ALL MINE

How does it feel when they come at you, run to you, hypnotized?
As I stand here in your corner, watching them stare, flutter their eyes.
How does it feel, to be so gorgeous, It must feel like you're on stage
As all girls they gather round you, laugh at everything say?

Tell me that no matter who adores you, no matter who she is walking by

(C’mon &) please tell me, that no matter what you see
All you see is me, you’re-all-mine, you’re all mine

It's no surprise, they get tongue-tied, fallin' limp in your laugh
Oh believe me, I have been there, when I see you, I still get butterflies

Oooh…

So I’ll be cool and I’ll pretend, that I’m OK, I’m alright.. (come on)
Give me a little somethin’, blow me a kiss,
remind me that you’re comin’ home with me tonight

Please tell me that no matter what you see, all you see is me.

BETTER REASON

You twist my arm and you kissed my lips
and I got so sucked into this… stupid me
You left me high and dry and too pissed off to even cry
Leaving me your baggage and your bills
Everything is festering, the crap you left behind
For me to swallow just like bitter little pills
I’m starting to get pissed…

You better have a better reason
For dumping me and walking out the door
When I ask you why the only thing that you can say is…
I don’t love you anymore (I don’t love you)

Seven years of all of this and now you say you have the itch
To run away from me and start again
Is there another woman, another little boy
Something else you found, a brand new shiny little toy?
Now I’m really getting pissed…

You better have a better reason
For dumping me and walking out the door
When I ask you why the only thing that you can say is…
I don’t love you anymore I don’t love you anymore…

All the bullshit finally crept into the bed right where you slept
So now it reeks of all your ugly ways
And suddenly your selfishness is surfacing with all the rest
Of all the things about you that I hate… (Build Vocals)

I couldn’t have a better reason
For dumping you and walking out the door
And when you ask me why the only thing I’ll say to you is…
I don’t love you, I don’t love you, anymore

BARBIE DOLL

I will run your race, if you dish it I can take it
But I won’t lick the bottom of your shoe
I will hold on tight, and believe me I will fight
But there’s certain things I just won’t do

You may have a formula a diet for my mind
But why should I be listening to you?
Who gave you the right to be the ruler of my life?

You’re not my God, you’re not my teacher
What gives you the right to be my keeper?

I am a believer in myself you’re a deceiver and I’ve felt
your power poisoning my mind
I see your soul-sucking shame on you for cornering
the innocent and feeding them your lines

We may be little fish but we know how to swim
So you should not be trying to make us fly

Don’t waste your breath feeding me words I won’t ingest
Don’t point your finger in my face
I won’t be your barbie doll, your teddy bear your little ball
of clay that you can bend and mold and break

You may try to smother me but I’ve learned from my mother
there are certain things you just can’t take away

COMING UNDONE

Strip off the ends of me, where I’m calloused
Come on look inside
Reach in, find a piece of me, hold on, pull til I unwind

Take me from the tip of my tongue
Unravel me make me unravel

Turn me, upside down
Spread me out until I come…

Until I come, until I come, until I come…undone

Can you feel my veins tangled up in you
Can you see me all exposed
Red and blue I’m bleeding into you
Untwist my heart til I explode

Take me from the tip of my tongue
Unravel me until I’m spinnin’

Turn me, upside down
Spread me out until I come…

Until I come, until I come, until I come…undone

I’m coming, I’m coming

Take me from the tip of my tongue
Unravel me until I’m spinnin’

Turn me, upside down
Spread me out until I come…

Take me, make me come…
Make me, make me, come…undone

CRUELLA DEVILLE

I know you think I’m the villian,
That I am Cruella deVille
But you haven’t heard my side of the story, and I don’t think that you will
Cause you like livin’ in lala land
Where everything’s pink and white
You want to put your head in the sand & pretend that everything is alright

Call me the villian, call me a witch
I know no matter what you will
And if it makes you feel better baby
Call me Cruella DeVille

Hurting you hasn’t been easy,
Feeling you start to sink
Watching you cry I sit idly by
Isn’t as fun as you think
And I don’t like being accused
by you and your army of friends
Circling me like crocodiles
Hating me over and over again…

---

DRIVEN

Hold on my love to the tail of my soul,
as I drag you through hell on my heels
Don’t look behind you and promise me,
you’ll imagine just how it feels…

I am consumed and feeling marooned
on an island haunted by angels
Whispering into the depth of my soul
to drive through the danger

So I go, cause it’s all that I know
I’ve got to run to the beat of my drum, let me go

