I don't know what it is
But you got to do it
I don't know where to go
But you gotta be there
I don't know where to fall
But I know that it's comfortable where
I don't know where it is

>>I Don't Know What It Is<<

So I guess that I'm goin'
I guess that I am walkin'
Where? I don't know
Just away from this love affair

>>This Love Affair<<

This is the day
The day of the death
The death of the matinee idol
Still so beautiful as the angels
As the angels came down from on high

>>Matinee Idol<<


Sometimes you need a stranger to talk to

>>Sometimes You Need<<

Then one day in the cathedral
I finally lit you a candle
And all along the vaulted halls
The virgins did smile from their mantles

>>Candles<<

And why I never will tell you “I love you”
And why there is just but
A vision of perfect man

>>Perfect Man<<

But I don’t even think you hear me at all
Under your medieval ceiling, behind your biblical wall

>>Jericho<<

I remember you when lookin' like a teenager
How you have become a man with all the power
Runnin' the moon aground

>>Nobody's Off The Hook<<

There I was in uniform
Looking at the art teacher
I was just a girl then;
Never have I loved since then

>>The Art Teacher<<

And you will believe in love
And all that it's supposed to be
But just until the fish start to smell
And you're struck down by a hammer

>>April Fools<<

I may not be so manly
But still I know you love me

>>Beauty Mark<<

Martha it's your brother calling
Have you had a chance to see father?
Wondering how's he doing and
There's not much time
For us to really be that angry at each other anymore

>>Martha<<

Tell me do you really think you go to hell for having loved
Tell me enough of thinkin' everything that you've done is good
I really need to know
After soakin' the body of Jesus Christ in blood
I'm so tired of America

>>Going To A Town<<

History is still a game
So complain, have no shame
And remember that round one has just been played

>>Little Sister<<

No matter how strong
I'm gonna take you down
With one little stone
I'm gonna break you down
And see what you're worth
What you're really worth to me

>>Dinner At Eight<<

I don't want
No I really don't want
To be John Lennon or Leonard Cohen

I just wanna be my Dad
With a slight sprinkling of my mother
And work at the family store
And take orders from the counter

>>Want<<

Turn back and you will stay
Under the Memphis Skyline

>>Memphis Skyline<<


Woke up this mornin' and somethin' was burnin'
Realized that everythin' really does happen in Manhattan
Thoughts were of characters and afternoons lyin'
And you
You were alive

>>11:11<<


Oh tell me can you see it
The gentle tower risin'
Over the pines
Out of a book

>>Millbrook<<


Then along the bending path away
I smiled in knowing we'd be back one day

>>In A Graveyard<<


I did go from wanting to be someone
Now I'm drunk and wearing flip-flops on Fifth Avenue
Once you've fallen from classical virtue
Won't have a soul for to wake up and hold you

>>Poses<<


Cigarettes and chocolate milk
These are just a couple of my cravings
Everything it seems I like's a little bit stronger
A little bit thicker
A little bit harmful for me

>>Cigarettes And Chocolate Milk<<
