Beauty Wild and Curious
09:02
|
|||
got something to tell you
but I’m lost inside the words
must be pearls of wisdom
‘cause I’m a fool in this perfect world
thing of beauty wild and curious
who may yet survive the night
I am far too weak for wondering
if your living heart could love me right
cocaine is wasabi
but wine is the thought of love
needing calls the needle
and letter A hides the blood
thing of beauty wild and curious
who may yet survive the night
I am far too weak for wondering
if your living heart could love me right
father mother
whoever made this
template of
desire
I’ll own my own
but forgive my daughter
this legacy
of fire
thing of beauty wild and curious
who may yet survive the night
I am far too weak for wondering
if your living heart could love me right

Sex Wind Dream
06:04
|

I can’t stop dreaming’
little girl I’m so full of big
buildings and
strangers and wishes
wanna have a home but the
wind sees through me
sex, wind, flood of tearing
there is no island continent
safe from the weather of my soul
seven years ago I crawled up
your shore
rescued from a sea of desire
I got fat in the lee of your smile
but tornados still pass through
Wichita
how can I be your mother?
how can I be your wife?
when I am so imperfect
that the wind sees through me
the wind sees right through me
sex, wind, flood of tearing
there is no island continent
safe from the weather of my soul
thought I was done with tragedy
only sang about the past
mending and perfecting the
sails of my youth
but the wind is singing, right now
sex, wind, flood of tearing
there is no island continent
safe from the weather of my soul

hey hey hey
baby you don’t have to stay
baby I don’t have to have you
that way
it’s o k
baby sex is all it is
and baby I don’t have to have
you that way
all I wanted to do
was to see your face in my mind
and baby I don’t have to touch
you
to know I’m gonna kiss your
soul tonight
I’m not play-
in’ with you
I am sin-cere
when I say I don’t need
nothin’ from you
baby I don’t need nothin’
Keep your faith
baby you don’t
have to say you love me
just the fact that
you’re here with me
is all you have to say
cuz
all I wanted to do
was to see your face in my mind
and baby I don’t have to touch
you
to know I’m gonna kiss your
soul tonight
if you stay
I’m afraid I may
consume you
if we touch
I cannot promise not to
burn you)
all I wanted to do
was to see your face in my mind
and baby I don’t have to touch
you
to know I’m gonna kiss your
soul tonight
hey hey little schoolgirl
can I come home with you?
tell your momma n your poppa
I’m a little schoolboy too
I said “my, my,” like a spider to a fly

Cinderella's Sister
05:06
|
|||
you don’t have to feel sorry
anymore
you don’t have to keep secret
the poems of your bright-as-
day existence
it’s for you
to come forward
you can have love (or anything
you want)
it’s for you
this whole city
you can have love (or anything
you want)
(it’s for you)
you don’t have to be rescued
anymore
you don’t have to kneel down
like a victim to the religion
of revenge
you don’t have to pretend
anymore
you don’t have to prove your
goodness to the 4 walls & the
door
it’s for you
to come forward
you can have love (or anything
you want)
it’s for you
this whole city
you can have love (or anything
you want)
(it’s for you)
cinderella’s sister
don’t cut off your toe
be glad that the shoe don’t fit you
let the prince thing go
it’s for you
to come forward
you can have love (or anything
you want)
it’s for you
this whole city
you can have love (or anything
you want)
(it’s for you)

You're in Love
05:28
|
|||
why do you lie
and hide like a spider
inside your eyes?
why do you spy
on yourself through the windows
of a million-story hi-rise?
you’re in love
and you don’t know why
why do you try
to erase all the traces
of the mess you’re in?
why do you fight
at the moment of stillness
when the sentence ends
you’re in love
and you don’t know why

day after day
tho’ I try to walk away
I keep seeing’ you
around
I keep wantin’ to touch you
I keep wanting’ to kiss you
wanting’ you to stay
just another tiny minute
just another tiny second
just another tiny—tiny—
’til I wrap my arms
around
you
around you
you
around you
you you you…
year after year
tho’ you’re always
right here…
you
around you
you
around you
you you you…

Waitin' for Ya Baby
03:14
|

waiting’ for ya baby
waiting’ for ya baby
like a fox waits for a hen
like a woman waits for a man
waiting’ for ya baby
waiting’ for ya baby
like the moon waits for the sun
sure as the circle I am you will
come
waiting’ for ya baby
waiting’ for ya baby
like the mountain waits for the
sea
you don’t know but you’re
waiting’ for me
like a fox I will eat you
like the moon I will fill my
curves with your light
like a mountain I will reach you
with the fingers of my rivers I
will touch you tonight
waiting’ for ya baby
waiting’ for ya baby
waiting’ for ya baby
waiting’ for ya baby

I. BORN
II. MADRIGAL
III. IS THIS THE WAY
is this the way to your house?
is this the way to your house?
can I walk up the stairs?
are we half way there?
can I follow you
all the way?
can I follow you
all the way?
will you stick me in a dungeon?
and I can’t come out
tell me there’s no earth or sky
leave me no doubt?
can I follow you
all the way?
can I follow you
all the way?
show me the pinpoint stars
and the meanings of myths
meet me in heaven
after we’re through with all this
can I follow you
all the way?
can I follow you
all the way?
is this the way to your house?
is this the way to your house?
IV. BASS LANDSCAPE
(6 chords)
V. WHO CAN I RUN TO?
who can I run to?
who can I tell my story to?
why don’t they listen?
why don’t they want to hear the
truth?
VI. GUITAR LANDSCAPE
(12 chords)
VII. BLOOD
blood on the pavement
blood in my eyes
I see blood drivin’ you lover
driving’ blind
light in the distance
light in my mind
if I thought I could reach you
lover
I would shine
your way
shine your
shine your way
shine your way in darkest dark
and you would finally find your way
pain, I’m gonna leave you
I’m leavin’ you behind
my own little baby she’s callin’
me now
she’s callin’ me to shine
and I will shine her way
shine her
shine her way
shine her way in darkest dark
and I will finally find my way
