"Moment Of Weakness"

i stand in the pouring rain
you couldn't even be there to pick me up
yer taking me for granted, again
yer running outa time, and yer outa luck!

just a moment of weakness
i should examine my head!
just a moment of weakness
i never meant a word i said

i'm sick with the beiijing flu
and you chose then not to come home.
a week later I caught you
kissing a girl who was my clone!

just a moment of weakness
i should examine my head!
just a moment of weakness
i never meant a word i said!

(oh, why should I stay and pretend?
you make me laugh again
my darling, truth is - we are not even friends!
oh, love comes and it goes.
where yer heart stops - no one knows...
how did i wind up in the is mess, here - with you! )

just a moment of weakness
i should examine my head!
just a moment of weakness
i never meant a word i said!

"Lucky"

it was a monday, when my lover told me,
"never pay the reaper with love only."
what could i say to you, except, "i love you."
and "i'd give my life for yours."

i know we are: we are the lucky ones.
i know we are: we are the lucky ones.
i know we are: we are the lucky ones, dear.

the first time we made love, i: i wasn't sober.
(and you told me you loved me over and over!)
how could i ever love another, when i miss you every day:

remember the time we made love in the roses?
(and you took my picture in all sorts of poses!)
how could i ever get over you, when i'd give my life for yours.

i know we are... we are the lucky ones.
i know we are... we are the lucky ones.
i know we are... we are the lucky ones.
i know we are: we are the lucky ones, dear.

my dear, It's time to say i thank god for you.
i thank god for you in each and every single way.
and, i know... i know.. i know.. i know...

it's time to let you know. time to let you know.
time to let you know. time to sit here and say:

i know we are... we are the lucky ones.
i know we are... we are the lucky ones.
i know we are... we are the lucky ones.
i know we are: we are the lucky ones, dear.
we are the lucky ones, dear...

"Sophia"

i picked you up on a gray day - the new jersey turnpike
i'll give you lots of yummy candy if ya like
sophia, your hair is like silk.
sophia, your skin is like milk.

that truck stop, baby, everybody loved you.
i held you close, you were mine - everyone knew.
sophia, "el perro" in madrid.
sophia, the one i love es usted (in this van)

me and sophia driving all week,
giggling and wiggling our feet.
gotta make time so we cannot stop.
wearing just panties 'cause it's too hot.
rolling fast through every hick town.

when you pant at me, sophia, i know what you're thinking.
it feels so hot, i'll bet you'd rather be drinking.
sophia, just hold on forty miles.
sophia, i live for all your smiles (in this van)

me and sophia driving all week,
giggling and wiggling our feet.
gotta make time so we cannot stop.
wearing just panties 'cause it's too hot.
rolling fast through every hick town.
tank of gas better last 'til sundown.

"Chotee"

i was just outa high school in my first band:
i married my drummer. our love was grand.
i thought it was forever - 'til death do us part.
then he cheated on me and he broke my heart.

[chotee:]

so young, so confused. what was i to do?
i'm so sorry, chotee, but i couldn't keep you.
i hope you can forgive me:
my baby, chotee, forgive me:

me and him were fighting on the road for two years.
he never loved me anyway. still brings me to tears.

[chotee:]

he didn't really want you - 'cause he didn't want me.
didn't wanna be a husband, didn't wanna be a daddy.
i hope you can forgive me:
my baby chotee, forgive me:

[sai ram:]

so long, my baby.

[bif:] [pointing to her dog] este es senor nick.

[nick:] como esta usted?

"Violence"

smiley, little baby snuggled in her mommy's arms.
pray you'll always keep yer daughter
safe and free from harm.
i wish that everyone lived in a happy place:
sunshine and bright eyes on everybody's face.

it's not about me.
it's not about you.
it's not about them or what they do.
it's not about pride it's about:
we must all understand
violence lies
it's not about me.
it's not about you.
it's about life.

apathy kills anger - and this is what ya choose.
there's always gonna be somebody who will lose.
did ya ever stop and think about the world as is.
life's about living, can't believe it's come to this.

it's not about me.
it's not about you.
it's not about them or what they do.
it's not about pride it's about:
we must all understand
violence lies
it's not about me.
it's not about you.
it's about life.

"The Peacock Song"

my mind's an ashtray full of ashes
lick the tears from my eyelashes
oh, whatever will i see that's good
he plays a really mean guitar
she smokes a really big cigar.
i'd love to love ya - if only i could
her love is, oh so, shiny wet -
keeps a bald peacock for a pet.
can you ever understand how i feel?
miss jenifa - my private dancer.
miss nina - to whom i answer.
kari sez we're the only ones who are real.

so, when i dream on sunday mornin'
and my lover right beside me keeps on snorin'
i wonder if my dog's in heaven,
and i wonder when i'll see her again.

psychopharmacology
has never found a friend in me,
but i'll eat sugar cubes all day and night.
those ducklings are never ugly
so, she sells herself by the sea.
i'll bake her a cake - be it wrong or right.
the caterpillar and the spider -
turn the screws a little tighter.
can you ever understand my feel?
gail g. - my inspiration,
miss denise should run the nation.
isabel tortures me with sex appeal:

so, when i dream on sunday mornin'
and my lover right beside me keeps on snorin'
i wonder if my dog's in heaven,
and i wonder when i'll see her again.

