Open door policy
Come on in and see
Nothin' here to hide
Let your conscience be your guide
Didn't know what to say
So I said something strange
Soon as it came out of my mouth, phew
Everything went south
Blown out
Out of proportion
Out of proportion
Blown out
Out of proportion
Out of proportion

Mr. Right, Mr. Right
Can't go wrong
Mr. Right, Mr. Right

There's no mountain too big he won't climb
Always seems to have me on his mind
Mr. Right, Mr. Right
Can't go wrong
Reading poetry by candlelight
Knight in shining armor, shining knight
Mr. Right, Mr. Right
Can't go wrong
If you ever find one let me know
Cause I had one I foolishly let go
Mr. Right, Mr. Right
I was so wrong

My best friend
Found a better friend
But I don’t need any sympathy
I don’t need any sympathy
No I don’t need any sympathy yet
How can you sit there
What should I do
How can you sit there

Well I don’t need any sympathy

What a funny feeling
Oh yeah
To wake up in the morning
Oh Yeah
When someone started sailing
Oh Yeah
Sailing for the mainland
Oh Yeah
On a sunny day
Coast is clear
Never thought I’d feel
You so near
Peeling back a quarter
Oh yeah
Pulling all the rind off
Oh yeah
Right down to the center
Oh yeah
Sweet as any nectar
Oh yeah
Savor every piece
That I could
Never knew that fruit
Could taste so good
Barely had a moment
Oh yeah
Feeling for the time now
Oh yeah
Everything is slowed down
Oh yeah
Everything is fine now
Oh yeah
On a sunny day
Waters clear
California sky
Love is near
Oh yeah

How do hearts break
Then be unbroken
When you miss the chance of a lifetime again
Again
I made a mistake
Blew it wide open
And I watched the end of a lifeline slip away
Away
Is it too late
Is it ever too late
How long must I wait
For the answer to my questions
Some would sail across the ocean just to get another point of view
I just wait along the coastline for you
For you
How do hearts break
And be unbroken
When you kiss the chance of a lifetime goodbye
Goodbye
I let the bond break
I left it to fate
Now its all been erased
Cuz I went the wrong direction
Is it too late
Is it ever too late
How long must I wait
For the answer to my questions
Once you took me on a river just to get another point of view
But I was waiting for an answer from you
From you
And be unbroken

I don't want to punch you
I want to have lunch with you in the park
I don't want to fight you
I want to play nice with you in the dark
65 years could go by before my tears have dried
How do I fix this
I don't want to mix this
Sour into sweet
Everyone thinks that I'm gonna jinx it
It's not up to me
65 years could go by before my tears have dried
If you won't say you will
Meet me on sugar hill
It's the sweetest place you'll ever be
I don’t want to punch you
I want to have lunch with you in the park
I don't want to fight you
I want to play nice with you in the dark
65 years could go by before my tears have dried
If you don’t say you will
Meet me on sugar hill
Touch the sweetest place you’ll ever be

What is an island for if not to hide, not to hide
That’s what you're doing now
Behind your pride, behind your pride
One hundred years ago
You were a king, a mighty king
Now you're a forgotten thing, forgotten thing
What is a mountain for if not to climb, not to climb
That's what you're doing up here now
Awandering, among the pines
Leave us on our own
Leave us on our own

No sense in crying, no sense
No use in trying, no defense
People change
And when they don't include you
You feel so low
You feel so goddamn low
People lie
And when you're the one who's lied to
You feel so low
You feel so goddamn low
People leave
And there's nothing you can do
But feel so low
You feel so goddamn low
My weeping willow
Tree of tears
Falling on my pillow
Over all the years
No one sees
Out of sight they can forget
It feels so low
You feel so goddamn low
No one cares
When they do it's just regret
You feel so low
You feel so goddamn low
Now I live
Cigarette to cigarette
I feel so low
I feel so goddamn low
People change
And when they don't include you
You feel so low
You feel so goddamn low
People lie
And when you're the one who's lied to
You feel so low
You feel so goddamn low
And people leave
And there's nothing you can do
But feel so low
You feel so goddamn low
People change

