Comin' To You

Belly Up To The Bar.
It's 10:00, do you know where your children are?
Of course you don't, cause you're drunk and alone
And you left them on the end of the telephone.

Settle back in your chair.
Watch the news, why should you care?
And even though it's the state of the world today,
It's only for yourself to god you pray.

Who's going to save the world?
Well, what can one person do?
Where's the Catcher in the Rye?
Well, you say it can't be you.
Why do the babies have to die?
Well, you got problems too.
What's the world coming to?
Well, we're coming to you.
Coming to you.

Mr. Jones likes his life. He's got the benz and the 2.5
Leather carpool politics got him sucking on the end of the big white boss's dick

Despicable as it may seem you find yourself in these tainted scenes
And I know you ignore the cry
With your what-can-I-do-alibi.

Cowboys and Valentines

Go out and find yourself a different kind of girl
Go out exploring in your brave new world
Keep your focus and your memory
In your pocket at all times
You are ready for a different
Kind of meeting of the minds
You have earned your place among
The enduring valentines

Write your name across the sky for everyone to read
Drink deeply from the well
Though some might think you greedy
Pay attention to your setbacks
What you learn will leave its mark
To understand the light
You got to understand the dark
Now you can ride along with
The cowboys of the heart

And you're tired
Don't see a way to make it through
And you feel so uninspired
When will the cowboy look for you?

Winter comes we find ourselves running from the cold
Just like the reactions that we have to getting old
But the wise embrace the seasons as just stones along the path
In time the stones get smoother- you will notice as you pass
Now you can ride along with the valentines at last

East Avenue

I'm living on East Avenue
It was a steal and there is room for two
I let my pain stay in the guest room
It's the best room in the house
I never meant to break your heart, you know
One of us had to be the one to go
Sometimes I don't remember that you weren't there for me
Did you care for me at all?

I always find myself sitting
By some body of water
Looking at my reflection
Saying i'm just my dad's daughter
I forget why I left
I think of your hands around me
Now I'm having insights that completely astound me
They astound me
They astound me

I will find my self

I won't forget why I left

Enough

You work your soul down to the bone
To make enough to pay your loans
Your superficial friends are all around
Your rent is high your car is tight
You don't feel empty 'til the morning light
'Cause in the morning light all your defenses are down

When will enough be enough?
When will we stop
Comparing what we've got
'cause what we have right here and now
Is all that we've got any how
When will enough be enough?

After 17 laps around
The love racetrack you finally found
A lover who is good, and true and kind
But still you flirt and play with fire
Just careful enough not to be a liar
You think the grass is greener on the other side

Chorus/solo/bridge:
Deep down inside I think you know it's true
So let it flow all over you
Don't put it somewhere on the shelf
'Cause you can reinvent yourself

House of Cinnamon

Every day we wake to the rising sun
Put our courage on and face the day
Every night we lay in each other's arms
(I do love your charms) and the music plays

And I move with you, under the moonlight
And I sway with you, to the rising sun
And I move with you, 'cause that's our rhythm
And I'll stay with you, in our house of cinnamon

Separate the world because it's just a dream
I'm just what I seem, and you see it too
Come and lay your troubles on our velvet spread
Lay them on the bed, and we'll see them through

Bridge:
And I am amazed at your love for me
You let me know that I'm not what I used to be
We'll walk each other through the here and now
'Cause the future never happens
And the past just won't allow

LaGuardia

It's three A.M. in LaGuardia
An angel comes my way
She tells me girl you're a cast of thousands
In a one woman play
She says, but I got news from above
All there is, is love

The other night I had this in a dream:
An angel was speaking to me
She said girl, I got evidence
And a truth so plain to see
I got news from above
All there is, is love

You should stop using your head
It's not complicated
Oh, my sister, my brother
All we need is each other

It's three A.M. in LaGuardia
An angel comes my way
She tells me girl you're a cast of thousands
In a one woman play
She says, but I got news from above
All there is, is love
(There's only love)
Only love…

Look the Other Way

Mary had a little lamb
His fleece was cherry red
See, he went off to join the war
Despite what she had said
The letter said she could be proud
Her little lamb was gone

And if you look the other way you'll see
The sun come down on your civil liberties
And if you turn another blind eye
You will see the innocent people die
She dreamed about him coming back
And teaching Sunday school
Playing with his children
He left his wife with two
She prayed upon the White House lawn
Which was against the rules

Round and round the mulberry
Our heads are in a spin
The monkey and the weasel
Got us in the state we're in
Rip Van Winkle would be proud
Of how we have been sleeping

You may sit on the left
You may sit on the right
In the middle of your heart
You gotta know what's right

back to top

Love's Evolution

Set aside your tools of war
They're no longer a means of survival
You know exactly what I mean
What we need is love's revival

This is hard and that's no lie
'cause you put your own needs on the shelf
You can see that's it's more than a dream
When you take a good look at yourself

Call for love's evolution
Stop trying to get your own
It's your revolution
Hate must be overthrown

See your brother on the street
Give him money if it fits your budget
Even if you are right you are wrong
When you pity and then you judge him

See your sister giving birth
Who's the daddy? She doesn't remember
If she feels love for once in her life
It might be a warmer December

back to top

It Ain't Right

You'd live in a shack for me, You'd tie your own self to the track for me
You never give me the third degree when I'm out half the night
You're nice to my mama though she's mean to you
You say I look 19 to you. Any other girl would be your fool
Who could refuse a white knight?

