"You Are The Master"

I am tied up in the burning sun.
Baby, you are my only shade.
You're the bowl of water beyond my reach.
I can only move the distance of this chain.
I chew anything you will give me.
Eat anything, even my own words.
Scramble for any morsel you throw,
you scatter hope like scraps of food.

I guess you are the master.
I am the dog.
I am the dog.
Waiting for you to love me.

I am jumping on you for affection.
I would love to lick your face.
You scold me, you push me off.
I'm your loyal bitch, a man's best friend.
I lie here and lick my wounds,
from my little bed of wishes.
I run to you in my dreams.
I pine for you in my life.

I guess you are the master.
I am the dog.
I am the dog.
Waiting for you to love me.

I have no sense of time at all.
Twenty minutes or twenty years,
it's all the same.
I am your muse, you are my muse,
broken hearts.
Baby please show me some mercy,
don't put me down.

I guess you are the master.
I am the dog.
I am the dog.
Waiting for you to love me.

"Regular Guy"

Let me tell ya about the kinda guys that like me:
They're in jail.
Either that, or they are slumming...
or walking on the wild side.
I guess you could say I'm just like Jody Watley,
"Looking for a new love."
I don't think I'm asking for much in a boyfriend...
Here's what I want:

I'm just looking for
a four-eyes-really-square regular guy,
just like you.
Wouldn't it be cool?
Couldn't it be you?
Wouldn't it be cool?
Couldn't it be you?

I'm just looking for
a four-eyes-really-square regular guy,
just like you.
Wouldn't it be cool?
Couldn't it be you?
Wouldn't it be cool?
Couldn't it be you?
Please, be you! c'mon...

Let me tell ya about the kina guy I look for:
Ticklish.
And, he likes cherry popsicles.
He likes sno-cones.
He rides BMX.
I want a boy who can lie in bed all day with me,
holding hands.
I don't think I'm asking for much in a boyfriend.
Here's what I want:

I'm just looking for
a four-eyes-really-square regular guy,
just like you.
Wouldn't it be cool?
Couldn't it be you?
Wouldn't it be cool?
Couldn't it be you?

I'm just looking for
a four-eyes-really-square regular guy,
just like you.
Wouldn't it be cool?
Couldn't it be you?
Wouldn't it be cool?
Couldn't it be you?
Please, be you

"Hold On"

Baby, I'm angry.
Baby, I'm scared.
We're living in a dark time.
And nobody cares.
Baby, I'm tired.
Life isn't fair.
You are the only one,
who will always be there.

Hold on, to me.
Say you'll always love me.
Tell me anything, you want.
Hold on, baby.
Say you'll never leave me.
Promise that you will hold on.

Baby, I'm sorry.
I don't mean to cry.
But, I never needed you more,
than I need you tonight.

Hold on, to me.
Say you'll always love me.
Tell me anything, you want.
Hold on, baby.
Say you'll never leave me.
Promise that you will hold on.

I'm a small honeybee.
I drown in the water.
You are my hand in the well, weeelll...

Hold on, to me.
Say you'll always love me.
Tell me anything, you want.
Hold on, baby.
Say you'll never leave me.
Promise that you will hold on.

"Story Of My Life"

Our love was volatile and weird.
All I thought as I hopped the Grayhound was,
"Get me the fuck outa here."
I ran...
I ran away from you.
Packed my tears and all my fears.
I had nothing better to do.

Mommy,
Mommy, I know you know the truth.
I'm sorry that you're heartbroken.
Now, all I am is missing you.
And, when I left
I dropped a trail of candy hearts,
hoping you would wait for me...
I just want, to come home tonight.
This is the story of my life.

One week,
shouldn't have even been one day.
I am calling from a payphone,
twenty three hundred miles away.
Bad things I can not even say.
If not for the kindess of strangers,
I would not be alive today.

Mommy,
Mommy, I know you know the truth.
I'm sorry that you're heartbroken.
Now, all I am is missing you.
And, when I left
I dropped a trail of candy hearts,
hoping you would search for me...
I just want, to come home tonight.
This is the story of my life.

"Religion"

Suck my mouth.
Suck my pain away.
Helplessness,
I am hard to stain.
Potentially inappropriate...

I am naked,
before you.
Look at me.
You came for me.
I pray to you.
You are in me...

