanted you to be? are you still mad I didn't trust your intentions? of course you are of course you are are you still mad that I flirted wildly? are you still mad I had a tendency to mother you? are you still mad that I had one foot out of the door? are you still mad that we slept together even after we had ended it? of course you are of course you are are you still mad I wore the pants most of the time? are you still mad that I seemed to focus only on your potential? are you still mad that I threw in the towel? are you still mad that I gave up long before you did? of course you are of course you are |

you hadn't seen your father in such a long time
he died in the arms of his lover how dare he your mother never left the house she never married anyone else you took it upon yourself to console her you reminded her so much of your father so you were banished and you wonder why you're so hypersensitive and why you can't trust anyone but us but then how can I begin to forgive her so many years under bridges with dirty water she was foolish and selfish and cowardly if you ask me I don't know where to begin in all of my 50 odd years I have been silently suffering and adapting perpetuating and enduring who are you younger generation to tell me that I have unresolved problems not many examples of fruits of this type of excruciating labour how can you just throw words around like grieve and heal and mourn I feel fine we may not have been born as awake as you were it was much harder in those days we had paper routes uphill both ways we went from school to a job to a wife to instant parenthood I walked into his office I felt so self-conscious on the couch he was sitting down across from me he was writing down his hypothesis I don't know i've got a loving supportive wife who doesn't know how involved she should get you say his interjecting was him just calling me on my shit? just the other day my sweet daughter I was driving past 203 I walked up the stairs in my mind's eye I remember how they would creak loudly she was only responsive with a drink he was only responsive by photo I was only trying to be the best big brother I could i've walked sometimes confused sometimes ready to crack open wide sometimes indignant sometimes raw can you imagine I pay him 75 dollars an hour sometimes it feels like highway robbery and sometimes it's peanuts I wish it could last a couple more hours so here we both are battling similar demons (not coincidentally) you see n getting beyond knowing it solely intellectually you're not relinquishing your majestry you are wise you are warm you are courageous you are big and I love you more now than I ever have in my whole life |

as we were talking outside it was cold
we were shivering yet warmed by the subject matter my wife is in the next room we've been having troubles you know please don't tell her or anyone but I need to talk to somebody you said "wouldn't it be a shame if I knew how great I was five minutes before I died i'd be filled with such regret before I took my last breath" and I said "you're willing to tell me this now and you're not going to die any time soon" and I said I haven't been eating chicken or meat or anything and you said yes but you've been wearing leather and laughed and said we're at the top of the food chain and yes you're a fine woman and I cringed I was hoping I was hoping we could heal each other I was hoping I was hoping we could be raw together we left the restaurant where the head waiter (in his 60's) said "good- bye sir thank you for your business sir you're successful and established sir and we like the frequency with which you dine here sir and your money" and when I walked by they said "thank you too dear" I was all pigtails and cords and there was a day when I would've said something like "hey dude I could buy and sell this place so kiss it" I too once thought I was owed something I was hoping I was hoping we could challenge each other I was hoping I was hoping we could crack each other up I too thought that when proved wrong I lost somehow I too once thought life was cruel it's a cycle really you think i'm withdrawing and guilt tripping you I think you're insensitive and I don't feel heard and I said do you believe we are fundamentally judgmental? fundamentally evil? and you said yes I said I don't believe in revenge in right or wrong good or bad you said "well what about that man that I saw handcuffed in the emergency room bleeding after beating his kid and she threw a shoe at his head. I think what he did was wrong and I would've had a hard time feeling compassion for him" I had to watch my tone for fear of having you feel judged. I was hoping I was hoping we could dance together I was hoping I was hoping we could be creamy together |

dear matthew I like you a lot
I realize you're in a relationship with someone right now and I respect that I would like you to know that if you're ever single in the future and you want to come visit me in california I would be open to spending time with you and finding out how old you were when you wrote your first song dear jonathan I liked you too much I used to be attracted to boys who would lie to me and think solely about themselves and you were plenty self-destructive for my taste at the time I used to say the more tragic the better the truth is whenever I think of the early 90's your face comes up with a vengeance like it was yesterday dear terrance I love you muchly you've been nothing but open hearted and emotionally available and supportive and nurturing and consummately there for me I kept drawing you in and pushing you away I remember how beautiful it was to fall asleep on your couch and cry in front of you for the first time you were the best platform from which to jump beyond myself what was wrong with me dear marcus you rocked my world you had a charismatic way about you with the women and you got me seriously thinking about spirituality and you wouldn't let me get away with kicking my own ass but I could never really feel relaxed and looked out for around you though and that stopped us from going any further than we did and it's kinda too bad coz becasue we could've had much more fun dear lou we learned so much I realize we won't be able to talk for some time and I understand that as I do you the long distance thing was the hardest and we did as well as we could we were together during a very tumultuous time in our lives I will always have your back and be curious about you about your career about your whereabouts |

