Relax

You wanna touch me
love me
rest your chest on my cheek
honey
I've been told I have a tender soul
but you're never gonna miss what you're never gonna know.
You don't wanna listen to me
unless I'm moaning on your sheets.
Well I am clever, much more clever than you
and I'm gonna keep doin what I wanna do.
I'll tell you one thing I don't-
I don't want to Relax
I don't want to take a seat
I don't want to Relax
you know you always seem so pleased
but I've seen how you treat my friends
and I know where you've been
so don't tell me Relax one more time.
Says a father to his son-
"Boy, don't be one of those sensitive ones"
He says, "Daddy, you're gonna have to change
because soon you'll be the one who's strange."
I don't want to Relax
I don't want to take a seat
I don't want to Relax
you know you always seem so pleased
but I've seen how you treat my friends
and I know where you've been
so don't tell me Relax one more time.

Wanderin'
03:33
|

|
I am wanderin, I am wanderin
and I’m thinking of you.
As I walk down this quiet road
I know you don’t think of me too.
Oh darlin, darlin you left my side
after I was untrue.
You said it hurt too bad to give me a chance
and you left to find someone new.
But I’ve seen you smile and I’ve felt just fine
since you left me
because love’s a freight train and we were an old line
heading to nowhere I see.
It might be I’m too young to know what loneliness is
but I think it’s all in your head-
so the clouds and the moon are my friends tonight.
I’ll walk with them instead.

We all become something other than what
we wanna be, in spite of us.
Too short, too tall.
The reason’s just keep stacking up
for all the disbelievers to get loud.
Fine time, to live.
And time’s a waisting
to truly live like there’s no tock to tick.
We all become something other than what
we wanna be, in spite of us.
And all those awful places
and all those ugly faces
you gotta stare down
to make the darkness go away,
suck the venom from the wound,
shine the light into the tomb.
We all become something other than what
we wanna be, in spite of us.
If you’re too low
to find what you want in life
then who’d even care if you tried?
We all become something other than what
we wanna be, in spite of us.

Lullabye One
01:43
|
|||
|
Hush now baby don’t you cry.
I can see that twinkle in your eye.
Hush now honey, don’t say a word.
Remember that life is absurd.
If you feel like you never can win
don’t look in.
Because you’re only a loser if you feel like you’re losing.

Barbara
05:35

|
There’ll be no funeral for Barbara today
or tomorrow, so please go away.
You may send us money to help bury the body
but there’ll be no funeral for Barbara today.
She would have liked if the kids gathered round
with her brothers and sisters too.
She would have liked to have shrimp cocktail and lemon pie,
but most of all she’d have preferred not to die.
If you’d seen her with her heart beating and red,
if you’d asked if there was something we should have said-
She’d go,
“Don’t say sorry to me.
Don’t say sorry to me.
Don’t say sorry to me.”
Before the dawn breaks, the hopeless run in place
and no one’s eyes will focus on their face.
They’ve been stuck inside for days and
we keep telling ourselves that it’s only a phase.
But if you’d seen them with their hearts beating and red,
if you’d asked if there was something we should have said-
they’d go,
“Don’t say sorry to me, just listen a little more.
Don’t say sorry to me, just believe me a little more.”

Hush now baby don’t you cry.
I can see that twinkle in your eye.
Hush now honey no need to wake,
the dawn is spinning round let’s wait for it to break.

Shy, Dry & Dreary
04:00
|
|||
|
Please don’t come runnin’ to me anymore
because I think I might like it if you did.
And I know you won’t mean it
the way that I do.
Or, if you did, I’d never know.
I’ve been shy, dry and dreary.
So, it’s time I try for me.
It’s time I try for me
and I better give up on you.
I hear sorry again.
And I wanted you to be my friend.
But it’s a contagious disease
and you need to break it off at the knees.
So I’m givin’ up on you.

Just A Cue
03:50
|
|||
|
Love to you
is just a cue
to fall right out of love again
when it’s no longer new.
Love to you
is just a cue
to break somebody’s heart again.
To break someone’s heart again.

Fantasize
03:23
|
|||
|
Don’t look me in the eye
‘cause if you did you’d realize
that I fantasize,
I fantasize about you.
You don’t know me very well
but if you did then you could tell
that I fantasize,
I fantasize about you.
I’m feelin up then I’m right back down
when I think of you but you’re not around.
When I got you in my head I got one thing to do-
I fantasize about you.
I know that you’re a smart boy
but all I want is a sexual toy.
So I fantasize about you.
I’m feelin up then I’m right back down
when I think of you but you’re not around.
When I got you in my head I got one thing to do-
I fantasize about you.

Waste Away
03:22
|
|||
|
It's been a long time
since you felt that feeling inside.
Since you ran dry-
now you're lonely again.
It's been years since you had your own bed-
since your thoughts were your own in your head.
You're reaching for anything you can
and right now it's me, me, me.
Well I could stay, I could stay
and waste away.
