even the rain is sharp
like today as you sh-sh-shock me sane
no cigarettes only
peeled HAVANAS for you I can be cruel

LIQUID DIAMONDS
surrender then start
your engines
you'll know quite
soon what my mistake
was
for those on horse
back or dog sled
you turn on at the
bend in the road
I hear she still grants
forgiveness
although I willingly
forgot her
the offering is molasses
and you say
I guess I'm an underwater
thing so I
guess I can't take
it personally
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
with the rest of the
stragglers
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

NORTHERN LAD
Had a Northern lad
well not exactly had
he moved like the
sunset
god who painted that-
first he loved my
accent
how his knees could
bend
I thought we'd be
ok
me and my molasses
But I feel something
is wrong
But I feel this cake
just isn't done
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 it 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

PLAYBOY MOMMY
In my platforms
I hit the floor
fell face down
didn't help my brain
out
then the baby came
before I found
the magic how
to keep her happy
I never was the fantasy
of what you want
wanted me to be
Don't judge me so
harsh little girl
so you got a playboy
mommy
but when you tell
em my name
and you want to 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
somewhere where 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
PANDORA’S AQUARIUM
Pandora
Pandora's Aquarium
she dives for shells
with her nautical
nuns
and thoughts you thought
you'd never tell
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
these 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
