ONE NIGHT STAND

Guess you got my M.O. cause you never called me back
Yeah you always leave me hanging baby just enough to
set me in your trap
I'm thinking you could be it, yeah I'm thinking you're
the one
And I'm left here to wonder what it is that I have done
To deserve this kind of blankness, There's no response
at all
Does it mean you're afraid to love me
Or does it mean that you don't feel anything at all
Do you feel anything at all

Go Ahead tell your friends we had a one night stand
Tell em you were out of your head, Tell the you never
made it to my bed
Tell them whatever you want to make you feel OK
But don't try to tell me you didn't look in my eyes and
say
Don't let go of me

So ya got me thinking baby, yeah I'm thinking way too
much
You know you're driving me crazy with this 'I don't
wanna see you' stuff
So cmon give me something, something to go on
Cause I know somewhere inside you
you must believe there is a little something going on
There's a little somthing going on

Go Ahead tell your friends we had a one night stand
Tell them you were out of your head, Tell the you never
made it to my bed
Tell them whatever you want to make you feel OK
But don't try to tell me you didn't look in my eyes and
say
Don't let go of me
Don't you dare let go of me

Baby it's what it is
And you put the truth on paper
When you sent me that letter
You were asking for help
And so I tracked you down in Vegas
And I sent you flowers
Since then I haven't heard from you for hours

So, Go Ahead tell your friends we had a one night stand
Tell em you were out of your head, Tell them you never
made it to my bed
Tell them whatever you want to make you feel OK
But don't try to tell me you didn't look n my eyes
Don't tell me you didn't look in my eyes ...and say
Don't let go of me

So I have resorted to finish you through song
Your face is with me even when I leave the TV on
So I hope you get some sort of satisfaction from the
mess I am in
And I hope you never come running back to me again

ONE OF A KIND

Oh how sadness loves you
It has crawled in and covered up
And you protect it like a child
Something endangered and wild
But I've seen fear grow up
And firmly take hold
It hides inside a blanket
Man, misery is cold

Lightning does
Strike twice
People fall in love
All the time
We are not defined
By a price
'Cause everybody is
One of a kind

Oh how hatred waits
Over years without letting go
It is burrowed in and fed
And it's trying to pull you under into the deep end
But you are not on trial
So declare yourself free
And set fire to your devil
Tell him to find another tree

'Cause lightning does
Strike twice
And people fall in love
All the time
We are not defined
By a price
'Cause everybody is
Everybody is
One of a kind

So when your light's gone out
When there's no wax left
When you can't get up
Even lift your head
Stay inside the darkness
For as long as it takes
Stay till you adjust to it
Stay till you can see your hands in front of your face
Stay till you can see your hands in front of your face
Stay right there till you can see your hands in front of your face

Lightning does
Strike twice
People fall in love
All the time
Lightning does
Strike twice
People are fallin' in love
All the time
We are not defined
By a price
'Cause everybody is
Everybody is
One of a kind

One Year

After 4 months of talkin'
Without knowing how we'd kiss
I was holding on with everything
I changed my clothes three times before I left
Because I'd never been to Brooklyn
Except once in '91
And for some strange reason
I knew this wouldn't be the last
late night drive from Boston
You have my heart
And nothin' is gonna get in our way
So I pulled over
You stood up
And you wouldn't stop talkin'
So I put my finger on your mouth
And you took me to the park and we laid in the grass
touchin' toes
watchin' the kids play
red light, green light
red light, green light
You have my heart
r And nothin' is gonna get in our way
So after one year
So much has changed
All I thought I needed
Has been erased
Cause you have filled a space
That I never knew I had
Yeah, you make me feel
like the only show in town
You have my heart
And nothin' will get in our way
I said nothin' is gonna get in our way
Nothin' is gonna get in our way

PARTICULAR PLACE TO BE

well i'm lying here
just waiting
for the sun to arise and put
some light in my eyes
cuz it's a free day
it's a wee day
with no particular place to be

should we go and sit alone
where the water lives
and it never snows
wiht a love around me now
i could laugh or cry
live or die
and it would make no
difference to me
cuz i've got no particular place to be

so you pick up a stick
you slap the graveyard up
you run and trip and i
and i picked it up
cuz our hands touched
and our hearts dropped
and our mouths bend
and our bodies collide

yippee yippe yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
(weirdness here....)

so we go and sit alone
where the water lives and it never snows
with a love around me now
i could laugh or cry
live or die and
it would make no difference to me
cuz i've got no particulAr place to be

and i'm lying here
just waiting
for the sun to arise
and put some light in my eyes
cuz it's a free day
it's a wee day
with no particular place to be

REAL

You are the most important person to me
But I've been watching your light fade
And I can't seem to say anything
Without you pointing and yelling at me

But your house is on fire
I can see it from the end of the road
Your house is on fire
Everybody knows, every body knows

So come on take off that heavy, heavy...heavy coat
And just admit that its your life and you dont feel
like you can cope
'Cuz there are woman from our history who are living
underneath your skin
And the've been waiting for you to let go and finally
give in

