I met you at JC Penney
I think your nametag said "Jenny"
I coldstep to you with a fresh pack of gum
Somehow I knew you were lookin' for some
Like a fruit that's ripe for the pickin'
I wouldn't do you like that, Zankou Chicken
'Cos only you've got a thing
That I just got to get with
I just got to get, get with you
And you know what we're gonna do

I wanna get with you
Oh girl, and your sister
I think her name's Debra

Girl, I only wanna be there with you
Cause you got something that I just to get with

I pick you up late at night after work
I said "Lady, step inside my Hyundai"
I'm gonna take you up to Glendale, yeah
Gonna take you for a real good meal

'Cos when our eyes did meet
Girl you know I was packin' heat
Ain't no use in wastin' no time gettin' to know each other, you know the deal
'Cos only you got a thing
That I just got to get with, got to get with
I just got to get with you girl

It's been a while since I've seen you smile
But now you've come back again
Came into the room and you saw my girl
And you asked her how long it's been
"A year" she said and you shook your head
Said "I'm surprised it's gone on that long"

Baby, Baby, Baby Bitch
For words I am at a loss
Baby, Baby, Baby Bitch
I'm better now please fuck off

What else you gonna say when while you're back
on your stay
Maybe something, maybe nothing, we'll see
It's just too bad, you're beautiful I guess
I wasn't for you and you weren't for me

Baby, Baby, Baby Bitch
Please slip back into yourself
Baby, Baby, Baby Bitch
Go conquer someone else

People say, "How beautiful, how sweet, how kind"
You're perfect, you've got nothing to hide
But I, for one, have seen the sun
And the bitch that you've locked up inside

Got fat, got angry, started hating myself
Wrote "Birthday Boy" for you babe
Now I'm skinny and sick and paranoid
Without a cent to my name

Baby, Baby, Baby Bitch
Fuck you, you stinkin' ass ho
Most beauty I've seen
you come from a dream
But I can't close my eyes anymore
No, I can't close my eyes anymore

Wake me up when it's over,
Wake me up when it's done,
...

Wake me up when the skies are clearing,
When the water is still,
...

If it were any other day,
This wouldn't get the best of me.

But today I'm not so strong,
So lay me down with a sad song,
And when it stops then you know I've been,
Gone too long.

But don't shake me awake,
Don't bend me or I will break,
Come find me somewhere between my dreams,
With the sun on my face.

I will still feel it later on,
But for now I'd rather be asleep.

You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care

I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are

I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
Oh, but what will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you?

I said I love you, that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I couldn't love you any better
I love you just the way you are

I was staring at the sky
Just looking for a star
To pray on or wish on
Or something like that
I was having a sweet fix
Of a daydream of a boy
Whose reality, I knew,
Was a hopeless to be had
But then the dove of hope
Began its downward slope
And I believed for a moment that
My chances were
Approaching to be grabbed
But as it came down near,
So did a weary tear
I thought it was a bird,
But it was just a paper bag

Hunger hurts,
And I want him so bad, oh it kills
'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold
Hunger hurts but starvin' works
When it costs too much to love

And I went crazy again today
Looking for a strand to climb
Looking for a little hope
Baby said he couldn't stay
Wouldn't put his lips to mine
A fail to kiss is a fail to cope
I said, "Honey, I don't feel so good,
Don't feel justified.
Come on put a little love here in my void"
He said "It's all in your head"
And I said "So's everything"
But he didn't get it
I thought he was a man
But he was just a little boy

Will miss us when we're gone
We can never move on
So like lonely ghosts at a roadside cross

I can be an asshole of the grandest kind
I can withhold like it's going out of style
I can be the moodiest baby and you've never met anyone
Who is as negative as I am sometimes

I am the wisest woman you've ever met
I am the kindest soul with whom you've connected
I have the bravest heart that you've ever seen and you've never met anyone
Who is as positive as I am sometimes

You see everything you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can't relate
And you're still here

I blame everyone else, not my own partaking
My passive aggressiveness can be devastating
I'm terrified and mistrusting and you've never met anyone
Who is as closed down as I am sometimes

You see everything you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can't relate
And you're still here

What I resist persists and speaks louder than I know
What I resist you, love, no matter how low or high I go

I am the funniest woman that you've ever known
I am the dullest woman that you've ever known
I'm the most gorgeous woman that you've ever known and you've never met anyone
Who is as everything as I am sometimes