Dear Darlin,
Your mom, my friend Left a message on my machine She was frantic Saying you were talking crazy. That you wanted to do away with yourself. Guess she thought I would be the perfect resort Because we've had this inexplicable connection since our youth And yes, they're in shock They are panicked You and your chronic Them and their drama You this embarassment Us in the middle of this delusion. If we were our bodies, If we were our futures, If we were our defenses, I'd be joining you. If we were our culture, If we were our leaders, If we were our denials, I'd be joining you. I remember vividly a day years ago, We were camping. You knew more than you thought you should know. You said "I don't want ever to be brainwashed" And you were mindboggling, you were intense. You were uncomfortable in your own skin. You were thirsty, But mostly you were beautiful. If we were our nametags, If we were our rejections, If we were our outcomes, I'd be joining you. If we were our indignities, If we were our successes, If we were our emotions, I'd be joining you. You and I, we're like four year olds. We want to know why, and how come about everything. We want to reveal ourselves at will, and speak our minds. And never talk small talk and be intuitive, And question mightily, and find God my tortured beacon. We need to find like-minded companions. If we were their condemnations, If we were their projections, If we were our paranoias, I'd be joining you. If we were our incomes, If we were our obsessions, If we were our afflictions, I'd be joining you. We need a reflection, We need a really good memory. Feel free to call me a little more often. |

so much of myself for fear of having you hating me I would've sung so loudly it would've cracked myself! I became self-conscious of anything exuberant I wouldn't have sold myself short I wouldn't have kept my eyes glued to the ground if I had've known my invisibility would not make a difference I would've run around screaming proudly at the top of my voice I wouldn't have said it was in fact luck i'm talking idealism here I would not have been so self deprecating I wouldn't have cowered for fear of having my eyes scratched out! I wouldn't have cut my comfort off I wouldn't have feigned needlessness I would not have discredited every one of their compliments it was your approval I wanted your congratulations |

Fourteen years thirty minutes fifteen seconds I've held this grudge Eleven songs four full journals thoughts of punishment I've expended Not in contact not a letter such communication telepathic you've been vilified used as fodder you deserve a piece of every record But who's it hurting now? Who's the one that's stuck? Who's it torturing now with an antique knot in her stomach? I want to be big and let go of this grudge that's grown old all this time I've not known how to rest this bygone I wanna be soft and resolved clean of slate and released I wanna forgive for the both of us Like an abandoned house dusty covered furniture still intact If I visit it now will I simply re-live it somehow gratuitous But who's still aching now? Who's tired of her own voice? Who is it weighing down With no gift from time of said healing I want to be big and let go of this grudge that's grown old all this time I've not known how to rest this bygone I wanna be soft and resolved clean of slate and released I wanna forgive for the both of us Maybe as I cut the cord veils will lift from my eyes Maybe as I lay this to rest dead weight off my shoulders will rise Here I sit much determined ever ill-equipped to draw this curtain how this has entertained validated and has served me well ever the victim But who's done whining now? Who's ready to put down this load I've carried longer than I had cared to remember I want to be big and let go of this grudge that's grown old For the life of me I've not known how to rest this bygone I wanna be soft and resolved clean of slate and released I wanna forgive for the both of us I want to be big and let go of this grudge that's grown old For the life of me I've not known how to rest this bygone I wanna be soft and resolved clean of slate and released I wanna forgive for the both of us |