It ain't wrong, but it ain't right

You're like a big umbrella in the rain
The way you love me I got no complaints
I believe you just might be a saint but that's not my appetite
Girl, you are so sensitive and even though I don't you do forgive
When I get argumentative you never put up a fight

Chorus (2X)

Bridge:
You'll forget about me when you find someone to love
And I'll be lucky to find someone half as good as you
You will wake one morning- love will cover you like dawn
And I'll be alright too

You know I just can't keep you in the dark
I got to tell you that there ain't no spark
You got my hand but not my heart
Somebody else will love you right
You need to find someone whose love won't fade
I can't keep on with this masquerade
Night after night, day after day
Babe, you best turn on the light

Ran From Love

Saturday morning I turned off the lights
Looked in the mirror and started to cry
Your sister's been calling, she's been there before
But I don't want to hear it any more

Maybe you had somewhere to be
Maybe I shouldn't have thrown the glove
Maybe we were too blind too see
That we both ran from love

I guess it's good now, admitting I'm afraid
I hope someday you'll admit the same
I know you feel it, no matter what you say
I'm getting better I didn't give myself away

Bridge:
Maybe my heart can't be broken
That's a wolf in a sheep's disguise
I'm amazed at my ability
To leave the past behind

The Road

Sunday morning I'm leaving P.A.
My father was born here
And here's where he melted away
Why's it always so grey?

Crossed the border near Great Bend that week
Didn't help to cry
But the tears just rolled down my cheeks
Why couldn't he speak to me?

But the road makes me strong
Can't explain it, it's been true all along
It stretches out like a ribbon of dreams
Trails behind me like an endless stream
The road makes me strong
It teaches me how to write my songs
It winds around while I find what's true
The road pulls me through

Sitting still, you know that's hard for me
Karen read it in the cards for me
And it's been so
So away I go

Put down the bottle put down the pipe
That's made for me an extraordinary life
Sometimes I still gotta go
Then I come back home

back to top

Winter in June

On a certain kind of day
I can still hear how you sound
If I moved half the planet away
You'd still get to me somehow

Here at the crossroads of my life
I still can't tell wrong from right
Here it's like the dark side of the moon
It's like winter in June

With the rhythm of the road
Wish I knew then what I now know
With the windshield wiper's beat
Your laugh comes running back to me

back to top

Addicted to More

Maybe I should've walked away
Easy for you to say
You got into my bones like
A humid day
Maybe I should've walked away

Maybe I should just put it down
Damage done, now put it down
It swims in me and runs my brain around
Maybe I should've put it down

Chorus:
And Tommy said, 'run don't walk'
And it made me laugh
Because that could be
My epitaph
Now I'm standing here outside your door
What am I addicted to?
I'm addicted to more, more, more

back to top

Feeding The Hungry

I was such a lonely girl
Thought I was the only girl
So I turned my hungry world
Into a milk and honey world

Chorus:
Searching for things I'll never find
Feeding the hungry in my mind

I was the chameleon
Always the comedian
Looking for a guardian
Fighting off the war within

back to top

Not Your Savior

You're better off leaving me by the phone
You're better off letting me walk home alone
You're better off wondering what I'd be like
And going home to be with your wife

There's a storm brewing inside of you
The lightning splits you like a tree
But you act like this is all up to you
Maybe baby, it's up to me

Chorus:
You will visit me now or later
In your guilty shoes
I'm your secret; I'm not your savior
I just can't be that for two

You're better off saying no to that drink
You're better off taking a minute to think
You're better off staying right over there
The devil ain't the only one who may care

It's a thin line between love and lust
One's the cure and one's the fix
But there's a mile between doubt and trust
And you're up to your old tricks

back to top

Pearl

My baby is a pearl iridescent and rare
When I close my eyes I smell the flowers in her hair
Sometimes she makes me toast and tea
And wraps herself around me
My baby is a pearl iridescent and rare

My baby's like the ocean, she tastes just like the sea
When we get to loving, have mercy on me
Her kiss is healing that's for sure
But I hope I never find the cure
My baby's like the ocean, she tastes just like the sea

How does she know just what I need?
She is always beside me.

Thousand Years

I have loved you right from the very start
I can't imagine a life from you apart
You pulled me back to earth with dignity and grace
I was all over the place

Chorus:
Now I've been wondering
If it's meant to be
If I asked you,
Would you marry me?

I can tell you
What I need you to hear
I will love you
For a thousand years
My dear

We circled slowly, remembering our last au revoir
You were familiar; I found in you a kindred heart
And in your kitchen we made love right on the floor
I just remember wanting more and more

Bridge:
I don't care if
People talk and stare
I will love you everywhere

back to top

I Feel Ya

People used to talk to each other
Help a neighbor just like a brother
Like it was in my neighbor hood
Mom would make popsicle ice cubes
Everybody knew who was who
Back when I was small and life was good

Many winters many falls
We build fences just like walls
Robot through the day avoiding eyes
But if I take one look at you
See your spirit shining through
That is all I need to feel alive

I Feel Ya (4X)

Walking in the crowd downtown
Mr. Jones and Mr. Brown
Every day's the same but they don't know
If it was my video game
I would pause it at this frame
Make them stop and smile and say hello

I look out into the crowd
Thinking my thoughts right out loud
Searching for a way to keep it real
Looking right, looking left
Take the time to turn my head
Got to let you know it's you I feel
back to top

What Have We Done

People smile like crocodiles
In lava tides of woe
Devouring, overpowering
Through mirrors and through smoke

Dark blue suits that execute
If the color's right
Baby saving, boy enslaving
Alibi airtight

Oh, What Have You Done (4X)

God forgive me, I'm positively
Overrun with hate
This justifying, crucifying
Goes on and won't abate

Must be confusing we're all using
You to justify
Omnipotence must be immense
Have you gotta choose a side?

Oh, What Have We Done (4X)
