Carried Away 04:10
When I was 17 I fell in love with every boy that I would meet When I was 21 I was his first kiss thought we'd never be done When I was 25, well you were 19 and it just didn't work like But when we broke apart it was like standing on a cliff in the pitch dark I got carried away When I was in NYC I met a man caught up in monogamy We danced the thinnest line, a dozen near misses every single night But with the boundaries crossed it's like I found something I didn't know was lost The right place, the wrong time, I couldn't be his and he wouldn't be mine I got carried away Red, Red, Red, we got lost in our heads But you know we can't fight death Now several years have gone, who knew a could freeze could last so long? He said "something's broken," the short sharp slap when the truth is spoken But can the heart be saved or do I have to climb out of my own grave? Oh will I ever know, would you hold me or just let go? I wanna get carried away

One Tattoo 03:52
Your lips, my lips, why can't we stay Pressed together in this rainy doorway? Another boy is waiting in a few year's time So I guess I'll have to settle for just a few more nights One tattoo's not enough for you and neither am I So one last kiss then we'll call it quits for this lifetime New York in Spring, you're photographing everything in sight Red sky at night, sailor's delight, but he isn't mine Your state, my state, why can't we stay Pressed together every twenty days? Another boy is waiting in a few year's time So I guess I'm the one you're bouncing off till you find what's right One tattoo's not enough for you and neither am I So one last kiss then we'll call it quits for this lifetime San Francisco in Spring, you're photographing everything in sight Red sky at night, redhead's delight, but he isn't mine

Leona 01:13
I live on a road that's not a road anymore And I love a man who doesn't care anymore I swallow everything

More 02:51
I don't mean to sound greedy I should be happy for the time But I guess I want more Than waiting for you to pick me up from the side Can't you see, he's not me? I don't mean to sound needy On my own I do quite fine But I guess I want more Than waiting for my face to cross your mind Can't you see, she's not me?

Stung 03:18
Wind your silver strings up now Fill the room with sound Tilt another bottle back Dress it all in black Tell me how you'd be with me If it weren't for her Ply your trade, your masquerade Fuck us both over Bounce another stake off your heart The show is over All those late night songs that we played Here comes another I didn't pull her away from you, she turned and walked Being right is some kind of drug till you're cut off Bounce another stake off your heart The war is over All those late night songs that we played Is there another? Lovesick and stupid in that motel, I got so lost If being wrong is some kind of drug, please cut me off

Suit 02:15
Take off your sleep suit put on your work suit Take off your work suit put on your sleep suit Coming home every day, hiding out come what may Take off your friend suit put on your sex suit Take off your sex suit put on your friend suit Dining out every day, hungry still come what may

Junior Year 02:16
Golden dancer, head held high Boys and girls are swooning as he passes by Tell me I'm so lucky, look me straight in the eye You don't know he's laughing every time I cry Is this love, is this love, is this love? Yes it must, yes it must, yes it must Staring at the ceiling as he pushes me I make him feel so rejected if I don't meet his needs And he can call me stupid, he can call me slow But he was crying at my feet as I turned to go Is this love, is this love, is this love? No it must, no it must, no it must

Suddenly 03:39
Suddenly in a new house, hopefully she follows through Implicitly she decided, explicitly she was so untrue And she wakes up without you too Painstakingly things divided, achingly you start anew Instantly she says "friendship," consistently she's using you And she wakes up without you too

Ballerina 01:38
Walk flat on your feet, not like a high heeled ballerina, little boy Walk flat on your feet, not like a high heeled ballerina, she said

Cannibal 04:28
Carved out of marble, you're covered in skin I stand on clay feet, balancing You are a cannibal starving to death I'm dressed for dinner, not holding my breath My eyes keeping looking at you My eyes keep staring at you My eyes keeping looking at you My eyes keep searching for you Chemical misfire, scorches the brain All of your pretty plans went down the drain I am a cannibal stalking my prey You didn't come alone, don't want me that way My eyes keeping looking at you My eyes keep staring at you My eyes keeping looking at you My goddamn eyes keep searching for you Carved out of marble, you're covered in skin I stand on clay feet, balancing I am a cannibal stalking my prey You didn't come alone, don't love me that way My eyes keeping looking at you My eyes keep staring at you My eyes keeping looking at you My goddamn eyes keep searching for you

Some Bodies 05:50
Some muscles don't work like they want to Some bodies just don't understand One step and you're stuck on the outside Some bodies just don't give a damn If you say it out loud then you're marked with A desire held out in your hands If you keep it locked tight then you're left with Some body who don't understand You don't have to be good You don't have to crawl up the stairs You don't have to be good You don't have to crawl Some bodies just move to the front line Some of us just hang in the back Sharing jokes and don't spare the punchline Some bodies just get photographed Some circles just close from the inside Some open at the touch of a hand When you're out in the crowd are you left with Some body who don't give a damn? You don't have to be good You don't have to crawl up the stairs You don't have to be good You don't have to crawl There's a desert in your heart There's an ocean in your lungs There's a room here for your body Find a home inside your bones There's a desert in your heart There's an ocean in your lungs There's a room here for your body Find a home inside your bones
