On the Boundary
You Go to my Head
Etienne Trilogy
someone smashed my window
broke into my brand new car
last night
caught my boyfriend lookin'
at another slender pair of thighs
gotta make more money
gotta get gotta get there faster than
the rest
knock 'em off the ladder
if they even seem to stand a chance
the big picture
got a big white cloud
the big picture
is starin at me
starin at me
why do I feel so threatened
that somebody else will
take what's mine
babe it's only rented
no one really owns the merchandise
what about what I want
somehow it got lost somewhere
inside
my mother's on my case
I told her it's my life
well, she just died
the big picture
got a big white cloud
the big picture
starin at me
the big picture
on a big blank wall
the big picture
is starin at me
starin at me
when I can see
I'll try again
I've got my paints
if you don't treat me better
baby, I'll just run away
baby, I don't know what drives you
to play these silly games
come on baby, I'm much stronger than you know
sometimes, I'm not afraid to let it show
when will you wake up
I want you more than the stars and the sun
but I can take only so much
cool on your island
is it cool on your island?
I got a brand new dress babe
could it make you wanna try
I guess I didn't want to notice
the stars gone from your eyes
come on baby, I'm must stronger than you know
sometimes I'm not afraid to let it show
we could buy an airplane
build a home in the sand
you could tell your secrets
I could understand
but then by the morning
it comes crumbling down
and as you're leaving
wait...
if you don't treat me better
baby I'll just run away
if you don't treat me
one day you'll wake up cold
then you'll know
you'll know
you love me
make in the city
do what you can
wave to the boy with the gun in his hand
lollipop girls pave the street
stand in line to be in your limousine
you took my love
took my money
you took my sex
took my love
took my money
give me
fayth
help me keep myself together
with a little more
fayth
with a little more
fayth
had to keep our love together
with a little more
fayth
I could wake up and face the day
how do you keep the romance there
when a little french maid
lives downstairs
radio blasts as the baby cries
run to the dragon that runs my life
you took my love
you took my money
you took my sex
took my love
took my money
give me
I could wake up and face the day
maybe I could start again
why am I afraid of change
maybe Fayth could understand
darlin' I remember when
I held the violets in my hand
love can crush
held too tight
we could bring it back alive
with a little more
fayth

purple sunset
orange moon
I'm alone again without you
I knew someone had to lose
kiss goodbye
go back to your separate life
that you have with her
ashes blown in the windy sky
take my heart as you go
baby it burns
baby it burns
baby it burns to be your fire on the side
taste my tears
see how they burn
baby it burns
to be your fire on the side
purple sunset
orange moon
how can the music play
when the only band is made of gold
up wrapped around your hand that I
used to hold against my chest
every night but I still can hope
you will see I'm your home
I knew someone had to lose
kiss goodbye
go back to your separate life
that you have with her
take my heart as you go
traveled far from my home
foreign streets paved with stone
deep in my dreams
Moroccan sand
now I sail my ship on dry land
there is a light that
shines on the frontier
pirates
and on a dark night
when you feel lonely
and when the world just
can't understand you
pirates
steal the jewel
watch it break
it cuts with an eye
I can't escape
the ruby heals
alone I stand
when I sail my ship
on dry land
there is a light that
shines on the frontier
and baby someday
we're gonna be there
pirates
and on a dark night
when you feel lonely
and when the world just
can't understand you
pirates
there is a light that
shines on the frontier
pirates
there is a light
that shines on the frontier
you went away
why did you leave me
you know I believed you
nothing explained
where are the answers
I know I need you
tell me is your city paved with gold
is there hunger
do your people grow old
do your governments have secrets that they've sold
every night I wait take me away
to your floating city
by my window at night
I see the lights to your floating city
come and take me away
I want to play in your floating city
floating city
tv turns off
any of us that say that we've seen you
tell me are we
the only planet
that can't conceive you
will we be like Atlantis long ago
so assured we're advanced
with what we know
that our spirit never had time to grow
is it weak to look for
saviors out in space
Little Earth she tries so hard
to change our ways
sometimes she must get sick of this place

I don't know why I did it
took the keys to my brothers car
why should I hang around here anymore
just to put my foot to the floor
sirens wake me up
wake me up with a cry
things we do for attention...
just a little reminder, dear
I am still alive
so confused I almost threw
it all away for you
you took me higher
and you dropped me lower
than I've ever been before
if I have a heart attack at 23
I'm loving you too much
if I have a heart attack at 23
wave bye-bye
you'll miss me baby
if I have a heart attack at 23
all of my friends
we waste so much love on our men
why can't I be forgiving
while he been out messin'
with his Argentine baby
I must be dreaming
we were together
in a land of scarlet ribbon
that tied you to me darlin'
roll on
but you know I'm never satisfied
with all the good things in my life
I thought I needed you to be strong
I'll still miss you
when I'm gone
you said you wanted safer ground
but you got caught up in the river
I was there to save you boy
but you'd rather drown
you said you were unhappy
but that was alright
better than not knowing
what's on the other side
and you know I was always there for you
and you know I always believed in you
I guess that wasn't enough
on the boundary
don't you need my love
you won't even let me
keep you from falling
from the boundary
that divides our love
I gave you a kingdom
that you could be lord in
and we both know you loved
the taste of my world
but you ran back to your corner
where you trip over your lines
look left
look right
no room to hide
I guess that wasn't enough
I guess I wasn't enough
sweet love
hello
make a slave of me
I should have no control
little dove
hello
you take full advantage
of my open window
when the cold of the night has washed away
all I want is to wake in your arms
and I know that I shouldn't let you stay
but I'm a lush for your love
you go to my head
and you know I can never say no
to you and your friend
you call
oh no
boy your heart swings in the wind
from rose to rose
honeybee
go home
to that warm nest
you left minutes ago
yes I understand you give your time
can't you see I've given my heart
all that light in your eyes is from the wine
I'm such a lush for your love

maybe I'm a witch lost in time
running through the fields of Scotland
by your side
kicked out of France
but I still believe
take me to a land far across the sea
Etienne, Etienne
hear the west wind whisper my name
Etienne, Etienne
by morning maybe we'll remember who I am
maybe you're the knight who saved my life
maybe we faced the fire side by side
here we are again under the same sky
as the gypsy crystal slowly dies
I close my eyes
see you again
I know I loved you
but I can't remember where or when
maybe I'm a witch
Etienne
whisper my name
Etienne