I can be an asshole of the grandest kind
I can withhold like it's going out of style I can be the moodiest baby, and you've never met anyone Who is as negative as I am sometimes I am the wisest woman you've ever met I am the kindest soul with whom you've connected I have the bravest heart that you've ever seen, and you've never met anyone Who is as positive as I am sometimes You see everything, you see every part You see all my light and you love my dark You dig everything of which I'm ashamed There's not anything to which you can't relate And you're still here I blame everyone else, not my own partaking My passive aggressiveness can be devastating I'm terrified and mistrusting and you've never met anyone Who is as closed down as I am sometimes You see everything, you see every part You see all my light and you love my dark You dig everything of which I'm ashamed There's not anything to which you can't relate And you're still here What I resist, persists, and speaks louder than I know What I resist, you love, no matter how low or high I go I'm the funniest woman that you've ever known I am the dullest woman that you've ever known I'm the most gorgeous woman that you've ever known, and you've never met anyone Who is as everything as I am sometimes You see everything, you see every part You see all my light and you love my dark You dig everything of which I'm ashamed There's not anything to which you can't relate And you're still here |

Do I stress you out
My sweater is on backwards and inside out And you say how appropriate I don't want to dissect everything today I don't mean to pick you apart you see But I can't help it And there I go jumping before the gunshot has gone off Slap me with a splintered ruler And it would knock me to the floor if I wasn't there already If only I could hunt the hunter And all I really want is some patience A way to calm the angry voice And all I really want is deliverance Do I wear you out You must wonder why I'm relentless and all strung out I'm consumed by the chill of solitary I'm like Estella I like to reel it in and then spit it out I'm frustrated by your apathy And I am frightened by the corrupted ways of this land If only I could meet the Maker And I am fascinated by the spiritual man I'm humbled by his humble nature And what I wouldn't give to find a soul-mate Someone else to catch this drift And what I wouldn't give to meet a kindred Enough about me, let's talk about you for a minute Enough about you, let's talk about life for a while The conflicts, the craziness and the sound of pretenses Falling all around...all around Why are you so petrified of silence Here can you handle this? Did you think about your bills, your ex, your deadlines Or when you think you're gonna die Or did you long for the next distraction And all I need now is intellectual intercourse A soul to dig the hole much deeper And I have no concept of time other than it is flying If only I could kill the killer And all I really want is some peace man A place to find a common ground And all I really want is a wavelength And all I really want is some comfort A way to get my hands untied And all I really want is some justice... |

I want you to know
That I'm happy for you I wish nothing but the best for you both An older version of me? Is she perverted like me? Would she go down on you in a theater? Does she speak eloquently? And would she have your baby? I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother 'Cause the love that you gave That we made Wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no And every time you speak her name Does she know how you told me you'd hold me until you died 'Til you died But you're still alive And I'm here To remind you Of the mess you left when you went away It's not fair To deny me Of the cross I bear - that you gave to me You, you, you oughta know You seem very well Things look peaceful I'm not quite as well I thought you should know Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity? I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner It was a slap in the face How quickly I was replaced And are you thinking of me when you fuck her? 'Cause the love that you gave That we made Wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no And every time you speak her name Does she know how you told me you'd hold me until you died 'Til you died But you're still alive And I'm here To remind you Of the mess you left when you went away It's not fair To deny me Of the cross I bear - that you gave to me You, you, you oughta know 'Cause the joke that you laid in the bed that was me And I'm not gonna fade as soon as you close your eyes And you know it And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back I hope you feel it Oh, can you feel it? Well, I'm here To remind you Of the mess you left when you went away It's not fair To deny me Of the cross I bear - that you gave to me You, you, you oughta know why I'm here: To remind you Of the mess you left when you went away It's not fair To deny me Of the cross I bear - that you gave to me You, you, you oughta know |

Sometimes is never quite enough
If you're flawless, then you'll win my love Don't forget to win first place Don't forget to keep that smile on your face Be a good boy Try a little harder You've got to measure up And make me prouder How long before you screw it up How many times do I have to tell you to hurry up With everything I do for you The least you can do is keep quiet Be a good girl You've gotta try a little harder That simply wasn't good enough To make us proud I'll live through you I'll make you what I never was If you're the best, then maybe so am I Compared to him compared to her I'm doing this for your own damn good You'll make up for what I blew What's the problem...why are you crying Be a good boy Push a little farther now That wasn't fast enough To make us happy We'll love you just the way you are if you're perfect |

