1. ALL I REALLY WANT
Do I stress
you out
My sweater is on backwards and inside out
And you say how appropriate
I don't want to dissect
everything today
I don't mean to pick you apart
you see
But I can't help it
There I go jumping
before the gunshot has gone off
Slap me with a splintered
ruler
And it would knock me to the floor if I wasn't
there already
If only I could hunt the hunter
And all I really want is some patience
A way
to calm the angry voice
And all I really want is
deliverance
Do I wear you out
You must
wonder why I'm relentless and all strung out
I'm
consumed by the chill of solitary
I'm like Estella
I like to reel it in and then spit it out
I'm frustrated
by your apathy
And I am frightened by the corrupted
ways of this land
If only I could meet the Maker
And I am fascinated by the spiritual man
I am humbled
by his humble nature
What I wouldn't give to
find a soulmate
Someone else to catch this drift
And what I wouldn't give to meet a kindred
Enough about me, let's talk about you for a minute
Enough about you, let's talk about life for a while
The conflicts, the craziness and the sound of pretenses
Falling all around...all around
Why are you
so petrified of silence
Here can you handle this?
Did you think about your bills, your ex, your deadlines
Or when you think you're gonna die
Or did you long
for the next distraction
And all I need now is intellectual
intercourse
A soul to dig the hole much deeper
And I have no concept of time other than it is flying
If only I could kill the killer
All I really
want is some peace man
A place to find a common
ground
And all I really want is a wavelength
All I really want is some comfort
A way to get my
hands untied
And all I really want is some justice...

2. YOU OUGHTA KNOW
I want you
to know that I'm happy for you
I wish nothing but
the best for you both
An older version of me
Is she perverted like me
Would she go down on your
in a theater
Does she speak eloquently
And would
she have your baby
I'm sure she'd make a really
excellent mother
'Cause the love that you gave
that we made
wasn't able to make it enough for you
to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her
name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, 'til you died
But you're still alive
CHORUS:
And I'm here to remind you
Of the
mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to
deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know
You seem very well,
things look peaceful
I'm not quite as well, I thought
you should know
Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity
I hate to but you in the middle of dinner
It was
a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced
Are
you thinking of me when you fuck her
'Cause
the love that you gave that we made
wasn't able
to make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And
every time you speak her name
Does she know how
you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, 'til you
died
But you're sill alive
REPEAT CHORUS
'Cause the joke that you laid in the bed that was
me
And I'm not gonna fade
As soon as you close
your eyes and you know it
And every time I scratch
my nails down someone else's back
I hope you feel
it...well can you feel it

3. PERFECT
Sometimes is never quite enough
If you're flawless, then you'll win my love
Don't
forget to win first place
Don't forget to keep that
smile on your face
Be a good boy
Try a
little harder
You've got to measure up
And make
me prouder
How long before you screw it up
How many times do I have to tell you to hurry up
With everthing I do for you
The least you can do
is keep quiet
Be a good girl
You've gotta try
a little harder
That simply wasn't good enough
To make us proud
I'll live through you
I'll make you what I never was
If you're the best,
then maybe so am I
Compared to him compared to her
I'm doing this for youre own damn good
You'll make
up for what I bled
What's the problem...why are
you crying
Be a good boy
Push a little
farther now
That wasn't fast enough
To make
us happy
We'll love you just the way you are if
you're perfect

4. HAND IN MY POCKET
I'm broke
but I'm happy
I'm poor but I'm kind
I'm shore
but I'm healthy, yeah
I'm high but I'm grounded
I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed
I'm lost but I'm hopeful
baby
What it all comes down to
Is that everything's
gonna be fine fine fine
I've got one hand in my
pocked
And the other one is giving a high five
I feel drunk but I'm sober
I'm young and I'm underpaid
I'm tired but I'm working, yeah
I care but I'm restless
I'm here but I'm really gone
I'm wrong and I'm sorry
baby
What it all comes down to
Is that everything's
gonna be quite alright
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is flicking a cigarette
What it
all comes down to
Is that I haven't got it all figured
out just yet
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving the peace sign
I'm free
but I'm focused
I'm green but I'm wise
I'm hard
but I'm friendly baby
I'm sad but I'm laughing
I'm brave but I'm chicken shit
I'm sick but I'm
pretty baby
What it all boils down to
Is that
no one's really got it figured out just yet
I've
got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is playing
the piano
What it all comes down to my friends
Is that everything's just fine fine fine
I've got
one hand in my pocket
And the other one is hailing
a taxi cab...

