LYRICS

She got a poet's spirit

She bums among the clouds

She never stops believing

She only dreams out loud

There's a jackpot in the dresser

She's smiling in the glass

And if you need to kiss her

Don't forget your stash

'Cause she gives it away

And you're fascinated by her

And she does it again

With simple and brilliant desire

And she gives it away

And you're fascinated by

By her

She wears a million colours

There's rainbows on her soles

She got a sign above her

That says I'm never growing old

You're asking her to dance

Now she spins a solid white light

She gonna make love to you today

Today and every night

'Cause she gives it away

And you're fascinated by her

And she does it again

With simple and brilliant desire

And she gives it away

And you're fascinated by

By her

She may be waiting

Around the comer of your mind

But still you know

She's there you can feel her inside

So don't forget about the reasons

That brought you her

'Cause she's a miracle

'Cause she gives it away

And you're fascinated by her

And she does it again

With simple and brilliant desire

And she gives it away

And you're fascinated by

By her

If I won me the lottery

I'd dance naked in the street

With a top hat full of money

And you'd want to get to know me

If I won me the lottery

And if I was a movie star

I'd sip honey from a pickle jar

In the back of my limousine

And they'd call me an icon

And I'd be looking back at you

From the cover of the People magazine

I guess it's all for the taking

I guess it's all yours and mine

My sister says I got to see it and believe it

And I believe I believe it

But I'm just an outsider

Living in a trailer with my black and white TV set

If only I was President

You know I'd paint the White House pink

And never have to pay the rent

If only I was President

I guess it's all there for the taking

I think it's all yours and mine

My preacher says I got to see it to believe it

And l believe won't sleep till I've had enough

I believe won't sip my wine from no paper cup

I believe won't sleep till I've had enough

Until I've had enough

Delicious surprise

Now I do believe

No fear in my eyes

Now I can see

Heaven's inside inside inside

I knew it all the time

Got me something to believe in

But all I really want now is a handful of salvation

And l believe won't sleep till I've had enough

I believe won't sip my wine from no paper cup

I believe won't sleep till I've had enough

Until I've had enough

Laughing till it pisses everybody off

Pulling up my dress at a dinner meeting

Kissing till my lips are ready to fall off

Screaming all night then just say I'm singing

Yeah these are some of my favorite things

Gold butterflies and gum on a string

Yeah these are some of my favorite things

But doing nothing is my favorite one

Cashing in on the glory of my biggest mistakes

Fading in the grass basking in the sunlight

Go and say to mama I'll just drive 98

Hold her in my arms tell her I'll be alright

Breath in faith and hope and a big fat cigarette

Drowning in the wine having no regrets

Yeah these are some of my favorite things

Don't ask me why

Gold butterflies and gum on a string

Get me high

Yeah these are some of my favorite things

But doing nothing is my favorite one

It's not the life I thought it would be

But I'll be alright I know I will be

So long to circumstance

Cashing in on the glory of my biggest mistakes

I'm fading now at last basking in sweet sunlight

Yeah these are some of my favorite things

Don't ask me why

Gold butterflies and gum on a string

Get me high

Yeah these are some of my favorite things

But doing nothing son is my very favorite one

But maybe loving you babe is my favorite one

My very favorite one

Hello again my friend it's been sometime

I try and read you in your shifting eyes

Your hands are trembling as I hold them in mine

How ya living

You were the talker an I was the clown

We grew up wondering how we would get out

But you're still talking talking

You got places to go

You got people to know

You got plans to get your shit together

Did you take it too far

Did you forget who you are

Did you stash your soul into the closet forever

So now you're hustling for the five and dime

You cured the stranger and his perverted mind

You are the poet of need and lust how's the preaching

You painted destinations on the inside

And dreamed of revelations yearning to fly

But you're still walking and still talking

You got places to go

You got people to know

You got plans to get your shit together

Did you take it too far

Did you forget who you are

Did you stash your soul into the closet forever

Hold on Geany watch what ya say

Save your preaching for a rainier day

Hold on Geany I'm talking to you

You're so amazing in whatever you do

You got places to go

You got people to know

You got plans to get your shit together

You got places to go

You got people to know

You got plans to get your shit together

Did you take it too far

Did you forget who you are

Did you stash your soul into the closet forever

Hold on Geany watch what ya say

Save your preaching for a rainier day

Hold on Geany I'm talking to you

You're so amazing in whatever you do

You got places to go

You got people to know

You got plans to get your shit together

Did you take it too far

Did you forget who you are

Did you stash your soul into the closet

You didn't take it to far

Still you know who you are

Grab your soul and hold on to forever

Forever

Together

People got no clothes on

Naked without the blinds drawn

Welcome to my kingdom

We're living our own freedom

And the girls say

Small boy sewn in stitches

He knows wicked witches

Mama's love is silent

Her sweetness becomes violence

And the girls say

It's got me losing my way