Kaleidoscope I'm holding
Cuz when
When I look inside of you
You always change my point of view
Kaleidoscope, I’m holding
Kaleidoscope, you bring me hope
Cuz when I look inside of you
You always change my point of view
Kaleidoscope
Jumbled thoughts
Swirling around
Feel as if my feet are lifting off the ground
Tumble about, hurling around
Feels as if my feet will never touch the ground
Never touch the ground
But when I look inside of you
You always change my point of view
Kaleidoscope, I’m holding
Kaleidoscope, you bring me hope
Cuz when I look inside of you
You always change my point of view
Kaleidoscope
Smile I wear
Color brown
Reminds of a song 'tears of a clown'
Falling on the ground
When I look inside of you
You always change my point of view
Kaleidoscope, I’m holding
Kaleidoscope, you bring me hope
Cuz when I look inside of you
You always change my point of view

That's why I always write with a poison pen
In case I need to go in for the kill
I write the same words over and over again
Be still, my enemies, be still
That night we drove through Tijuana
I sang all my songs to you
Bowing down to a Madonna
You said to your own self be true
That's why I always write with a poison pen
In case I need to go in for the kill
I write the same words over and over again
Be still, my enemies, be still
Be still, my enemies, be still
That's why I always write with a poison pen
In case I need to go in for the kill
I write the same words over and over again
Be still, my enemies, be still

Look everybody it's me
Look at the way I pour my syrup
Finish up the morning meal
Got my backpack on
I'm going to Europe
Look everybody its me
Grab the reigns
Foot in the stirrup
Riding into the sun
Got my backpack on
I'm going to Europe
Thinks its time I went on an adventure
Think its time I flew the coop
Momma and Papa I'll see you in a could of months
When I need the money
Bring back my new honey
Tired of the way they divide you up
Tired of the way you get used to rejection
Don't want to follow all the sheep
Cuz you're gonna need more than wool for protection
Thinks its time I went on an adventure
Think its time I flew the coop
Momma and Papa I'll see you in a could of months
When I need the money
Bring back my new honey
Cuz its cold outside
And I don't want to have to put my coat on
Its cold outside
And I'd rather die than do as I am told
La la la
Well what happened after I left
What happened after I went to Europe?
Call it money well spent
Cuz you got to hit bottom and pull
Yourself clear up
Thinks its time I came home from my adventure
Need a little time to regroup
Momma and Papa I'll see you as soon as I can
Isn't it funny
I missed you more than money
Cuz it's cold outside
With no one around to tell you to put your coat on
Yeah it's cold outside
And I want to live until I'm really old
La la la
I'm just a college girl to you

I meant to write a happy song
'Cause people like to sing along
Could have been about the sun
And how it shines on everyone
Could have been about a birth
A happy birthday verse
But somehow I was cursed
When mirth was disbursed
I bet everything is beautiful on mars, on mars
Everything is beautiful on mars, on mars
On mars
I hope you're not too disturbed
If you read between the words
I really don't know what you heard
If you read between the words
I meant to write a happy song
'Cause people like to sing along
Could have been about the sun
And how it shines on everyone
I bet everything is beautiful on mars, on mars
Everything is beautiful on mars, on mars
On mars
I think I wrote a happy song
I think I wrote a happy song
Oh, hope you want to sing along

That’s my son
Wouldn’t touch a gun
Wouldn’t hurt a fly
Not afraid to cry
My job is done
What a son!
That’s my boy
Hope he doesn’t change
Well let him be different
But still the same
He won’t need Freud
Not this boy!
Up, up he goes
Like a tree grows and grows
And in the wind
Swings to and fro
To and fro
To and fro
Now he’s a man
But it’s a disguise
He’s still a baby in his mama’s eyes
There’s nothing bigger than
A little man
Up, up he goes
Like a tree grows and grows
And in the wind
Swings to and fro
To and fro
To and fro
Up, up he goes
Like a tree grows and grows
And in the wind
Swings to and fro
To and fro
To and fro
That’s my son
Wouldn’t touch a gun
Wouldn’t hurt a fly
Not afraid to cry
I'm a lucky one
My job is done
Yo that's my son
He's not afraid to cry

Feel like we're the same
blood lines the veins
the stems and the grains
Growing in the field
It's something that's real
See the appeal
Searching ...
So I'm
Going on a Journey to the
Edge of the universe
Or whatever comes first
I'm going on a Journey to the
Edge of the universe
Or whatever comes first
Or whatever comes first
No need to rehearse
Or write a new verse
Hummingbirds they hum their sound
Butterflies will fly around
No
Its' goes like that
Go
We're closer than you know
the distance the flow
of oceans below
ground and up to space
Regrets we will face
Dreams we won't chase
hoping ...
That's why I'm
Going on a Journey to the
Edge of the universe
Or whatever comes first
Or whatever comes first