You see everything you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can't relate

Wet it, mold it, bend it, hard it, never dwindle
That's called longevity, different than what U read and see on T.V.
So hey if you listenin' and your wishin' for a U like me

I'm checking you out, you're all alone
No one is clocking you, but I'm scoping you
Staring right thru you, staring into you
Your beauty is endless and I'm hoping to explore
Brothers may say you're ugly but I disagree
But in a way that's fine with me
'cause I want to travel with you
Travel in your mind 'cause you seem like a virgin
Free as the wind blows, tall as a tree grows
Wild like nature, yet calm as a field
Hair is natural, lips are natural
Face wins first place, you appeal to me, girl
Let me ask you for some time
for you to unwind together et cetera
I have nothing but pure intentions
Everything we'll be will be natural

Natural. Natural.

I'd like to hold your waist as we chase
The wind down the shores of a southern ocean
Rub my fingers thru your hair
Slowly rub and caress your forehead and bare
our problems, as we lay on the bed called Earth
Holding hands 'till we touch each and every finger
as the ocean water wets us both
in the center of the crossroads
Spiritual bonds are connected...what...an erection
Well...Let's drive to the city
and walk among the lights of the city streets
You're making me weak and it's scary
'cause you've played no games
All you've been is very natural
That's why I'm scared to fall in love with you

Move yourself
You always live your life
Never thinking of the future
Prove yourself
You are the move you make
Take your chances win or loser

...

There's no real reason to be lonely
Be yourself
Give your free will a chance
You've got to want to succeed

...

After my own indecision
They confused me so
My love said never question your will at all
In the end you've got to go
Look before you leap
And don't you hesitate at all

...

Sooner or later each conclusion
Will decide the lonely heart
It will excite it will delight
It will give a better start

Don't deceive your free will at all
Just receive it

My friends and I meet hours before
We make some homemade pizza
We do some funny bits back and forth
My knees buckle, I laugh so hard

We might end three sheets to wind and who
knows where we'll wind up
All I know is there's a car waiting and
we'll figure that out after

I have to keep my eye on my old friend from
high school
We've known each other for the longest time
She has trouble with her limits so to speak
She can hoist a really good kick in the butt
when she's excited
She doesn't do it so much anymore cuz we're
all on to her

Then there's my other pretty friend from high school
The predator in me is put to shame by the
predator in her
I know I've reeled it in but it'll be interesting
to see how much she's done as well

Then there's my friend from Chigago, God do
I love all people from Chicago
All ready to light up the barbeque and be the
heartbeat of debauchery

Then there's my Canadian friend, what a
fabulous mom she's become
She's been tortured in this sense for the last
many of months for obvious reasons
She was like "hey, where was this part of you when
I wasn't pregnant?"
I laughed and did a shot in her honor as I
conversed with her belly

Then there's my cupid friend
She sure knows how to dress, that one
She's a wise and worldly girl but you gotta
watch that medication
Our favorite beverage is taken to a whole other
level on it
I'm not worried about her, I'll coast around
the room while I trust she'll temper

My brother came to visit me, now he's used to
hanging with me and cracking up
But he had no idea about my built up tolerance,
no idea about how manipulative I'd become
I would surreptitiously put it in front of him
without him asking
In a pretty little shot glass
His smirk and cackle would only egg me on

Bring on the tequila ohhhhhh
On fire on tequila ohhhhhh
Hostess most on tequila ohhhhhh
Bestest friends on tequila ohhhhhh.

Are you comfortable in it?

Or is it the bars on your prison?
Are you gagged by your ribbons?
Are you really exclusive or just miserly?
You spend every sentence as if it was marked currency!
Come and spend some on me —
Shut me up and talk to me!
I'm always talking!

Nothing's so loud
As hearing when we lie
The truth is not kind
And you've said neither am I

And the air outside, so soft
Is saying everything.
Everything.

All I want is to feel this way
To be this close, to feel the same
All I want is to feel this way
The evening speaks, I feel it say.

Nothing's so cold
As closing the heart when all we need
Is to free the soul
But we wouldn't be that brave I know

And the air outside, so soft
Confessing everything.
Everything.

