From The Choirgirl Hotel - The Lyrics

she's convinced she could hold back a glacier
but she couldn't keep Baby alive
doubting if there's a woman in there somewhere
here

you say you don't want it again
and again but you don't really mean it
you say you don't want it
this circus we're in
but you don't you don't really mean it
you don't really mean it

if the Divine master plan is perfection
maybe next i'll give Judas a try
trusting my soul to the ice cream assassin
here

you say you don't want it again
and again but you don't really mean it
you say you don't want it
this circus we're in
but you don't you don't really mean it
you don't really mean it

how fates turn around in the overtime
ballerinas that have fins that you'll never find
you thought that you were the bomb
yeah well so did I
say you don't want it
say you don't want it
say you don't want it again
and again but you don't
don't really mean it
say you don't want it
this circus we're in
but you don't you don't really mean it
you don't really mean it

she's addicted to nicotine patches
she's afraid of the light in the dark
6.58 are you sure where my spark is
here
here
here

Cruel

I can be cruel I don't know why
why can't my ba.ll.oo.n stay up in a perfectly windy sky
I can be cruel I don't know why

dance with the Sufi's celebrate your top ten in the charts of pain
lover brother bogenvilla my vine twists around your need
even the rain is sharp like today as you sh-sh-shock me sane
no cigarettes only peeled HAVANA'S for you

I can be cruel ...

Black-Dove(January)

black-dove black-dove
you don't need a space ship
they don't know you've already lived
on the other side of the galaxy

she had a January world
so many storms not right somehow
how a lion becomes a mouse by the woods

but i have to get to TEXAS
said i have to get to TEXAS
and I'll give away my blue, blue dress

she had a January girl
she never let on how insane it was
in that tiny kinda scary house by the woods

Raspberry Swirl

Let's go...
I am not your senorita
I am not from your tribe
in the garden I did no crime

I am not your senorita
I am not from your tribe
if you want inside her
well,
boy you better make her raspberry swirl

things are getting desperate
when all the boys can't be men
everybody knows I'm her friend
everybody knows I'm her man

I'm not your senorita
I don't aim so high
in my heart I do no crime
if you want inside her
well,
boy you better make her raspberry swirl
and she swirls ... and she swirls
she swirls, and she swirls...

Jackie's Strength

feeling old by 21
never thought my day would come
my bridesmaids getting laid
I pray for Jackie's strength

make me laugh
say you know what you want
you said we were the real thing
so I show you some more and I learn
what black magic can do
make me laugh
say you know you can turn
me into the real thing
so I show you some more and I learn

stickers licked on lunch boxes
worshipping David Cassidy
yeah I mooned him once on Donna's box
she's still in recovery

sleep-overs Beene's got some pot
you're only popular with anorexia so
I turn myself inside out
in hope someone will see
will see

make me laugh
say you know what you want
you said we were the real thing
so I show you some more and I learn
what black magic can do
make me laugh
say you know you can turn
me into the real thing
so I show you some more
and I learn

I got lost on my wedding day
typical
the police came
but virgins always get backstage
no matter what they've got to say

if you love enough you'll lie a lot
guess they did in Camelot
mama's waiting on my front lawn
I pray ... I pray ... I said I pray
for Jackie's Strengt
Strength

make me laugh
say you know what you want
you said we were the real thing
so I show you some more and I learn

Iieee

is it God's
is it yours
sweet saliva

with your E's
and your ease
and I do one more
I know we're dying
and there's no sign of a parachute
we scream in cathedrals
why can't it be beautiful
why does there gotta be a sacrifice

just say yes
you little arsonist
you're so sure you can save
every hair on my chest
just say yes
you little arsonist

with your E's
and your ease
and I do one more
well I know we're dying
and there's no sign of a parachute
in this chapel
little chapel of love
can't we get a little grace
and some elegance
no we scream in cathedrals
why can't it be beautiful
why does there
gotta be a sacrifice

just say yes
you little arsonist
with your E's
and your ease
and I do one more
well I know we're dying
and there's no sign of a parachute
in this chapel
little chapel of love
can't we get a little grace
and some elegance
no we scream in cathedrals
why can't it be beautiful
why does there
gotta be a sacrifice

Liquid Diamonds

I guess I'm an underwater thing
I'm liquid running
there's a sea secret in me
it's plain to see it is rising
but I must be flowing liquid diamonds

calling for my soul
at the corners of the world
I know she's playing poker
and if your friends don't come back to you
and you know this is madness
a lilac mess in your prom dress
and you say
I guess I'm an underwater thing

To the Top.

