Forever Baby



Tamara

Tomorrow I will run ten miles
Tomorrow I'm gonna try to smile
Tomorrow’s gonna be nice
Tomorrow’s sun will melt the ice

Tomorrow I’ll jump outta bed
Go straight to work, lift up my head
Tomorrow’s gonna make me strong
I’ll trim off the fat and throw it to the dogs

Tomorrow is a brand new day
Tomorrow she’s gonna bring a change
I already know how I wanna be
So tomorrow you can get together my new identity

Tomorrow I’ll look you in the eye
and tell you I apologize
Tomorrow I’ll find some way to show you
that I am, that I know you

Tomorrow's coming, I can almost taste it
I forget about all the words I wasted
Things I did, I can’t erase
I carry the weight of my mistakes
All the things I said you won't forget
Maybe Tamara ought to stay in bed

Sleep won’t make it go away
Tomorrow’s just turning into today
Forgive me, man, for I have sinned
Can I back up and try again

I See You




Rider

She wants the man
That's playing in the band
She can't get it up
She just wants to fuck

She's got the disease
The female disease
Aims only to tease
Always on her knees

She has no brain at all
Her head's about to fall
People always laughing
in her face and behind her back

Suckin' dick, kissin' butt,
going down, open up

I saw you backstage
pulling up your skirt
I wish it was a nightmare
because it hurt
I see you do this to yourself
and every other girl
You're giving me a bad name
'cause it's a mans world

Guilt by association
makes it hard for me to work
It's nothing but a gaping hole
it's filling up with dirt

Hole so big i'm gonna drown
I dive right in and hit the ground
Hole so big i'm gonna drown
I dive right in and hit the ground

You stupid groupie
You stupid slut
By the time you're bruised and bloody
have you had enough?
Or is there any blood left in you
or are you really just a whore?
Do you think about what you've been doing
or don't you wanna know?

Suckin' dick, kissin' butt,
going down, open up


Here Comes The Pain

Here comes the pain again
Here comes the pain again
Never give in, never give in

Said I'd never love again
I was a virgin then
I was alone and I still am

Here comes the pain

Feel like an alien
I am my only friend
I can't relate to you or them

Death's just up around the bend
Don't really suck it in
It's a beginning and not an end

Here comes the pain

It's not enough, physical touch...


Feed me

Oh baby if only you knew
I'm down to a hundred-and-two
Oh baby if only you know
Oh baby...

I had a hole in my heart
So I threw away my plate
Cause nothing would fill me up
Whatever I ate

Oh baby if only you knew
I don't know what to do
Oh baby if only you knew
Oh baby...

Fading away
Cause there's nothing I can do
I hate myself
And I love you

Oh baby if only you knew
Whenever I think, I think of you
Oh baby if you only knew...

My baby
I'm hungry
Oh baby


My Sister



Put it away

I’m not afraid
No, I’m not a gay
You don’t have to pay
to hear what I say

Put it away
You can’t take it away
'Cause I won’t give it away

Some people got a lot of nerve
Think just because I’m a girl
Rock stars don’t you be so sure
You must’ve not heard me say

Put it away
You can’t take it away
'Cause I won’t give it away

You’re just gonna have to wait
I ain’t gonna take that bait
Honey, aren’t you ashamed?
Now put, put, put that thing away

Put it away
You can’t take it away
'Cause I won’t give it away
Put it away
You can’t take it away
Cause I won’t give it away


Ruthless

Feeling ruthless like a rude guest
Ruthless
We're in the corner
like flowers on the wall growing really small
really small, really small, really small

They're all suckers for a chick who really rocks it hard
We're all suckers for Ruthie
Don’t they remember how we said "She’s gonna be a star"?
We'll be pining for Ruthie

Hanging around, giving too much away
Maybe we should go now, go now
This is a test, but it seems as if her best
Just isn’t good enough

We're all gushin, but I swear we really mean it, man
We're all sucking up to Ruthie
We're all licking at the blood, comes from her playing hand
We all wish we were Ruthie

We're all suckers for a girl who can really play guitar
We're all suckers for Ruthie
We’re all crying for like "Pack up and get in the car"
We're all dying for Ruthie

For The Birds



Hello My Name Is Baby

You gimme lots of love
'cause it was something that I needed
And you'd do anything
if you had a reason

Fall down baby, I pick you up
fall down baby, I pick you up
call now baby I'll come right up
you're so lazy you'll kiss my butt

I hate the way
you say my name
it's not ok
Baby's not my name

I know a lot of pretty girls
and I sure know how to please them
They run to me and say
Baby won't you please give me some

Fall down baby I pick you up
Fall down baby I pick you up
Call me Baby I'll cut your glass
you're so crazy you'll kiss my ass

I hate the way
you say my name
it's not ok
Baby ain't my name

Fall down baby I pick you up
Fall down baby I pick you up
call now baby I'll come right up
you're so crazy you'll kiss my butt

I hate the way
you say my name
it's not ok
Baby ain't my name

Where Would I Be Without You

I remember when you said how its all in my head
'You said 'He may be the first, but he doesn't have to be the last'
Now, I gotta ask...