You are my religion.
You are my religion.
I'm loving you.
You're loving me.
You are my religion.
You are my religion.
I'm touching you.
You're touching me...

Intoxicated with your breath.
My eyes close,
I am a mess.
Starving and cold and I need your love...

You keep me real.
You lift me up.
Prayer soft,
I am in love.
Devotee of your immortal love.

Brutal truth.
It is profound.
Can you hear the sound,
of my breath?

You are my religion.
You are my religion.
I'm loving you.
You're loving me.
You are my religion.
You are my religion.
I'm touching you.
You're touching me.

"Abandonment"

Well you packed me away in the trunk of your car.
You drove me so fast and so far.
I tried to fight but its so hard.
The only momento is this scar.

[Chorus]
Where were you when i needed you?
Somethings missing, and I can't breathe.
Where were you? Where were you?
Somethings missing.
You abandoned me.

Oh when you look deep into my mind.
That is so tired and weak from this life.
On the verge of fear all the time.
I feel like you left me here to die.

[Chorus]

Shaking in my boots, you shook me down.
You really took me down.
Shaking my foundation, not to be found.
Never to be found.

Where were you? Where were you?
You abandoned me.
You abandoned me.
You abandoned me.

"Let Down"

Ain't had a job in about a year.
Living down in my parents basement.
I wish that I could get outta here!
Sometimes I think I need a vacation!

Can't get my mother off my back.
She don't have far to go to drive me crazy.
Someday the bitch is gonna make me crack!
Might be the last time she calls me lazy!

[Chorus]
I'm a let down!
Pardon me! If I'm a let down
To my family!
I'm a let down!
1-2-3 I'm a let down!
Are you like me?

And now my sister's got a fancy car.
I got a piece of shit from 1980.
But, at least, I got my two guitars
And a one-way ticket to nowhere baby!

[Chorus]

Oh! No! No! Now, I've got a dream.
They don't understand, It won't be long.
I'm not what I seem.
See I've got a plan..
THATS RIGHT!

[Chorus]

Sometime, they act like I don't exist.
Or else they treat me like I'm still eleven.
Heaven knows I can't take more of this.
I never thought I'd be 27..
And a let down!

[Chorus]

"Everyday"

Something I've been wanting to say to you.
Are you sitting down?
Pretty soon, there will be a day,
when I won't be around.

I'm not trying to scare you
or play with your sympathy.
Just want to remind you
that life is a symphony.

[Chorus]
Everyday, live it like it's your last one.
Ever kiss, kiss it like it's your first love.
If i had one wish; then I would wish
that you would live today like
Everyday, Everyday is your last one.

People always rushing around,
wasting time on money.
Don't be just a face in the crowd.
Getting high and running from something.
I'm not trying to tell you what to do.
In the end, it's up to you.

[Chorus]

Dip your feet into the ocean.
Let the sun beat on your skin.
Soak in every emotion,
that you never thought you'd live.
And never take for granted,
every breath you're breathing in.
Go everywhere you've never been,

[Chorus]

"Yeah, You"

Now that I've got you alone,
there's something I wanna say.
A seceret I have kept awhile.
But it feels right and I feel safe.

[Pre-Chorus]
I know I am right.
I know this is the night.

[Chorus]
Yeah, you; Making mecome all undone.
Yeah, you; You have become,
the only one I will ever love.

Now that I've given myself,
is tehre something that you wanna say?
Without you, I'd be unwell.
And it seems right and I feel safe.

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

"That's Life"

I like babytalking, popcorn without butter,
and anybody who will pay attention
to these requirements.

I'm an optimistic beauty. Never impolite.
Easy like Saturday, mid-day.
Breezy, chilled-out, dumb girl.

[Chorus]
Thats life with me. I know.
Around and around you will go.
But, if I french kiss you
in the broad daylight,
you'll fall in love..oh,oh,oh.
That's life with me. I know.

Well I am pretending to be a free-bouncing lover.
I wear my defensive mask of optimism like a badge.
And ultimately. I am much to lazy to change.
I'm rather conditioned to my life of melodrama.

[Chorus]

That's life with me. Thats how it will be, my friend.
A roller coaster ride you won't forget.
I am just a mess. I am just a mess, at best.
I am just a blue-ribbon prize winner till the end.

[Chorus]
