"Beautiful Freak"

"Beautiful Freak"



You're such a beautiful freak
I wish there were more just like you
You're not like all of the others

And that is why i love you
Beautiful freak, beautiful freak
That is why i love you
Beautiful freak, beautiful freak

Some people think you have a problem
But that problem lies only with them
Just 'cause you are not like the others

But that is why i love you
Beautiful freak, beautiful freak
Yeah that is why i love you
Beautiful freak, beautiful freak

Too good for this world
But i hope you will stay
And i'll be here to see
That you don't fade away

You're such a beautiful freak
I bet you are flying inside
Dart down and then go for cover

And know that i
I love you
Beautiful freak, beautiful freak
You know that i
I love you
Beautiful freak, beautiful freak

"Beginner's Luck"

"Beginner's Luck"



All my life I had this funny little feeling
Came and went time and again in all my daily dealings
Call it a deficit, an emptiness inside
Why is true love hard to find, why does true love hide

But now I found you and I know that we would be
So very happy if you could only see
That I was made for you and you were made for me

The road in front of us is long and it is wide
We've got beginner's luck, we've got it on our side
With you I will and well I think I'm qualified
And with beginner's luck we've got to take the ride

I've got a plan you know I've got it all worked out
And all you gotta do is pack your bags and check your doubts
You come around and you will see just what I am
A true love through the worst of times, a true love to the end

So now you found me and you only gotta see
How complementary we could really be
Cos I was made for you and you were made for me

The road in front of us is long and it is wide
We've got beginner's luck, we've got it on our side
We will be stronger if our forces are aligned
And with beginner's luck we've got to take the ride

We'll take the ride as far as anyone can go
We'll pray hand in hand until the toe
I've got it all worked out don't worry about a thing
Just give your hand to me, and here, put on this ring

The road in front of us is long and it is wide
We've got beginner's luck, we've got it on our side
With you I will and well I think I'm qualified
And with beginner's luck we've got to take the ride

"Birdgirl On A Cell Phone"

"Birdgirl On A Cell Phone"



She has eyes disability blue
A german dog and a strict curfew
And if one man's cage is another man's stage
Then she's turned the script to another page
And she doesn't really give a damn
What you have to say

She makes a call on her friend's cell phone
The operator answers and says "you're not alone"
And if one man's ceiling is another's dance floor
Then she'll be the one running to the seashore
Trying to tell the seagulls this is home

And if one man's cage is another man's stage
Then she'll be the one wiser than her age
Trying to get the message to your ears

"Blinking Lights (For Me)"

"Blinking Lights (For Me)"



Blinking lights on the airplane wings
Up above the trees
Blinking down a morse code signal
Especially for me

Ain't no rainbow in the sky
In the middle of the night
But the signal's coming through
One day i will be alright again

Blinking lights on the highway cars
Stopping one by one
Get a look at the accident
Didn't see that one coming

And the doctor in the sky
Gonna bring his chopper down
Gonna bring me out alive
And set me on the ground
Once more again

Blinking lights on the airplane wings
Up above the trees

One day i will be alright again

Blinking lights on the highway cars
Stopping one by one
Get a look at the accident

And the doctor in the sky
Gonna bring his chopper down
Gonna bring me out alive
And set me on the ground
Once more again

Blinking lights on the airplane wings

"Bombs Away"

"Bombs Away"



Nobody listens to the whisperin' fool
Are you listenin'? I didn't think so
I've been quiet as church-house mouse
Tip toeing everywhere I go
I had enough for being complacent
I had enough of being a mouse
I no longer keep my mouth shut
Bombs away, gonna shake the house

Bombs away, I will be heard
You better listen cause you just might learn
Bombs away
Shriek, holler and shout
And if you're not ready than you'd better get out now

Cat run away
You better hope it's a good day
You don't know how I am
If it's a bad day there may be no end

Bombs away, I will be heard
And your opinion's gonna wait it's turn
Bombs away
Shriek, holler and shout
and if you're not ready than you better get out now

Nobody listens to a whisperin' fool
You're not listenin', I didn't think so
I've been quiet as church-house mouse
tip-toeing everywhere I go
I've had enough of being complacent
I've had enough of being a mouse
I no longer keep my mouth shut
Bombs away
Gonna shake the house

Baby do go better watch your back
A masterpiece of horror 'bout to be unleashed Jack
A dog not barking ain't no dog at all
Bombs away
Take cover the walls are gonna fall

Nobody listens to the whisperin fool
Are you listening? I know that you are
I've been quiet as church-house mouse
Tip-toeing everywhere I go
I've had enough of being complacent
I had enough of being a mouse
I no longer keep my mouth shut
Bombs away, gonna rattle the house

Bombs away
I will be heard
You better listen cause you just might learn
Bombs away, shriek, holler and shout
And if you're not ready than you better get out now

"Bow Out"

"Bow Out"



A lot of what she said
And much of what she did
I don't doubt that she meant well
While drifting and wounded

But it's a game she plays
A game I'd never win
Those days aren't coming back
To change the state I'm in

In the darkness I forgot that the game was all about
Making up reality, and jealousy, and doubt
I bow out

Everything I am
Or what I used to be
Is not part of the hollow shell
Of a man that you see

All the time unsure
All my days a waste
Never knowing where I stood
Much less which way I face

In the darkness I forgot that the game was all about
Making up reality, and jealousy, and doubt
I bow out

"Bus Stop Boxer"

"Bus Stop Boxer"




I don't miss where i came from
But each night i dream about being back home
When i wake up in the morning
I'm too tired
And tired of being alone

So i get up and go downtown
And pick me out a little piece of ground
Where i can prove something to the world
I can prove something to the world

Don't look at me
I'm the bus stop boxer

Daddy put us in the truck and
Dropped us off and said good luck
Then one lucky kid waiting for the bus
Made a winner out of one of us

Don't look at me
I'm the bus stop boxer

Going down to the railroad tracks
Where people know that they better not relax
I'm the man
Baby i am the man
This is where i can make you understand

"Cancer For The Cure"

"Cancer For The Cure"



The kids are diggin' up a brand new hole
Where to put the deadbeat mom
Grandpa's happy watching video porn
With the closed-caption on
And father knows best
About suicide and smack
Well, hee hee hee

Cancer for the cure
Cancer for the cure
Buckle up and endure now baby
Cancer for the cure

Ol' blue eyes is back again
But he was never here in the first place
A heart attack may be something to fear
But take a look out back
'cause courtney needs love
And so do i
Well, hee hee hee

Cancer for the cure
Cancer for the cure
Buckle up and endure now sweet thing
The cancer for the cure

"Checkout Blues"

"Checkout Blues"




I've got something
Maybe i should tell you
I may check out
At any given time

Things won't get better
Until they get much worse
Is the curse stronger than me
Or am i stronger than the curse

Everyone is scared of me
And i'm scared of me too
Never know just what i'm gonna do

Heads up, kittens
Everything is bad
The sky is dark now
But it's the best dark i ever had

Hang on to a little thing
And let it guide the way
Bring it with you to
Another day

I've got something
Maybe i should tell you
I'm hanging on here
And i'm really gonna try

Things won't get better
Until they get much worse
Am i stronger than the curse