You know how us Catholic girls can be
We make up for so much time a little too late I never forgot it, confusing as it was No fun with no guilt feelings The sinners, the saviors, the loverless priests I'll see you next Sunday We all had our reasons to be there We all had a thing or two to learn We all needed something to cling to So we did I sang Alleluia in the choir I confessed my darkest deeds to an envious man My brothers they never went blind for what they did But I may as well have In the name of the Father, the Skeptic and the Son I had one more stupid question We all had our reasons to be there We all had a thing or two to learn We all needed something to cling to So we did What I learned I rejected but I believe again I will suffer the consequences of this inquisition If I jump in this fountain, will I be forgiven We all had our reasons to be there We all had a thing or two to learn We all needed something to cling to So we did We all had delusions in our head We all had our minds made up for us We had to believe in something So we did |

As you place the don't disturb sign on the door You lost your place in line again, what a pity You never seem to want to dance anymore It's a long way down On this roller coaster The last chance streetcar Went off the track And you're on it I hear you're counting sheep again Mary Jane What's the point of tryin' to dream anymore I hear you're losing weight again Mary Jane Do you ever wonder who you're losing it for Well it's full speed baby In the wrong direction There's a few more bruises If that's the way You insist on heading Please be honest Mary Jane Are you happy Please don't censor your tears You're the sweet crusader And you're on your way You're the last great innocent And that's why I love you So take this moment Mary Jane and be selfish Worry not about the cars that go by All that matters Mary Jane is your freedom So keep warm my dear, keep dry Tell me Tell me What's the matter Mary Jane...

He won the lottery and died the next day It's a black fly in your Chardonnay It's a death row pardon two minutes too late Isn't it ironic, don't you think? It's like rain on your wedding day It's a free ride when you've already paid It's the good advice that you just didn't take And who would've thought it, it figures Mr. Play-It-Safe was afraid to fly He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye He waited his whole damn life to take that flight And as the plane crashed down he thought "Well isn't this nice" And isn't it ironic, don't you think? It's like rain on your wedding day It's a free ride when you've already paid It's the good advice that you just didn't take And who would've thought it, it figures Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you When you think everything's okay and everything's going right And life has a funny way of helping you out when You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up in your face A traffic jam when you're already late A "No Smoking" sign on your cigarette break It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife It's meeting the man of my dreams, and then meeting his beautiful wife And isn't it ironic, don't you think? A little too ironic, and yeah I really do think It's like rain on your wedding day It's a free ride when you've already paid It's the good advice that you just didn't take And who would've thought it, it figures Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out Helping you out |

He won the lottery and died the next day It's a black fly in your Chardonnay It's a death row pardon two minutes too late Isn't it ironic, don't you think? It's like rain on your wedding day It's a free ride when you've already paid It's the good advice that you just didn't take And who would've thought it, it figures Mr. Play-It-Safe was afraid to fly He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye He waited his whole damn life to take that flight And as the plane crashed down he thought "Well isn't this nice" And isn't it ironic, don't you think? It's like rain on your wedding day It's a free ride when you've already paid It's the good advice that you just didn't take And who would've thought it, it figures Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you When you think everything's okay and everything's going right And life has a funny way of helping you out when You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up in your face A traffic jam when you're already late A "No Smoking" sign on your cigarette break It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife It's meeting the man of my dreams, and then meeting his beautiful wife And isn't it ironic, don't you think? A little too ironic, and yeah I really do think It's like rain on your wedding day It's a free ride when you've already paid It's the good advice that you just didn't take And who would've thought it, it figures Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out Helping you out |

I want you to know
That I'm happy for you I wish nothing but the best for you both An older version of me? Is she perverted like me? Would she go down on you in a theater? Does she speak eloquently? And would she have your baby? I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother 'Cause the love that you gave That we made Wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no And every time you speak her name Does she know how you told me you'd hold me until you died 'Til you died But you're still alive And I'm here To remind you Of the mess you left when you went away It's not fair To deny me Of the cross I bear - that you gave to me You, you, you oughta know You seem very well Things look peaceful I'm not quite as well I thought you should know Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity? I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner It was a slap in the face How quickly I was replaced And are you thinking of me when you fuck her? 'Cause the love that you gave That we made Wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no And every time you speak her name Does she know how you told me you'd hold me until you died 'Til you died But you're still alive And I'm here To remind you Of the mess you left when you went away It's not fair To deny me Of the cross I bear - that you gave to me You, you, you oughta know 'Cause the joke that you laid in the bed that was me And I'm not gonna fade as soon as you close your eyes And you know it And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back I hope you feel it Oh, can you feel it? Well, I'm here To remind you Of the mess you left when you went away It's not fair To deny me Of the cross I bear - that you gave to me You, you, you oughta know why I'm here: To remind you Of the mess you left when you went away It's not fair To deny me Of the cross I bear - that you gave to me You, you, you oughta know |

