First it was a movie, then it was a book
They chopped my life up, put it on tv so I had to take a look
Well that Holly Hunter is so relatable, when she screamed I cried
if I wasn't feeling so empty baby Id give that movie five out of five
Well Holly didn't get the oscar
And I did not get paid
but in a couple of years I’ll be out there somewhere and goddamnit Holly will be up there on that stage! Woo!
First I wrote a movie, then I wrote a song
I chopped my life up, put it on paper, I ended up being too long
Well last night I watched a movie
movie made me sad cos I saw myself in everyone, how'd they make a movie like that?
I think Im just gonna go for water color
maybe paint by numbers
I need to see myself doing something and then I wont be such a bummer

I kept a pretty good face,
didn't I?
I bet you couldn't tell
that I knew you lied
When we got food to share
ah whatchu put in the air
Eli made a point
and it got to me
about waiting around
for someone to need
that somethin you could provide,
that somethin based on a lie
Barbecue
on Valentines
with my best friend
Eli
Though we both have been hurt
prolly cant get much worse

Hey baby
I don't know why you’re so tough inside when my loves not enough
I guess baby needs more stuff but come on baby I don't know why you're so rough
Are ya deep or do I just love you too much
Ugh, ooh
Hey baby I don't know why you hate me so much
Maybe I messed up
Ding dong, sing that song
Ding dong, sing that song
Ding dong, sing that song again and again and again
(If I) if I could turn back time
(If I) if I could turn back time
(If I) if I could turn back time
(If I) if I could turn back time

Truck Flipped Over '19
03:56
|

|
Even from the backseat
I knew I could see
that semi flip over onto the other side of 20
Like a miracle of life I watched that truck take flight
And it took flight, levitated across the median to the right
I knew from my dread
that driver was dead
Cos the truck crashed down on its left side where the driver sat
And I prayed to God
that Id forget that awful mess
And He smiles down upon me
cos by the time we pulled into the Richmond parking lot I guess I had just forgotten the whole crash
but I remember it now
dont think Ill ever forget that sound
How could anything be so loud?

Big Something

Hey! Its my life recontextualized
in a new light Mariannes brought the sight
down at John Heinz where the swallows and turtles and animals are making life
The angels tell me I have been through so much
but thats okay cos I love a girl thats tough
See it reflected see it perceived
The angels tell me I have been through so much
And its such a big something crashing down on me, that I can be so many things that I want to see
Its like how Im my mothers daughter, sister and friend
Ahhhh

Took a little bit of a song but I made it something else
I was hoping to use this song to talk about
something that had been goin on but I could not get it out
Put my guitar down and I stepped out
Took a little bit of your life and I made it part of mine
Take a little of me and you make me fine
Guess that all I really wanna do is you with your pants off
Dip myself in the river like an ice cream cone
Could I find on my own what I found before alone?
Could I find in your pants what I found in your hands?

Don't forget to say your prayers for me oh yeah
And I wont forget to say my prayers for you oh no

Prayers for me oh no

Pretty Eyes Lorraine

Ooh baby on our trip down the Rhine
you showed me that life’s all about how you ride
Though old Lorraine didn't make it here
she’s looking just like she did last year
Ooh baby when I look in your eyes
I see lines I’ve always realized
A whole story that fell through
all of my dreams that did not come true
My girl’s got pretty eyes
My girl’s got pretty eyes
Ooh baby rides my motorbike
I blow her flag and she blows my mind
Ooh baby, that’s just life
you’ve gotta beautiful to be right
Sad at the movies
baby looks like Barbie
Not some discount Robbie
with those green eyes
My girl’s got pretty eyes
My girl’s got pretty eyes
My girl’s got pretty eyes
My girl’s got pretty eyes

You Don't Know

Fast car measures its worth
slow smile bends you backwards
So get your cheap thrills quick
before it makes you sick
Cos you dont know what you're doing
and all the things you think don't matter
are coming back and they're coming back faster
One of these days you're gonna be amazed
Clearly you don't know
the love that goes and grows
round you day to day
and it kills me just say
You don't know what you're doing
And you're hurting so many people
Dragging them down in your trouble
Betting their good on a double E
You don't know what you’re doin
And all the things you think don't matter
are coming back and they're coming back faster
One of these days you're gonna be amazed
Think you got it, you think you’ve seen it, so you wanna go to the show
Think you got it, you think you’ve seen it, so you wanna go to the show
Think you got it, you think you’ve seen it, so you wanna go to the show
Think you got it, you think you’ve seen it, so you wanna go to the show