All I want is to feel this way
To be this close, to feel the same
All I want is to feel this way
The evening speaks, I feel it say

And it won't matter now
Whatever happens will be
Though the air speaks
Of all we'll never be
It won't trouble me

All I want is to feel this way
To be this close, to feel the same
All I want is to feel this way
The evening speaks, I feel it say

Some kind of trouble; some kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was

I think it's because I'm clumsy
I try not to talk too loud
Maybe it's because I'm crazy
I try not to act too proud

They only hit until you cry
And after that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore

Yes I think I'm okay

Well, if you ask that's what I'll say
And it's not your business anyway

Especially to members of your family
We best keep this to ourselves
And not tell any members of our inner posse

Ooh this could be messy
Ooh I don't seem to mind
Ooh don't go telling everybody

No one knows except the both of us
And I have honored your request for silence
And you've washed your hands clean of this

The crime was looking up truth
And as the bombshells of my daily fears explode
I try to trace them to my youth

And then you had to bring up reincarnation
Over a couple of beers the other night
And now I'm serving time for mistakes
Made by another in another lifetime

How long 'til my soul gets it right?
Can any human being ever reach that kind of light?
I call on the resting soul, of Galileo
King of night vision, king of insight

When it's love I can always tell
Love for me is the best thing now
It's something that I know so well

Hold me closer and every minute
Of every hour, feel the power of love, yeah
Hold me tighter and take me higher
And feel the fire of the power of love

Did you know that your feelings show
You thought your love was locked up inside
But when your senses start to overload
Love is something you should never hide

You've got to believe in love
It's a feeling that's next to none
Can't stop until we are one
With the power of love

Twice as cloudy as I'd been the night before
And I went in seeking clarity

Pointing me in a crooked line
The less I seek my source for some definitive

Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching, but

Sometimes I think that you'll never
Understand me

Put your tiny hand in mine

I will be the one who loves you
Until the end of time

If you are the desert ,I'll be the sea
If you ever hunger, hunger for me
Whatever you ask for, that's what I'll be

So when you remember the ones who have lied
Who said that they cared
But then laughed as you cried
Beautiful Darling
Don't think of me
Because all I ever wanted
It's in your eyes baby, baby
And love can't lie, no...

Between white and black, night and day
Black night seemed like the only way...
So I danced

Music late, nothing great
No way 2 differentiate

Gregory looks just like a ghost
And then a beautiful girl the most
Wets her lips 2 say

We could live 4 a little while

She walked into my room
When I was all alone
She told me I would date her from
September 'til December
She doesn't know
Things will never be the same again
She'll always be seventeen
That girl has love

She kept all the pain inside
Now she has got nothing to hide

Conjured this tempestuous rage
Created you a monster
Broken by the rules of love

With apparitions of your soul
I'm ever swiftly moving
Trying to escape this desire

Of existing for only you

Black coffee's not enough for me, I need a better friend
One pill at the bottom is singing my favorite song
I know I must investigate
I hope that I can sing along

There's no time for metaphors cried the little pill to me
He said, "Life is a placebo masquerading as a simile"*
Well, I knew that pill was lying
Too gregarious, too nice
But as he walked I had to sing this twice

"Hello Butterfly," a voice said.
Slip on some duds, comb out your fro,
and slide on down to my pad
The vibe here is very pleasant and I truly request your presence.
A problem of great magnitude has arose
And as we speak it grows.
Damn, what could it be I thought.
A juice I bought, and rolled on down to her pad
Seeing bros i know, slapping fives
I arrived and pressed G-5.
And there was Nikki
Lookin' some kind of sad with tears fallin' from her eyes.
She sat me down
And dug my frown and began to run it down.
"You remember my boyfriend Sid, that fly kid who I love?"
Well our love was often a verb
and spontaneity has brought a third.
But do to our youth and economic state,
we wish to terminate
About this we don't feel great, but baby that's how it is.

I am sitting in the morning
At the diner on the corner
I am waiting at the counter
For the man to pour the coffee

And he fills it only halfway
And before I even argue
He is looking out the window
At somebody coming in

"It is always nice to see you"
Says the man behind the counter
To the woman who has come in
She is shaking her umbrella

And I look the other way
As they are kissing their hellos
I'm pretending not to see them
And instead I pour the milk

I open up the paper
There's a story of an actor
Who had died while he was drinking
It was no one I had heard of

And I'm turning to the horoscope
And looking for the funnies
When I'm feeling someone watching me
And so I raise my head

There's a woman on the outside
Looking inside
Does she see me?
No she does not really see me
Cause she sees her own reflection

And I'm trying not to notice
That she's hitching up her skirt
And while she's straightening her stockings
Her hair is getting wet

Oh, this rain it will continue
Through the morning as I'm listening
To the bells of the cathedral
I am thinking of your voice...