5. RIGHT THROUGH YOU
Wait a minute
man
You misipronounced my name
You didn't wait
for all the information
Before you turned me away
Wait a minute sir
You kind of hurt my feelings
You see me as a sweet back-loaded puppet
And you've
got a meal ticket taste
CHORUS:
I see right
through you
I know right through you
I feel
right through you
I walk right through you
You took me for a joke
You took me for a child
You took a long hard look at my ass
And then played
golf for a while
Your ashake is like a fish
You pat me on the head
You took me out to wine dine
69 me
But didn't hear a damn word I said
REPEAT CHORUS
Hello Mr. Man
You didn't
think I'd come back
You didn't think I'd show up
with my army
And this ammunition on my back
Now that I'm Miss Thing
Now that I'm a zillionaire
You scan the credits for your name
And wonder why
it's not there

6. FORGIVEN
You know how
us Catholic girls can be
We make up for so much
time a little too late
I never forgot it, confusing
as it was
No fun with no guilt feelings
The
sinners, the saviors, the loverless priests
I'll
see you next Sunday
CHORUS:
We all had
our reasons to be there
We all had a thing or two
to learn
We all needed something to cling to
So we did
I sang Alleluia in the choir
I confessed my darkest deeds to an envious man
My
brothers they never went blind for what they did
But I may as well have
In the name of the Father,
the Skeptic and the Son
I had one more stupid question
REPEAT CHORUS
What I learned I rejected
but I believe again
I will suffer the consequence
of this inquisition
If I jump in this fountain,
will I be forgiven
REPEAT CHORUS
We
all had delusions in our head
We all had our minds
made up for us
We had to believe in something
So we did

7. YOU
LEARN
I recommend getting your heart trampled on
to anyone
I recommend walking around naked in your
living room
Swallow it down (what a jagged little
pill)
It feels so good (swimming in your stomach)
Wait until the dust settles
CHORUS:
You
live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you
learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn
I recommend biting off
more than you can chew to anyone
I certainly do
I recommend sticking your foot in your mouth at any
time
Feel free
Throw it down (the caution blocks
you from the wind)
Hold it up (to the rays)
You wait and see when the smoke clears
REPEAT
CHORUS
Wear it out (the way a three-year-old
would do)
Melt it down (you're gonna have to eventually
anyway)
The fire trucks are coming up around the
bend
REPEAT CHORUS
You grieve you
learn
You choke you learn
You laugh you learn
You choose you learn
You pray you learn
You
ask you learn
You live you learn

8. HEAD
OVER FEET
I had no choice but to hear you
You stated
your case time and again
I thought about it
You treat me like I'm a princess
I'm not used
to liking that
You ask how my day was
CHORUS:
You've already won me over in spite of me
Don't
be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised
if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help
it
It's all your fault
Your love is thick
and it swallowed me whole
You're so much braver
than I gave you credit for
That's not lip service
REPEAT CHORUS
You are the bearer of unconditional
things
You held your breath and the door for me
Thanks for your patience
You're the best listener
that I've ever met
You're my best friend
Best
friend with benefits
What took me so long
I've never felt this healthy before
I've never wanted
something rational
I am aware now
I am aware
now

9. MARY
JANE
What's the matter Mary Jane, you had a hard day
As you place the don't disturb sign on the door
You lost your place in line again, what a pity
You
never seem to want to dance anymore
It's a
long way down
On this roller coaster
The last
chance streetcar
Went off the track
And you're
on it
I hear you're counting sheep again Mary
Jane
What's the point of tryin' to dream anymore
I hear you're losing weight again Mary Jane
Do you
ever wonder who you're losing it for
Well it's
full speed baby
In the wrong direction
There's
a few more bruises
If that's the way
You insist
on heading
Please be honest Mary Jane
Are
you happy
Please don't censor your tears
You're the sweet crusader
And you're on your way
You're the last great innocent
And that's why I
love you
So take this moment Mary Jane and
be selfish
Worry not about the cars that go by
All that matters Mary Jane I your freedom
Keep warm
my dear, keep dry
Tell me
Tell me
What's
the matter Mary Jane