If it would simplify my life
I would swallow a knife
I would swallow a knife
If it would simplify my life
I would dig up every bone
Turn over every stone
But you can't erase the past
And you can't expect things to last
But you can always be the one who makes it home
Make it home
You can let ambition rule
Be another important fool
Step on every hand and wind up being alone
But you can't control what comes
It will always come undone
But you can always be the one who makes it home
Make it home, I'm coming home

Waiting for the tide to come in
Cover the rocks so I can swim
Find someplace to dock, throw my anchor in
Like you, I'll do anything to save my own skin
ooh
Two fighters in the ring, both are blind
Punching at the air, they miss each time
Someone bring in relief, they must be fools
Standing on the sidelines, seems so cruel
ooh, this time
I do
I wish you well
I do

A silver soul up on a cloud
Said I'm a gonna make you proud
I said you fool that's not the game
Of all the clouds none are the same
I said you better come down
Cuz you look like a clown
Your silver line is gonna fade
Your silver line is gonna fade
The silver soul just looked at me and said how stupid can you be
It's not enough to sit and moan
I've had some dark clouds of my own
It's time to come down
When you look like a clown
Your silver line is gonna fade
Your silver line is gonna fade
I heard a crash and then a flash
I saw the lining in the trash
You better come down
When you look like a clown
This silver line is gonna fade
This silver line is gonna fade
This silver line is gonna fade
This silver line is gonna fade
Silver line, it's gonna fade
Silver line, it's gonna fade
A silver soul
A silver soul
Up on a cloud
A silver soul

We can never look at the sun because we’ve been told
No matter how you want to
So why’d you do what you’ve done
Where’s your control
I hope the devil haunts you
I hope the devil haunts you
Imagine everything you love dear on a runaway horse
No matter how we hold on
So why you'd need my worst fears
Where’s your remorse
I hope the devil haunts you
I hope the devil haunts you
One more soul on earth
Won’t be the last
Wasn’t the first
To be filled with desire to deepen a wound
That already hurts
I hope the devil haunts you

Nothing Can Hurt (remix)

You might as well have taken my face
And sprayed it with mace
Or put me behind bars
And cut me full of scars
Because nothing can hurt more than a broken heart
Shovel dirt over my eyes
Bury me alive
Throw me overboard
And watch me wash up on shore
Because nothing can hurt more than a broken heart
But now I’m free!
Got the worst behind me
Now I’m free!
No worries

I haven’t seen people traveling in cars
Haven’t seen traffic at all
Looked in the window, windows and mirrors
Haven’t seen any familiars
I know you’re out there, somewhere
I know you’re out there
I was barely out of my teens
When I found myself on the side of the road
Didn’t even know how I got there
Or which way I should go
I know you’re out there, somewhere
I know you’re out there
Then someone on a pathway came up behind me
Tapped me lightly on the shoulder
Said which way is that way and is that the right way?
We won't know until we're older
I know you’re out there, somewhere
I know you’re out there

The trouble with you is that you’re all wrong
We don’t have anything in common
and I hope someone better comes along
I hate to be so blunt
Because the truth hurts
But isn’t being lied to so much worse?
Honesty the way god said I’m supposed to use it
Honesty you take a word and then abuse it
Honesty will get you something or get you nowhere
“There is an art to it”, said the wolf to the hare
I wouldn’t have anything to do with you if you weren’t family
But we don’t have a choice, now can I say that candidly?
I hate to be so blunt
Because the truth hurts
But isn’t being lied to so much worse?

Well can you find someone to take care of my children
There’s really no one else just like me
I’d like to stick around but I’m not staying in this town
I just can’t seem to fill their every need
Grab me beer, point me to the steer
Cuz I’m a cowboy woman
The land is open wide, gonna take me some hide
Move over Jack, I’ve been and back.
Cuz I’m a cowboy woman
I’ve handled the rope, this is not a joke
I’m a cowboy woman
Well can you find someone to end this helpless feeling
There’s really no one else there for me
I’d like to rest awhile but that’s really not my style
I don’t want you to get ahead of me
Grab me beer, point me to the steer
The land is open wide, gonna tear me some hide
Move over Jack, I’ve been and back.
Gonna handle the rope, this is not a joke
Cuz I’m a cowboy woman
I’m a cowboy, I’m a cowboy …
Now I find myself without this love I’m needing
There’s really no one else left for me
Just to have the time, to get back what was mine
But there’s no going back, now I see
No going back, now I see
Cuz I’m a cowboy woman
I’m a cowboy woman

