Bad For Me
He’s bad for me but I want him like chocolate cake
He’s bad for me but I want him so bad I ache
I’ve tasted the blood of rejection and now I’m craving power like I used to crave protection
La da da da La da da da da
He entreated me despite my loyalties
& then he cheated me of all I thought he’d be
What is it that I really want
To harness the beast or kill what haunts me
La da da da La da da da da
Till he’s mad for me or I’ve had all I can take
Till he’s mad for me I just can’t see straight
La da da da La da da da da
How can I escape
La da da da La da da da da
How can I be brave?

Parachute
Morphine for my conscious
Forgiveness for my lies
For all that needs to live, something has to die
You finally found out what you wanted but that doesn’t mean that’s what you’re going to get
Can’t tell the Jekyll from the Hyde
But it doesn’t change the facts
Can’t see the present for the future
Can’t tell this moment from the last
Don’t want to be a sore loser when I find I can’t go back
What kind of man would love me & support my dignity
& if I need a parachute for the coming down
It all comes down to me
& as much as I’d like the assistance don’t want to lose my honesty
Can’t see the present for the future
Can’t tell this moment from the last
Don’t want to be a sore loser when I find I can’t go back
& I feel yes I feel
When I feel your imposition
& I lose when you lose but that wasn’t my intention
Ohhhh nooooo!
Can’t see the present for the future
Can’t tell this moment from the last
Don’t want to be a sore loser
Don’t wanna hold myself back when I find I can’t go back
Don’t want to settle
No don’t want to settle

Element
Well rounded concerns pour from your mouth
like rhetoric from a jar
Expired outdated medicine from the dark ages
of well meaning intentions
Could you know
Could you ever see that I would love you to love me here in my element
Misfitted hand me down paradigms
I bought from you
The way kids always do
No refund no return
Why should I wear well that truth
Why can’t I sell mine to you?
Could you know it
Could you ever see
I would love you to love me here in my element
Your shadow is long
my spirit is wide
There must be a place I don’t have to hide
Tiptoe around your blue
Out of my way for you
Heart on sleeves stains, much to your chagrin
Why should I pretend
I’m spilling out again
Gracefully thriving, finally more than dreaming
Worthy of your praise, your pride, your bond
I wish you could celebrate what you have grown
The best part of you that caught on
Whether you ever know or whether you ever see
I will love you & be free here in my element
Here in my element

The Queen of IDC
The Queen of i don’t care is turning heads tonight
If shes affected you know it’s her delight
It doesn’t matter if you run she won’t fight
That’s her mystery
That’s her right
Ohhh
“Too honest to be angry I shoved him away, are you trying to make love to me?
Why not? he said furiously jumping up & backing away to the door to make his exit, you go to bed with everyone else why not me?”
That’s what she said
That’s what she said
The Queen of idc holds court here tonight
If she’s affected it’s her delight
It doesn’t matter if you run she won’t fight
That’s her mystery
That’s her right
All dignity
No self control
Ah ah ha ah ha
She won’t be needing you tonight
Are you trying to make love to me
That’s her mystery
That’s what she said that’s what she said
That’s what she said
That’s her mystery
That’s her right

Psyche
Psyche has spilled the hot wax on her lover
She needs to be banned
She needs to come crawling back on her knees
Venus the goddess of love first needs to be pleased
I am hoping you are driving carefully
Even if you move like a saint sometimes I can’t see straight
Caution if you’re acting strange I might have to pull back the reins
Am I the standing we will see will I be a safe place for you to feel am I the real thing
Will you be a safe place for me to grow?
I’m remembering your sweet tears and I just don’t know
Even if you think I’m a saint sometimes I can’t see straight caution if you’re changing lanes I might throw a curve in the rain
Yeah
Da da da da da da da
Even if you think I’m a saint sometimes I can’t keep anything straight
Caution if you’re acting strange I might throw a curve in the rain
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
sometimes I feel like a saint
Like a saint
sometimes I act like a child
Sometimes I act like someone I don’t want to know sometimes I feel like someone worth trying for

Silhouette
He steals his pleasure between dreams of someday treasure
the color of sage
He struggles silent insistently quiet with his neediness and rage
& I want to reach out to expose his anger
& then absorb him all at once give shelter to the stranger
Shelter to the stranger
Oh In his head, in my bed
spite of all the books we’ve read
You’d think that love would pay our debts
after everything we meant
But I’m burning bridges
I’m troubled water
I won’t grow now to save our love
When I thought I would, you know I knew I could
but now I’m not sure what’s to come
Cause if I reach out to expose my anger
I’ll have to fight the very things that I’ve been running from
I’ve been running from
Oh In his head in my bed in spite of all the books we’ve read
You’d think that love would pay our debts after everything we meant
Whose shadow is crowding us out?
Might be mine
Might be mine
Oh In his head, in my bed
spite of all the books we’ve read
You’d think that love would pay our debts after all the time we spent (mine mine mine)
oh In his head
oh in my bed
You’d think that love would pay our debts after all the time we spent
Oh In his head in my bed
You’d think that love would pay our debts after everything we meant
But I can still see the silhouette of the stranger in my bed
silhouette of the stranger in my bed

Plenty More
You like the way that I hang on your every word
But I can tell you’re wondering if my sweet intentions are pure
I guess there’s no real way of knowing now
how long this will last
But theres plenty more
Yeah there’s plenty more
Plenty more where that came from there’s plenty more yeah there’s plenty more where you’re concerned
You see I’ve got nothing to hide cause there’s no reason to pretend
You seem to pick up where I leave off naturally where your take your turn
Let’s just put to test these questions for as long as they last cause there’s
plenty more
Yeah there’s plenty more
Plenty more where that came from there’s plenty more yeah there’s plenty more where you’re concerned
plenty more
Yeah there’s plenty more
where that came from there’s plenty more yeah there’s plenty more where you’re concerned