And of the midnight picnic
Once upon a time
Before the rain began...

I finish up my coffee
It's time to catch the train

I walk along the city streets you used to walk along with me
And every step I take reminds me of just how we used to be

Well how can I forget you girl,
When there is always something there to remind me?
...
I was born to love her and I will never be free,
You'll always be a part of me.

I let the beast in too soon
I don't know how to live without my hand on his throat
I fight him always and still
Oh darling it's so sweet
You think you know how crazy
How crazy I am
You say you don't spook easy
You won't go, but I know
And I pray that you will

Fast as you can
Baby run, free yourself of me
Fast as you can

I may be soft in your palm
But I'll soon grow hungry for a fight
And I will not let you win
My pretty mouth will frame the phrases that will
Disprove your faith in man
So if you catch me trying to find my way into your
Heart from under your skin

Fast as you can
Baby scratch me out, free yourself
Fast as you can

Welcome to station WEFUNK, better known as We-Funk,
Or deeper still, the Mothership Connection.
Home of the extraterrestrial brothers,
Dealers of funky music.
P.Funk, uncut funk, The Bomb.

Coming to you directly from the Mothership
Top of the Chocolate Milky Way,
500,000 kilowatts of P.Funk-power.
So kick back, dig, while we do it to you in your eardrums.
And me? I'm known as Lollipop Man,
alias the Long-Haired Sucker.
My motto is:

Make my funk the P.Funk
I want my funk uncut
Make my funk the P.Funk
I wants to get funked up.
I want the bomb,
I want the P.Funk

WEFUNK, y'all.
Now this is what I want you all to do:
If you got faults, defects or shortcomings,
You know, like arthritis, rheumatism or migraines,
Whatever part of your body it is,
I want you to lay it on your radio,
let the vibes flow through.
Funk not only moves, it can re-move, dig?
The desired effect is what you get
When you improve your Interplanetary Funksmanship.
Sir Lollipop Man! Chocolate coated, freaky and and habit forming.
Doin' it to you in 3-D,
So groovy that I dig me.
Once upon a time called Now!
Somebody say, "Is there funk after death?"
I say, "Is Seven Up?"

Worlds are turning and we're just hanging on
Facing our fear and standing out there alone
A yearning, and it's real to me
There must be someone who's feeling for me

Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
...
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?

I could light the night up with my soul on fire
I could make the sun shine from pure desire
Let me feel that love come over me
Let me feel how strong it could be

The photograph on the dashboard
Taken years ago
Turned around backwards so the windshield shows
Every street light reveals a picture in reverse
Still its so much clearer

You I thought I knew you
You I can not judge
You I thought you knew me
This one laughing quietly
Underneath my breath

You were the best I'd ever had
If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago

You can trust me not to think
And not to sleep around
And if you don't expect too much from me
You might not be let down.

Sittin' over here
Starin' in your face
With lust in my eyes
Sure don't give a damn and
Ya don't know
That I've been dreamin' of ya in my fantasy
Never once you looked at me,
Don't even realize that I'm wantin' you
To fulfill my needs
Think what you want
Let your mind free
Run free to a place that no one dares to

How many nights I've laid in bed excited over you
I've closed my eyes and thought of us,
A hundred different ways
I've gotten there so many times
I wonder how 'bout you
Day and night, night and day
All I've got to say is

If I was your girl
Oh the things I'll do to you
I'd make you call out my name
I'd ask who it belongs to
If I was your women,
The things I'd do to you
But I'm not, so I can't,
Then I won't
But, if I was your girl

Allow me some time to play with your mind
And you'll get there again and again
Close your eyes and imagine my body undressed
Take your time, we've got all night
You on the rise as you're touchin' my thighs
And let me know what you like
If you like, I'll go down
Da down down down da down down
I'll hold you in my hand and baby

Your smooth and shiny feels so good against my lips, sugar
I want you so bad I can taste your love
Right now, baby
Day and night, night and day
All I've got to say is

Chorus (x2)

I've laid in bed excited over you
One hundred different ways I've thought of
Many, Maaaaaannnnny
All I want to say is

(Chorus til end)

My dick need no introduction
Your dick don't even function
My dick served a whole lunch-in
Your dick- it look like a munchkin