Cause I’m driven please say I’m forgiven
For bringing you down, but I can’t turn around
Cause I’ve got this drive, I’ve got this drive,
I’ve got this drive

I race for the line, trying to find,
the place where the earth meets the sky
But I’m chasing the moon, it constantly moves,
and I’m watching my life pass me by
And I sweat, and I lose, and I cry
And I laugh, and I learn, and I fight

Can’t you see I’m bent, making a dent, ready to jump
I’m ready to dance, so ready or not, here I come
Are you willing to wait, it’s just a matter of time
I’m so close, so close, so close to the finish line…

---

FACE ME

You haunt me and you taunt me
You slither in and out of everywhere
And you tease me, before you leave me
Standing stranded with your souvenirs

You elude me and you lie to me I know it
You lead me on again and take me for a ride

Face me, stop running away, You’re gonna break me if ya keep making me beg
Face me, don’t make me, stop making me, stop making me, beg

You seduce me and you use me
And you tell me what you think I want to hear

You only see me when you need me
Then you conveniently make me disappear…leave me here

You gotta face me, you gotta deal
You gotta treat me like I’m real
You’re making me crazy, you’re making me weak
You’re making me beg and I’m beginning to think, that you’re never gonna
Face me and be true
And see how bad I’m into you
C’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon, don’t make me beg

Face me, take me, embrace me, stop running away, you’re gonna
Break me, if you don’t face me, stop taking me for granted stop making me crawl, Stop making me feel so small, don’t make me beg

HELD HOSTAGE

Why do you get to decide what stays and what goes
Sneaking around like a burglar in my lover’s clothes

Who are you now but my jury, my judge
As you weed through my life like a garden, digging up the mud
Held hostage, my fate is in your hands
Held hostage, at your mercy I stand

You were always such a politician, so why am I surprised
That when you divided my heart into pieces, you’re selling each slice

Making me feel like a beggar, as a grope for what’s mine
Why are you nailing me down, tell me why, tell me why…
Under the bed like a bad dream,
I seek but I can’t find…
(Hungry for some kind of hand-out, waiting in line)
(And I’ve become a prisoner of your heart, locked inside)
(Seeking some kind of redemption I know I’ll never find)

Held hostage, my fate is in your hands
Held hostage, at your mercy—at your mercy

I’m waiting for you to decide… what is mine
And I’m hoping that you might come back, and hold me, hold me…

But I’m chained to the rules you have spoken, that I have to obey
Cause I can’t move, and I can’t breathe, without your OK

So I’ve become your voodoo doll, with your magic and pins
Sticking me down like a bug in your box of old worn-out things

---

INHALE

I know it hurts in hell
And you want back out where you can breathe
But you’re down and you’re trapped inside a cage
Where the air is scarce and there is no key
And you want to get back to the playground
But you can hear the angels call your name...
Calling your name...

Inhale, exhale,
Take a breath take another little step
Inhale, exhale,
Breathe in...

Here comes the cowboy, Joe cool,
Here comes the camouflage
Here comes the devil in a fancy dress
And he takes your hand ‘cause he wants to dance
And he’ll kiss your lips ‘til they turn to ash...
Can’t you hear the angels start to cry... starting to cry

Can you hear the angels coming,
Can you hear them call your name
Can you hear the angels crying,
Can you hear them scream, can you hear them scream...


1,147 people die each day because of cigarettes.
I'm sure you're aware that the surgeon general and the American Medical Association estimate that cigarettes kill over 400,000 smokers every year.
Cigarettes are the single most dangerous consumer product ever sold.

IF I ONLY KNEW

If I only knew what you were thinkin’

But somehow you got me sittin’ here drinkin’

Last night’s wine

It’s complicated and I know you’re right,

And baby believe me I don’t want to fight

We just need a little time

If I only knew what to do,

If I only knew how I could keep you

If I only knew what I wanted

And if I only knew what you wanted too

Tell me what you want, tell me what to do

Tell me what do I have to do to keep you

I used to think I knew you inside out,

Now I’m never sure what you’re talkin’ about

I don’t know what you’re meaning

I’m sittin’ in the dark awake in bed,

I can hear you breath as you sleep instead

I wonder what you’re dreaming?

If I only knew what to do,

If I only knew how I could keep you

If I only knew what I wanted

And if I only knew what you wanted too

Tell me what you want, tell me what to do

Tell me what I have to do to keep you

Tell me what you want, tell me what to do

Tell me what I have to do to keep you Oooh, oooh...

If I only knew what to do,

If I only knew how I could keep you

If I only knew what I wanted

And if I only knew what you wanted too

Tell me what you want, tell me what to do

Tell me what I have to do to keep you

Tell me what you want, tell me what to do

Tell me what you need...