Is God really gone

Losing my way

Everybody runs

Losing my way

Everybody hung their head down to sigh

It's got me losing my way

Is God really gone

Losing my way

Everybody runs

Everybody hung their head out to dry

Pictured on the ceiling

Regretting what you're feeling

Welcome to my kingdom

We're living our own freedom

And the girls say

It's got me losing my way

Is God really gone

Losing my way

Everybody runs

Losing my way

Everybody hung their head down to sigh

It's got me losing my way

Is God really gone

Losing my way

Everybody runs

Everybody hung their head out to dry

Silver blue hair and a cane in her hand

Living to die in the promised land

Handing out flyers for the coming of Christ

She says raise from the fire for eternal life

Or they'll take your mind and they'll strip your faith

And they'll starve you with nothing that you already ate

And they'll compliment just to break you down

Spin you in circles running round and round

Good ole people live

Good ole people

Coke bottle glasses and a smile on his face

He stands on the comer screaming don't mix the race

Commanding all the children to confess all their sins

Then he beats his wife with a bottle of Gin

And they'll whip your mind just to strip your faith

Counterfeit people coming to dominate

And they'll get you high just to greet you down

Spin you in circles running round and round

Good ole people live

Good ole people give

But good ole people can't drive

And maybe that's why good ole people die

Maybe that's why

Good ole people live

Good ole people give

Good ole people can't drive

Maybe that's why good ole people die

Violins hear em play

On the fence where I lay

It' s where I lay

Tumble down to the ground

Watch em crash not a sound

Thereâ' s no sound

And you say that it don't matter to me

And you say that all this love's for free

And you say it don't matter to me

It don't matter to me

Take me down

From consciousness

Hold me now

In decadence

Lay me in

Your house of sin

Take me down

There's no sound

Hold me now

I'm breaking in

Consciousness

House of sin

Somebody swim

Tumble down onto my knee

Watch it burn

Hold your scream

Somebody sing

And you say nothing to me

And you say that all this war's for free

And you say still it ain' t nothing to me

And I would never agree

So take me now

From consciousness

Hold me now

In decadence

Lay me in

Your house of sin

Take me down

Take me now

There's no sound

Just look around

Your consciousness is fucking weak

Just look around

Violins screaming at your feet

Just look around

You're slurring every time you speak

Wish me luck

Give me something

Help me out

And I'll go there

All I want is a brand new truck

One eyed Jacks and beginner's luck

The doctor's script for the perfect drug

Get it all while I can

But I got no money and I got no man

I drive around in a beat up van

I ride on coffee and Percodan

Get it all while I can

Is that too much to ask

Is that too much to ask

So people tell me to clean up my mess

Like I was sweet sixteen in a dirty dress

But I'm wiser now so I must confess

That I get it all while I can

Is that too much to ask

Is that too much to ask

Just make it real and make it last

Someday maybe I'll understand

This crazy old life is in my hands

Someday maybe I'll figure it out

Somebody help me

Anybody tell me

Wish me luck

Give me something

Help me out

And I'll go there

Wish me luck

Give me something

Just make it real and make it last

To remember or to forget it

How could you ever laugh out loud while you cry

It will own you and you can't let it

While it holds you you can't even try

You're so unsatisfied

You're so damn petrified

You ain't got nothing

No you ain't got nothing to prove

Just a little heartache

Just a little hole

Just an itchy finger

And nobody knows

Just a little heartache

Something for the soul

Fingers on the trigger

And nobody knows

What she knows

Nobody knows

What she knows

Got a secret and how you dread it

I should have known by the lonely look in your eyes

Made a promise and never kept it

You didn't even tell me goodbye

You're so unsatisfied

There's no more tears to cry

You ain't got nothing

No you ain't got nothing to prove

Just a little heartache

Just a little hole

Just an itchy finger

And nobody knows

Just a little heartache

Something for the soul

Fingers on the trigger

And nobody knows

What she knows

Nobody knows

What she knows

In December I got your letter

And by the springtime they let me know you were gone

If I only loved you better

I'd see you smile again

But what's done is done

Just a little heartache

Just a little hole

Just an itchy finger

And nobody knows

Just a little heartache

Something for the soul

Fingers on the trigger

And nobody knows

What she knows

Nobody knows

What she knows

She hangs around the boulevard
She's a local girl with local scars
She got home late she got home late
She drank so hard the bottle ached
And she tried and she tried and she tried and she tried
But nothing's clear in a bar full of lies
So she takes and she takes she takes and she takes
She understands when she gives it away

She says man I gotta get outta this town
Man I gotta get outta this pain
Man I gotta get outta this town
Outta this town and out of L.A.

She's got a gun she's got a gun
She got a gun she calls the lucky one
She left a note right by the phone
Don't leave a message 'cause this ain't no home
And she cried and she cried and she cried and she cried
She cried so long her tears ran dry
She laughed and she laughed she laughed and she laughed 'cause she knew she was never coming back
She said man I'm gonna get outta this town
Man I'm gonna get outta this pain
Man I'm gonna get outta this town
Outta this town and out of L.A.