My dick- size of a pumpkin
Your dick look like Macaulay Culkin
My dick- good good lovin'
Your dick- good for nothin'

My dick bench pressed 350
Your dick couldn't shoplift at Thrifty
My dick- pretty damn skimpy
Your dick- hungry as a hippie

My dick don't fit down the chimney
Your dick is like a kid from the Philippines
My dick is like an M16
Your dick- broken vending machine

My dick parts the seas
Your dick farts and queefs
My dick- rumble in the jungle
Your dick got touched by your uncle

My dick goes to yoga
Your dick- fruit roll-up
My dick- grade-A beef
Your dick- Mayday geek

My dick- sick and dangerous
Your dick- quick and painless
My dick- 'nuff said.
Your dick loves Fred

It's time that we let the world know
Dude, you gotta let your girl go
D.S. is the best in the business
P.S. we got dicks like Jesus

I was thinking that I might fly today
Just to disprove all the things that you say
It doesn't take a talent to be mean
Your words can crush things that are unseen
So please be careful with me, I'm sensitive
And I'd like to stay that way

You always tell me that it’s Impossible
To be respected, and be a girl
Why's it gotta be so complicated
Why you gotta tell me if I'm hated

I have this theory, that if we told were bad
Then that's the only Idea we’ll ever have
But maybe if we are surrounded in beauty
Someday we will become what we see
Cause anyone can start a conflict
It's harder yet to disregard it
I'd rather see the world from another angle
We are everyday angels

Everybody on the block say it is the best
The most vital is what they say - more or less
It put my name upon my thigh
It make me dance, it make me cry
And when I touch it,
racecars burn rubber in my pants (Oh)

This feeling's so good in every single way
I want it morning, noon and night of every day
And if by chance I cannot have it - I can't say
But with it I know heaven's just a kiss away, kiss away

Dig me now
Anyone that's ever touched it,
they don't want nothing else.
No they don't.
And I got 2 tell the world, I just can't keep it 2 myself. (No)
All in life becomes easier,
No question is unresolved and I'm not afraid now.
Come on and touch it, I know U will love it.
With it I know heaven's a butterfly kiss away.
...
(Alright)
2night we make love with only words
Girls first, girls first

OK, so like first
I will start by telling U how smart and
intelligent a curve your behind has.
And then I can tell U that I can just smell U
And racecars burn rubber in my pants.
But I really dig trippin' on the thought of being caught
By somebody with your beauty, style and grace.
Baby, I don't care
I would rip out my hair 4 just 2 nights with your face.
I don't wanna make love 2 U,
I just wanna look at U,
I just wanna listen 2 U, uh, uh.

Oh, pretty little whip, U got me drippin'
Drippin' all over the floor, the floor.
If I come back as a woman,
I want a body like yours, a body like yours.
...
U want me 2 swivel in your love seat
D-don't U, baby?
U want me 2 write my name on your walls
U want me 2 write my name on...

We make love with only words
I'll make love 2 U...2morrow
Sweet dreams

It's funny that way, you can get used
To the tears and the pain
What a child will believe
You never loved me

You can't hurt me now
I got away from you, I never thought I would
You can't make me cry, you once had the power
I never felt so good about myself

Seems like yesterday
I lay down next to your boots and I prayed
For your anger to end
Oh Father I have sinned

Maybe someday
When I look back I'll be able to say
You didn't mean to be cruel
Somebody hurt you too

There's something in the way she moves,
Or looks my way, or calls my name,
That seems to leave this troubled world behind.
If I'm feeling down and blue,
Or troubled by some foolish game,
She always seems to make me change my mind.
...
Every now and then the things I lean on lose their meaning,
And I find myself convening
In places where I should not let me go.
She has the power to go where no one else can find me,
Yes, and to silently remind me
Of the happiness and good times that I know
But I said I just got to know them

It isn't what she's got to say
Or how she thinks or where she's been.
To me, the words are nice, the way they sound.
I like to hear them best that way
It doesn't much matter what they mean,
Well she says them mostly just to calm me down.

And I feel fine anytime she's around me now,
She's around me now
Almost all the time.
If I'm well you can tell that she's been with me now,
And she's been with me now
Quite a long, long time
And I feel fine.

