Crucify

Every finger in the room is pointing at me

I wanna spit in their faces

But I get afraid of what that could bring

Got a bowling ball in my stomach

Got a desert in my mouth

Figures that my courage would choose to sell out now

I've been looking for a saviour in these dirty streets

Looking for a saviour beneath these dirty sheets

I've been raising up my hands

Drive another nail in

Just what God needs

One more victim

Why do we crucify ourselves

Everyday, I crucify myself

And nothin' I do is good enough for you

I crucify myself

Oh everyday

And my heart is sick of bein'

I said my heart is sick of bein' in chains

Got a kick for a dog who's beggin' for love

I gotta have my suffering

And I can have my cross

I know a cat named Easter

He says will you ever learn

You're just an empty cage girl if you kill the bird

I've been looking for a saviour in these dirty streets

Looking for a saviour beneath these dirty sheets

I've been raising up my hands

Drive another nail in

Got enough guilt to start my own religion

Why do we crucify ourselves

Everyday, I crucify myself

And nothin' I do is good enough for you

I crucify myself

Oh everyday

And my heart is sick of bein'

I said my heart is sick of bein' in chains

Please Save Me

I Cry

Looking for a saviour in these dirty streets

Looking for a saviour beneath these dirty sheets

I've been raising up my hands

Drive another nail in

Where're those angels when you need 'em?

Why do we crucify ourselves

Everyday, I crucify myself

And nothin' I do is good enough for you

I crucify myself

Oh everyday

And my heart is sick of bein'

I said my heart is sick of bein' in chains

Girl

From in the shadows she calls

And in the shadows she finds a way

Finds a way

And in the shadows she crawls

Clutching her faded photograph

My image under her thumb

Yes with a message for my heart

Yes with a message for my heart

She's been everybody else's girl

Maybe one day she'll be her own

Everybody else's girl

Maybe one day she'll be her own

And in the doorway they stay

And laugh as violins fill with water

Screams from the blue-bells

Can't make them go away

Well I'm not seventeen

But I've cuts on my knees

Falling down as the winter

Takes one more cherry tree

She's been everybody else's girl

Maybe one day she'll be her own

Everybody else's girl

Maybe one day she'll be her own

Rushin' rivers thread so thin

Limitations, dreams with the flying pigs

Turbid blue and the drugstores

Too safe in their coats anda in their do's

Yeah smother in our hearts a pillow to my dots

one day maybe one day one day she'll be her own

And in the mist there she rides

And curses are burning in my heart

And as I twist I hold tight

And I ride to work every morning wondering why

Sit in the chair and be good now

Oh and become all that they told you

The white coats enter the room

And I'm callin' my baby

callin' my baby

callin' my baby

callin'.....

Everybody else's girl

Maybe one day she'll be her own

Silent All These Years

Excuse me but can I be you for a while

My dog won't bite if you sit real still

I got the antichrist in the kitchen yellin' at me again

Yeah I can hear that

Been saved again by the garbage truck

I got somethin' to say you know but nothing comes

Yes I know what you think of me you never shut up

Yeah I can hear that

But what if I'm a mermaid

In these jeans of his with her name still on it

Hey but I don't care 'Cos sometimes I said sometimes

I hear my voice and it's been here

Silent all these years

So you found a girl who thinks really deep thoughts

What's so amazing about really deep thoughts

Boy you'd best pray that I bleed real soon

How's that thought for you

My scream got lost in a paper cup

You think there's a heaven where some screams have gone

I got twenty-five bucks and a cracker

Do you think it's enough

To get us there?

'Cos what if I'm a mermaid

In these jeans of his with her name still on it

Hey but I don't care 'Cos sometimes I said sometimes

I hear my voice and it's been here

Silent all these years

Silent all these...

Years go by will I still be waiting

For somebody else to understand

Years go by if I'm stripped of my beauty

And the orange clouds raining in my hand

Years go by will I choke on my tears

Till finally there is nothing left

One more casualty

You know we're too easy easy easy

Well I love the way we communicate

Your eyes focus on my funny lip shape

Lets hear what you think of me now

But baby don't look up

The sky is falling

Your mother shows up in a nasty dress

And it's your turn now to stand where I stand

Everybody lookin' at you

Here take hold of my hand

Yeah I can hear them

But what if I'm a mermaid

In these jeans of his with her name still on it

Hey but I don't care 'Cos sometimes I said sometimes

I hear my voice and it's been here

Silent all these years 

Winter

Snow can wait I forgot my mittens

Wipe my nose, get my new boots on

I get a little warm in my heart when I think of Winter

I put my hands in my father's glove

I run off where the drifts get deeper

Sleeping Beauty trips me with a frown

I hear a voice "you must learn to stand up

For your self 'cos I can't always be around"

He says When you gonna make up your mind?

When you gonna love you as much as I do?

When you gonna make up your mind?

'Cos things are gonna change so fast

All the white horses are still in bed

I tell you that I'll always want you near

You say that things change, my dear

Boys get discovered as winter melts

Flowers competing for the sun

Years go by and I'm here still waiting

Withering where some snowman was

Mirror mirror where's the crystal palace?

But I only can see myself

Skating around the truth who I am

But I know Dad, the ice is getting thin

When you gonna make up your mind?

When you gonna love you as much as I do?

When you gonna make up your mind?

'Cos things are gonna change so fast

All the white horses are still in bed

I tell you that I'll always want you near

You say that things change, my dear

Hair is grey and the fires are burning

So many dreams on the shelf

You say I wanted you to be proud of me

I always wanted that myself

When you gonna make up your mind?

When you gonna love you as much as I do?

When you gonna make up your mind?

'Cos things are gonna change so fast

All the white horses have gone ahead

I tell you that I'll always want you near

You say that things change, my dear

Never change

All the white horses are..... 

Me and A Gun

Five AM Friday mornin'

Thursday night far from sleep

I'm still up and drivin'

Can't go home, obviously

So I'll just change directions

Cause they'll soon know where I live

And I want to live

Got a full tank and some chips

It was me and a gun and a man on my back

And I sang "holy, holy"

As he buttoned down his pants

You can laugh it's kind of funny

The things you think times like these

Like I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this

Yes I wore a slinky red thing

Does that mean I should spread

For you, your friends, your father, Mr Ed

Me and a gun and a man on my back

But I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this

And I know what this means

Me and Jesus a few years back

Used to hang and he said

"It's your choice babe, just remember

I don't think you'll be back three days time

So you choose well"

Tell me what's right, is it my right

To be on my stomach of Fred's Seville

Me and a gun and a man on my back

But I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this

And do you know Carolina

Where the biscuits are soft and sweet

These things go through your head

When there's a man on your back

You're pushed flat on your stomach

It's not a classic cadillac

Me and a gun and a man on my back

But I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this

I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this
