Funny Girl
01:54

Ooh, what do you say
what do you say
Can I be your funny girl
can I be your precious
I fell into the mirror
when you appeared with my head in your arms
Ha ha ha ha
let's all go out and
try to keep it together
put on a straight face
I fell into the medicine cabinet
when you sold all of my secrets
I was only a stranger
when you took me to bed with you
Oh, what do you say?
What do you say
Sitting on the backs of your knees I
had everything that I needed
I fell into the medicine cabinet
when you sold all of my secrets
I fell backwards through time again
when you turned to me, then I said
Ooh, what do you say
what do you say?
Can I be your funny girl,
can I be your precious flower?

I Was Afraid
02:37

So you found yourself a new companion
you are still among my friends
Just hold this up to a different standard
we are not the same as them
Oh god, what a year it's been
Oh god, what the hell have I said?
Just look at us now,
I'm so sick
We're so sick and broken down
all the time
I was somewhere else
I was gone
For two weeks I was afraid, I was afraid
So you found yourself a new condition
upon which your soul will thrive
I'm gonna tell you something I've been thinking
just promise try not to cry
Oh god, what a ghost I've been
but all will soon be forgiven
Just go pour a drink
for me dear
would you please, I've had a day you won't believe
You were someone else
when you came
home last night, I was afraid, I was afraid
Oh, you never did me no good

Pulling Strings
02:30
|
|||
Anywhere I go
I will be there with you
Feather fall,
follow me
anywhere that I go
I get by
pulling strings
anytime you are gone
But it gets
so cold
but it gets so cold
Hold on,
my dear
I will be home so soon
But if I
fall away
I will see you someday
Easy come,
easy go
may we all find our love
When I see
you again
I will pour you a drink

I re-engage my center,
call myself back home
maybe you should try
something different
than that?
I pull myself together,
calm myself back down
I was different then
but now I'm
better
than that
How do you have your love?
Where do you keep your pleasure?
What's on your mind right now?
How do you keep it together?
May you find yourself in a place of peace
You will be there
sooner
than that
Suddenly you will find you are falling asleep
It was easy then
now it's
harder
than that
How do you have your love?
Where do you keep your pleasure?
What's on your mind right now?
How do you keep it together?
Where do you keep your love
How do you have your pleasure
What's on your mind right now?
How do you keep together?

Back Then
02:28
|
|||
One day you will fall down
and I will catch you
Back then was so much better
But you give us such pleasure
I wish I could show you
Someday you will feel better
The air's so different now
and we are connected
Someday you will find out

Sleep by the Ocean
02:44
|
|||
Somehow
We're growing cold now
Who let this in
This chill is killing us
I don't know where it came from
But we're not,
we're not alone now
just put on your headphones
This is our first and favorite song
would you hum it along with me my love
Feel like I've seen your face before
don't know where but I know for sure
Oh,
but all of the devils
just whisper to me now
but it hurts just the same as before
Oh,
the darkness grows
what if you said no?
What would I do if you said no to me,
what would I do?
He knows
where to
go when he gets lonely
to the house beyond the river
where she lives
Sleep by the ocean
we have no patience
for what we used
Sound of the ocean
it keeps us sleeping
past when we're supposed to

Ceiling Fan
01:52
|
|||
Honey are you still ok?
You look at the ceiling fan
say you want to leave this place
Funny how it all makes sense
dancing with a different man
then the sun goes away
Never was a thing you said
Your love was just such a drag
Honey are still ok?
You look at the ceiling fan
say you want to beat this thing
Funny how it all comes out
sitting in a different light
then the sun goes away

Flower Petals
01:54
|
|||
Who put all these rusty nails into my skin?
Who pressed all these flower petals into
my eyes
How long
Goodbye
Sorry
my thoughts
are dead
Shall I go on and tell the story from the end?
Or was it you who went and messed it up this time
I hope
no one
treats you
the way
you treat me
God save
your soul
I hope
you find
some peace

Arm Twister
04:25
|
|||
Just to think that
I could never
have the courtesy
Just to tell you
every now and then
to have a good time
You're my messenger
on a bicycle
in a storm
With your headlights
so bright they burn
my eyes
But if I could
fall backwards
I would follow you
To the end
of the earth and
I'd die with you there
But we both know
there's no going
back to
The way things were
back then
Arm twister,
back burner
you are not welcome here
Take it all out
in the yard and
burn it

Fall Right Over
01:23
|
|||
I fall right over,
Try not to lose myself
My life is ending
I always mess it up
