Every tear you cry
every doubt you have
all of these things will pass away
All of your big mistakes
your little old heart would break
wishing that I would take them back
Write down the things you don't want,
burn them in a glass
Write down the things you dream of,
make a paper plane that flies to heaven
And buy a ticket for a plane,
and come and see me, baby.
Or drive your car all night,
by just starlight,
to Canada
That's where I'll be waiting.
All of the empty rooms,
All of the silent space,
every warm embrace is you.
Nothing is like it was,
there's nobody here but us,
I have been filled right up with this
Write down the words of sadness,
burn them in a cup
Write down the things you've wanted,
throw them to the wind that's soaring up to heaven
And buy a ticket for a plane,
and come and see me,baby.
Or drive your car all night,
By just starlight,
to Canada
Oh, buy a ticket for a plane,
and come and see me,baby
Or drive your car all night,
by just starlight, to Canada
That's where I'll be waiting.
I've made more mistakes then I can count upon my finger tips
I have been ashamed and I have felt as guilty as all sin
Counting every tear that drops will not account for any loss
I'll let the past remain behind me now
Fill it up with goodness
I'll drink it down with love
Never give up on me
I will never give up on you
You're everything I need
Oh just look at what we've been through
So far so good
I have wished on every star that shot across my broken heart
I am still amazed that you came true
I have kissed a hundred lips but none of them compare to this
I have found myself inside of you
You forgive my sad regrets
And I forgive myself
Never give up on me
I will never give up on you
You're everything I need
Oh just look at what we've been through
Never give up on me
I will never give up on you
You're everything I need
Oh just look at what we've been through
I love you
the hardest part of goodbye
the hardest part of all
i say those words to you now
and i watch you crawl back to me
where is your dignity
oh where is your dignity
i make you promises and
i break them all apart
i'm lying like a sidewalk
a typical loves me, loves me not
a typical loves me, loves me not
a typical loves me, loves me not
i never really loved you
i never loved you back
i never even liked you
i only wanted sex
sex
cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, cry baby
the hardest part of goodbye
is moving all your stuff
hey what's the name of that one guy
i sure could use his pick up truck
i surely could use his pick up truck
i surely could use his pick up truck
i never really loved you
i never loved you back
i never even liked you
i only wanted sex
i never really loved you
i never loved you back
i never even liked you
i only wanted sex
sex
i only wanted
i only wanted sex

Drinking whiskey from an open toe shoe
Farm hand and an evening glove
Puttin' on a kiss that will last until dawn
I'm going to town with my best dress on
Bare buttin' on an apple crate bench
Do my face in the loft of the barn
I touch myself on the old chaise lounge
I'm going to town with my best dress on
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm so pretty
Gonna ask myself to my prom
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm all sexy
Going to town with my best dress on (2 x's)
Double clutching in my high heel shoes
Check the mirror and I blow myself a kiss
Turn up the radio 'cause they're playing my
favorite song
I'm going to town with my best dress on
Going to town with my best dress on
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm so pretty
Gonna ask myself to my prom
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm all sexy
Going to town with my best dress on (2 x's)
Black babies running for the candy truck in Africa
See them kicking up the dust from miles away
I'm drinking Evian and wondering where the hell I am
Looking for the preacher man to just translate
To just translate (2 x's)
We're eating chicken feet
Swear it kind of tastes like meat
Waiting for the Masai chief to take us in
Flies cover up his face
Makes you want to look away
Cannot take another day beneath this heat
Beneath this heat
The world is falling apart
And I know in my heart,
I don't know what to do about it
The world is bigger than me
And I do not believe another human being
On the planet
The world, the world needs love
Love and nothing else can save us now
Black babies running from a big hairy elephant
I wish that I had the guts to save the day
Here come the preacher man he's telling
Us to run like mad
Leave everything you have and follow me
Dive in the water hole don't drink it in you know
You'll die from an overload of some disease
Dive in the water hole don't drink it in you know
You'll die from an overload of some disease
Some disease
i've been on my hands and knees
crawling towards eternity
looking for the piece of me that always got away
and i've been so afraid to stand my ground
so i simply shut my mouth
close my eyes, bite my lip
and swallow every tear
i can't do anything
i don't believe in anyone
i just feel sorry for myself all day long
all day long
look inside my body baby
see the twists and turns inside me
every blinding curve that drives you right around the bend
i know you've had it up to there with all my chaos and confusion
i am living a delusion and i do not give a damn
i can't do anything
i don't need anybody else
i just feel sorry for myself
for myself
for myself
for myself
look into my heart and tell me i am a complete disaster
wasn't that what you were after
always thought it was
wasn't i complete desire
filthy ash without the fire
you could not have been much higher without some kind of drug
i can't do anything
i don't believe in anyone
i just feel sorry for myself for myself
i can't do anything
i don't need anybody else
i just feel sorry for myself
all day long
i can't do anything
i don't believe in anyone
i just feel sorry for myself for myself
i can't do anything
i don't need anybody else
i just feel sorry for myself
i need to tell you something
i want to get this off of me
this girl is out to hurt you
and she is really nasty
janeen will poke your eyes out
janeen will tear your heart apart
i want to tell you something
i need to get the words out
this girl is gonna get you and she will stop at nothing
janeen will sink her teeth in
so deeply into your skin
janeen will make you feel like dying
oh she's in the movies
oh she's on the screen
oh she's like a famous person
oh janeen
i saw her on the tv
she was completely stupid
her hair was a disaster
her shirt was really putrid
janeen is nothing pretty
she looks like nothing really
she has these awful glasses
she treats us all like assholes
janeen is so ungrateful
janeen's a heartless bastard
janeen will make you feel like dying
oh she's in the movies
oh she's on the screen
oh just like a famous person
oh janeen
