Making Me Blue (My Body Is Changing)
My body is changing
To fit itself around your shoe
And my insides are aching
To be closer to you
You're like a crevice
Like a crack, not a trace
I can't make myself small enough
To fit in your space
If you come down, if you come down, if you come down
Down off your one-legged horse
Your immortal course
Is making me blue, yeah
You're making me blue, yeah
My limbs are changing
My heart is filled with growing pains
But you are so perfect
A brittle vessel filled with rain
You're like a rock
You're like a razor, like a tack
You're pulse is pale
But your humor's always black
If you come down, if you come down, if you come down
Down off your one-legged horse
Your immortal course
You're making me blue, yeah
You're making me blue, yeah
I'm your servant
I'm down on my knees
I'll be wishing you here
After I leave
I would worship you irreverantly
Just meet me half way
And I will lay you down
Come towards me, baby
We fit together
Like a couple of spoons
Although one moment the spell is wrought
Hope no one opens this velvet drawer
Love is always over too soon
But I want to hold you
Forever in flight
'Til we're two old flames
There's a mighty thin line
Dancing by a dim light
If you just come down, if you come down
Won't you please come down
Down off your one-legged horse
Your immortal course
Is making me blue, yeah
You're making me blue, yeah
And my body is changing...
To fit itself around your shoe...
Every mom wants her little boy
To grow up and be a hero
Size years of age
She planted the seed
His young hands burdened
Bewildered and confused
How the hell can a little boy satisfy a woman's needs
Nobody told him what you are
Not what she needs you to be
She made him her lover
But only through words
Inappropriate...
And high hopes and dreams
She made him her babbot
Wound him so tight that....
Worrying about how to live up to
Expectations so high
Nobody told him what you are
Not what she needs you to be
Forever imprisoned by she
And standards that he can not hold
Till mamma's little hero sets himself free
He'll always be a man child walking
Forever frightened
By those big scary words,
Committment and need
A deep distrust that he could never satisfy
That a woman could love him for free
Say be what you are
Not what she needs you to be
Be what You are
Not what she needs you to be
Mamma's little hero
There's a man gonna have you if he can
But he don't want to wait, he's gone home
Passion in his hands, the desires of a man
Strung by the laces of his shoes
And Tuesday's another town
And Wednesday's hanging round
But Thursday don't want to see him anymore
Cause he can hold you
He can love you
But he won't be thinkin of you
He's the man who's already gone
There's a man gonna love you if he can
But he don't know which way he's gonna roam/run
Daddy said go ahead, he said well you never can tell
which way the wind is gonna blow
because hearts may come and hearts may go
But you can't follow scent? if it's cold
Cause he can hold you he can haunt you
But he won't be thinking of you
Cause he's the man who's already gone
Don't roam
It's a long road
It's a long road with no place to go
There's a man gonna have you if he can
But he don't know which way he's gonna roam.
You come home, you look kind of frantic
Too bad cause I feel romantic
I know you're stressed out again
Tonight - I guess - that we're just friends again
You know I'm really not the type to compete
I hope your meetings were filled with lots of good 'meet'
And your appointments have lots of good 'ointments'
To soothe what you could never could satisfy
CHORUS:
Cause I don't carry you like I did a minute ago
I tried to love you but it was just too stressful
It's like leavin' your boots on when you go swimming
But I never will fight for what doesn't want to win
You wake up - I'm doing cartwheels
You're grumpy
Said, "Try some how I feel"
"I'm happy" just wasn't no fun
It's hard enough just waking up next to one
You know if you were oatmeal - you'd just look for lumps
If you were sweet I'd call you sugarbumps
If you were the sunshine you'd say I was
Well I am tired of this capricious game
Chorus
A Marital Carnival
A Marital Carnival
A Marital Carnival
Stop!
I want to get off...
Sweetheart, I'm gonna find myself a ride
One that doesn't bring me down this time
One that isn't always on the run
One that can have good old fashioned fun
Cause you know my purpose in life is nothing more
Is then to simply be a dork
I'm just like a special chocolate treat
I ain't no piece of leftover hot dogs...
Chorus
I never will fight for
No!
I never will fight for
Ruff!
I never will fight for what doesn't want to win winning
(Go Tell it on the Mountain)
When I was a seeker
I sought both night and day
I asked the lord to help me
And he showed me the way
go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and ev'rywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That jesus christ is born
He made me a watchman
Up on the city wall
And if i am a christian
I am the least of all
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and ev'rywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
While shepherds kept their watching
O'er wand'ring flock by night
Behold! From out of the heavens
There shown a holy light
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and ev'rywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and ev'rywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
(From a Distance)
God is watching us, God is watching us
God is watching us from a distance
God is watching us, God is watching us
God is watching us from a distance
(Life Uncommon)
I've heard your anguish
Oh! I've heard your hearts cry out
We're tired, Oh! We are weary
Oh! We aren't worn out
Set down your chains
’til only faith remains
Set down your chains
And lend your voices
Only to sounds of freedom
Oh, no longer lend your strength to that
Which you wish to be free from
Fill your lives with love and brav'ry
And we shall lead a life uncommon
There are plenty of people
Who pray for peace
But if praying were enough
Oh! It would have come to be
Don't ever let your words enslave no one
And the heavens will hush themselves
O hear our voices ring out clear
With sounds of freedom
Sounds of freedom
Come on you unbelievers
Oh! Move out of the way
There is a new army coming
Oh! And we are armed with faith
Oh! Live, oh! we must give
Oh! Live
And lend our voices only to sounds of freedom
No longer lend your strength
To that which you wish to be free from
Fill your lives with love and brav'ry
And we shall lead
A life uncommon
Fill your lives with love and brav'ry
Oh! And we shall lead
A life uncommon
(From a Distance)
God is watching us, god is watching us,
God is watching us from a distance
God is watching us, god is watching us,
God is watching us from a distance
I have a secret obsession
It's totally tupperware
My own science project
Defying wear and tear
I'm jealous of shopping carts
And all of their brand new things
I want to fondle their labels
In hopes one'll rub off on me
'Cause everybody wants to feel brand new
Like they do
I spend my days indoors
Doing like ding-dongs do
Perfectly preserving
Myself for you
I take things out of their boxes
Take out my note pad and pen
Study carefully
'Cause everybody wants to feel brand new
Like they do
So tell me you want me
Tell me you need me
Tell me I'll always be desirable
Specially to you
Make me feel brand new
Attractive!