What's the matter Mary Jane, had a hard day
As you place the don't disturb sign on the door You lost your place in line again, what a pity You never seem to want to dance anymore It's a long way down On this roller coaster The last chance streetcar Went off the track And you're on it I hear you're counting sheep again Mary Jane What's the point of tryin' to dream anymore I hear you're losing weight again Mary Jane Do you ever wonder who you're losing it for Well it's full speed baby In the wrong direction There's a few more bruises If that's the way You insist on heading Please be honest Mary Jane Are you happy Please don't censor your tears You're the sweet crusader And you're on your way You're the last great innocent And that's why I love you So take this moment Mary Jane and be selfish Worry not about the cars that go by All that matters Mary Jane is your freedom So keep warm my dear, keep dry Tell me Tell me What's the matter Mary Jane... Tell me Tell me Please be honest Mary Jane... Tell me |

Do I stress you out
My sweater is on backwards and inside out And you say how appropriate I don't want to dissect everything today I don't mean to pick you apart you see But I can't help it And there I go jumping before the gunshot has gone off Slap me with a splintered ruler And it would knock me to the floor if I wasn't there already If only I could hunt the hunter And all I really want is some patience A way to calm the angry voice And all I really want is deliverance Do I wear you out You must wonder why I'm relentless and all strung out I'm consumed by the chill of solitary I'm like Estella I like to reel it in and then spit it out I'm frustrated by your apathy And I am frightened by the corrupted ways of this land If only I could meet the Maker And I am fascinated by the spiritual man I'm humbled by his humble nature And what I wouldn't give to find a soul-mate Someone else to catch this drift And what I wouldn't give to meet a kindred Enough about me, let's talk about you for a minute Enough about you, let's talk about life for a while The conflicts, the craziness and the sound of pretenses Falling all around...all around Why are you so petrified of silence Here can you handle this? Did you think about your bills, your ex, your deadlines Or when you think you're gonna die Or did you long for the next distraction And all I need now is intellectual intercourse A soul to dig the hole much deeper And I have no concept of time other than it is flying If only I could kill the killer And all I really want is some peace man A place to find a common ground And all I really want is a wavelength And all I really want is some comfort A way to get my hands untied And all I really want is some justice... |

Visiting hours are 9 to 5 and if I show up at 10 past 6 Well I already know that you'd find some way to sneak me in and oh Mind the empty bottle with the holes along the bottom You see it's too much to ask for and I am not the doctor |

Walked up the stairs I opened your door without ringing the bell I walked down the hall Into your room Where I could smell you And I Shouldn't be here Without permission Shouldn't be here Would you forgive me love If I danced in your shower Would you forgive me love If I laid in your bed Would you forgive me love If I stay all afternoon I took off my clothes Put on your robe Went through your drawers and I found your cologne Went down to the den Found your CD's And I played your Joni And I Shouldn't stay long You might be home soon I Shouldn't stay long Would you forgive me love If I danced in your shower Would you forgive me love If I laid in your bed Would you forgive me love If I stay all afternoon I burned your incense I ran a bath I noticed a letter that sat on your desk It said hello love I love you so love Meet me at midnight And no It wasn't my writing I better go soon It wasn't my writing So forgive me love If I cry in your shower So forgive me love For the salt in your bed So forgive me love If I cry all afternoon |

(I'd like to slap you but I'd never slap you) Between violence and silently seething Between my fist and my Pollyanna flower Between "fuck you" to your face and it's alright Between war and denial (repeat) Between flying vases and secretly weeping Between loose cannons and ever downplaying Between bruises and rudely differing Between bursting and boiling What am I to do with all this burning?