She's Your Cocaine

She's your cocaine
your Exodus laughing
and she knows what you are
so shimmy once
and do it again
bring your sister
bring your sister
if you can't handle it

if you want me to
Boy I could lie to you
you don't need one of these to let me inside of you
and is it true that devils end up like you
do something safe for the picture frame
and is it true that devils end up like you
so tied up you don't know how she came

She's your cocaine
she's got you shaving your legs
she got you liking mine back
got me taking it in
getting mine back
I'm taking my easel
and I'm writing good checks
you sign Prince of Darkness
try Squire of Dimness
please don't help me with this

Northern Lad

Don't say that you Don't
and if you could see me now
said if you could see me now
girls you've got to know
when it's time to turn the page
when you're only wet because of the rain
you know it's time to change

he don't show much these days
it gets so fucking cold
I loved his secret places
but I can't go anymore
"you change like sugar cane"
says my northern lad
I guess you go too far
when pianos try to be guitars
I feel the west in you
and I feel is falling apart too

Don't say that you Don't
and if you could see me now
said if you could see me now
girls you've got to know
when it's time to turn the page
when you're only wet because of the rain
you know it's time to change
when you're only wet
because of the rain

Hotel

You were wild
where are you now
You were wild
where are you now

give me more
give me more
give me more

I have to learn to let you crash down
I have to learn to let you crash down
I have to learn to let you crash

Met 'em in a hotel
Met 'em in a hotel
you say he's the biggest thing
there'll be this year
I guess that what I'm seeking
I guess that what I'm seeking
isn't here

Met him in a hotel
Met him in a guess world
guessed anyone but you

You were wild
where are you now
You were wild
where are you now

give me more
give me more
give me more

I have to learn to let you crash down

where are the velvets
where are the velvets
where are the velvets
when you're coming down

You were wild
where are you now
You were wild
where are you now

King Solomon's Mines
Exit 75
I'm still alive
I'm still alive
I'm still alive

Playboy Mommy

I never was the fantasy
of what you want
wanted me to be
but don't judge me so harsh little girl
so you got a playboy mommy
but when you tell them my name
you wanna cross that bridge all on your own
little girl they'll do you no harm
cause they know your playboy mommy
but when you tell 'em my name
from here to Birmingham
I got a few friends

I never was there was there when it counts
I get my way
you're so like me
you seemed ashamed
ashamed that I was
a good friend of American soldiers
I'll say it loud here by your grave
those angels can't
ever take my place

Don't judge me so harsh little girl
you got a playboy mommy
but when you tell 'em my name
you wanna cross that bridge all on your own
little girl they'll do you no harm
cause they know your playboy mommy
but you just tell 'em my name
you tell 'em my name
I got a few friends
somewhere where the the orchids grow

I can't find those church bells
that played when you died
played Gloria
talkin bout
Hosanah

don't judge me so harsh little girl
you got a playboy mommy
come home
but when you tell them soldiers my name
and cross that bridge all on your own
little girl they'll do you no harm
cause they know your playboy mommy
but I'll be home I'll be home
to take you in my arms

Pandora's Aquarium

I am not asking you to believe in me
Boy I think you’re confused
I’m not Persephone
foam can be dangerous
with tape across my mouth
those things you do
I never asked you how

Line me up in single file
with all your grievances
Stare but I can taste
you’re still alive
below the waste
ripples come and ripples go
and ripple back to me

Pandora
Pandora’s aquarium
she dives for shells
with her nautical nuns
and thoughts you thought
you’d never tell

Line me up in single file
with all your grievances
Stare but I can taste
you’re still alive below the waste
ripples come and ripples go
and ripple back to me
I am not asking you to believe in me
Boy I think you’re confused
I’m not Persephone
She’s in New York somewhere
checking her accounts
The Lord of The Flies was diagnosed as Sound