Where would I be without you?

So sick of sitting in that room
needing a new attitude
I said 'I don't know what to do'
You said, I gotta move

Where would I be without you?

It's alright to feel okay
Everything is easier that way
Tell me, tell me once again
It's not the end

Where would I be without you?

You showed me it's a crime
to never even try
I could say I'm super-fine, but that would be a lie
Give it time and I'll change my mind

Where would I be without you?


Yardsailing

Hey pal take this piece of my my
(Take this piece of my, my back string)
Leaving, sailing, flying
(Hating, Hey pal, fateful, good sad)

You got the capacity and you’re so fucking lucky
Living up above the street; you’re so fucking lucky
All your hair and bones and teeth, and you’re so fucking lucky
Jesus Christ I wanna meet; you’re so fuckin lucky

Smoke, coughing, smoking, poking
(Smoke, coughing, smoke, poking)
Hey pal, good sad, for reach out
(Make it last, it won’t set sailing)

You got the capacity, and you’re so fucking lucky
Living high above the street; you’re so fucking lucky

Cut your chances nearly in half
I’m shut out of many good things
You take a little when you can; you’re so fucking lucky
Jesus Christ, a perfect man; you’re so fucking lucky


Girl In Old Blue Volvo Disowns Self

Bill and I were sisters in another life
That is why his music makes me cry
Not because I love him and not because he's really foxy
lowest common denominator in the rock scene

Ride in my Swedish car, Swedish car
Drive with a sexy young road star
Buy not American, American everything falls apart

Cigarette butts are piling up
in my Denny's coffee cup that I stole from a Denny's in godforsaken Texas
Where is he now? Now that I don't care
He could be in Germany, he could be just about anywhere

Ride in my Swedish car, Swedish car
Drive with a sexy young road star
Buy not American, American everything falls apart

I don't expect to live to forty
I didn't think I'd live past twenty-five
To be afraid of living is to be afraid of dying
How can you get past this and cherish the fear of flying

Ride in my Swedish car, Swedish car
Drive with a sexy young road star
I'm not American, I'm a European bastard

Waves

Waves affects the sea
Crashing like an egg
Tears a sickly state
to me

Choking on the words
Dying to be heard
Arms around the song
The good is gone
Driving and crying
Where am i going?
Motion is emotion
Riding out the pain

Driving in the rain
on a sunny day
Real escape's a dream
can never remember
but i do recall them all

He laughs at me 'cause i
still can see the pictures
printed on my mind
the night before

Driving and crying
Where am i going?
Motion is emotion
Riding out the pain
Pain...

My wish in your hand
Dropped it in the gutter
Cruely you opened
your eyes
Smiles

Driving and crying
Where am i going
Motion is emotion
Riding out the pain


Make It Home
Deep in the night
I think on a time
All was bright
Here in this dark place
I see in your face
All is not right

Make it, make your way home
Better than the last
Break it, break the alone
Take a second chance

Open a window
let in the snow
Cold is all I know
Go to the fire
stir it around
There's a warmer place for you to go

So, make it, make your way home
Better than you have
Break it, break the alone
Leave it in the past

Look and you'll find it
Someone wants to love you
Look and you'll find it
Someone wants to love you

Wake it, wake your dream
One forgotten me
Sleepin' deep inside of you
Heavenly peace


Charity

This is my house, I welcomed you in
You're pissing on my rug, you need breaking in
And these are my words, I could teach you to read,
But you won't understand this is fucking poetry

I gave you my best, call it charity
But maybe I guess that nothing is free
Your would have me pay, I know jealousy
So easily read, you wish you were me

This is my baby you can't take her away
A miracle baby you would have them hate
You'll be a killer if I gave you a second thought
But my baby is protected
She is loved
Don't you get it

I gave you my best, call it charity
But maybe I guess that nothing is free
Your would have me pay, for just being
I know you but you don't know shit about me

This is goodbye to scent and fury
You are a coward, covering behind a wall
You won't even show your face, only words on paper
'Cause man to man you would fall

I gave you my best, it was charity
But maybe I guess that nothing is free
I will never pay for just being me
You will never know what you're missing


What Have I Done To You

Waking up, hitting myself
with a headache and a hard-on
I can't control myself I lose control, I lose it
I know I need to get some help
you say I'm crazy, inconsistant and confusing, selfish too
and I know that it's all true
if I had an answer to your questions all the reasoning
for what I did to you
What have I done to you?
I was bad I feel like crap
I don't deserve to look into forgiving eyes
Well thank the lord for all that I have taken
for the hearts that I am breaking
and then maybe tomorrow can I call you?
I was dumb, I didn't know that it would hurt
I will bite my tongue from now on when I want to shut you up
When I have had enough of you
I will try harder to be nice and I will hide from the lie
your disgust upon my face
What have I done to you?
please forgive, I really didn't mean to
I was drunk I didn't know that it would hurt
I am full of good excuses for what have I done to you?
What have you done to me?