10. IRONIC
An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery
and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
Isn't
it ironic... don't you think
CHORUS:
It's
like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when
you've already paid
It's the good advice that you
just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed
his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
He waited
his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the
plane crashed down he thought
"Well isn't this
nice..."
And isn't it ironic... don't you think
REPEAT CHORUS
Well life has a funny way
of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's
okay and everything's going right
And life has a
funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's
gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face
A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking
sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand
spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting
the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful
wife
And isn't it ironic... don't you think
A little too ironic... and yeah I really do think...
REPEAT CHORUS
Life has a funny way of
sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of
helping you out
Helping you out

11. NOT
THE DOCTOR
I don't want to be the filler if the void is solely
yours
I don't want to be your glass of single malt
whiskey
Hidden in the bottom drawer
I don't
want to be a bandage if the wound is not mine
Lend
me some fresh air
I don't want to be adored for
what I merely represent to you
I don't want to be
your babysitter
You're a very big boy now
I
don't want to be your mother
I didn't carry you
in my womb for nine months
Show me the back door
CHORUS:
Visiting hours are 9 to 5 and if I
show up at 10 past 6
Well I already know that you'd
find some way to sneak me in and oh
Mind the empty
bottle with the holes along the bottom
You see it's
too much to ask for and I am not the doctor
I don't want to be the sweeper of the eggshells that
you walk upon
I don't want to be your other half
I believe that 1 and 1 make 2
I don't want to be
your food or the light from the fridge
on your face
at midnight
Hey what are you hungry for
I don't
want to be the glue that holds your pieces together
I don't want to be your idol
See this pedestal is
high and I'm afraid of heights
I don't want to be
lived through
A vicarious occasion
Please open
the window
REPEAT CHORUS
I don't want
to live on someday when my motto is last week
I
don't want to be responsible for your fractured hear
and its wounded beat
I don't want to be a substitute
for the smoke you've been inhaling
What do you thank
me
What do you thank me for

12. WAKE
UP
You like snow but only if it's warm
You like
rain but only if it's dry
No sentimental value to
the rose that fell on your floor
No fundamental
excuse for the granted I'm taken for
'Cause
it's easy not to
So much easier not to
And what
goes around never comes around to you
You like
pain but only if it doesn't hurt too much
You sit...
and you wait... to receive
There's an obvious attraction
To the path of least resistance in your life
There's
an obvious aversion no amount of my insistence
could
make you try tonight
'Cause it's easy not to
So much easier not to
And what goes around never
comes around to you
To you to you to you to you
to you...
There's no love no money no thrill anymore
There's an apprehensive naked little trembling
boy
With his head in his hands
There's an underestimated
and impatient little girl
Raising her hand
But it's easy not to
So much easier not to
And
what goes around never comes around to you
To you,
to you
get up get up get up off of it
get
up get up get up off of it
get out get outta here
enough already
get up get up get up off of it
wake up

14. YOUR
HOUSE
I went to your house
I walked up the stairs
And I opened your door without the ringing the bell
Walked down the hall
Into your room where I could
smell you
And I shouldn't be here without permission
Shouldn't be here
CHORUS:
Would you forgive
me love
If I dance in your shower
Would you
forgive me love
If I laid in your bed
Would
you forgive me love
If I stay all afternoon
I took off my clothes
I put on your robe
and I went through your drawers
And I found your
cologne
Went down to the den
Found your CD's
And I played your Joni
And I shouldn't stay
long you might be home soon
I shouldn't stay long
REPEAT CHORUS
I burn your incense
I ran a bath and I noticed a letter
That sat on
your desk
It said "hello love"
"I
love you so, love"
"Meet me at midnight"
And no it wasn't my writing I better go soon
It wasn't my writing
CHORUS:
So forgive
me love
If I cry in your shower
So forgive me
love
For the salt in your bed
So forgive me
love
If I cry all afternoon