Give thanks for the murders of Chris Columbus We kill our own and we vote for the men The lesser of evils and us starring the role of victim I wonder how we change if we can in this land I wonder how many mountains we'd move if we bent together Us priveleged Americans We pass our revisions onto the next generation We kneel to the Gods of corporation We eat when we're full and we hoard all the rest With our hands on remotes we say "Yes, We're the best" I wonder what we change in this land, cause we can Even with western centricity this rampant Us ugly Americans Tired are not my hands But see strangers and enemies as part of me, is real. For me this awakening Canadian We teach our offspring for themselves, every man We shrug shoulders and create yet another -ism We dissuade our young from using their imagination We avert our eyes from this our very own manifestation I wonder what will change in this land, cause we can I wonder how many mouths we'd fill if we band together Us awakening Americans |

My misery has enjoyed company
and although I have ached I don't threaten anybody sometimes I feel more bigness than I've shared with you sometimes I wonder why I quell when I'm not required to I've tried to be small I've tried to be stunted I've tried roadblocks and all my happy endings prevented sometimes I feel it's all just too big to be true I sabotage myself for fear of what my bigness could do fear of bliss and fear of joyitude fear of bigness (and ensuing solitude?) I could be golden I could be glowing I could be freedom but that could be boring sometimes I feel this is too scary to be true I sabotage myself for fear of losing you this talk of liberation makes me want to go lie down under the covers til the terror of the unknown is gone I could be full I could be thriving I could be shining sounds isolating sometimes I feel this is too good to be true I sabotage myself for fear of what my joy could do |

It seems to some we famously get along But you and me are strangers to each other 'Cause you and me: competitive to the bone Such tragedy to trample on each other With how much we've endured With the state this land is in And you and me feel join-ed by only gender We are not all for one and one for all Sister blister we fight to please the brothers We think their acceptance is how we win They're happy we're climbing over each other To beg the club of boys to let us in You and me estrange-ed from the mother You and me have felt impotent in our skin You and me have taken it out on each other You and me disloyal to the feminine Such a pity to disavow each other With how far we've come With how strong we've been And you and me are on this pendulum together And you and me with scarcity still fueling Sister blister we fight to please the brothers We think their acceptance is how we win They're happy we're climbing over each other To beg the club of boys to let us in We may not have priorities same We may not even like each other We may not be hugely anti-men But such a cost to dishonor a sister You and me have made it harder for the other We forget how hard separatism has been You and me we can help change their minds together You and me in alignment until the end Sister blister we fight to please the brothers We think their acceptance is how we win They're happy we're climbing over each other To beg the club of boys to let us in Sister blister we fight to please the brothers We think their acceptance is how we win They're happy we're climbing over each other To beg the club of boys to let us in |

You'll rescue me right?
In the exact same way they never did. I'll be happy right? When your healing powers kick in You'll complete me right? Then my life can finally begin I'll be worthy right? Only when you realize the gem I am? But this won't work now the way it once did And I won't keep it up even though I would love to Once I know who I'm not then I'll know who I am But I know I won't keep on playing the victim These precious illusions in my head Did not let me down when I was defenseless And parting with them is like parting with invisible best friends This ring will help me yet As will you knight in shining armor This pill will help me yet As will these boys gone through like water But this won't work as well as the way it once did 'Cause I want to decide between survival and bliss And though I know who I'm not I still don't know who I am But I know I won't keep on playing the victim These precious illusions in my head Did not let me down when I was a kid And parting with them is like parting with a childhood best friend I've spent so long firmly looking outside me I've spent so much time living in survival mode But this won't work now the way it once did 'Cause I want to decide between survival and bliss And though I know who I'm not I still don't know who I am But I know I won't keep on playing the victim These precious illusions in my head Did not let me down when I was defenseless And parting with them is like parting with invisible best friends These precious illusions in my head Did not let me down when I was a kid And parting with them is like parting with a childhood best friend |