Anytime, Anywhere
Lately baby I’m seeing stars everywhere
Ever since you hit me with your love
It doesn’t take a genius to care but there’s no way around your Midas touch
Anytime, anywhere the muses take us
Let’s let love speak for itself
We just might rise to the occasion
Made a promise to myself for the future
I swore that I would never forget
Life’s too short to waste our time & our talent on a love that just doesn’t want to fit
Anytime, anywhere the muses take us
Let’s let love speak for itself
On the path of least resistance we just might rise to the occasion
Anytime, anywhere the muses take us
Let’s let love speak for itself
We just might rise to the occasion

Love At Bay
I told you I was complicated
I told you there were no garentee’s
I thought it was worth the risk but I didn’t know I would lose so much sleep
I thought I shouldn’t try to fight it
If it’s a game we both want to play
I could see the red flags in the distance
but I couldn’t see the pain, with all your beauty in the way
Now I’m stepping back
Keeping love away
I learn the art of keeping myself away
If you swim to shore thou
It could go either way
I’m keeping love at bay
You said you were undecided
Whatever was would be
But every time you pull away I feel you taking another piece of me
I still don’t know what you wanted & this is all so new to me
You’re not much on talking & I don’t know the first thing about how things should be
So I’m stepping back
Keeping love away
I learn the art of keeping myself away
If you swim to shore thou
It could go either way
I’m keeping love at bay
Even if you’re not down with falling in love
Even if I am
You won’t hear it from me
But there’s a chance that you could be stalling for the possibility
So I’m stepping back
Keeping love away
I learn the art of giving myself away
If you swim to shore thou
It could go either way
I’m keeping love at bay
I’m keeping love at bay
I’m keeping love at bay

Bound To Happen
Smell so sweet intoxicate me with your tone of voice
Tease me with desire, talk in code & then avoid
Tell you you’re too young for me at least that makes sense
The end of our respectful roles
Typecast by circumstance
Drawn in by the dance
This was bound to happen anyway
Just another role I had to play
Give me something to relieve the pain
Tell me you didn’t love me
This was bound to happen anyway
I found an Irish clover back when I believed
You with your Cajun superstition sacred mystery
I saw you as the hero of a novel you designed
I felt you there in all your glory
I became intwined but you never knew my mind
This was bound to happen anyway
Just another role you had to play
Give me something to relieve the pain
Tell me you didn’t love me
This was bound to happen anyway
You never say a word
You’d rather leave it in the hands of fate
You never say a word
When I ask you to give it to me straight
This was bound to happen anyway
Just a stupid role I had to play
Give me something to relieve the pain
Tell me you didn’t love me
Tell me this was bound to happen anyway yeah
Tell me you didn’t love me
This was bound to happen anyway
Tell me you didn’t love me
This was bound to happen anyway this was
This was bound to happen anyway

Because She Wants To

Because She Wants To
She lets him take advantage of the silence so he doesn’t have to lie
She lets him take advantage of her body & the reasons are implied
Because she wants to
If you see them out you’d never know he knew her name
But still she lets him call her at 2 am just the same
Because she wants to
Because she wants to
Because she wants to
Because she wants to be surprised
She wants to see the other side
Surprise
Surprise she’s on the other side
The moral of the story is simple cause there’s no one here to blame
She finds it’s what she doesn’t want that drives her to what it is that makes her change
Because she wants to
See the other side
Because she wants to
So she doesn’t to lie
Because she wants to
Because she wants to till she’s satisfied
Because she wants to be be surprised

It’s Over
This is not my need no
Just a taste of my dream
If I could just transcend yes
But it’s gotten under my skin
It’s over it’s over it’s over
It’s over
By the time you get this thru your head
It’s over it’s over it’s over
You are not my fear no
Just a symbol & a dare
What about all of our ideas
What about the way it feels
What about the reverence
What about our circumstance
It’s over it’s over it’s over
It’s over
By the time you get this thru your head
It’s over it’s over it’s over
If you have to hide it’s time for change oh it’s time for change
Ohhh oh oh oh
It’s over
It’s over it’s over it’s over
It’s over
By the time you get this thru your head
It’s over
By the time you get this thru your head
It’s over it’s over it’s over

Afraid of Heights
If you see her
Tell her why
You haven’t seen her in a while
Throw her a line but
Don’t get to too close if you’re afraid of heights
She’ll say she love you every time
there’s a chance you’ll fall
There’s a chance you’ll fly
You just might
She will tell you
It’s not fair
To leave her so long in the air
Stay if you date but
Don’t get to too close if you’re afraid of heights
She’ll say she love you every time
there’s a chance you’ll fall
There’s a chance you’ll fly
You never know you think you won’t
You just might
You just might
You can cross that bridge
When you get to it
Don’t get to too close if you’re afraid of heights
She’ll say she loves you every time
there’s a chance you’ll fall
You might fly
You never know you think you won’t but
Well You just might
Oh You just might
Don’t get too close
You just might
Don’t get to close if you’re afraid of heights
Don’t get to too close if you’re afraid of heights
She’ll say she love you every time
there’s a chance you’ll fall
There’s a chance you’ll fly
You just might
She says she loves you every time
She says she loves you every time
She says she loves you