It's alright to make mistakes
You're only human
Inside everybody's hiding something

Staring at the same four walls
Have you tried to help yourself?
The rings around your eyes, they don't hide
That you need to get some rest

It's alright to make mistakes
You're only human
Inside everybody's hiding something

Take time to catch your breath and choose your moment

Don't slide

Even at a time like this
When the morning seems so far
Think that pain belongs to you
But it's happened to us all

She says she wants to do it like a doggy
She's bad, nobody is badder
But she got more crabs than a seafood platter
Bitch on the gank move, to skizz me
Just to say "I got f**ked by "Eazy"
So I slapped the ho' like a pimp
I might be a women-beater but I'm not a pussy-eater
So when the shit hits the fan it's outta my mouth

He came from somewhere back in her long ago
The sentimental fool don't see
Tryin' hard to recreate
What had yet to be created once in her life
...
She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go

But what a fool believes ... he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems ... to be
Is always better than nothing
And nothing at all keeps sending him ...

Somewhere back in her long ago
Where he can still believe there's a place in her life
Someday, somewhere, she will return

You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns
When they all come down and did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discover that
He really wasn't where its at
After he took from you everything he could steal.

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

Father of mine
Tell me where have you been
You know I just close my eyes
My whole world disappeared

...

I remember blue skies
Walking the block
I loved it when you held me high
I loved to hear you talk

You would take me to the movies
You would take me to the beach
Take me to a place inside
That was so hard to reach

...

Sometimes you would send me a birthday card
With a five dollar bill
Yeah, I never understood you then
And I guess I never will

Daddy gave me a name
My daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away

...

I will never be safe
I will never be sane
I will always be weird inside
I will always be lame

Now I'm a grown man
With a child of my own
And I swear that im not gonna let her know
All the pain I have known

Into my head with tangled threads they riddle me to solve again and again

When May is rushing over you
With desire to be part of the miracles
You see in every hour
You'll know it's true
That you are blessed and lucky

These are days
These are the days you might fill
With laughter until you break
These days you might feel
A shaft of light
Make its way across your face
And when you do
Then you'll know how it was meant to be
See the signs and know their meaning
It's true
Then you'll know how it was meant to be
Hear the signs and know they're speaking
To you, to you.

Dorothy was a waitress on the promenade
She worked the night shift
Dishwater blond, tall and fine
She got a lot of tips

Well, earlier I'd been talkin' stuff
In a violent room
Fighting with lovers past
I needed someone with a quicker wit than mine
Dorothy was fast

Well, I ordered -
"Yeah, let me get a fruit cocktail, I ain't 2 hungry"
Dorothy laughed
She said "Sounds like a real man 2 me"
Kinda cute, U wanna take a bath?
(do you wanna, do you wanna, bath)
I said "Cool, but I'm leaving my pants on" (she say)
"Cuz I'm kind of going with someone"
She said "Sounds like a real man 2 me"
"Mind if I turn on the radio?"
"Oh, my favorite song" she said
And it was Joni singing "Help me I think I'm falling"
(Ring)
The phone rang and she said
"Whoever's calling can't be as cute as U"
Right then I knew I was through
(Dorothy Parker was cool)

My pants where wet, they came off
But she didn't see the movie
Cuz she hadn't read the book first
Instead she pretended she was blind
An affliction brought on by a witch's curse
Dorothy made me laugh (ha ha)
I felt much better so I went back
2 the violent room (tell us what U did)
Let me tell U what I did...

I took another bubble bath with my pants on
All the fighting stopped
Next time I'll do it sooner
This is the ballad of Dorothy Parker

God, I feel like hell tonight
Tears of rage I cannot fight
I'd be the last to help you understand
Are you strong enough to be my man?

Nothing's true and nothing's right
So let me be alone tonight
Cause you can't change the way I am
Are you strong enough to be my man?

I have a face I cannot show
I make the rules up as I go
So try and love me if you can
Are you strong enough to be my man?

When I've shown you that I just don't care
When I'm throwing punches in the air
When I'm broken down and I can't stand
Would you be man enough to be my man?

Lie to me
I promise, I'll believe
Lie to me
But please don't leave

Every single night the same arrangement
I go out and fight the fight
Still, I always feel the strange estrangement
Nothing here is real, nothing here is right
I've been making shows of trading blows
Just hoping no one knows
That I've been going through the motions
Walking through the part
Nothing seems to penetrate my heart
...
Will I stay this way forever?
Sleepwalk through my life's endeavor?
...
I don't want to be
Going through the motions
Losing all my drive
I can't even see
If this is really me
And I just want to be
Alive!