But your house is on fire
I can see it from the end of the road
Your house is on fire
Everybody knows, everybody knows - yeah...your house is
on fire, is on fire

So ask the help of Jesus, ask the help of Allah
No one really cares how many skeletons are in your
closet
We will help you open up the windows
open up your heart now and let in fresh air
'Cuz all I see is smoke rising from your body
As you walk around here, you're working this party
with a smile on your face and a dagger in your hand
I'm throwing you a rope my friend
climb up, climb up, climb up here on dry land


But your house is on fire
I can see it from the end of the road
Your house is on fire
Everybody knows, every body knows

Rest Now

you wanted to be invisible
so you got on stage
away from the crowds
back doors and bars your favorite place
but singing is lonely
lonely is dark
but under those bright lights
you came alive
big eyes
small hands yes
you sang so beautiful
it made my heart hit the ground
bird on a wire
you're a man on the verge
you deserve
to rest now
rest now
rest now
nobody knows not even you
the depth of your sadness
why that chain is dragging you
you said it's best if we just listen to see ourselves
in the eyes of strangers
we will recognize
our own hotel vast horizon
big eyes
small hands
you sang so beautiful
it made my heart hit the ground
bird on a wire
you're a man on the verge
you deserve
to rest now
rest now
rest now
in the eyes of strangers we will recognize
our own hotel vast horizon

SELFISH SIDE

neverending endings I make up
my head is a dangerous place
cause I can think myself out of anything
change comes slow, I hate slow
rest, it's a constant
rest when you're dead, rest when you're dead they said
so I will rest when I'm dead

yeah cause my feet feel like the tightrope I walk
yeah it splits sanity at the eye (???)
and the self I've been obsessed with
well I just found out that it's just my selfish side
yeah it's just my selfish side

and you, you listen to my all
all of my guts my words spill over
to a great big landfill of lies
that I created so I don't feel like I'm over

yeah cause my feet feel like the tightrope I walk
yeah it splits sanity at the eye (???)
and the self I've been obsessed with
well I just found out that it's just my selfish side
yeah it's just my selfish side

I'll leave it all on the street in the winter
oh I'll leave it all in the leaves in the winter
I'll leave it all on the beach in the winter

my feet feel like the tightrope I walk
yeah it splits sanity at the eye (???)
and the self I've been obsessed with
well I just found out that it's just my selfish side
yeah it's just my selfish side

SHATTER ME

you got some kinda chip on your shoulder
you got the world on your back
walking around like everybody owes you something
like you're some kinda something else
but you've been building this wall of denial
for so long now it seems like there ain't no turning back
but soon enough it's going to come crumbling down
then you're gonna know what it feels like to be by
yourself
cause I will not, I will not let you shatter me
I will not let you shatter me

yeah you think you've been fooling me by saying you're ok
when inside I know there's so much anger you can't even
walk straight
so don't come crying to me baby when you finally decide
it's time to get some help
cause I've been trying to help you for so long now
and I have sacrificed enough of myself
and I will not, I will not let you shatter me
I will not let you shatter me

you may think I'm being greedy
well for once this might be the case
but I'm a bonafide independent superhero
and I tell you your truth right to your face
I tell you the truth right to your face
I will tell you the truth right to you face
you will not, I will not let you shatter
I will not, I will not let you shatter me

SKY ABOVE

Lay down now
Your mouth is mine
Put your arms around me
Let's stop this place and time
Your hands are on my face
There's nothing here
Nothing speaks here
But truth in this space

Sky above
Ground below
Your lips move
And my heart
Lets go

Night covers us
As we undress
The quiet is broken
But my heart shooting through
My chest
My legs are heavy, my eyes
Wide awake
I want nothin' else out of life
But you in this place

Sky above
Ground below
Your lips move
And my heart
Lets go

The heart take over
And I lose myself
You reach over and say
"Hold on to me hold on to no one else
I promise you all of my love"
So I take a deep breath
And wish upon a stars death

Sky above
Ground below
You whisper to me
"You know this is the real thing"
N' I look in your eyes
N' say "Babe I know"

SOME KIND OF NERVE

Youve got some kind of nerve
Coming back here for more
Like im just going drop everything im doing
So you can humiliate me a little more
Youve got some kind of nerve
You got some kind of ego
Yeah for looking at me like that
Like your eyes are going to make me crawl back to you
Like what am I supposed to do now, just forgive you?
But baby im done
Im done with you
Yeah baby im done
Im finally done with you
So if you think that you might have made some sort of
mistake
In leaving me
Well guess what
Youre too late
You got some kind of mouth
For talking to me like that
Bragging about your Hollywood friends
Like that's going make me want you again
Makes me think you know that you never even knew me
Makes me understand
That the whole time it was you
Just using me
But baby im done
Im done with you
Yeah baby im done
Im finally done with you
So if you think that you might have made some sort of
mistake
In leaving me
Well guess what
Youre too late
Im done with you
Yeah baby im done
Im finally done with you
So if you think that you might have made some sort of
mistake
In leaving me
Well guess what
Too late
Your too late
Your too late
Your too late