Took a train, a runaway, to go where I could go
To blow away the memories of smoke
Took a train, a runaway, to go where I could go
To blow away, before I choke
Then I saw her face, in my place
Yeah I saw her face, in my place
Then I saw her face, in my place
Yeah I saw her face, in my place
Went downtown to look around, to see what I could see
To go the places other souls do go
Went downtown to look around, to see what I could see
To trace the path of what normal would be
Then I saw her face, in my place
Yeah I saw her face, in my place
Yeah I saw her face, in my place
Yeah I saw her face, in my place
See
Then I saw her face, in my place
Then I saw her face, in my place
Yeah I saw her face, in my place
Yeah I saw her face, in my place
Not a nice way to see
It was a nice way

I built a house for Frank Lloyd Wright
He said it was the best house he’d ever seen
I designed a lamp for Tiffany
They said it was the best lamp that’s ever been
I flew the first airplane around the world
They said it was the best flight they’d ever flown
I invented the micro-chip and the corn chip
They said they were the best chips they’d ever known
I did all these things for you
All this for you
I waged a war for the unrepresented
They said It was the best war they’d ever fought
I cooled the warming of the globe
They said it was the coldest globe
It’s never hot
I did all these things for you
All this for you

Yesterday I had a sense of humor
Until yesterday I had a sense of humor
Until the roof caved over my head
And the plants I watered were dead
And the dog jumped on my bed
Cuz you chose someone else instead
Before yesterday I had a sense of humor
Until yesterday I had a sense of humor
Until some spit went in my eye
And the dishes wouldn’t dry
And someone let in a fly
And I promised I wouldn’t cry
About yesterday I had a sense of humor
Until yesterday I had a sense of humor
Now my books are all unread
And pencils are out of lead
And all I’ve eaten in bread
Cuz you love someone else instead of me
You loved me until yesterday
You loved me until yesterday

Why doesn’t your mother like me
She’s screwing everything up again
Guess I might deserve it ever so slightly
But her attitude has led me to spend
Several nights without even sleeping
And causing me to change my hair
Styles are different now I say politely
But does she listen or care?
Shakespeare and me have a lot in common here
Soliloquies, I could write a ton of these
To be or not to be with you
To be with you or not
Why doesn’t your sister like me
She’s beating me at every game
Living every minute to spite me
Sorry if I pronounced her name wrong
But I’m not good with hyphens
So why doesn’t she just let it go
Get over yourself and like me
I shouldn’t have said that I know
Shakespeare and me have a lot in common here
Soliloquies, I could write a ton of these
To be or not to be with you
To be with you or not
Aah

If I wasn't a girl, I'd be a boy, then I could play
Then I wouldn't be small, I'd be tall and have my way
I'd be skinning my knees, and climbing trees, not acting coy
I'd be running around, I'd push you down
I want to be boy
I want to be a boy, want to be a boy
I want to be a boy, want to be a boy
I want to be a boy, I want to be a boy, want to be a boy
I want to be a boy, want to be a boy
If I wasn't a girl then I'd be out long after dark
I'd be closing my ears, I would not hear, "Don't go too far"
I'd be able to shout, not have to pout to get my way
I'd be running around, I'd push you down
And I would say
I want to be a boy, want to be a boy
I want to be a boy, want to be a boy
I want to be a boy, want to be a boy, want to be a boy
I want to be a boy, want to be a boy
Long to be a boy, I want to be a boy
If I wasn't a girl, I'd be a boy, then I could play
Then I wouldn't be small, I'd be tall and have my way
I'd be skinning my knees, and climbing trees, not acting coy
I'd be running around, I'd push you down

I want to be a boy, want to be a boy
I want to be a boy, want to be a boy

Just make sure you're heard
Just make sure you're heard
Just make sure you're heard
Just make sure you're heard
There must be a story
You can tell about yourself
Something to gloat, exaggerate
Some absent person you can berate
I know you must have one complaint
Say anything
It's better than just someday, Sunday
Better than just listening
Better than just listening
Just make sure you're heard
Just make sure you're heard
There must be a story
You can tell about yourself
Where clarity is understood
Taking place where content should
The loudest one is understood
Say anything
It's better than just someday, Sunday
Better than just listening
Better than just listening
Some of us are listening
But it's better than not listening
Better than just listening
Better than just listening
Some of us are listening
But it's better than not listening
