"All In A Day's Work"

"All In A Day's Work"



When i was born the doctor said
There's something wrong inside that baby head
When i was a boy at sunday school
I told them all that they were fools

All in a day's work
To live and breathe
A sight to see
And so it goes

I went into the fortune teller's
She wouldn't read my horoscope
I go into the laundromat
The people all buy extra soap

All in a day's work
To live and breathe
A sight to see

"All The Beautiful Things"

"All The Beautiful Things"



Everyday I wake up, wonder why
I'm alone when I know I'm a lovely guy
Birds come down from sky so blue
See all the beautiful things you do
Why can't I just get with you

Every night I carry out my plan
Pray to God that one day I could be your man
Birds come down from sky so blue
See all the beautiful things you do
Why can't I just get with

You'd be my only friend in the world
Well you could just be my girl

And if I do run away from this life
There won't be much for me in the afterlife
Although I know that you don't even care
I'd rather stay in a world where
Birds come down from sky so blue
See all the beautiful things you do
Why can't I just get with you

"Animal"

"Animal"



If i could love you
I'm sure i would
If i could hold you
And feel understood
I'd be there now
But i don't know how
'cause i am an animal

Bundle of rags
Wrap me tight
Keep me safe inside
Warm at night

I am no more
I am not good
I am so sorry
If you misunderstood
I'd make it up
But i cannot
If i am an animal

"Answers"

"Answers"



Living lost has been the way
Since the day I came along
Drifting through the dead-eyed days
When every turn is wrong

And I knew it was the darkest road
That I'd never know just how
To travel on to get somewhere
But I thought I'd have some answers by now

Meaning to find meaning
In the most meaningless of times
Believing I believed in something
Beyond equals in time

And I opened up my heart and said
This much I'll allow
All who enter welcome in
And I thought I'd have some answers by now

Living lost is not the way
To go from here on out
Attesting in the dead-eye age
Is not all it's about

And I may not have that far to go
I might make it somehow
The brightest light may shine ahead
But I thought I'd have some answers by now

"Ant Farm"

"Ant Farm"



Hate a lot of things
But i love a few things
And you are one of them

Hard to believe
After all of these years
But you are one of them

Walk down the street
I'm thinking:
Everybody move along
I've got a sad-hearted needing
To belong

Nevertheless
It's all the mess you made
But i can let it go

Walk down the street
I'm thinking:
Look at all the ants in a farm
I've got a sad-hearted feeling
To harm

Hate a lot of things
But i love a few things
And you are one of them

"Apple Trees"

"Apple Trees"



We were on this car trip,
And I was looking at these rows and rows of trees all along the highway.
I don't know what kind of trees, apples or something.
There were just like thousands and thousands of rows of a thousand trees each.
And I picked one tree that I could see about eight trees back in this one row in the middle.
Just one in a billion.
And that's how I felt.

"Are You & Me Gonna Happen"

"Are You & Me Gonna Happen"



Are you and me gonna happen
Are you and me gonna happen soon

The gods smile hard down upon
A love that's shared
Heaven's awaiting those who dare

Are you and me gonna happen
Are you and me gonna happen soon

A sweeter feeling i can't guess
Will ever be
A truer union i can't see

I don't know how much more i can take
I will run through the streets
I will howl at the moon
If you and me cannot be happening soon

"Baby Genius"

"Baby Genius"



Baby genius
Look how you've grown
Where do you go from here?
Didn't we have some good times
After all is said and done?

Small body and small mind
Big head and big headaches
My back is broken
Baby genius
Find a new ride

"Baby Loves Me"

"Baby Loves Me"



Record company hates me
The doctor says I'm sick
The bad girls think I'm just too nice
And the nice girls call me 'Dick'

But baby loves me
And she's smarter than you
My baby loves me
Unlikely but true

Policeman flashes the red lights
Coach says that I'm weak
Teacher says I'm not too bright
Bodybuilder calls me pipsqueak

But baby loves me
And she's smarter than you
My baby loves me
Unlikely but true

The neighbors don't like my flowers
The waiter don't like my tip
The librarian shushes me
Travel agent canceled my trip

But baby loves me
And she's smarter than you
My baby loves me
Unlikely but true

Minister says I'm a demon
Dietitian says I'm a pig
Warm hearted say I'm freezin'
Promoter won't give me the gig

But baby loves me
And she's smarter than you
My baby loves me
Unlikely but true

My tired body is breakin' down
The world is endin' soon
It's all crumblin' at my feet
Not sure what to do

But baby loves me
And that's a real good thing
My baby loves me
It's a beautiful thing

But baby loves me
And she's smarter than you
My baby loves me
Unlikely but true

Baby loves me

"Bad News"

"Bad News"



Guess i'm doing something wrong
Never feel right in these shoes
Pocket full of matches and a head full of flames
Got to warn you that i'm bad news

She tucks me in and then she screams
"one day you will have to choose
Either take care of me or take care of you
And don't pretend you're not bad news"

Come on now i'll take you home
You don't have a thing to lose
But stick around long enough and you'll find out
I am nothing but bad news

You can never change where you're from
No matter who i will accuse
I'm gonna get on with a better life
And one day i won't be bad news

It's the same everyday when i wake up
It's the same in the way that you
Gave me up
In the middle of a swan dive

And i was soaring down
Perfect and slow