(yer really takin' me fer a ride
yer a wise guy, anyway:
i never had a place to hide except my brain!)

"If I"

have you heard da news, today?
i left you in the dust, and that's where you'll stay.
you never mattered anyway.
you don't really know how to play the game.

if i shed my skin, i won't feel:
(if i shed my skin)
if i close my eyes, i won't see you:
(if i close my eyes)
if i cover my ears and i won't hear:
(if i close my ears)
i shut my mouth and i won't tell
the truth.

you have a venomous tongue.
you deserve an iron lung:
you're spending your time obsessing -
and your hate will not ever let you be:

if i shed my skin, i won't feel:
(if i shed my skin)
if i close my eyes, i won't see you:
(if i close my eyes)
if i cover my ears and i won't hear:
(if i close my ears)
i shut my mouth and i won't tell
the truth about you:

"Anything"

i used to follow you and your friends to the ice rink
the back of your skidoo made me all wet (from snow)
you'd pat me on the head as we stole your dad's chevette, one more time.
i bought new hiking boots so you'd think i was cool
(you didn't care, coz you never knew i was alive)

i never wanted anything
the way i wanted you - that night.
my love transcended space and time...
i never wanted anything
the way i wanted you - that night.
my love transcended space and time:
my first....

you used to ride yer red and white dirt bike...
i'd hold yer jacket close to my heart so tight.
my mom woke me up, early said
"look what yer friends did to my front yard!"
it was me and my sisters, out my window...
there it was! there, baby! you peed my name in the snow!

i never wanted anything
the way i wanted you - that night.
my love transcended space and time...
i never wanted anything
the way i wanted you - that night.
my love transcended space and time..
my first:

(meet me in the school yard, after eight.
still grounded, i couldn't stay out late.
remember all the things you said...
in the back of that chevette:
when we were only fifteen?)

my daddy moved us to a big city:
yer smiling face, i never again did see: no more..
i wonder how you are, and i wonder if you think about me still.
would you guess what i'm doing? you and yer friends.
i want you to remember that you were my first...

[bif:] we are lucky to have something to eat:

"Only The Girl"

my love's an ice-cold latte
and it's running down yer shirt.
you took my little heart
and then ya threw it in the dirt!
i won't go near yer locker
and i cannot wash my hair.
i can't believe you betrayed me
and filled me with despair!!

i can't believe - horrible truth about you
because you lied to me.
i am only the girl who was in love with you
but, now you lied!

i have developed frog-eyes
from crying all the time.
i won't go out and skate with my friends,
i'll only stay inside.
you ran around, behind my back
with a pretty, blue-eyed girl.
i am so sick of missing you -
i think i'm gonna hurl!!

i can't believe - horrible truth about you
because you lied to me.
i am only the girl who was in love with you.
but, now you lied!

i can't believe you lied to me:
i can't believe you!

(i am only the girl who was in love with you)

i can't believe - horrible truth about you
because you lied to me
i am only the girl who was in love with you
but, now you lied to me...

[bif:] [sportin' the "x"s on her hands] self-discipline requires doing
what is necessary, when it should be done,
whether it iz a pleasant task or not. a straight-edge lifestyle is personal choice.
if my coffee consumption ain't straight-edge enough for you:
then **** me with a double, skim cappuccino!

[bif:] um: hellooooo!! get a ******* hold of yourself!!
no complaining!! are you starving?
no? then let's have a little perspective, shall we. see a therapist.
switch to decaf. lay off the pills.
try some stretching.
take five.
have a time out.
write it down.
make a painting.
have a hot bath.
quit hanging onto past hurts.
forgive all to get over all and get on with it!
puh-leeeze! develop some humor.
laugh it off.
yuk it up.
don't be mean.
karma is instant.
there is no coincidence.
live today. try - ok?

[bif:] [crying] ring pa ambulansen.

"Twitch"

i got a boyfriend. he's a bad boy.
he is my favorite. he is my joy.
i got a boyfriend. "danger boy!"
he's got a girlfriend. she is my toy!

sometimes he'll twitch for no reason,
it's just a twitch, and it's part of his style.
he tells me i'm his one and only
i'm the only one making him smile.

sometimes he'll twitch for no reason,
it's just a twitch, and it's part of his style
when he's feeling sad and lonely
i'm the only one driving him wild.

he really likes me. he likes my mom.
he buys me ice cream. he likes my song.
he's got a nice car. i buy his gas.
but in the back seat, he moves too fast!

sometimes he'll twitch for no reason,
it's just a twitch, and it's part of his style.
he tells me i'm his one and only
i'm the only one making him smile.

(my boyfriend's back and you're gonna get in trouble!)

sometimes he'll twitch for no reason,
it's just a twitch, and it's part of his style
when he's feeling sad and lonely
i'm the only one driving him wild.