If it weren't for your maturity
None of this would have happened If you weren't so wise beyond your years I would've been able to control myself If it weren't for my attention You wouldn't have been successful, and If it weren't for me You would never have amounted to very much Ooh this could be messy, but You don't seem to mind Ooh don't go telling everybody, and Overlook this supposed crime We'll fast-forward to a few years later No one knows except the both of us And I have honored your request for silence And you've washed your hands clean of this You're essentially an employee And I like you having to depend on me You're a kind of protégé And one day you'll say you learned all you know from me, and I know you depend on me Like a young thing would to a guardian I know how you sexualize me Like a young thing would and I think I like it Ooh this could get messy, but Ooh, you don't seem to mind Ooh, don't go telling everybody And overlook this supposed crime We'll fast-forward to a few years later No one knows except the both of us I've more than honored your request for silence And you've washed your hands clean of this What part of our history's reinvented and under rug swept? What part of your memory is selective and tends to forget? What with this distance it seems so obvious? Just make sure you don't tell on me Especially to members of your family We best keep this to ourselves And not tell any members of our inner posse I wish I could tell the world 'Cause you're such a pretty thing when you're done-up properly I might want to marry you one day If you'd watch that weight and keep your firm body Ooh this could be messy Ooh I don't seem to mind Ooh don't go telling everybody And overlook this supposed crime We'll fast-forward to a few years later No one knows except the both of us And I have honored your request for silence And you've washed your hands clean of this |

Who
Who am I to be blue Look at my family and fortune Look at my friends and my house Who Who am I to feel dead and Who am I to feel spent Look at my health and my money And where Where do I go to feel good Why do I still look outside me When clearly I've seen it won't work Is it my calling to keep on when I'm unable Is it my job to be selfless extraordinaire My generosity has me disabled By this my sense of duty to offer Why Why do I feel so ungrateful Me who is far beyond survival Me who's seen life as an oyster Is it my calling to keep on when I'm unable Is it my job to be selfless extraordinaire My generosity has me disabled By this my sense of duty to offer And how How dare I rest on my laurels How dare I ignore an outstretched hand How dare I ignore a third world country Is it my calling to keep on when I'm unable Is it my job to be selfless extraordinaire My generosity has me disabled By this my sense of duty to offer Who who am I to be blue |

I can be an asshole of the grandest kind
I can withhold like it's going out of style I can be the moodiest baby, and you've never met anyone Who is as negative as I am sometimes I am the wisest woman you've ever met I am the kindest soul with whom you've connected I have the bravest heart that you've ever seen, and you've never met anyone Who is as positive as I am sometimes You see everything, you see every part You see all my light and you love my dark You dig everything of which I'm ashamed There's not anything to which you can't relate And you're still here I blame everyone else, not my own partaking My passive aggressiveness can be devastating I'm terrified and mistrusting and you've never met anyone Who is as closed down as I am sometimes You see everything, you see every part You see all my light and you love my dark You dig everything of which I'm ashamed There's not anything to which you can't relate And you're still here What I resist, persists, and speaks louder than I know What I resist, you love, no matter how low or high I go I'm the funniest woman that you've ever known I am the dullest woman that you've ever known I'm the most gorgeous woman that you've ever known, and you've never met anyone Who is as everything as I am sometimes You see everything, you see every part You see all my light and you love my dark You dig everything of which I'm ashamed There's not anything to which you can't relate And you're still here |

Oh these little rejections
How they add up quickly One small sideways look And I feel so ungood Somewhere along the way I think I gave you the power to make Me feel the way I thought Only my father could Oh these little rejections How they seem so real to me One forgotten birthday I'm all but cooked How these little abandonments Seem to sting so easily I'm 13 again Am I 13 for good? I can feel so unsexy for someone so beautiful So unloved for someone so fine I can feel so boring for someone so interesting So ignorant for someone of sound mind Oh these little protections How they fail to serve me One forgotten phone call And I'm deflated Oh these little defenses How they fail to comfort me Your hand pulling away And I'm devastated I can feel so unsexy for someone so beautiful So unloved and for someone so fine I can feel so boring for someone so interesting So ignorant for someone of sound mind When will I stop leaving baby? When will I stop deserting baby? When will I start staying with myself? Oh these little projections How they keep springing from me I jump my ship as I take it personally Oh these little rejections How they disappear quickly The moment I decide not to abandon me I can feel so unsexy for someone so beautiful So unloved and for someone so fine I can feel so boring for someone so interesting So ignorant for someone of sound mind I can feel so unsexy for someone so beautiful So unloved and for someone so fine I can feel so boring for someone so interesting So ignorant for someone of sound mind |