It's all she loves
It's all she hates
It's all too much for her to take
She can't be sure just where it ends

Or where the good life begins

So she took a train she took a train
To a little old town without a name
She met a man he took her in
But fed her all the same bullshit again
'Cause he lied and he lied and he lied and he lied
He lied like a salesman selling flies
So she screamed and she screamed and she screamed and she screamed
It's a different place but the same old thing

It's all I love
It's all I hate
It's all too much for me to take
I can't be sure where it begins

Or if the good life lies within

So she said
Man I gotta get out of this town
Yeah now I gotta get back on that train
Man I gotta get out of this town
I'm outta my pain
So I'm going back to L.A.

Mother may I and I would say

Yes sweet baby take it away

It won't be long just remember

That powerful is the woman in you

Stay true

And she'd come to me when fire and water was gone

To caress the empty with a song

Saying why cry for anger that bullets the sky

Just remember I'll remember

Mama I'll get by

I know my face seems crazed and wild

But I got her eyes a mama's child am I

She's blessed with grace and is smooth as a line

And when I shade she helps me shine

And she comes to me when there's nothing I believe

And holds me so high yes I am free

Saying why hold the anger it won't let you fly

Just remember I'll remember

'Cause mama mama I'll get by

Confused by my own illusions

She said that it's only my pride

And even the simplest solutions

Still won't heal my mind

So I'll remember

I'll remember

And I'll get by

She combs her hair and cleans her face

Closes the door and kneels to pray

It don't matter that she's alone

Beast or dragons she's going home

If I lay me down

Bow my head unto the ground

Would you heal my skin

And these blisters within my skin

She found today so hard to say

I sweat the sheets too tired to play

And it don't matter 'cause I'm still alive

Beast or dragons won't make me hide

If I lay me down

Bow my head unto the ground

Would you heal my skin

And these blisters within my skin

Another way

I just cant find the words to say

Cold where I lay

It's cold where I lay

Bones cracked to clay

A killer's in the way

Hot is my shame

Fire pulls my veins

For never is my name

Forever in my shame

Holy come heal me

Solely delivery delivery

If I lay me down

Bow my head unto the ground

Would you heal my skin

And these blisters within

If I lay me down

Bow my head unto the ground

Would you heal my skin

And these blisters within

Blisters within my skin

There is a light

That shimmers like a diamond in the night

A fire that is powerful and strong

And I call it home

Here in the dark

Where I dream myself to sleep I feel my heart

As timeless as the carving on the stone

And yes it's home

Miracles happening every day

Millions of people are dying to get away

'Cause the sky is falling

The angels are calling

But I have no fear

Yes the sky is falling

The angels are calling me

Yes I can hear

That the sky is falling

Opening up

I stretch my arms so wide I feel my love

It's falling right out of the sky and home

Yes I call it home

Miracles happening every day

Millions of people are dying to get away

'Cause the sky is falling

The angels are calling

But I have no fear

Yes the sky is falling

The angels are calling me

Yes I can hear

That the sky is falling

Sky is falling

Miracles happening every day

Millions of people are dying to get away

'Cause the sky is falling

The angels are calling

Yes I can hear

'Cause the sky is falling

The angels are calling me

But I have no fear

That the sky is falling

It's on the good side

On the good side

Sky is falling

So suddenly it rolls by again

Soft as a breeze and light as the wind

Don't say goodbye and don't dry these tears

If I could fly we'd fly away from here

So don't let go

Just come along now

Just say so

It won't be long now

It's all right

This ain't no lie

It's right on time

Petals of rose I touch your hair

Heaven knows I love you here

Beautiful smile covets the time

I feel so fine I feel so fine

On my way

Come along and stay

When I was young just a little girl

I'd sing to the sun and dream with the world

Now I got a suitcase full of memories

If I could show you maybe you'd stay with me

Stay with me

So don't let go

Just come along now

Just say so

It won't be long now

It's all right

This ain't no lie

It's right on time

Petals of rose I touch your hair

Heaven knows I love you here

Beautiful smile covets the time

I feel so fine I feel so fine

On my way

Come along and stay

Guess I don't try guess I don't give a damn

Lord knows I'm tired anyway

If you were here then I'd be over there

Guess I don't hang on every word you say

My mind says don't stop

Better check your head

It's time to save myself again

Take me away

Take me away

Take me away

I'm outta here

I talk to you and you just agree

But you don't seem to get the things that I've been dreaming of

So uninspired so uninspiring

He's gonna lie all my love all my love

My mind says don't stop

Better check your head

I've got to save my soul again

Take me away

Take me away

Take me away

I'm outta here

I guess again I guess again

I guess again but there's nothing more to give you

I guess again I guess again

I guess again but there's nothing more to give you

I guess again I guess again

I guess again I guess again

You better look around before you scratch that itch

Or you can get yourself some other bitch

Take me away

Take me away

Take me away

I'm outta here

Take me away

No need to trip about it

Been there can do without it

Oh mama take me away

Take me away

No need to trip about it

Been there can do without it

Sweet Lord take me away

Take me away

No need to trip about it

Been there can do without it

Sweet Jesus take me away

No need to trip about it

Been there can do without it

Oh mama take me away

Oh mama take me away

Dear Lord take me away

No need to trip about it now

Been there can do without it now

Hey Jesus take me away

Yeah yeah