Brand spanking clean
And desirable as homecoming queen
But if I were to bet
All of the frenchfries in the world
That you would say such things
I would surely be one very hungry girl
I approach china cautiously
If there's cracks I deny it
I ingest only perfect things
Into my visual diet
And at night I undress myself
In front of your favorite things
Your brand new hand-tied blue bass fishing lure
And in the corner your money clip sings
Everybody wants to feel brand new
Everybody wants to feel brand new
Like they do
As they do
I do too
You see the big fat man with a skinny, skimpy blonde
who lets him kiss her hand
because he, ooh, breathes diamond rings when he sings
He talks like columbian coffee with cream
It's not, ooh, too, ooh, sweet
Money (x10) yeah
Money makes the world go round round round round
Bom de-dooble dooble bom...
Doo bow mow
A blur of cheap hotel rooms and a vibrating bed
It's hot feelings, cold feet, hey, yo, gimme some
head into the bathroom just to powder her nose
Clip her fingernails and paint her toes
And it's all, ooh, for, uuh, money
Money (x10) yeah
Money makes the world go round round round round Bom de-dooble dooble
bom....
She used to be pretty with a real cute face
Dreams and morals and an eternal fireplace
Then in came the shadow man he blew out her light
And now there like so many her life is just a fight
And now, like so many, there's just a little pilot light
It's a fight for money
Money (x10) yeah
Money makes the world go roond
You see the big fat man with a skinny, skimpy blonde
who lets him kiss her hand
because he, ooh, breathes diamond rings when he sings
He talks like columbian coffee with cream
It's not, ooh, too, ooh, sweet
Money (x10) yeah
Mone
makes the world
Money (x10)
Money makes the world go round.
Sweet man, sweet mystery
Unveil yourself to me
Lie so still
Flesh cup, gonna get my fill
Let me rise and fall
With the wings of our sheets
While the moon's
Full over Austin
The city sleeps below
Only the moon bears witness
To my hotel angel
Through the window
Your body be a tender vine
That twists and turns just like mine
Your heart a slender thong
Filled with honey, built with song
Dawn steals you from me
And takes me to the next town
But tonight the moon's
Full over Austin
And the city sleeps below
And only the moon bears witness
To my hotel angel
Through the window
There's one thing
That keeps me going
It's the slow and easy knowing
You're the kind of man
Who's kind of girl
Could maybe give her hand
So sweet man in your sweet misery
Lie upon my temporary sea
Love's dressing, I will adorn
To my side your absence be a thorn
I'll rock you gently to sleep
Tonight is one promise
We both can keep
While the moon's
Full over Austin
And the city sleeps below
And only the moon bears witness
To my hotel angel
Through the window
Hotel angel
Through the window
Let the phone ring, let's go back to sleep
Let the world spin outside our door, you're the only one that I wanna see
Tell your boss you're sick, hurry, get back in I'm getting cold
Get over here and warm my hands up, boy, it's you they love to hold
And stop thinking about what your sister said
Stop worrying about it, the cat's already been fed
CHORUS:
Come on darlin', let's go back to bed
Put the phone machine on hold
Leave the dishes in the sink
Do not answer the door
It's you that I adore -
I'm gonna give you some more
We'll sit on the front porch, the sun can warm my feet
You can drink your coffee with sugar and cream
I'll drink my decaf herbal tea
Pretend we're perfect strangers and that we never met...
My how you remind me of a man I used to sleep with
that's a face I'd never forget
You can be Henry Miller and I'll be Anais Nin
Except this time it'll be even better,
We'll stay together in the end
CHORUS
There's a man on the front porch
Says he's related to me
But lately I'm finding
it hard to believe
This house is filled with
spooks and ghosts
They say they're family
But they are strangers at most
They're strange fishes of the deep blue sea
And absolutely nothing like me
They swim around their little treasure chests
When it comes to loving me they give it their fish best
But it's hard with all those scales
Of good and bad you see
They're my fish family
My fish family
They may try and hook me
Or put me in a tank
They may try and book me
For robbing a fish bank
'cause misunderstanding comes easily
But they're blowing bubbles
And I can hardly breathe
And when will they understand
I Just wanna marry a man
Without seaweed in his teeth,
Without barnacle for hair
Without seaweed in his ears
But their fish ears won't hear me
They're my fish family
They're strange fishes of the deep blue sea
And absolutely nothing like me
They swim around their little treasure chests
When it comes to loving me they give it their fish best
But it's hard with all those scales of morality
They're my fish family
My fish family.