KALEIDOSCOPE

Tell me are you wondering
Do you think you’ve gone mad
Are you speaking another language that no one understands
You talk to the ocean and you listen to the birds
As everyone around you wonders what you heard

You’re not broken you’re too beautiful
To fit inside the box of how to be
You may seem blurry to all the rest
But that’s ‘cause you see colors no one sees
You’re a kaleidoscope to me

You run and chase the sunrise
and you wish on falling stars
You paint the sky with your eyes
And hold the moon in your arms

---

LINGER

I want to let you linger, I want to let you lounge
I want to make excuses to call you and hang around
I want to be in denial, I want to believe
That I’ll be your princess again one day, and you’ll never leave

I don’t want to think you’re happy Even though I know you are
I want to keep it open, The door to your heart, oh no

I don’t really want to get over you, I don’t wanna let you go
I don’t ever really want to heal, if it means that you’ll disappear…
I wanna keep you here

I don’t want to hide your pictures or stifle my thoughts
I don’t want to avoid you and find someone else when you’re all that I want

And I don’t want to let you wander I want to keep you nearby
I don’t ever want to lose you, or let you die

I know you’re gone and I’m wasting my time
Keeping your candle lit, building a shrine
Feeding my fury/frenzy as fantasies fly
Dreams and illusions of you in my mind

PARADE OF STRANGERS

A parade of strangers on your tongue
A list of names one by one
All the faces of your past
Laugh at me to think I’m last

A parade of strangers in your house
On your walls and in your shelves
Painting pictures little whispers
Burning flames, weaving spells

A parade of strangers are in your heart
A parade of strangers left their mark
Am I just another stranger looking up at you
Juggling kisses in your parade of fools

A parade of strangers on your neck
Silver chains on your throat
Every link and every ring
Another promise that you broke

ON THE MOON

I’m driving too slow or you’re going too fast
I’m afraid I can’t catch up with you,
I’m on my hands and knees and I’m begging for food
Picking up the crumbs that are left of you,
As you set out to see and you’re sailing away
Into the silence of things you won’t say...

You’re my world but I’m on the moon
Trying to find a way to get back to you
You’re the butterfly I’m the prisoner
You’re the screamer, I just whisper,
I’m on fire but all you see is ash
Don’t you remember our passionate past,
You still take my breath away but now I can’t breathe
‘Cause you don’t, you won’t share it with me...

I’m beside myself you’re inside you
Our rainbow is turning to black and blue,
Even your cheap cigars and your red wine
Can’t hide the darkness behind the sunshine,
And you’re poisoning me with your sweet cologne
You are everywhere and I’m all alone...

STARFISH

I know you’ve been sinking I see you going under
You don’t have a reason to swim
I can see you drowning I feel you giving up and
I wish you wouldn’t give in
I know it’s dark but there’s yellow all above you
If you open up your eyes
Open up your eyes baby… open up your eyes

Cause I can save you from outta the blue
And pin you up in the sky
And hang you from the moon, and let you shine, shine, shine.
You know the sunlight will never get through
If you don’ let me try
Let me hang you from the moon, and let you shine…

You’re livin’ in a castle, an underwater world
But I know you can feel the waves
Crashing up above you, but don’t you know I love you
And I am gonna keep you safe.
Don’t swim away, baby, don’t swim away…

'Cause I can save you from outta the blue
And pin you up in the sky
And hang you from the moon, and let you shine, shine, shine.
You know the sunlight will never get through
If you don’t let me try
Let me hang you from the moon and let you shine…

You’re a starfish under water, you're a star without a glow
You're a starfish so beautiful, I want to hold you up and behold… behold

I'll save you from outta the blue and pin you up in the sky
I'm gonna hang you from the moon and let you shine….

Cuz don’t you know the sunlight will never get through
If you don’t let me try
Let me hang you from the moon and let you shine, shine shine

SUPERHERO

It’s another five AM alarm,
There’s another ticket on my car
It’s another long latte line,
I’m never gonna make it on time

I need a warrior, I need a lift,
I need a miracle to get me out of this

I need a superpower, a superhuman touch
I need a super being with the strength to pick me up
I need a super someone to get me out of bed
To set me on fire and bring me back to life again
Oh, where do I go?
Where do I find you?
Where’s my superhero?

Welcome to my mundane Monday life,
You can call me Ms. Boring, Ms. Trite
Pencils pushing paper, turning time,
The clock it mocks my every sigh

I need a warrior, I need a fix,
I’m gone need a miracle, get me out of this…
